16-year-old twins Brooke and Breanna Bennett from Alabama will be honored at the White House for their efforts to end period poverty. The sisters successfully advocated for a law that provides free period products to low-income schools in the state. They were named Period Heroes by Always and Walmart and have donated thousands of pads through their organization, Women in Training. The White House ceremony, called Girls Leading Change, will also announce new programs to support young people, including actions to cancel student debt and invest in mental health.

The Benefits of Skipping Periods with Birth Control for Women.

Women are opting to skip their periods entirely by taking hormonal birth control continuously, which can be done indefinitely for many people. Skipping periods can reduce symptoms such as cramps, headaches, and heavy bleeding, and can also lower the risk of ovarian cancer. It can also save money on menstrual products and reduce the environmental impact of disposable products. However, some people may experience breakthrough bleeding and may need to take a week off hormonal birth control to shed any remaining lining.
