It is our second installment of our monthly That Time Of The Month series: This week on Box Tlk co-hosts Amelia Jude and Alexandria Harrold PhD talk about menstrual products (menstrual cups, tampons, pads, moss pads, and cotton sticks) and why they hate the terms "feminine hygiene products" and "sanitary napkins." We also talk about sustainability, the pink tax, and period poverty. Oh yeah ... both hosts also share some deep dark tales from their mental vaults about their early years trying to use tampons.  Let’s go girls!

Our very first episode (awwww) of Box Tlk: the podcast all about...

Every Tuesday co-hosts Alexandria Harrold, Ph.D., and Amelia Jude, B.F.A., help women (and the people who love them) learn about their bodies through expert interviews, personal anecdotes, and listener questions from our Mail Slot (Call us! 754-CALL-BOX).

Attempting to de-stigmatize sharing and discussing all facets of women’s health by helping to answer the question—”Is this normal?” So, step away from that incognito tab and see you next Tuesday on Box Tlk.
