REDUCE TOXINS, SWITCH TO ORGANIC
Most common cosmetic and personal care products that we use in our daily lives have chemical substances that can be toxic to our body. That is why using as many natural and organic products is the best prevention!
We recommend you start with the most intimate: menstrual hygiene. Conventional tampons and compresses contain pesticides (related to hormonal imbalances, fertility problems and cancer), synthetic fibers -which favor vaginal infections- and whitening chemicals that imbalance the natural PH. You can go to the organic tampons, the vaginal cup, reusable compresses or underwear for the rule like those of Cocoro … You are also helping the planet!

KNOW YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE
The menstrual cycle is the -complex- process that prepares the uterus for a possible pregnancy every month, but the repercussion of this process on your body goes far beyond reproduction. The hormonal changes govern your emotions, how you feel and how you act. It is our natural chemistry, and we can not be oblivious to it. Knowing what stage of the cycle you are in and understanding these phases will help you understand your emotions and not judge you, eliminate stress and even reduce menstrual pain. What to do? Step 1: We recommend Erika Irusta’s articles, like this one in which she explains the 4 phases of the cycle . Step 2: track your menstruation. You have many apps available, and soon you can do it in B-wom too!
