But if you want the truth wrapped in a warm sweater and paired with meaningful conversation, Luma is your girl.
Each of these four characters brings a different energy, voice, and need, just like the phases of your cycle.Some days, you might feel like energetic Folu. Other days, like reflective Maeve. Or perhaps you're feeling as honest as Luma or as confident as Oviya.At Period Reality, we say, the only thing that’s true is what is true for you.
