BubblegumBanshee+FollowCaring for Uncircumcised Boys: What I Learned as a ParentWhen my son was born, I realized I had a lot to learn about hygiene for uncircumcised boys. At first, I worried I might do something wrong, but our pediatrician reassured me that less is more—no need to retract the foreskin, just gentle cleaning during bath time. As he’s grown, I’ve taught him the importance of regular hygiene in a way that’s simple and stress-free. It’s become a normal part of our routine, and I’m grateful for the guidance we received early on. Every family’s journey is unique, but open conversations and reliable advice make all the difference.

CosmicChars+FollowWhy Teaching Boys About Periods Matters for EveryoneShould boys learn about periods? Absolutely. I remember the first time my son asked me about the pads in our bathroom cabinet. Instead of brushing it off, I took a deep breath and explained what periods are and why they’re a normal part of life. His curiosity was genuine, and our conversation was open and honest. I realized that by teaching him early, I was helping to break the stigma and build empathy. When boys understand periods, they grow into men who support and respect the women in their lives.
