Flex Mami’s period manifesto
Flex Mami has been yapping into the internet for years now. It’s what I personally know and love her for, but right now Flex is yapping with a serious agenda. She’s on a mission to break down period taboos so that everyone else feels more comfortable, confident and in control when it comes to menstruation.
Obviously, that chat always needs to start at the beginning. And by the beginning, I mean, the very first period.
Which is where we discovered that Flex getting her period before so many of her friends was the best launch pad for her destined role as the philosopher. She was now the wise one with experience in an area where she could educate and empower her mates. The narrative arc from first cycle to critical thinker had begun.
Flex has now reached full manifesto mode, ready to get more and more conversations about periods flowing. To do so, she’s launched a range of Reflex conversation cards called ‘U by Kotex x Flex Mami Period Talk Reflex Cards’ which kickstart genuinely helpful chats about menstration, stigma and social expectations. These cards are actually available for free on shopflexmami.com until they are sold out – which will be very soon, so hop on over now to get your very own pack.
And because I simply can’t leave you without this message, here is Flex Mami’s period manifesto in full.
