09 Jan Self-Confessed ‘Blood Witch’ Smears Period Blood On Face To Tackle The Stigma Surrounding Menstruation

If you’re a period having human, then you’ll know that there is a lot of stigma surrounding menstruation. Advertisements for sanitary products are a good example of this because the vast majority of them use a blue liquid in their demonstrations instead of a red one.

When Aunty Flow pays a person’s uterus a visit, it can be a painful and tricky time of the month. Their hormones will be out of balance, causing potential changes in mood, and the last thing that they need is society shaming them for a perfectly natural bodily function.

Now, a self-proclaimed “blood witch” has decided to tackle this issue head-on in a, um, rather unusual way.

Most people with vaginas dread that time of the month because of its side effects. If they are on holiday, it pretty much rules out a visit to the pool, and, depending on whether or not their partner is into it, a period could also take sex off of the menu.

That’s not to mention the clean-up operation that takes place during Shark Week as they attempt to keep their nether regions from turning into a bloodbath!

In recent years, there have been a number of attempts to destigmatize menstruation. This has involved attempts to make sanitary products more easily accessible and affordable for all and a more open discussion about the trials and tribulations of that time of the month.

But until now, the use of menstrual blood as part of a “sacred ritual” isn’t something many people have considered.
