What should top your list of New Year’s resolutions? Better period care. Period care has come a long way, and investing in better options is basically self-care. It’s a big deal. Modern period care products, like reusable period cups, discs, and leakproof panties, can help you take care of your mental and physical health. Along with adding a more sustainable period to your list of resolutions, a few super-achievable goals may improve the first phase of your cycle.
Keep Your Vagina Healthy
Hello, vaginal health! This goal should be at the top of your New Year’s resolutions. Vaginal health is essential to healthy periods and hormone cycles. You can learn how to keep your vagina healthy by talking to healthcare professionals, reading period care blogs, tracking your cycle, and listening to your body. Vaginas don’t have to stay mysteries this year.
Throw Out Period Euphemisms
Period jokes are out. Making derogatory jokes about something that’s totally healthy is weird and unnecessary. You don’t have to miss a pool day because of your period, you aren’t checking into a Red Roof Inn, and “it’s that time of the month” doesn’t give someone an excuse to brush you off. Not only can these jokes be hurtful to people with periods, but they are also harmful to those dealing with amenorrhea. Just ditch them and encourage others to do the same.
Learn About Period Waste
Period waste is everything you throw away during your period—from wrappings to applicators to used products. There’s a lot of it. In the U.S. alone, upwards of 20 billion products are disposed of a year, and you might be well on your way to using about 11,000 disposable products in your lifetime. By switching to a sustainable option like period cups, you can reduce period waste by thousands of products.
Research Modern Period Care
Just those first three resolutions are great, but here’s something you can do to directly impact your period experience—change your period care. Modern, high-quality options like a reusable menstrual cup or disc and underwear completely change the game. Instead of absorbing your flow, cups and discs catch it. Plus, avoiding leaks with products that hold up to three times more than a tampon or pad is much easier.
Invest in Leakproof Panties
After you do your research, one of the first things you can do is invest in leakproof panties. They can be like a trial run for other reusable products. A high-quality period panty will keep you secure and dry, whether you’re in the thick of your flow or just dealing with a lot of discharge. The gusset should be as thin as a nickel, which is more comfortable than a bulky pad. If you’re not into period underwear, you might want to try a cup or a disc to reduce waste and enjoy a simple, sustainable period in the new year.
Period care is different from a new workout routine or taking more bubble baths. Those are still nice, but improving your periods has a lasting impact you can appreciate with every cycle. It helps you feel less stressed and more comfortable and confident in your menstrual health. Now, that’s a good setup for a whole lifetime of periods—let alone one new year. With sustainable period care products, every period is a chance to celebrate a win.
