The Eye-Opening Difference Between Canada and Nigerian Period Culture

Welcome to Flow & Tell – where we break the silence on period taboos with unapologetic honesty and a whole lot of humor! In this episode, our Gen Z duo, Jessica and Chichi, dive into their wild journeys from Nigeria to Canada, revealing how two very different cultures view menstruation.

Discover the stark contrasts: in Nigeria, free tampons are a myth and period discussions are shrouded in secrecy, while in Canada, open conversations and accessible menstrual products have completely flipped the narrative. Hear hilarious myths debunked—like the absurd belief that chatting with boys while on your period could lead to pregnancy—and laugh along as Jessica recounts her unforgettable first encounter with a tampon. Plus, enjoy a playful breakdown of sanitary products and quirky, real-life anecdotes that capture the essence of growing up with period stigma.

Join us as we spark bold conversations, challenge outdated norms, and celebrate a revolution in period talk. If you're ready to laugh, learn, and share your own experiences, hit that subscribe button, drop a comment, and connect with us on social media.
