HEALTHIER PERIODS.
A topic that is so important for women’s health but our generation has sadly grown up programmed to not speak about it, to feel ashamed about our periods.
Let’s also shed some light on the fact that we have been inserting toxic period products since we first started our periods! Most common brands of period products (including Tampax and Playtex to name a few) have plastics and chemicals harmful to our health.
Toxic Period Products
Especially when you’re using tampons, this is a woman’s most sensitive areas where our bodies will absorb all of these toxic chemicals very very easily.
Even when choosing cotton products, you may be exposing yourself to pesticide residue. Huge tampon and pad brands have been found to have plastics, plasticizers and fragrance that are linked to endocrine disruptions and cancer.
We can take better care down there and end the shame around periods that are so HEALTHY and natural ✨
🩸 Free-bleeding is a practice you can do at home where you simply allow your body to bleed on a comfortable surface in clothing/blankets/towels that you don’t mind getting blood on. It can alleviate period pain and discomfort and is as natural as it gets for times youre able to rest (don’t judge until you try it)♥️
🩸 Silicone Cups: there are several safe menstrual cup brands that are much better than common tampons
🩸100% organic cotton pads. I prefer to avoid tampons at all costs but you can also find 100% organic cotton tampons if you prefer them. Fragrance free.
Let’s end the shame around periods and remind ourselves how important it is that we are using non-toxic healthy care for our most sensitive areas. Celebrate your body and rest during your period.♥️
