Vaginas and Periods 101

Vaginas and Periods 101: A Pop-Up Book is a fun and creative way to learn more about… vaginas and periods! 

The book uses pop-ups and colourful graphics to normalize anatomy aesthetics and menstruation. It also describes various menstrual product options beyond just tampons and pads. We want all young people to feel comfortable in their bodies throughout puberty and into adulthood!

As licensed mental health therapists and sex educators, Christian Hoeger and Kristen Lilla have taught a lot of young people and they saw a need to normalise menstruation and couldn’t believe this book didn’t already exist! They are on a mission for young people to feel comfortable in their bodies throughout puberty and into adulthood.

Plus, we know not only girls/women menstruate so we’ve been very intentional to not use pronouns in the book and to include non-binary characters.
