#SironaGotYourBack: 11 Affordable Game-Changing Products For Every Period Problem Ever

Periods were a nightmarish experience during my teenage years and the first half of my twenties. From painful cramps to heavy menstrual flow, I went through it all. So much so, that skipping school, college, and work on the first day of periods became a monthly ritual. What else could I do? The premenstrual syndrome (PMS) would kick in days in advance and sap the dear life out of me. The consequent fatigue, mood swings, hunger pangs, acne, and bloating rendered me listless to face the red-letter days. With zilch ability to function, uncomfortable pads, and hot water bottles as my only resorts, I spent the period days curled up in bed. 

Fast forward five years and things are drastically different now. I do not dread the arrival of my periods anymore and sail through my menstrual cycle with utmost ease. What’s the reason behind this welcome change, you ask? Three words— Sirona’s period-care range! I tried a plethora of desperate remedies before stumbling upon the brand and I haven’t looked back ever since. Having used a host of products from their period-care range, I can safely say that Sirona gets it. The brand hits all the right spots with a steller period-care products crafted to suit all the needs of every menstruator ever. 

Are you willing to change your period experience just like I did? Give your period-stack a facelift with these 11 game-changing products Sirona:

Menstrual Cup

Made with soft, medical-grade silicone, the menstrual cup by Sirona can be folded and slid easily into the vagina. Its unique rim design can help create a firm grip with the pelvic floor muscles. The coolest part? It offers leak-proof protection for up to eight hours! With a stem at the lower end of the funnel for easy removal and insertion, it’s a godsend for menstrual cup newbies. 

Moisturising Lube Tube

This is a great product for menstrual cup beginners. This lube tube can be applied on the cup or on the vaginal opening for seamless insertion. There’s a perk too. Once you’re comfortable with the lube, you can use it for some extra fun in bed. You can give it a go sans any inhibitions because it is water-based and contains no glycerine or toxins. It’s made with nourishing natural ingredients like Tasmanian pepper fruit and riberry and is absolutely safe for frequent use.

Menstrual Cup Wash

Unlike disposable period aids, menstrual cups are reusable. Just ensure that you are cleaning them properly and they will last for as much as a decade. The Menstrual Cup Wash by Sirona is what we recommend to get rid of all the irritants and residue from your cup’s surface. Its natural and mild surfactants are neither harsh on your skin nor on the silicone of the cup. 

Menstrual Cup Sterilizer

There’s nothing wrong with sterilising your menstrual cup in boiling water but it’s a tedious and jugadu way to do things at best. You can take your menstrual-hygiene game up by several notches with Sirona’s Menstrual Cup Sterilizer. It’s convenient and hassle-free. You just have to fill its base with 5ml of water, place the cup inside, and it will kill 99.9% of germs in just three minutes. 

Dry Comfort Panty Liners

These are ultra-thin versions of pads. They can be useful if your menstrual cycle is irregular and help you deal with abrupt spotting before your period.

Rash-Free Pads

Unlike most pads available in the market, they’re 100% biodegradable, chlorine-free, and paraben-free. The best part is that they’re sleek and extremely gentle on the skin. They can keep rashes at bay and you will be comfy during that time of the month.

Premium Applicator Tampons

If you’re a tampon user, you’ve got to try these ultra-soft, BPA-free ones from Sirona’s period care range. The unique design features a rounded tip and a thin layer of net on top to ensure extra comfort and protection. Made of highly-absorbent natural fibres, this FDA-approved product is sure to keep you carefree and comfy during your period. 

Sanitary Disposal Bags

Disposing of used pads, tampons, condoms, and other sanitary waste openly or wrapped in plastic can be quite harmful to the environment. It can even lead to infections. Enter, Sirona’s Sanitary Disposal Bags to the rescue. You can discard your waste in these biodegradable disposal bags while ensuring that neither the environment nor those coming in contact with it get harmed. 

Antibacterial Period Stain Remover

Made of bio-enzymes, this is a plant-based product and doesn’t contain bleach. So it can disinfect and clean your stained underwear without fading out the colour of the fabric. It can also eliminate the period-blood odour from your clothes, leaving them fresh and clean for next use.

Feminine Pain Relief Patch

This is a hassle-free way to combat period cramps. You can apply the heat patch on the area in pain like a band-aid. It can provide instant relief minus any side effects. This is because the patch is coated with natural pain-relieving ingredients like menthol and eucalyptus oil. It can stay effective for up to 8 hours and is a great option for peeps on the go. 

PMS Gummies

Popping one chewable gummy every day can make your periods more manageable. The vitamin B6 present in it can restore your hormonal balance. Other natural ingredients like Dong Quai (female ginseng) and lemon balm can help you stay energetic and keep mood swings at bay. With regular use, they promise to control bloating and acne as well. 

These pocket-friendly products are quite convenient to carry around and can drastically change the period game for you. Keep them handy for easy-breezy, and comfy periods.
