Thank you for doing your part to bring real change to the world!
You can, but you must be more careful when inserting and applying it. The silicone is thick enough not to be damaged by your nails.✨

Your mental health matters. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.
Things you can do to help ease the pain when you have to go to school...
🩸Try taking some painkillers in the morning
🩸Drink lots of water
🩸Eat up! Some food can help ease period cramps
🩸Exercise can actually help ease cramps too.
🩸If you’re going on a road trip and don’t want to make frequent bathroom stops, consider a period product that you can wear for a long time without changing. You can leave a menstrual cup in for up to 12 hours!🩸

REMINDER: Beauty isn't always about the physical or stereotypical images we create. Beauty is the imperfections that make us unique. Being on your period can be hard, but your body is working hard. Learn to appreciate yourself and love yourself, you are worth it!🧡
✨Many women experience physical discomfort around menstruation. This physical discomfort can be associated with increases in psychological distress and irritability, and decreased self-esteem.
💧Hydration prevents your blood from thickening while alleviating the muscle cramps associated with your monthly flow. Additionally, drinking water can help end your cycle faster. Eight glasses, or 64 ounces per day, really works wonders.💧
You may experience a scant or heavy first period after pregnancy. Longer than normal cycles: Your first cycle may be 45 days, then 40, then 35, and so on until eventually your cycle returns to normal.
🍭Before our periods begin there is a drop in the hormone progesterone and a rise in oestrogen, which can cause blood sugar levels to drop. When blood sugar levels drop the brain sends signals to replenish sugar, and therefore cravings occur🍭
🌸Hi ladies🌸 Here is a list of some great educational menstrual books to read:
-Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement, by Nadir Okamoto
-Periods Gone Public: Taking A Stand For Menstrual Equity, by Jennifer Weiss-Wolf
🩸Menstrual cups: Clean cups every day after use. Sanitize menstrual cups after your period is over by rinsing them thoroughly and then placing them in boiling water for one to two minutes.🩸

It’s very common to experience emotional distress during your period, including symptoms of depression.
🩸You might notice:
-irritability
-anxiety
-difficulty concentrating
-low mood
-frequent crying
-persistent feelings of sadness
🧡Self-love is important because it motivates much of our positive behavior while reducing harmful behavior. Sometimes it can be hard to love ourselves on our period because of all our body and emotion changes. You got it!!🧡
