Evana® Menstrual Cycle Survey

In the Autumn of 2024, Evana® undertook a survey of 228 people to gauge the general public’s understanding of the menstrual cycle.

Here, we share some of our most illuminating results, pointing to a lack of understanding across ages and genders and a desire for greater knowledge.
