On this weeks episode, we have a special guest! Join us as we speak about period history, pads in history, and just a vent about periods themselves.

Welcome back! On Todays episode of PADS AND TAMPS Ami talks about Period studies done around the world, but also would like to raise awareness about period poverty and the dangers that menstruation can bring. Pads and Tamps vows to advocate on behalf of people suffering from period poverty especially the women of Gaza, who need help during this time. On behalf of them, here is a resource you can follow to donate and support: https://www.actionaid.org.uk/donate/emergency/gaza-crisis-2023 .

On this episode of PADS AND TAMPS, showing in black and white, Jay asks Ami questions about period culture and anatomy. But most importantly Jay shows off his anatomy knowledge, and how the understanding of the female body is so misunderstood.
