September 4, 2023 is Sexual Health Day! In this context, you might immediately think of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV. However, there are far more sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) than these; more than 30 different STIs to be exact. The term “sexual health” also includes not only physical health and therefore protection against STIs, but there is much more to it: it is about well-being with regard to sexuality. This means both safe sex and rights or social views. In this blog post we want to inform you a little better about sexually transmitted diseases. We will answer your questions about what STIs there are, what signs indicate STIs, how you can prevent them and much more.

Period underwear can be really practical! Thanks to the all-rounder, you always have period products at hand. So you can finally say goodbye to those annoying moments when your period has decided to show up unplanned and of course there are no tampons or pads in sight. Your last-minute shopping at the supermarket or drugstore is a thing of the past, because the period panties are in the bathroom cupboard and don't have to be bought again like disposable products. The advantages of sustainable panties are clear, but one thing may have already concerned you: hygiene. That's exactly why we want to take a closer look at the question of how hygienic period underwear really is in this blog post.

Every person is unique. This is also reflected in the course of the period for menstruating people, as this is not always the same. Individual differences in terms of duration, strength and cycle length are completely normal. The question has probably come to your mind at some point: “Is my bleeding over now, or is there still something to come?”. You may sometimes find it difficult to determine when your period actually begins and ends, for example due to spotting. In this blog post we will explain to you when you can count the first day of your period, how you can recognize the end of your period and what time frame the length of your period should normally be.

And suddenly your period stops - cause for concern or just normal? The missed period, which is also known in technical terms as amenorrhea, can have a variety of causes. It's the same with an irregular cycle. Since these causes can be harmless but also worrying, it is important to get to the bottom of the matter.

The birth is over and now it is time to get as much rest as possible to regain your strength and to be able to concentrate fully on the newborn. During the postpartum period, breastfeeding is of course also a top priority.days This raises the question for many mothers as to what is best to eat or drink and what should be avoided during breastfeeding. Are there even products that promote milk production? We would like to answer these and other questions about the postpartum period in today's blog post.

The newborn has been born and now it's time to get to know each other. The mother-child relationship is further developed immediately after birth and a lot of physical closeness ensures trust and security for the baby. Of course, the new mother first has to recover after the birth. This is not always easy because she will notice changes in her body even after the birth. Milk and postpartum flow are just two of the things that begin in the postpartum period. It is not uncommon for postpartum depression or postpartum fever to occur. In this blog post we will tell you why this is the case, how long the possible problems last and what you can use during the postpartum period.

Have you ever wondered why period underwear is so expensive? It may even be that the price is stopping you from buying it. But even if a pack of pads or tampons for 2-4 euros initially seems cheaper than a pair of panties for around 30 euros, using period underwear is ultimately more profitable. Period underwear can be reused for several years, whereas you have to buy disposable products again and again. With this blog post we want to explain to you how expensive menstrual products really are and what you should know about period underwear so that you are well prepared for purchasing these products.

It's finally summer! You can hardly wait to cool off in the cold water? But one worry may ruin your dream: your period. Maybe you've ever wondered whether you can even go swimming during your period. We have the perfect answer for you because there is absolutely nothing wrong with going swimming during your period. No matter whether it's the sea, pool or outdoor pool - despite your period, you can cool off anywhere.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you didn't have to use menstrual products at all? This might sound like an impossible scenario at first. However, there are actually menstruators who do not use period products despite bleeding. This method behind it is called free bleeding. It's quite trendy at the moment. But this trend is also suitable for the stressful everyday life that many menstruating people are exposed to? So that you can get an idea for yourself about what free bleeding is and what advantages and disadvantages the whole thing entails, we will inform you in our blog post everything you should know about free menstruation (free bleeding). 

Did you know that a menstruating person uses around 17,000 tampons in their lifetime? We at Taynie find this very shocking. At the same time, however, we also know that many menstruating people prefer to use tampons rather than period panties, cloth pads or menstrual cups during their period. That's why we sell sustainable cotton fabric tampons in our shop that don't have to be thrown away after use, but can be washed and reused. In our blog post we want to tell you everything about cloth tampons and show you what advantages they have compared to conventional tampons.

As if out of nowhere, a wave of heat hits your face and your armpits become moist: the annoying phenomenon of hot flashes becomes noticeable. Especially now, with the already high summer temperatures, you can certainly do without them. Although hot flashes are known to many, there is often still a certain amount of confusion about the topic. This is particularly due to the inhibited communication about hot flashes. After all, many people are uncomfortable talking about sweat. We would like to show you that this is a completely normal symptom by informing you about the triggers of hot flashes and giving you tips on how you can counteract them.

Cold feet can lead to diseases of the mouth, nose and throat, bladder infections and vaginal infections. The reason: Cold feet lower the temperature of the mucous membranes through signals from nerve bundles.
