A Dutch feminist practices free bleeding

Free bleeding is the practice of menstruating without blocking or collecting the period flow. In recent years it has become a subject of public debate.[1]

History

The movement started in the 1970s as a reaction to toxic shock syndrome, a rare and sometimes fatal condition that can be caused when bacteria grow in tampons worn to absorb menstrual bleeding.[2] It regained popularity in 2014 as a result of a prank originating on the internet site 4chan.[3]Kiran Gandhi ran in the London Marathon while free bleeding as a symbolic act to combat menstrual stigma around the world.[4] The movement focuses on women's and gender minorities' own comfort.[5]

Products

The experience of menstruating into period underwear has been compared to free bleeding.[6][7]

Prevalance

A spanish study found "A small but compelling number of women and PWM (3.7%)" practice free bleeding, "mainly practiced at home and on low-bleeding days".[8]
