Emojis are a universal language. A language that lets you express without words in a largely digital world. On this Menstruation Hygiene Day, we want to ask for an emoji that represents periods/menses/chums/monthly visitor/menstruation.

And no, a red drop does not represent the same. Instead of making the communication about periods a tad bit easier, it only makes it more awkward.

So, all that we are asking for is an emoji that represents periods in as straightforward a way as possible without making conversations more awkward. In a world where we have an emoji for things like a brush, razor, bathtub, toilet roll, tap, and shower, an emoji for a sanitary napkin seems to be a fair ask.
