Periods, body positivity, and third wave feminism

[BrokenQuill92]

. . . unless you are just used to the smell of your own menstrual blood.

Pretty sure almost any bodily fluid if present in enough quantity is not going to smell like daisies.

I never said that menstrual blood is devoid of odor.
Or smells like daises.

But, foul-smelling menstrual blood (as in, the smell honestly makes you want to gag), that persists despite proper attention to hygiene, is not normal. It's typically a sign of infection, often due to pH imbalance.

And it should be brought to a healthcare provider's attention.

It may be my delicate nose, or a little the meds I'm on. Besides I get one period a year now that I'm on nexplanon.
