Sometimes when you are on your period you just want to feel understood. One tool that will help you out with exactly that is period memes that depict what you feel.
There are tons of very relatable memes about menstruating and all of what this bodily process, that so many of us are dealing with on a monthly basis, entails. At Ruby Cup, we’ve had a few good laughs looking through all of the period memes out there, so we have decided that it’s time to lighten up and share the ones we enjoyed the most right here for our community to also enjoy.
It is said that a picture says more than a thousand words, and this is probably why memes are sometimes capable of expressing what you have a hard time finding the exact words for. Feel free to take inspiration and send over a meme to someone with any type of menstrual struggle or period-related mood swing to whom you just wanna say “I hear you”.
You know that kind of “I hear you” that you see in the eyes of mom Ming as she drives Mei-Mei to school and informs her “Here’s your lunch. I packed extra snacks” in Disney Pixar's 2022 movie Turning Red.

Period self care is always a good idea, indeed! Anything you can do to pamper yourself, empower yourself and get yourself in a good mood while on your period - go for it - you deserve it. How about slowing down with a great piece of literature from The Bloody Good Reading List? 😉
If you are moody from the hormonal fluctuations you experience on your period, you are not alone.
You just got your period, and you are cramping and feeling less than excellent. Your inner voice is mumbling: “Why now?”, “Why me?”, just “WHY?!” But: Have you ever tried to see things from the perspective of your uterus? It is just as upset as you are, giving you the cramps to share its pain. At least if we should believe the following comic strip revealing how your uterus is going through grief every month:
(We haven’t been able to identify the illustrator behind the comic above. We’ll update this article as soon as we do!)
Even if neither angry nor aggressive as in the comic strip above, your uterus is really not having its best days when you are on your period …
(Of course, we recommend playing the period game with a menstrual cup that you won’t even feel and that is much more environmentally friendly than a disposable pad.)
And speaking of menstrual cups …
Thanks for reading along! Hope you find the selected memes relatable or will share them with someone who will!
