Vintage Stayfree Maxi Pad Box
Just to remind you that it could be worse, there's this Vintage Stayfree Maxi Pad Box ($10, etsy.com). Once upon a time, maxi pads were the size of diapers and women waddled around with the crinkly pillows between their legs all day. And there's more vintage period fun where that came from!

Here's a cute Menstruation Print ($15, etsy.com), maybe for teenagers although I never in a million years would have put up on my wall when I was a teen. Is it me, or does it make things worse to imagine those creatures partying inside of your uterus?
Period Calendar Stickers
Another vintage gem, Period Calendar Stickers ($3 for pack of 30, etsy.com) to post on your paper calendar. Assuming you still use those and not an app. You know there's loads of period-tracking apps out there, right? But those aren't as fun as these cute stickers!
