4 vagina-friendly period products

Reusable sanitary pad: Well this one is dedicated to nature and of course, your vagina too. Our period products, especially sanitary napkins, lead to a lot of waste and reusable napkins are the best way to prevent them. You can use them again and again. Just wash and they are ready to be placed. It is always recommended to use 100% cotton or linen-based pads as they are more vagina friendly. Image courtesy: Shutterstock

Tampon: The first thought that comes to your mind while inserting a tampon is how this tiny-miny thing is going to suck your flow? The thing is that a tampon is made of rayon or cotton. It is highly compressed to fit in your vagina and it expands to absorb your period blood. So, you really don’t have to worry about leakage. Just try it once to know whether it’s safe or not.

Period panties: Hey wait, if you think that these period panties are similar to adult diapers, hold your horses because that’s not true. Period panties are just like your regular underwear. The only difference is that these have an extra layer that absorbs blood and prevents any kind of leakage. These are very skin-friendly, prevent itching around the vaginal area, and the best part is no more adjusting your pad. Image courtesy: Shutterstock

Menstrual cup: Have you felt awkward while thinking about trying a menstrual cup? Well, don’t worry you are not alone in this because most of us feel the same. The fact is, menstrual cups are made in such a manner that your vagina can hold it. All you have to do is learn the technique to fit it in and keep a note of when to pull it out to avoid leakages. And yes, no more chafing as there is no synthetic matter rubbing against your VJ. Image courtesy: Shutterstock
