Period underwear is a game-changer for menstrual comfort, offering all-day wear without the hassle of tampons. They’re reusable, eco-friendly, and available in various absorbencies to suit different flows. How long you can wear them depends on your lifestyle and flow. Here’s a breakdown: Worn Alone: If you use them solely for your period, opt for higher absorbency, as varying flow can lead to leaks when the fabric is full. Backup for Menstrual Cups : A lighter absorbency might suffice, allowing for all-day comfort. Bladder Incontinence: For mild incontinence, consider higher absorbency period panties, but note that blood and urine absorb differently. Sweat-Proof Option: They’re also effective for workouts or preventing sweat. Shop: sweatproof underwear Care is crucial; with proper washing, they can last a year or more.

Answering the Call for Safer Period Care Choices

Image
A recent pivotal study from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health revealed disturbing truths: tampons contain toxic metals like lead, arsenic, and cadmium. The study, led by Berkeley researcher Jenni A. Shearston and published in Environment International , has shaken the menstrual product industry and alarmed consumers. Given that tampons are a go-to for millions during their menstrual cycles, these findings are particularly worrisome; highlighting a glaring gap in regulation and testing within the disposable period product industry. Rethinking Menstrual Products In response to these revelations, it's crucial to reassess menstrual product choices for the sake of personal health. Luckily, there are safer and more sustainable alternatives available, such as menstrual discs and menstrual cups . Unlike tampons, which may contain metals from their production process, menstrual discs and cups are crafted from 100% medical-grade silicone. These materials are rigorously tested to ensur

Got Chocolate Cravings During Your Period? You’re Not Alone.

Image
If you find yourself reaching for a chocolate bar, or two, or five, during your period, you’re not alone. It's a topic we've all seen in rom-coms and heard in personal anecdotes. But is it real? And if so, why do we crave chocolate when we have our period? Blame it on biology. Your hormones are playing a complex game, with fluctuating levels of progesterone and estrogen impacting your mood-regulating neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Chocolate contains mood-boosting compounds such as theobromine, anandamide, and phenylethylamine, which help release these feel-good chemicals. So, munching on some chocolate can give your serotonin levels a quick lift, easing those pesky PMS symptoms and mood swings. But it’s not just biology making you reach for that chocolate bar. Psychology plays a part too. From childhood treats to romantic gifts, chocolate has always been a symbol of comfort and indulgence. During your period, when emotions are running high, grabbing a piece of c

Unlocking Body Wisdom: Empowerment Through Understanding

Image
In school, individuals are often taught only the fundamental aspects of their bodies. They may learn about organs like the ovaries and the uterus, the menstrual cycle, and basic hygiene practices. However, as one progresses into their 20s and develops a deeper appreciation for their body, there arises a curiosity to delve into understanding its intricacies and the nuances of the reproductive system. Harnessing Technology: The Role of Natural Cycles A significant contributor to this journey was the utilization of the Natural Cycles app. By diligently tracking their basal body temperature and monitoring their cycle phases, they gained valuable insights into how their mood and symptoms correlated with different stages of their cycle. This newfound knowledge not only facilitated better self-care planning but also enabled informed decisions regarding hormonal birth control methods, ultimately leading to a more harmonious relationship with their body. In addition, understanding when to look

Navigating Life with a Period: Essential Tips for Managing Period Symptoms

As individuals grow older, life seems to become increasingly hectic. Between the demands of a 9-5 job, familial responsibilities, the challenges of maintaining friendships (which can prove more difficult in adulthood), and essential self-care routines like sleep and nutrition, there's little time to spare. However, there's always that one week each month when the body aches and the mind feels a bit clouded. Managing Period Symptoms If one's experience with periods mirrors theirs, they arrive unexpectedly and disrupt daily life. The onslaught of cramps and mood swings can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Thus, when the time of the month approaches, being prepared is essential. The aim is to ensure that it doesn't hinder their ability to fulfill obligations and pursue personal interests. Therefore, sharing favorite period products becomes imperative.

Make your period tax-free with Saalt

This tax season, there may be a way to save your wallet and upgrade your period care at the same time. By utilizing your health insurance reimbursement or through tax-back initiatives, you can save money on common and some lesser-known period items like menstrual cups, menstrual discs, period underwear, and cleaning items.  What is an FSA, HSA or QSEHRA? Flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA) are accounts that let you set aside money before it’s been taxed to help pay for health and medical expenses. These plans are commonly provided by most major insurance companies in the United States. HSAs are gaining popularity as an investment vehicle with their triple tax-free advantage but are only available to those enrolled in a high deductible health plan. It is important to note that FSAs run on the calendar year and expire, unlike HSAs. Finally, a less common option for employees of small businesses is the qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangemen
