Is it normal to feel disgusted with my own blood?
Soso answered
Okay, so like, it's totally normal to feel a bit weirded out or even grossed out by period blood sometimes. You're definitely not the only one who feels that way, because it's a new thing your body is doing and it can be a lot to get used to.
Think about it, you're literally bleeding, and it's coming from a private part of your body. That's kinda wild! For a lot of us, we've been taught that blood means something is wrong, so seeing it regularly can be a little confusing for your brain at first. Plus, it's not like the blood you see from a cut on your knee; period blood has other stuff in it, which can make it look and feel different.
Over time, most people get more used to it. Like, it just becomes part of your routine. What helps is knowing what to expect and how to handle it. Using products that make you feel comfortable and secure, like pads or period underwear, can make a big difference. And also just realizing that this is a natural, healthy part of your body working and growing up. It's literally just your body doing its thing, and that's pretty cool when you think about it.
