The Bloody Hustle

Through the bloody hustle
we're right there with you

"How come we never see real period blood in any commercials?"

This is the question we asked ourselves when we started project The Bloody Hustle a year ago.

We are a generation of menstruators in which the shame of bleeding is so deeply rooted. The bare notion that periods should be hidden at all costs even our own wellbeing.

At Flow, we believe that everyone who menstruates deserves to be seen and supported on their journey – in exactly the way they need. We do this by sharing, talking, showing, asking questions, developing and inviting dialogue, because we believe that together we can make a difference.

Flow. Through the bloody hustle, we're right there with you.

founder of Flow Intimates

About the production

As a period care company we set out to make our first commercial with real period blood making this the standard for us going forward and we engaged with our community, showing them and their real periods.

Some were bleeding on the day. Others had been collecting their blood in little jars in the freezer to be able to be camera ready. Everyone was invested in bringing true authenticity to the set. 

Just to highlight exactly how important and history making this felt for everyone onboard the mission - we all had real tears streaming down our cheeks. We all felt it. How important this was.

Maria

"I have always found that one of the most important and inspiring forms of protest and advocacy is to put your own body on the line. Understanding and caring for the needs of diverse bodies is something that means a lot to me, so when the opportunity to focus on the period body arose, it felt natural for me to take it."

Josefine

"I have been menstruating for 10 years. The entire 10 years have been filled with great pain, and I have only now been diagnosed with PMS and hormonal imbalance. I am very disappointed and angry with our healthcare system, at how women's period and associated hormonal diseases are not taken seriously, but are simply something we have to deal with in silence."

Sunna

"You should never be ashamed of your period. It is a natural process and a sign that your body is doing well. Having your period should not be a bad thing or something that prevents you from living. If you listen to your body and work with it, it can be a good experience."

Marie

"The atmosphere on the day was so nice, loving and sisterly; I got the feeling of being a small part of something huge. Everyone on set - both those from Flow and the other participants - was so open and spacious, and we had the best day. There was a fantastic buzz and a super loving atmosphere from start to finish."

Johanna

"There was an incredibly nice atmosphere on the actual shooting day. So much wonderful energy from all the other menstruating people, which really rubbed off on me. Again, empowering is a word that stands out strongly!"

Sabine

"Now that I think about it, it's become quite clear that what feels like my greatest vulnerability became a shared strength that day. It was actually very touching."
