Danish men track partners’ menstrual cycles to offer tailored support

Some Danish men are tracking their partners’ menstrual cycles via apps, cooking meals like steak, and buying flowers to provide targeted care during menstruation, public broadcaster DR reports.

The practice marks a shift from earlier norms, where women often managed menstruation and associated mood swings alone. Now, certain partners actively monitor cycles to better understand fluctuations in mood, energy, and needs—adjusting their support accordingly.
