Description
The #1 best-selling, award-winning guide to getting your period for the first time, from 'Dolly Doctor' Dr Melissa Kang and journalist Yumi Stynes (Ladies, We Need to Talk).

With case studies, first-person accounts and questions from real teens (and answers from real experts – us!), Welcome to Your Period has all the info you need to manage your period like a boss.

View allAbout the Author
Dr Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes are the best-selling, award-winning authors of four books together: Welcome to Your Period, Welcome to Your Boobs, Welcome to Consent and Welcome to Sex.
Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she’s also a practising medical doctor for marginalised young people and has academic roles at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney. She is fifth-generation Malaysian-Chinese Anglo-Australian, which makes specialising in adolescent sexuality and sexual health all the more interesting. She continues to speak about these topics in the mainstream media.
Yumi Stynes is a second-gen Japanese-Australian TV and radio presenter who, like a lot of us, had to ‘unlearn’ period shame. She’s currently the host of Ladies, We Need to Talk, an award-winning podcast that explores all the trickiest topics and taboos about women’s health, including periods, discharge, difficult motherhood, and whether or not your vagina is weird.
