1. Judy Blume did this 50 years ago. It’s sad that we still can’t normalize this topic that half of the world has to deal with.

2. I would pay a million dollars for Jessica Biel’s used tampon

3. And the republicans will ban it.

4. I don’t think the world needs any health-related media created by an [anti-vaxxer](https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-jessica-biel-vaccination-california-20190613-story.html).

5. Love this. As a mom of two girls, I’m into it.

6. Im sure the conservatives will be very normal about this

7. Maybe she could write a book about the importance of getting childhood vaccines….

8. this is why we need sex ed early

9. Unironically based

10. I’m pretty sure Pearl Jam did that when they released “Even Flow”, all the way back in 1991, Jessica!

11. This is my favorite:

12. Under the pseudonym “Aunt Flow”

13. Wait, as a mom with girls who has been seeking ways to communicate this to them in an approachable way — I love this so much?! And I’m not even a fan of Jessica Biel.

14. I’ve never been a fan of her anti vaxx stuff but I do like this. We need to normalize this. When I worked in schools I knew girls at 7, 8, 9 with periods. We need to designators and prepare children. 

15. Id buy that for a dollar, meh meh meh meh

16. Well … her husband’s music is still in the dumps. Good move to keep themselves relevant.

17. It’s so strange that a normal biological process that many of us have to deal with as a matter of hygiene as much as anything else is something people consider verboten.

18. Yeah, but she’s also anti-vaccination

19. *Ron DeSantis has entered the chat*

20. Is “periods” in Disney font? Awesome!

21. Is it a real taboo discussion or Hollywood elites being outside the loop ?

22. Incoming republicans proving they don’t understand women science and wanting to control it.

23. There’s already at least a dozen good approachable books for kids about menstruation. At least. Why we would also need one from Jessica Biel specifically is a mystery to me.

24. It will be banned I’m sure. God forbid a young girl understands her body.

25. I got my 9YO “The Period Book” and it’s been amazing. Good for Jessica Biel, I guess, but why not just promote the quality material that is already out there?

26. I lost all respect for her when she refused to name her first child Batmo…

    I’ll show myself out.

27. I wonder if the book will include how to build makeshift tampons out of tent scraps like girls in Gaza are having to do. Or does the “discussion” only include girls that Jessica sees as human?

28. It is one of the most important punctuations
