Women of Mauritius, what are some beliefs about periods that you find weird or should stop existing?
Heard a bit about one should not cook achard or some types of traditional rice sweets during periods. Just a while, also heard that one should not change at someone else's place as a friend was labeled "ti-l'esprit" by a granny, whom she overheard saying. That granny also asked her if at her age she didn't know that she shouldn't do that at another person's place, which of course she didn't know. Also advising future generations better not change at someone else's place, to avoid any weird and unnecessary confrontations,🙄 when it shouldn't be.
The last one was just traumatizing to hear. So what are some other beliefs around periods in Mauritius?
