According to an international study on menstruation, there are at least 5,000 different euphemisms and slang words for ‘period’ around the world.

The survey into how comfortable people are talking about periods was carried out by Clue in association with The International Women’s Health Coalition.

It canvassed opinion from 90,000 people across 190 different countries, and identified around 5,000 different terms for being on the blob.

The survey also investigated how much information girls were given at school about periods in different countries.

Ninety per cent of respondents in the UK said they felt they had received enough information before starting their period, vs. only 25 per cent in… Read the full story

If you’ve got minimal money to spend on a night away, you can’t expect to stay in a five star hotel. 

But you’d probably expect at least some sort of essentials, right? A bathroom, a door… some walls, perhaps.

But apparently, these don’t seem to be necessities. Not going by this Airbnb listing, anyway.

The ‘room’ which has been advertised at just £8 per night, is located in Peckham.

Alexandra Andresen is 19-year-old professional dressage competitor from Norway. 

But most recently, she’s been known to be the world’s youngest billionaire, according to Forbes 2016 World’s Rich List, in which she placed 1,475th, alongside her 20-year-old sister.

But Alexandra did not make her billions riding horses. She’s actually heiress to her father’s huge fortune, which was built within the tobacco market.

Her father, Johan F. Andresen, treated his daughters to 80 per cent of his shares in his investment firm, Ferd Holdings, after the company was sold for $500 million (more than £350 million) in 2005, and the money was invested into property and hedge funds.

Despite what you might think, this Rubbish Seaside postcard series is actually one man’s love letter to the Great British seaside.

Described as an ode ‘to the thin drizzle of disappointment that is British coast,’ the postcards are a slightly more honest look at the average British staycation than you might get from the local tourist board.

Brutal, but brilliant, they are the work of 36-year-old designer Jack Hurley, who was born and raised, by his own admission ‘in a number of rubbish seaside towns on the south coast’.

He now lives in Leeds but his childhood memories of dank, cold days by the… Read the full story

Fear swimming when facing the dreaded time of the month? Well, fear no more. 

Because one company have created a ‘period-proof’ swimsuit, to ensure you can continue smashing out those lengths with ease.

PantyProp have created bottoms that include a section for those who wear sanitary pads. The cut-out section ensures the pad does not move around, while also enabling you to wear it discretely by tucking the sanitary pad under the vulva therefore avoided those feelings of self-consciousness.

For those who choose to use tampons or menstrual cups, the bottoms can still be of help and extra security as they have absorbent lining to help prevent any visible stains or leaks.

They are currently available in two colours – black (£25) or a fluorescent floral theme (£26.50).

Forget Eminem, Jay-Z, Stormzy. 

Norma Clarke, the 78-year-old grandmother of five, could have them all for breakfast.

After suffering with a severe nosebleed at her home in Castle Vale, Birmingham, Norma was whisked away in an ambulance to A&E, with her son keeping her company.

But instead of panicking or getting upset, Norma kept herself busy while in the ambulance by rapping to Jordan, who caught it all on camera.

Since uploading the video – which of course was LOVED – Norma has received thousands of views.

Cat Cafe Manchester, is a place where customers can play and interact with cats while drinking a cup of coffee.

Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

Of course, as every cat-lover would expect, there is an entrance fee but it does mean you literally get unlimited time with the cats as well as unlimited drinks. So for those who love cats but aren’t able to home one, it’s pretty perfect.

But do you know what’s even more perfect? The job they’re offering.

Sisters Ellie and Sarah Close, who run the cafe, are currently searching for cat nannies to look after the ‘general well-being of the Manchester Cat family’ alongside encouraging customer interaction… Read the full story

Christopher Cline, a photographer from Virginia, was left feeling pretty homesick when he moved over to Minnesota. 

Noticing how sad he seemed, his girlfriend decided to treat him to a present – a dog, called Juji.

At first, it wasn’t the best present Christopher could’ve received, as he wasn’t especially fond of dogs. But, the adorable Goldendoodle completely won him over Juji soon ended up his best four-legged friend, before becoming his biggest inspiration.

Chris began creating hilarious Photoshop manipulations, featuring a giant version of Juji, accompanying Chris on a variety of adventures.

Making his photo series incredibly fun and lighthearted, he aims for his project to have a ‘kids book’ sort of vibe. And we totally think it does.

Here he is riding his giant Goldendoodle… as you do

The emotional scars caused by domestic abuse and self harm can be hard to heal.

But one man is doing his best to help people erase the physical reminders, by offering his tattoo skills free of charge.

Since October, Ohio tattoo artist Brian Finn has been spending one day a week inking over people’s scars at his studio Infinite Art in Toledo.

He does it, he says, because he wants to empower people and because it’s the right thing to do.

If you’re not ready to do a cry then we suggest you don’t scroll down any further. 

Because this video really will make you feel a whole collection of feels.

In an emotional video posted by Love What Matters, one mother captured the precious moment her little boy was surprised by his dad, who had just returned from deployment.

As he stands there awkwardly, his mum asks him: ‘If you could think of one surprise in the whole world, what would it be?’ And his hopes are answered as his dad walks through the door, picks him up and hugs him tightly.

Well, now another woman has received a somewhat odd substitution in her online shopping.

A man has been exposed as a cheat by his wife after he turned up at her best friend’s house hoping to ‘tear a piece of a**’ off her.

Rather than the friend opening the door to the guy looking to get his end away, his wife opened it, while her best friend filmed his reaction.

In what then unfolds as a pretty sad tale of the state of their marriage, he says he ‘doesn’t give a f***’ that she’s caught him, because it will ‘get s*** rolling’.

The reality, at times, can leave a lot to be desired.

Here’s 11 things you only know if you’ve tried to stay in a hotel with a baby.

If there’s one way to go out with a bang, this man’s done it. 

By casually insulting most of the office without actually letting on who his harsh words were aimed at and making sure nobody contacts him again unless it’s to offer him money, this man is quite possibly most cold-hearted retired soul ever.

Or the funniest, we can’t decide.

In a picture posted to Imgur, the man in question’s son showed off the email to celebrate his dad’s retirement.

A lesbian couple is selling a threesome with themselves to the highest bidder in order to fund their holiday. 

Well, sort of. The two women, Chelsea Cameron and Grace Whitaker are selling dinner and a date to the highest bidder in an attempt to fund a volunteering trip to Nepal.

The dinner date which, they stipulate, will not be sexual, will be paid for by the winner too, meaning you’re really just paying for their company, which we are sure is top notch.

Mum-of-one Davina Bywater has been clinically obese since she was just 10 years old.

37-year-old Davina, who was a self-confessed ‘secret eater’, weighed 19 stone (121kg) and wore a size 24 dress.

‘Being overweight was a part of my identity from a very early time in my life,’ she says.

‘I used to go to a childminder who baked lots of cakes. Then I’d go home with my sister and eat sandwiches before our parents even got home from work and made the tea,’ she said.

If you’re a major Benedict Cumberbatch fan (and let’s face it, who isn’t?) then you’ll be happy to know you can now eat his face. 

One woman has taken it upon herself to make many people’s dreams come true – by turning the much-loved actor into a chocolate bunny.

The 400g ‘Cumberbunny’ features the Sherlock Holmes actor’s handsome face grafted eerily on to a rabbit torso, complete with two huge bunny ears.

The bunnies are available in both milk and dark chocolate, and they come gilded with an edible metallic dust.

If we didn’t know it tasted so damn delicious it’d almost be a tad scary.
