Getting to the gym can be tough on a regular day, let alone when you're bleeding and crampy. But did you know that gentle movement and exercise during your period can actually help to relieve menstrual cramps?
Engaging in physical activity can boost your mood as well as reduce bloating and discomfort - so if you can get yourself to do even a brief workout, you’ll probably thank yourself for it later! But a question that might come to mind is: how do you protect yourself from leaks and ensure comfort during movement? Well we’re here to help you figure that out!
Let’s dive into some of our best and favourite feminine care products that will transform your periods forever:
Menstrual Cups & Discs | Reliable Protection
Unlike tampons, which can not only become uncomfortable during physical activity but also contain toxins that are dangerous for your body, menstrual cups and discs provide long-lasting, comfortable, and reliable protection. Designed with flexibility, they allow for freedom of movement, making them perfect for hiking, cycling, stretching, and swimming! Cups and discs can be worn for up to 12 hours, increasing convenience and allowing you to stay focused on your workout while offering peace of mind while you train.
Period Pants | Peace of Mind
If you’re worried about leaks during workouts and perhaps cups or discs are not your style, period underwear can be a total game-changer! We have a great range of period pants with built-in absorbent layers that offer comfortable and discreet protection against leaks while you exercise. Breathable, reliable, and available in a variety of styles (from thongs to granny pants and everything in between!) - period pants are surely a great solution no matter what kind of workout you do!
Benefits of Gentle Movement During Menstruation
During your period, your body might crave different types of movement. It doesn’t have to be anything major! Consider activities like yoga, stretching, or walking into your routine, to help enhance blood circulation, reduce stress, and ease menstrual cramps. What’s important is that you listen to your body and choose activities that feel right for you.
We get it - exercising on your period is probably the last thing you’d feel like doing. Especially on those heavier, crampier days. But with the right approach and products to aid your protection and comfort, you will surely feel the benefits!
