Having a period is a huge learning experience, and you really never stop learning. You have to figure out so much for yourself, including getting to know your cycle, your flow, and the right period care products for you. That’s a big one—period care products. When someone starts their menstrual cycle and has a period, they might settle for tampons and disposable pads, but you don’t have to. Reusable menstrual products like period cups, discs, and leakproof underwear are literally life-changing if you have a period. They’ll help you say goodbye to all the inconveniences and insecurities you might have when you’re on your period.

Leakproof Panties

Hide Tampons Up Your Sleeve

When you wear tampons, you never stop hiding them. Even though most people know what a period is and what you need to take care of it, it’s somehow still taboo to flash your tampons around. You don’t hide your period care products when you don’t wear tampons. That is not only because you can wear a menstrual cup or disc for up to 12 hours (depending on your flow) but also because you no longer feel like a criminal for going through a totally natural process.

Spend Money on New Products Every Month


Disposables are, well, disposable. Once you use them and throw them away, you have to get new ones. Not so with reusables. That is obviously why they call them “reusable.” Silicone period cups and discs last up to 10 years with proper care, and leakproof panties last about the same time as your regular underwear (let’s be reasonable—it’s probably time for new ones after two years).


Know Nothing About Your Vagina


Using disposable period care products teaches you nothing about your vagina or vaginal health. You just stick the tampon inside your vagina or the pad to your underwear and change them when they leak or feel full. With reusable period care products, you learn about your vagina. You figure out the length of your cervix, if you have a tilted uterus, and how heavy your flow is during the day and at night. It may be less so if you use period underwear, but you could still be more interested in learning about your vagina.


Feel Weird About Talking About Your Period


With knowledge comes power, and once you gain knowledge about your vagina and your period, there’s a kind of power in talking about it. Instead of feeling like you need to hide your tampons, whisper with your friends, or pretend you don’t even have a period, you’ll feel more empowered and open to discussing periods. It’s important to share your thoughts about period care and advocate for better instruction for younger people with periods, so they know all of their options.


When you start using period cups, discs, and leakproof underwear, you stop dealing with many of the insecurities that come with using disposable products and having a period in general. You deserve the best products to support your body, and you should always have the knowledge you need to confidently talk about your period and approach conversations about periods. Using a reusable product will help you get to know your vagina, understand your flow, and get comfortable with your period.
