 What Health Class Didn't Teach Us About Periods

The 101 on periods we ALL need. Welcome to the Pulse Lab, today we're learning about Auntie Flo! Forget the stigmas and let's get real about what's going on every 28 days including hormones, blood clots, how to insert a tampon, and more. At the Honey Pot Company, we believe in unfiltered education so let's get into it. More questions about your menstrual cycle?! Drop them below and see you for episode 2 when we learn about the science behind period discomfort.

The Science Behind Your Period Discomfort

Cramps, constipation, headaches, fatigue, acne, backaches...did we forget any period symptoms? Humans with vaginas have to handle period discomfort every menstrual cycle, and it's time we talked about why. Tune in to learn about the science behind what you're feeling. If you have more questions about your period drop them below! Don't be shy, we're here to discuss it all without stigmas or shame.

What the pHuck is pH?

It's printed on shampoo bottles, body wash, and all the gynecologists keep talkin' about it...but what is pH?! When it comes to maintaining your vaginal and overall wellness, it all comes back to this measure for your microbiome. We've brought in an OBGYN, Dr. Renita F. White, MD to answer all of our burning questions (sometimes literally) on what affects and supports your pH balance. PS: It's not douching.

About 6 - 12 months before starting your first period is the lovely phase of getting discharge for the first time...or what many remember as when we decided to do our own laundry. 😅 But what really is discharge?! It's the soap of the self-cleaning oven because our vagina is a complex organ with an ecosystem that keeps it balanced and healthy! Today we're learning the basics about our self-cleaning organ and this means for our vaginal and vulva care (like do we need a wash?!).
