it’s made my period. so. much. better.

I never thought I would be the kind of persion to wear period underwear, it kind of gave me the ick if I am honest. But I started wearing them on my WFH days as a test and now I wear them every day of my period, wherever I am.

I never liked using tampons

I never liked using tampons but felt societal pressure to use them. Since I realised how bad they are for my body and the climate I made the switch to a menstrual cup and it has been life-changing, well for those days of the month anyway!
