Red Moon Gang: An Inclusive Guide to Periods

Meet Red Moon Gang, a paperback that turns the often-talked-about topic of menstruation into a confident, inclusive conversation you can actually enjoy. At 200 pages, this unapologetic guide blends science, culture, and real-life experience into a readable, humorous resource that makes periods less mysterious and more manageable. Boldly illustrated by Mary Purdie, the book brings complex ideas to life with visuals that keep you engaged from page to page.

What makes this guide stand out

Red Moon Gang isn’t a dry textbook. It’s a gender-neutral, stigma-smashing companion that speaks to anyone who ever dealt with a period. The authors—Tara Costello, drawing on over a decade of menstrual writing and research—pull together the latest findings on hormonal fluctuations, why PMS hits hard, and how the body changes across the cycle. This is information you can apply in real life, not just facts to memorize.

Inside the pages

• Biology meets everyday life: A clear journey through the menstrual cycle, what hormones are doing, and how those shifts show up as energy, mood, and comfort.
• Product clarity with real pros and cons: An honest look at the spectrum of menstrual products—pads, tampons, cups, period underwear—and how to choose what fits your body, flow, and lifestyle.
• Conditions demystified: Clear discussions of endometriosis, PCOS, and other challenges, plus practical pointers for navigating symptoms and seeking care.
• Personal perspectives: Costello shares her own journey—how menstruation has shaped her relationship with her body and her place in the world—so readers know they’re not alone.
• Period toolkit and resources: A curated list of products, retailers, tips to ease menstruation, and additional education to keep learning beyond the book.
