Sex can feel different at various stages of the menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations affecting your body’s sensitivity, libido, and lubrication. There are four main phases: menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal, each influencing sexual experiences in unique ways. Menstrual Phase (Day 1–5) : With low hormone levels during menstruation, libido may decrease, and the cervix becomes more sensitive. Menstrual discs or cups (for non-penetrative sex) can provide leakproof protection for mess-free period sex during your period, helping you feel comfortable and confident. Follicular Phase (Day 6–14) : As estrogen rises, sensitivity and lubrication increase, making sex feel more pleasurable. This phase often brings heightened libido and energy, and period panties or leakproof underwear offer extra protection, especially if you're concerned about leaks after sex or increased discharge. Ovulation (Day 14–16) : Peak estrogen makes sexual desire stronger and vaginal tissues more...

Sustainability is everywhere these days – from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, and even the products we use for personal care. One area often overlooked? Period products. Fortunately, that’s changing with reusable options like leakproof underwear and menstrual cups . These two products are a dynamic, eco-friendly duo that not only help the planet but also make your period easier to manage. Traditional period products, such as tampons and pads – even disposable menstrual discs –  contribute massively to waste, taking centuries to decompose and leaching harmful chemicals into the environment. Period panties and period cups, on the other hand, are reusable, reducing waste and saving money. Period underwear lasts for years, while a cup for period can last for a decade with proper care. Together, they provide complementary protection. The menstrual cup collects menstrual fluid internally, while leakproof underwear acts as an external backup, giving you extra security in case o...

A tilted cervix, also known as a retroverted cervix, occurs when the cervix tilts backward instead of pointing forward toward the vaginal opening. This is a common condition affecting about 25% of those with a uterus, and for most people, it causes no issues. However, it can be an important factor when choosing the best reusable period care products. Most people with a tilted cervix can safely use products like menstrual cups, menstrual discs , or leakproof underwear . Menstrual discs sit under the cervix in the vaginal fornix, which works well for those with a minor tilt. If the cervix is more tilted, adjusting the disc or trying a different size may help with fit. For those with a more pronounced tilt, a menstrual cup might be a better choice, as it sits lower in the vaginal canal and doesn’t require full coverage of the cervix. Cups also come in different sizes and firmness, like the Saalt Soft Cup , to ensure a good fit. Leakproof period underwear is another great option for extr...

Switching to a reusable menstrual product is an exciting step, and menstrual discs can be a great choice! But how do you find the right size? Let’s simplify it. Why Menstrual Discs? Menstrual discs offer up to 12 hours of wear, hold more fluid than tampons, pads, and period cups, and don’t rely on suction, making them ideal for IUD users. They can last up to 10 years, have self-emptying capabilities, and allow for mess-free period sex. Cervix Height Matters Understanding your cervix height is key to finding the perfect fit. Since it can move throughout your cycle, measuring it during your period can help. A lower cervix may mean a smaller disc is better, while a higher cervix might call for a larger size. Learn: How to measure your cervix Small vs. Regular Small: Best for lower cervix, teens, light flow, or sensitivity to larger products. Regular: Great for higher cervix, heavier flow, or those who’ve given birth vaginally. Tips for Success Consider your flow, age, childbirth histor...

Managing menstruation can be difficult, especially when managing blood clots and heavy flow. Hormonal fluctuations often lead to a heavier period and clotting. While it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider if you experience unusual symptoms, passing clots is typically a normal part of menstruation.

Reusable menstrual discs are a great choice for those experiencing heavy flow and blood clots. These flexible discs fit at the base of the cervix and offer a high capacity, providing up to 12 hours of protection without leaks. They are comfortable, secure, and can be worn during activities like swimming or exercise. Menstrual cups are another excellent option.

During your period, there’s nothing worse than missing out on sleep. However, it can be difficult to sleep well on your period.  Tampons have some big drawbacks when it comes to sleep. If you get a good night of sleep, you often wake up in a panic for fear of oversleeping the 8-hour wear time. That is if you’re not up every few hours dealing with leaks. If you use pads to avoid this, then you know the diaper-like feeling of overnight pads that get bunched up while you sleep. There has to be a better way, right?  It sounds like you’ve been dreaming of period cups and discs! A menstrual cup or menstrual disc can be worn for up to 12 hours, so you can hit snooze without worrying about running to the bathroom first thing in the morning. Because menstrual cups and menstrual discs can hold as much as multiple tampons, you can sleep tight knowing you’re safe from leaks. Want a little extra protection? Pair your period cup or disc with period underwear so even if your flow is heavy...
