Well, this is something that I must admit I never really thought of. Glad they're addressing it openly and honestly at the Women's Euros.
Quote:
The English Football Association (FA) has released a statement acknowledging that players "will be taken into consideration" for future kit designs after concerns from England's squad about wearing white while on their period.
Speaking after England's win, Bayern Munich's Georgia Stanway added: "It's difficult, because we associate England with white. The home kit is unbelievable, it looks really nice. I think that's something that we can speak about as a full squad, as a group of girls."
With women's football being accepted more and more into the mainstream, the game -- just like the wider body of women's sports -- has been slowly breaking down the last remaining taboo: menstruation.
She added: "I think you'll be hard pressed to find any females who haven't had an experience when they've felt the dread when it's your time of the month and you've got to go play in white shorts knowing that you don't feel as comfortable in your own skin at that time.
"Ultimately when you've got to go out there and perform it can affect the performance because you become extremely self-conscious."
