MY PROJECT.
Project | 01
Project | 01 Mentor
Having my mentor helped me gather data to really start my website. It's important to gather your information together first before starting a website like the one I created.
My mentor is an LPN for a women's care facility. Throughout her nursing career she told me that she has came across many patients with feminine complications and explained how important hygiene is for not only a female, but also for a male. Our body's work hard to fight against & protect us from any harm.

Project | 02 The Problem.
Across the world, menstruation hygiene and feminine care is a topic that doesn't get the attention it deserves. ¨...as 76% of students feel they know more about the biology of frogs than they do about the biology of the female body, and it also found many students feel ashamed when they are menstruating.¨ This quote shows how more than half of students are educated properly. This is around the time when females begin to start their menstruation, if they are uneducated, how are they able to properly take care of themselves and their body. Another reason could be because of the environment or even religion.

Project | 03 More information & A Solution.
Not only is menstruation a big topic also, but birth control, sex, tampons, hygiene, etc. No wonder menstruation is so taboo, people are afraid to talk about the body! Not having proper education about the menstrual cycle affects our relationship with our bodies, others, and periods in general. How? We start to associate periods with being dirty, smelly, embarrassing, and some suffer from menstrual pain in silence because they don’t know who to talk to or what to do about it. If more schools and parents had open, clear conversations about how the reproductive system works, society wouldn’t be sexualizing vaginas, don’t you think?
With my project I want to create a site that is open and safe to the public to help educate and inform not only females but also males of how a female's body works and how we can give the best care possible. This is a safe place to gain knowledge, information, and learn about hygiene and menstruation.
