Endometriosis Awareness Enamel Pin, My Uterus is a Bitch

You're buying one variant of three pins made in collaboration with Lara Parker, an accomplished editor/writer, advocate for women everywhere with "girl problems," and women with endometriosis and chronic pain. With each pin sold, we donate a portion of the profits to the Endometriosis Foundation of America.

**************************

Endometriosis is not just a bad period. It’s when the lining of your utertus (endometrium) is on other parts of your body, typically, (but not always), near your reproductive organs. It can lead to excruciating pain that occurs at any time (it’s not always linked to menstruation), long periods, heavy flows, vomiting, painful sex, and infertility,* But it’s crazy misdiagnosed and misunderstood, leading doctors to tell women-in-pain that “they’re just making it up” or “to use lube” or “take more ibuprofen.” Filled with rage? Same girl, same.

Lara Parker spent 7 years in chronic pain, being misdiagnosed or brushed off by doctor after doctor. “Endometriosis is so much more than physical pain. It is emotional pain. It is feeling broken and alone and scared for the future.”

That’s why we’re raising awareness about Endometriosis, which affects 1 in 10 people in the US and over 176 million women worldwide yet still has no cure. $3 from each pin will go to the Endometriosis Foundation of America, an organization that’s working to provide education, fund research, and give women with endometriosis a voice. (During Endometriosis Awareness Month, all of the profits from each pin will go to the Endometriosis Foundation of America)
