MENSTRUAL FLUID IS NOT JUST BLOOD

Menstrual fluid is a mix of tissue, water, mucus + blood.

That’s why it’s thicker than the blood that flows from a cut on the skin.

  • Menstrual fluid often has clumps of tissue mixed in.
  • It can look bright red, dark red, or even dark brown.
  • The brown comes from blood mixing with oxygen––there’s nothing to worry about!
