From Whispered Questions to Confident Conversations
School : SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 4
Date : 13 & 17 March 2026
On 13 and 17 March 2026, the Menses Health Organisation conducted a Positive Period Classroom for 13-year-old female students at SMK Bandar Utama Damansara 4. The workshop created a warm and comfortable space where students could openly learn about periods, ask questions, and better understand their bodies without feeling shy or embarrassed.
Throughout the session, students explored important topics on period health, hygiene, and nutrition through fun and relatable sharing by nutritionists, Ms Syafiqah and Ms Safiah and Dietitian, Ms Hui Ying. From understanding cramps and mood changes to learning simple hygiene habits and nutrition tips, the session helped students see periods in a more positive and confident way.
The atmosphere became even more lively during the quizzes, activities, and menstrual product demonstrations. Students had the opportunity to explore different products including sanitary pads, tampons, menstrual cups, and cloth pads while learning how each product can be used comfortably and safely.
The workshop ended with an open Q&A session where students confidently asked questions and shared their thoughts in a safe and supportive environment. By the end of the workshop, many students left feeling more informed, reassured, and confident in managing their period health.
We would also like to express its sincere appreciation to PopoMama for their continuous support in making this educational programme more meaningful and impactful for the students. Together, let’s open the coversation about period, let’s talk period!
