Menstruation is still often a taboo subject today - even within the family. Many mothers have found their own rhythm, but it is difficult to pass on clear tips and instructions to their daughters, also because every cycle is different. Young menstruating people rarely talk about their periods or ask for tips during their first visits to the gynecologist. The focus is usually on contraception. Only in more in-depth discussions, for example about the contraceptive ring, does it become clear that invasive products, and thus also tampons or menstrual cups, are out of the question.

Gynecologists as pioneers

Gynecologists are doing important work in introducing reusable period products. They are committed to ensuring that pharmacies offer reusable products such as period underwear and menstrual cups. In discussions with major manufacturers of hygiene products, they emphasize the demand for sustainable products.

Health aspects and product selection

Infections and irritations can be caused by ingredients in period products. It is therefore important to choose products with few ingredients, for example without perfume. Tampons should not be changed too often. If you notice any signs of irritation, you should change the brand or type of product. Switching from invasive to non-invasive products, such as period underwear, can be very helpful here.

Free bleeding – a controversial topic

“Free bleeding,” or not using period products, has no proven health benefits. However, it remains a personal decision whether you collect menstrual blood with a tampon or menstrual cup, absorb it in a pad or period underwear, or just let it flow. The important thing is that you feel comfortable.
