EHBM: Hygiene tips during your period

|Bente Hagens

When you're on your period, you often feel a little less fresh. Of course, this isn't always the case, but because you're bleeding, it can sometimes feel that way. This isn't because blood is unpleasant, but because your body is experiencing hormonal fluctuations and changes. For example, the odor down there can change during your period, and you're more susceptible to infections like vaginal yeast infections. By paying extra attention to your hygiene routine, you'll feel fresher and more confident during your period. Read here for tips that can help you feel fresh and comfortable during your period.

Tip 1: Replace your menstrual products regularly

To prevent odors and bacteria buildup, it's important to change your menstrual products regularly. Whether you use tampons or pads, make sure you change them every 4 to 6 hours. This, of course, depends on the heaviness of your flow. Moodies period underwear is a durable and comfortable option that allows you to stay protected longer without frequent changes. Thanks to the breathable and absorbent layers, you can wear the underwear for 8 to 10 hours. Keep in mind that this depends on your flow and the absorbency of the underwear. The underwear also contains an antibacterial wash that is used to kill bacteria.

Tip 2: Keep your vagina clean

    During your period, your vagina's pH can change, making you more susceptible to infections. Doctors therefore recommend washing your vagina twice a day. Just use water; every woman would love their vagina to smell like roses, but that's impossible. Everyone has their own unique scent during their cycle, especially during menstruation. Therefore, do n't wash your vagina with soap, as it throws your pH off balance and can actually kill some beneficial bacteria.


    Tip 3: Stay protected at night during your period


      Waking up with a red stain on your sheets is not how you want to start your day. It makes you feel anything but fresh. To prevent this, change your products right before bed and when you wake up. If you have heavy bleeding or if you can't change your tampon within six hours, use a sanitary pad overnight. Although the risk of tampon sickness is small, it's still wise to change your tampon often to prevent it. Moodies period underwear is also a great option because it's specially designed for extra absorbency, allowing you to sleep undisturbed. The underwear keeps you dry and comfortable and is designed to provide maximum protection overnight without the use of tampons or sanitary pads.

        It's best to choose natural underwear because it breathes best. It's best to avoid synthetic fabrics because they tend to increase moisture and heat, which creates the perfect environment for bacteria. Bamboo underwear is also a good option, as the fabric itself is antibacterial. Moodies offers bamboo menstrual underwear, which is not only more hygienic but also better for the environment. It requires significantly less water to produce. The round fibers also feel softer and absorb moisture more easily, leaving the underwear feeling drier.
