Molly Fenton: Love Your Period


Listen Later

On the latest episode of Period Story podcast, I was so pleased to speak to Molly Fenton, the 17 year old Welsh campaigner who started a movement to help people love periods, called aptly, the Love Your Period campaign.



Molly shares the story of her first period at just 8 years old in year 4. She said because she was so young, she didn’t really understand what was happening and wasn’t prepared.



Molly says that starting the Love Your Period campaign motivated her to better educate herself about periods and menstrual health. Listen to hear what Molly was surprised to learn is and isn’t normal.



Molly talks about the work she’s been in doing in schools in Cardiff to educate different year groups on menstrual health. Molly also shares how she been campaigning the Welsh government to improve menstrual health education in schools across Wales.



Inspired by the work of Amika George campaigning for free periods in England, we talked about how Molly started a campaign asking menstrual product companies to remove the plastic in their products.



Molly talks about the change in her periods after she switched to plastic free products from brands like Time of The Month and Hey Girls. She says that her allergic reactions stopped and her period pain drastically reduced.



Molly says everyone should know that periods are normal and that no matter how much we try to ignore them, they are always going to be there, so the best thing that we can do is accept them and learn to love them. I completely agree!
