(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yasushi Honma), conducted a survey on women in their 20s and 50s regarding their views on menstruation. The results of this survey revealed differences in the physiological perspectives of women in their 20s and women in their 50s when they experience menarche. In recent years, with the acceleration of women’s advancement in society, attitudes toward menstruation have been changing year by year. This time, we conducted a survey focusing on the period of menarche, which is a major milestone for women. The premise is that the way a woman perceives menarche is largely influenced by the era and environment in which she was raised. In the 1980s, when women in their 50s reached menarche, there was still a strong sense of the idea that menstruation was something that should be hidden, and it was difficult to obtain sufficient information about menstruation. On the other hand, women currently in their 20s reached their first period in the late 2000s to early 2010s, and are a generation that has had better access to information and a certain level of understanding at home and at school. These differences in background may cause differences not only in the depth of knowledge about menstruation, but also in how they feel anxiety and how they communicate with those around them. Therefore, this time,
“TSUKIOBI-” conducted a fact-finding survey on “women’s
physiological views during menarche” targeting women in their 20s and 50s. ＜Study Summary＞ ・For both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, most people reached menarche at the age of 12 ・For women in their 20s, the most common source of information when they learned about menstruation for the first time was their mother or family, while for women in their 50s, the most common source of information was “classes at school or health guidance.” ・For both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, more than 40% had “somehow heard about menstruation” before they reached menarche. ・For both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, the number one reason they felt anxious or troubled about menstruation was “worry about leaking something at school,” and the second place was “embarrassment of being known by others.” However, women in their 20s ranked third with “I haven’t had any particular problems.” ＜Survey overview＞ Survey period: April 9th to April 11th, 2025 Research method: Internet survey Survey target: Women in their 20s and 50s Number of people surveyed: 332 people Monitor provider: RC Research Data For both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, the majority of women had their first period at the age of 12 First, when asked the question, “At what age did you get your first period?”, the most common response for both women in their 20s and women in their 50s was “12 years old.” It was also found that the trends in other responses did not differ significantly between the two age groups.

Among women in their 20s, a higher percentage of women learned about menstruation from their mothers or family members than from school classes or health guidance, and this result shows that information about women’s menstruation tends to be more open even within their families.

Furthermore, the response rate for women in their 50s who answered “I had no particular problems” remained at 12.7%, a difference of more than 15% when compared to women in their 20s. The results revealed that a higher percentage of women in their 20s said they had no particular problems with menstruation when they first started menstruation, perhaps because they recognize menstruation as a normal thing.

In addition, more than 40% of both women in their 20s and women in their 50s had heard about menstruation at some point before they got their first period, and it was revealed that for both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, the number one thing they felt anxious about or troubled about menstruation at the time of their menstruation was “worry about leaking at school,” and the second place was “embarrassment of having people around you know.” However, for women in their 20s, “I didn’t have any particular problems” ranked third in the list of concerns or troubles they felt about menstruation when they first started menstruation, while for women in their 50s, “I was worried about restrictions on clothing and behavior” ranked third, indicating a difference in this respect. The results of this survey revealed that, for both women in their 20s and women in their 50s, the number one reason they felt anxious or troubled about menstruation at the time of menstruation was “worrying about leakage at school.” “TSUKIOBI” manufactured and sold by akibito Co., Ltd. are
