You have discharge? This is completely normal. It is also completely normal for many people to stick a panty liner in their panties in the morning so that the discharge doesn't end up in their underwear. The panty liner goes into the trash can afterwards and the next day you dig into the panty liner package again. This is clearly detrimental to the environment. What is often not considered, however, is that disposable panty liners should not be worn all day. Because they also have many disadvantages in terms of health. In this blog post you will find out why panty liners should not be worn every day and what disadvantages this entails. And don't worry, your discharge doesn't have to end up in your panties: we have alternatives for you!

Stopped the pill and “back to normal”? False alarm. Many people assume that they will stop taking the pill and that their body will immediately go back to the same level as before taking the pill.

In common language we then talk about “post-pill syndrome”. If you haven't heard of it yet and would like to find out more about the cause, duration and treatment of the symptoms?

Disposable tampons are still the most popular period product today. But popular does not necessarily mean harmless to health. The sentence “A tampon should not be worn at night.” You may have heard this before and asked yourself why that is the case.

It is not without reason that it is often called “tampon disease”. But not only tampons, but also disposable pads are not the best choice at night. Today we want to tell you why it's better to avoid these products at night and what sustainable alternatives you can use.

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.

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.
