Have you ever wondered how many babies in the United States are delivered by Cesarean section? In the recent ten years, the number of American women who have preferred to have a C-section over natural vaginal birth has grown significantly and still keeps growing with each year.

As you reach middle age, your body will go through a major life change, where it transforms from being fertile to infertile by quitting the menstruation process. This major life change can take from several months to several years, and the completion of the process is known as menopause. 

 

Just think of it! Immediately after delivery, your body launches the process of returning to its pre-pregnancy state.

With spring coming and outdoor swimming season approaching, some of our customers have asked us whether or not we produce sanitary pads they could use while swimming. The answer is, no one does. Actually, completely safe waterproof sanitary pads for swimming don’t exist!

When your hormones get out of whack at PMS, the rest of your health responds immediately.

What adds to the PMS stress is that we are constantly surrounded by elements that are threatening our hormonal balance: think about environmental toxins, prescription medications, our frequent lack of sleep and a variety of trying situations we face throughout the day. 

Menstruation probably isn't the time of the month you're looking forward to, right? One typically unpleasant thing about it – in addition to cramps, bloating and mood swings – may be that rather peculiar odor. We bet you've wondered why you get it at least once in your menstrual history. 

 

If you‘ve ever shared the details of your period with a close friend or two, you’ve probably noticed that they may be quite different in each of us.

There is a wide range rather than a single pattern in what is "normal" for periods: they can take from 3 to 10 days, and happen every 3 to 6 weeks. In each of us individually, period fluctuations can be the effect of age, stress, diet, exercise, and other medical conditions. 

It’s that time of the month again. You‘re doubled in menstrual cramps that just won‘t cease. Have you ever considered relieving them naturally instead of using medications?

Recently, we got an email from a concerned customer. First, she said she was “in love” with our super-absorbent sanitary pads (yay!). But then she proceeded to express her concern about pantiliners: “I have nothing against your pantiliners in particular, but I’m concerned if wearing pantiliners every day can cause skin irritation or yeast infection. I want to try them, but I’m really not sure if it’s a good idea. It seems that many gynecologists are not big fans of them.”

Periods are uncomfortable and downright painful, but nothing makes your period more irritating as excessive bloating. It’s estimated that about 70 percent of women experience bloating during that time of the month…. Yikes!

Let’s talk about… underwear. What comes to your mind when you’re deciding which pair to wear? Is it the color (go hot pink!)? Style (cheekini, anyone)? Material (silk, please)?

Menstruation myths have been passing down from generation to generation, popularizing many misconceptions about our natural bodily process – which are designed to restrict our behavior.

Getting ready for a big spring cleaning? Take a hard look at your cleaner inventory first.

Strictly speaking, your daily routine of open-air running or jogging should always stay the same, never mind the season or weather. However, you probably know it too well that craving for staying inside instead of putting on countless layers of clothes and trotting out to hit the pavement under the gloomy sky.

Most soaps and body washes are alkaline, designed to maintain the pH of 10 or neutral, which have a pH value of 7. However, the normal pH value of a healthy vagina is between 3.8 and 4.5. Regular soap can disrupt the natural vaginal flora and enable the fast development and multiplication of harmful bacteria. As a result, you may experience infections, rash, even pain and abnormal discharge.

If you frequently struggle with skin issues – irritation, dryness, oiliness, acne breakouts, etc. – think twice before switching to a more expensive skin product or accessing your beauty counselor for help. It’s possible to deal with most of those issues by just giving a little more attention to how you wash your face.

Have you noticed the remarkable effect of scents on our emotions? For instance, smelling certain types of flowers can bring us memories of places where those flowers grew--such as our grandparents’ garden. Or when meeting new people, the first thing we notice and memorize about them is the perfume, which can--absolutely irrationally--instantly make us like or dislike them…

Today, we can enjoy having a large variety of women’s underpants: from minimalist boyshorts to lacy G-strings, from granny-style briefs to bright-colored bikini sportswear... But did you know that in Western civilization, women went commando up to the 1800s?
