    What is free bleeding? We unpack the latest trend of period pride and why so many women are feeling called to do it.

    Plus, are you a soft troll? Odds are you might be. We tell you why.

    And, Holly, Mia and Clare wrap up their best and worst of the week, which includes sitting-down shoes, burnout and a case of the missing rug.
