Last week we published the findings of our international period survey. With the help of our international community (190 countries and counting!), we discovered over 5,000 euphemisms for the word "period." And a ton of interesting stats about education and cultural norms around menstruation.

Many of you reached out and asked if we could share more of the euphemisms we found. Here they are (see translations below):
