Many of us have had the moment — whether of fear, excitement, frustration, overwhelmedness, or all of the above — when we got our first periods. Along with it came instruction from various parties, whether parental figures or in advertising and media, about what we’re supposed to do about it (and how we’re supposed to feel about it).

In our final trivia quiz from our Trivial Cahoots series, let’s test our knowledge about the things we bleed into (and why) — and maybe learn some things along the way! Tell me your answers in the comments, and if you’re comfortable and its relevant to you, share how you deal with your period today in 2018!
