Like, maybe you've had an interaction with someone who didn't believe how painful your period really was?

Or, perhaps you've had someone ask a question about tampons or pads that made you think, "Are you okay?!?!"

Heck, maybe you even came across a grossly misinformed individual who REALLY did not understand how periods work?
