Hilarie Burton Has Open Conversations with Her Kids About Menopause, Periods and Puberty: 'Give a Dude Tampons' (Exclusive)


Hilarie Burton is opening up about her experience with perimenopause and the conversations she's had with her children about it. The actress shares her son Augustus "Gus," 14, and daughter George, 6, with husband Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

She continues, "So my job is to make it so common that not only are people anticipating menopause, but they're supporting it in the workplace, in the home, whether it's in your spouse relationship or with your kids." She recalls a controversy her town experienced when the school systems were putting feminine hygiene products in boys' bathrooms. I wake up with these night sweats and hot flashes and it inspires rage because you can't understand what is happening to your body.
