Personal Sticking with the motherhood theme, let’s get really personal and dive into a monthly ritual that only women are fortunate enough to experience - our periods. Besides the hormonal rollercoaster and physical side effects of Aunt Flow, the economic and environmental cost of our period is astronomical. It is estimated that the average woman uses more than 10,000 pads and tampons throughout her menstrating life time, costing upwards of $5,000. Unfortunately, these products are often made or laced with toxic chemicals such as plastics, that wreak havoc on the environment as they slowly decompose. There hasn’t been a more comfortable alternative until now! You may be familiar with the diva cup or other menstrating cups, which have mixed reviews… this is even better!! If you haven’t yet heard about or tried Think underwear, you must! Combining leak-proof technology, capable of holding 36mL which is up to 4 tampons(!!) along with comfortable body flattering shapes in prints that are adorable, you won’t want to period any other way ever again. And to continue the theme, I expect them to be especially helpful postpartum. While the concept of freely bleeding into your underwear sounds intimidating at first, I promise you that it feels amazing. And instead of feeling like you are wearing a diaper or having to constantly readjust a tampon string or cup, you feel dry the entire time and the underwear fits like a normal pair. Honestly, we cannot say enough good things. Go forth and free bleed! It is life changing on every level.
