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?

Have you ever wondered what chemicals and other ingredients are in your tampons? Should you even care?

While exercising on the red days is known to modulate pain and make you feel less bloated as you lose some body water through sweating, there are some significant points to consider.

For many women, menstrual days are distressing and bothersome especially due to menstrual cramps, which may include headaches, vomiting, sweating, pain in the lower back, dizziness, nausea, etc. Many feel debilitated,  stagnated, or exhausted all over.
