No pain, no discomfort, no leakage, no disruptions.
This is the stuff that happy period dreams are made of, right? Except for some fortunate souls, who glide through their shark week like it’s no big deal, it is a reality. As for the majority of us “that time of the month” translates into a hullabaloo of cramps, mood swings, acne, bloating, and whatnot. According to a 2018 study, more than 75% of women have an irksome, routine-disrupting period. So, chances are that you will relate hard to what comes next.
Here’s a heartfelt rant against the monthly curse that derails us from our regular routine and makes us commit a zillion murders in our heads. These six struggles are something we all go through courtesy of our notorious hormones before and during our periods. Read, enjoy, and let out the frustration. Here we go:
Your Walk Funny
If you’re a heavy-flow chica, layering your pads could very well be your go-to period hack. But wearing multiple pads to combat the blood flood is no easy feat. It can add to your discomfort, create a sweaty swamp between your legs, make you walk like a duck, and give you rashes. The worst part? Despite the pain, you may still leak! So here’s an idea sir ji: How about switching to Sirona’s Menstrual Cup instead? This device can hold up to 28 ml of period blood in one go. FYI, you tend to shed 30-40 ml of blood during the entire cycle. Naturally, the cup will sort it all out by offering leak-proof protection for 8 hours straight. All this, while keeping you super comfy.
Your Washroom=Dhobi Ghat
Your vital fluids can be quite a curse for all those cute lingerie pieces sourced with such high hopes. So you may find yourself donning the washerman’s cap to get rid of the stains while you’re already in pain and battling discomfort. While switching to cups can take away all your leakage woes, you can keep Sirona’s Antibacterial Period Stain Remover to clean your blood-smeared garments in a jiffy. It’s hard on the stains, but super-gentle on the fabric and it’ll make your washroom less dhobi ghat and more pleasant paradise.
You’re In A Constant State Of Doubt
Whether you got some action during the month or stayed high and dry, you may still doubt if you’re preggers when your due date’s long gone. This is a constant struggle for those with irregular periods. But guess what? You can combat this issue by popping Sirona’s PMS Gummies every day. This supplement is packed with natural ingredients like vitamin B6 and chasteberry. They are known to regularise periods and alleviate PMS symptoms like cramps, bloating, fatigue, and mood swings.
You Pop Painkillers Like Toffees
From head to back to your abdomen, periods can lead to excruciating pain in all these areas, making it difficult for you to get out of bed. Now, your natural instinct may be to reach out for painkillers to feel better. But do you know that these drugs can hamper your vital organs like heart, kidney, and liver? So, here’s a side-effect way to combat the pain–Sirona’s Feminine Pain Relief Patch. These discreet strips can be stuck on any area in pain and work like a soothing balm during those tough times. They’re packed with natural pain-relieving ingredients like menthol and eucalyptus oil and have no side effects whatsoever.
For period-induced headaches, you can count on Sirona’s Herbal Headache Relief Patch. Again, no side effects, all-natural, and super-effective.
You Become Sluggish
Surely, the loss of blood and hormonal changes have a part to play in the fatigue that you experience while on your period. But poor quality sleep can add to the exhaustion and make you sluggish. Now, we know that all the blood spurts and leakages can make it really difficult to get proper sleep at night. But you can use Sirona’s Dry Comfort Panty Liners for an extra layer of protection against leakages. These wafer-thin pads can keep your undies and bedsheets safe without making you feel like you’re wearing an extra layer. So, you can sleep in peace and cleanliness.
You’re Terrified Of Using A Public Washroom
Blame it on the fear of dirtying the toilet seats or on the embarrassment of causing malodour, using public loos on your period can be quite daunting. But there, there, we’ve got this covered too. You can use Paper Toilet Seat Covers from Sirona’s PeeBuddy range of toilet hygiene products. Made with biodegradable material, these can be flushed after use and prevent any direct contact with the toilet seat.
As for the odour, you can keep PeeBuddy’s Before & After Toilet Spray handy. One spritz can kill 99.9% of germs on any surface and deodourise the cubicle as well.
These struggles are as real as they get. But the good part is that we already have an antidote for all your period-related woes. Don’t forget to take this survey for more info on these helpful period aids.
