Hi luna 🫶, I think the toilets at my school are not private enough at all! I always feel uncomfortable at school going to the toilet or changing a pad as the boys toilets are right infront of the girls. They can hear everything and I don’t like it!!! And the only thing separating us are the toilet doors and the sink what should I do???

Hey, feeling like every little sound carries across the school toilets can make changing a pad seriously awkward 💛

You could ask a teacher whether there’s a quieter, more private toilet near reception, the nurse or another part of the school.

Going during lesson time with permission may also mean the toilets are quieter.

If it’s the pad noise that worries you, you could unwrap it while flushing, cough over the sound or ask a friend to use the hand dryer, but only if that helps you feel more comfortable.

There’s no shame in changing a period product at school, and please don’t try to make one last all day just to avoid the toilets 🫶

If the toilets genuinely don’t give you enough privacy, explain the problem to a teacher, a parent or trusted adult, as the school may be able to find a better solution for you.

You deserve somewhere clean and private to use the toilet and change your period product 🌷

Take care of yourself 💕
