it sounds faintly... chinese or something. polite. thats what i'm thinking. i wonder if it might be more standard to print things on them like that in china or wherever? then the business influence...

if you are worrying about being pregnant... period can be a welcome relief.

if you get bloating and cramps (as i do) prior where they alleviate once the bleeding starts... then the bleeding can be a welcome relief.

there are some people... who identify their femininity quite strongly with their period. hard to believe, perhaps, but there are some women who take the attitude that their bleeding is a wonderful symbol of their feminity and fertility.

if you are getting near menopause periods might be quite welcome (if not celebrated) too...

perhaps.
