My sexy red present arrived... ๐
I just got in, actually I ran in the door because my period (aka red present ๐) arrived a day early.
My current reality:
๐ sore boobs
๐ extreme bloating
๐ฉ cramps
๐ bleeding
Thanks to one of the funniest female artists I know Harriet Rock for this MEGA t-shirt that she gave me to wear, I thought today was so apt and it cheered me up to put it on. Iโm celebrating my bleeding not hiding it babes! ๐ฅณ
During my school days it was all hush hush, Feminax it away and shove a Tampax up that contains bleach and chemicals that could cause TSS. ๐ต
Also ladies most of our sanitary products donโt biodegrade as easily as youโd think so theyโll happily outlive your existence on this earth which, when you think about it is pretty gross and not the legacy I wanna leave behind! ๐คข
Iโm so glad there are now independent brands now offering us easy alternatives, like mail order OHNE who are serving up some bloody realness with their fully organic tampons that biodegrade and also CBD drops to stop cramping which I cannot wait to try. ๐ป
I also found out today about DAME. who offer a super hygienic reusable applicator so I need to get on that too. ๐คฉ
The last thing we need is poison up in the middle of our creation centre whether we are birthing ideas or babies! So if youโre female and bleed definitely donโt put it off and research alternatives. ๐ช๐ฝ
Also if we take the power away from the big boys and into the hands of the independents who are championing the protection of female bodies I think thatโs money well spent, personally! ๐ธ
Okay rant over. Iโm off to bed with a hot water bottle and a load of vegan chocolate. Oh itโs just lipstick on the tip of this tampon, not blood for those who are squeamish ๐ #mytimeofthemonth
