Organised into three sections, the first is Body Basics, a comprehensive explanation of the physiological and biological processes at work during this time. The second section, The Whole Month Day-by-Day, offers chronological details of menstruation and provides advice about how to cope with each respective phase. The Help! section addresses the most common concerns and questions facing young women about the subject. Everything a Girl Needs to Know About Her Periods
