Menstrupedia Comic : The Friendly Guide To Periods For Girls (English) Paperback – 1 January 2015

It s a relief. I was wondering how to discuss about menstruation withy 10 years old to make her prepare and this book give me a relief of that thought. It is written in very easy language and age appropriate way. It just not only discuss biological part of menstruation but also about psychological and social area also. It busted many myths also. Discussion related to hygiene and nutrition was done in great way. I will surely recommend it to all parents not only as guide to menstruation but also as a initial book of sex education ( which is extremely important).Just a little suggestion to authors please translate it in other Indian languages also so that it becomes accessible to all kids and there parents.

As someone who values education and empowerment, I was thrilled to come across Menstrupedia Comic. I gifted it to my younger sister, and she loved it so much that she insisted me to read and kept sharing all that she learnt from the book!I as an adult too found the comic format more engaging as it makes the topic of menstruation easy to understand. The illustrations are bright and colorful, adding a fun element to the learning experience. The characters of the comic are very real and relatable which helped my sister feel more confident and informed about her own body.One of the things I personally appreciate is how it addresses the societal stigmas surrounding menstruation and breaks them down with a positive and inclusive approach. It promotes menstrual hygiene, provides valuable information about menstrual health, and also promotes body positivity and self-care. It promotes acceptance and respect for all individuals experiencing menstruation, which is crucial in today's world.I highly recommend the Menstrupedia Comic as a thoughtful and empowering gift for EVERY YOUNG GIRL! It's a fantastic resource to learn about periods and growing up! Kudos to the creators for addressing such an important topic with sensitivity and positivity! 🙌Overall, I am thrilled with the Menstrupedia Comic, and my sister is too! Thank you, Menstrupedia, for creating this incredible comic! ❤️

This book called "Menstrupedia" isn't your typical snooze-fest biology textbook. It's actually pretty cool, and I'm not just saying that because i got this for my sister who made me read it.First off, it's like a comic book, with funny characters and pictures that make things way less awkward. It explains all the stuff about the female body and, you know, that monthly visitor, in a chill way that even a clueless dude like me could understand. It even cleared up some myths I had (no, girls don't turn into grumpy monsters every month!).What I liked most was that it answered all the questions I never dared to ask. Like, why do cramps happen? And most importantly, how can I be a good brother when my sis is on her period? (Spoiler alert: chocolate and offering to help with chores go a long way!)Seriously, this book is a lifesaver. It helped me understand what my sis is going through and made me realize that periods are a normal, healthy part of life. No more mystery, no more weirdness, just knowledge. Thanks, Menstrupedia! P.S. If you're a guy reading this, trust me, do your sis a favor and check this book out. You won't regret it. And hey, maybe you'll even learn something that comes in handy

Pros: Excellent idea of a book - a much needed book for young girls and an exceptional way of presenting the key concepts, by a lady doc's words, no less. An ideal gift for young girls.An additional plus is that in spite of a sponsor of 'plastic sanitary pads' like Whisper/J&J (it's oh so 'non-green & non-eco-friendly' you see), the book does mention alternate eco-friendly options like commercially available cloth/flannel pads & even the DIY, made at home options i.e. repurposed domestic cloth, as is still used most commonly even today in Indian villages. Appreciate Menstrupedia's stretching so far.Suggestion: Wish you had gone a step further and got a more Green & Eco-friendly sponsor like 'eco femme' instead - the book would then may also have helped solve the 'plastic disposal nightmare' that India will soon face in drastic proportions once all our villages also move to 'plastic pads', cheaply mass produced with chemical bleach et al!Cons: Just one page of euphemistic education on 'how babies are produced', as you put it, is probably not good enough - any young girl who reads this book will come up with a lot of questions for sure, on that one page.Suggestion: Probably it's not entirely in the scope of this book but a better job can be done on an at least a euphemistic explanation of human reproductive system basics. Or probably you could follow up with books on Reproductive system & health, and probably a bit around a euphemistic sex education too, next. We want young ladies not only to have a healthy period but also be aware of reproductive & social aspects, including the risks they face daily, what with the maniacs roaming today’s streets & people pushing for less parental controls & more 'free lives' - at least let them know the risks that lies ahead.Again, price could have been lesser - currently priced at almost 10 times of what Indian graphic/comic books are priced at. Even if one considers the very high quality of the illustrations and script, this could come for less than 200rs. & with a sponsor like Whisper/J&J, with many of their Ads appearing as inserts and more importantly their brand finding mention in many pages of the book, you can really give the book at a very subsidized price.Suggestion: Pl bring it down to affordable range so that the target customers are not just the tax paying / top 3% of India, but includes the broader middle class young girls too.
