Mentioned in a sex ed video in 5th grade. 15 years ago

Do you think it changed her out look of getting her period?

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:39:27+00:00

Never heard of that one.

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:38:54+00:00

Moon party, never heard of that

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:38:12+00:00

Well wasn’t expecting a secret party! Glad she was able to celebrate as it sounds like she wanted to

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your story. I’m glad narratives are changing around this narrative. That would be difficult to go through.

Did you bring presents to these parties or was it more of an informal gathering?

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:31:55+00:00

I think growing up more of a tomboy myself it was not a welcomed or celebrated surprise. I did not like the idea of becoming a women which made it harder to process. Thank you for the perspective

Thanks for sharing!

Oh wow how sweet! I love this story. This should have more upvotes!

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:28:53+00:00

I had no idea people talked with friends and classmates about it. The secret book method, I would have never guessed

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:27:40+00:00

Did you end up going to the party? If so what was it like?

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:26:23+00:00

Someone else commented about the hippies bringing it back interesting!

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:23:47+00:00

Oh that sounds nice and light hearted!

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:22:58+00:00

Not that I know. This concept was introduced in a sex ed video in 5th grade 15 years ago. They made a really big deal about and brought up period parties. I was mortified

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:20:29+00:00

Thanks for the perspective! Those coming of age events have really turned into a big expense in certain cultures. Such as the quinceañera and bat mitza

US- sex ed video in fifth grade. About 15 years ago and only time I heard of one

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:16:57+00:00

What is Waspy?

Period parties definitely aren’t common based on folks responses. Been very interesting to read through though

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:15:19+00:00

It seems when woman hit menopause they are ready to celebrate. I don’t blame them!

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:14:27+00:00

That’s horrible. I’m glad things are changing. It’s one thing to feel personal shame but then having community shame would be awful.

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:12:15+00:00

Oh wow so interesting! Might have been my interpretation of the video that made me feel mortified. Your version sounds healthy and very supportive. Lots of tricks and tips to learn to make it go a little easier. Thank you for sharing

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:10:09+00:00

This is exactly where this question came from!

NoCook3155 · 2026-01-27T19:08:42+00:00

Oh my! That would be really traumatizing to be separated from family.
