Period fatigue hits hard, often due to iron loss from menstrual blood—averaging 15-30 mg per cycle. This depletes hemoglobin, impairing oxygen delivery and causing exhaustion, dizziness, headaches, and pale skin. Up to 20% of menstruating people face iron deficiency, exacerbated by heavy flows. Enter steak: a powerhouse of heme iron, absorbed at 25-35% efficiency versus 2-10% from plants like spinach. Grill a 6-8 oz cut 1-2 times weekly post-period, paired with vitamin C-rich sides (peppers, oranges) for optimal uptake. This quick replenishment boosts energy, combats brain fog, and supports daily stamina. For vegetarians, combine lentils with citrus, though heme sources like steak work faster. Beyond nutrition, manage comfort with reliable period gear. A  menstrual cup  or  cup for period  offers eco-friendly, leak-free flow control, holding more than tampons without odor risks. Pair it with  leakproof underwear  for ultimate protection—absorbent, breathab...

If you’re wondering, “When do girls get their period?” The truth is, it depends. Many first periods (called menarche) happen between ages 9 and 15, with most girls experiencing it at age 12. Some start earlier, others later, and both are healthy and normal! Every body moves at its own pace, guided by a mix of genetics, health, and environment. Navigating the First Period: When Do Girls Typically Start Menstruating? The first period can feel like a big unknown. Often, your child’s body will give little hints that a period is on the horizon. Breast development, new hair under the arms or around the pubic area, or whitish vaginal discharge are all natural signs that menstruation could begin within the next year or two. The most important part is approaching this milestone with openness, patience, and reassurance. Let your child know it’s always okay to ask you questions, share worries, or just talk about what’s on their mind. Even if you don’t have an answer right away, simply listening ...

Leaks shouldn’t dictate your plans. Saalt makes incontinence underwear that looks and feels like everyday undies, only smarter, thanks to a thin, multi-layer gusset that wicks away wetness quickly and helps control odor.

If you’ve been searching for sustainable alternatives to pads and tampons, you’ve likely come across two of the most popular reusable menstrual cups: the Saalt and Diva Cup. Both are made from 100% medical-grade silicone, safe for the body and free from BPA, latex, and toxins. But when it comes to comfort, fit, and longevity, there are a few key differences worth noting. One factor is firmness. Saalt period cups are gentler than Diva Cups, making them a gentle option for beginners or those with sensitive bladders. The regular Saalt Cup leans a little firmer, which can help create a strong seal but may feel less forgiving for some. Both offer multiple sizes, but Saalt’s lineup includes a Teen Cup designed specifically for younger users, plus innovative options like the Saalt menstrual disc for a tampon-free alternative that sits higher in the vaginal canal. Insertion and removal are nearly identical, though Diva recommends a full 360° twist during insertion to ensure a complete seal. In...

Puberty brings a wave of changes, and one of the biggest milestones is the first period. While every body moves at its own pace, there are a few signs that can help you know when your daughter’s first period might be approaching. Growth spurts are often one of the earliest signals, with sudden height changes and bigger appetites hinting that her body is preparing for menstruation. Breast development is another key marker; periods typically begin within two years of breast budding. New hair under the arms and in the pubic area is also part of this transition, along with clear or milky vaginal discharge that often shows up about six months to a year before a first period. Emotional changes can be just as telling. Mood swings, bigger feelings, or shifts in friendships may all accompany the hormonal shifts of puberty. These signs that your period is coming for the first time are natural, though they can feel overwhelming at times. The best way to support your child is to speak with her op...

If you’ve asked yourself, “Why am I bleeding 2 weeks after my last period?” The answer isn’t always the same for everyone. Light, brief spotting mid-cycle may be ovulation-related. The color is often pink or brown and lasts a day or so. Still, bleeding two weeks after a period isn’t always caused by ovulation. Implantation bleeding, recent changes to hormonal birth control, infections, and underlying conditions can sometimes cause bleeding between periods. It’s a good idea to take a pregnancy test if there’s any chance you could be expecting. If bleeding keeps returning, comes with pelvic pain, or feels different from your usual cycle, loop in your healthcare provider to make sure everything is normal. Seek urgent care if you’re soaking through your period products very quickly, feeling faint, experiencing severe pain, or have bleeding with a positive pregnancy test. In the meantime, comfortable protection can help you feel at ease.  Period underwear  offers familiar, breatha...
