Okay, so let’s get this out of the way…
Yes, free bleeding is when women don’t use pads, tampons, menstrual cups, or anything to stop the flow of blood during menstruation.
Sometimes it’s done to bring awareness to issues like taxation on tampons and pads, sometimes it’s due to allergies or other health issues and sometimes it’s just because people want to do it in the privacy of their own home.
So here’s the question: if society didn’t have such a period taboo, would more women free bleed?
