Lilly Singh opens up about the conflicting pressures of growing up in a Punjabi household, detailing how she was shamed for being "loud" and labeled a "Tomboy," only to later be forced to act like a lady. She shares the embarrassment and fear caused by her mother's confusing introduction to periods, which was rooted in cultural taboos like the desi mindset fear that tampons might break the hymen. Highlighting the ongoing global issue of period hygiene, Lilly discusses her charity Unicorn Island and touches upon the importance of sexual health and addressing taboos, including self-pleasure, noting the restrictive approach to basic education in places like North America.
In association with our Period Hygiene Partner SOFY this episode is not just about breaking myths but making space for truth, humour, and healing.

This and all the shows in this series are so important for everyone.
I too was a Tom boy...caused me so many problems....I can relate to everything you said
You are so naturally funny
It's because of contraction of uterus wall to remove the layer of endothlium.
In normal language it's because of blood to come out from uterus.
