Dads Do Pads: Menstrual Cycle Edition

Dads Do Pads: Menstrual Cycle Edition

Join us for a relaxed, informative session designed especially for dads, carers, and any men curious to learn more about the menstrual cycle and how it affects those who have periods, especially our young people.

What We’ll Cover:

We’ll walk through the four key stages of the menstrual cycle and what they mean in real life:

• Menstruation – what’s actually happening and why it matters
• Pre-ovulation – the rise in energy and how it shows up
• Ovulation – confidence, clarity, and the hormonal peak
• Premenstrual feelings – the emotional dip and how to respond

This isn’t a biology lesson—it’s a conversation. We’ll explore how each phase can influence energy levels, confidence, and emotional state, helping you better understand what someone might be going through and how to offer meaningful support.

Why It Matters:

Whether you're raising a daughter, mentoring young people, or simply want to be a more informed ally, this session helps you connect the dots between cycle stages and everyday experiences. It’s about context, compassion, and confidence.

Please Note: We’ve created this men-only environment because some participants may feel more able to ask questions and share openly amongst peers who share similar experiences. If you do not identify as a man, please do not register for this event. If you want your partner to attend, please encourage them to complete their own registration. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.

Chatham House rules apply—what’s shared in the session stays confidential. To help our facilitator spot questions, it’s helpful if you keep your camera on, but you’re welcome to remove your name from the screen if it makes you more comfortable.
