the real period project

is closing...

We set up this project in 2016 as we wanted the menstrual cycle to be recognised as a vital body system that is about more than just reproduction, and for everyone to feel safe to talk about and experience menstruation whoever and wherever they are. 

Throughout the past 10 years we have loved doing this work! And are so delighted to see so much progress in this area, and so many new projects starting around the world.

In October 2026 we are closing The Real Period Project CIC and will no longer be available for business. However, we are keeping this website live for a while longer to keep the resources available for anyone who wants them.
