  • Go organic with menstrual cups.

For those who don’t know, menstrual cups are reusable and super-hygienic products made up of silicone or rubber. It is supposed to be inserted into the vagina and collect your period fluid. This eco-friendly and affordable option has become a huge sensation amongst women in the past few years.

This means that the good and essential bacteria, along with the delicate pH, stays right where it is supposed to be. According to the medical experts, menstrual cups should be changed once every 6 months. That’s a pretty good investment if you think about it.

You might be having a gross feeling that by choosing this, you’ll have intimate contact with menstrual blood. That’s the best way to connect with your body and its natural functions.

  • Reduce cramps with menstrual discs

Are you sick of using those hot water bottles every time you get those painful cramps? If yes, then girl, we have something that can help you get through those shooting pains in your uterus. Yes, you guessed that right! It’s the menstrual discs we are talking about.

These discs have a soft center that catches and collects rather than absorbing. The product is made up of a proprietary, medical-grade polymer blend and contains natural rubber latex. Not many people know about this, but besides offering 12 hours of stain protection, these discs are said to reduce cramps during periods. 

The only drawback of using this product is that it isn’t reusable, making it a less eco-friendly option. The disc can be inserted just like a menstrual cup; the only difference is that it sits much higher. You need to know that since it isn’t reusable, you have to change it repeatedly to practice proper hygiene. These discs might be able to handle a heavy flow but make sure that you change it regularly throughout the day. 

To sum it all up, 

Apart from these tips mentioned above, if you want to have a healthy and happy period, then take a proper diet and refrain from alcoholic beverages. Limit your caffeine intake. However, it won’t harm you if you are craving it. 

The bottom line is, periods can be stressful, regardless of what you try. It might give you the power to create life, which is incredible, obviously, but it is just not something that every woman waits for. Thus, instead of going on a killing spree in a fit of a mood swing, it is better to take a practical approach and use whatever makes you feel better.

Remember, the more comfortable you are, the happier you will be.
