Toxic Sock Syndrome

Welcome back! On Todays episode of PADS AND TAMPS Ami talks about Period studies done around the world, but also would like to raise awareness about period poverty and the dangers that menstruation can bring.

Jay (apparently) took Anatomy

On this episode of PADS AND TAMPS, showing in black and white, Jay asks Ami questions about period culture and anatomy. But most importantly Jay shows off his anatomy knowledge, and how the understanding of the female body is so misunderstood.

ENDOMORPHOSIS

On our first episode Jay and Ami talk about the realities behind menstruation but especially what reproductive health is. The both of them discuss in detail endometriosis, PCOS, birth control and about period poverty, and also the harsh reality behind reproductive health.
