Reply to comment by [deleted] in CVS cuts cost of menstrual products in 12 states with "tampon tax" by AmethystOrator

Some folks have periods lasting 2 days. Other folks have periods lasting 7+ days. Some folks have irregular bleeding in the middle of cycles.

Some people have a cycle every 22 days, some only a few times a year.

It's not so straightforward :)

Yep. I (M52) remember I was hearing about the once a month period thing growing up.

And then as I started dating and living with people it always struck me as weird that it seemed like far more often than once a month, until I realized that really it's once every 3 weeks because, it lasts for a week.

That made me more sympathetic.
