 So I receive this message from a young man who says, I want to gift a menstrual heating pad and massager to my best friend. I don't know either if it will be useful to her or not. Moreover, I want to know that if I buy it, will it have any negative impact on it? You know, of all the questions I've ever received around misinformation on periods, this has to be the sweetest. Because if you are going to be misinformed about something, this is the way to deal with it, with love, with caring and with a genuine desire to understand. But in answer to your question, number one, yes, please do buy your friend a heating pad and a massager for her period pain. She will absolutely love you for it. And two, if you as a man touch it, will it have a negative impact on it? Absolutely not. You know, in spite of all the strange theories that you might have heard around periods about what you can't touch and what might happen if you touch it, there is nothing magical or mystical about periods. Periods are the most straightforward biological phenomenon that most women will go through during their lifetime. The only problem is that they are so miserably uncomfortable and painful that frankly anyone who's prepared to offer us comfort at that point, we love that person for it. And if a man touches anything to do with periods, it has no impact on anything. So go ahead and buy your friend whatever she needs. I know she will appreciate it and I hope that everyone out there will also learn from you.
