My aim is to educate children and young adults about their bodily health through straightforward, shame free conversation.

Something I hear most often about #menstrualcups is worries about it being messy. While there can be a learning curve for proper removal, my advice is to take it out while in the shower! Prop one leg up, take it out, and if there is a mess, it is the easiest cleanup possible!

I've been thinking lately about breaking out my sewing machine and attempting to make my own reusable pads. I have a feeling they won't be very pretty, but the allure of using whatever cool fabric I want is very strong. I will definitely be relying on YouTube tutorials! #crafting

One of the easiest ways to normalize periods to your kids is by talking about them openly from a young age. Menstruation is not a dirty word, it's just a part of life! #kidtalk #OpenDiscussion

For 5 years I have been a cup user, but this cycle I decided to ditch the cup and use disposable products. For my 6 day period I used 20 tampons, 10 pads, and 3 panty liners. That is a lot of waste compared to my normal cycle! Next month, I will be happily returning to the cup!

Don't know where to start in talking to the young person in your life about periods? Or maybe you feel like your own education system dropped the ball when teaching you? Sounds like my video lesson is perfect for you! https://t.co/B6mbGqCjr9 #education #booknow

HUGE #shoutout to Mary Kenner, the inventor of the sanitary belt, which led to the invention of the pads we use still today. She fought through racism and financial struggle to bring others a more comfortable way to navigate their period.

Not all periods look the same! Young adults new to their cycle may look down and be alarmed at the color of their blood, but there are a wide range that are within the normal range. #multicolored #periodblood

Have you heard?! There are SO many options when it comes to menstrual products! The days of choosing only between pads or tampons are gone. Cups, period underwear, reusable pads, and discs (and more!) are all available for you to collect or absorb your flow! #periodproducts
