Every woman knows how it feels to wake up in the morning and get that absolutely gutted feeling that Aunt Flo is coming to pay you her routine visit. Of course, chocolate helps, but no amount of sympathy, stretching, meditation or even painkillers is going to make the discomfort go away. Couple what is already brewing biologically in your body with uncomfortable sanitary napkins, sleep deprivation, stress and an overall less than ideal lifestyle and you have a recipe for disaster.
Now, I’m not here to tell you to go on a strict hormone balance diet or workout regularly or practice yoga during your menstrual phase (all good things, but let’s be real, it’s easier said than done). What I am here to do is hook you up with some bomb-ass products available on the Indian market that will help you feel more comfy and cosy during your period and minimise discomfort and pain, no matter how chaotic your life gets. We’re fortunate to be living in a time, where the menstrual wellness market is growing and developing like an arrow from a bow and I’ll be damned if I don’t take full advantage of it. Read on to see how you can, too.
Qurist Periodaid Capsules
This potent capsule holds the power to intimidate your cramps into hiding. With a blend of CBD, THC and ginger, it is an all-natural alternative to painkillers. It keeps cramps and spasms in check and supports hormone balance. However, these capsules do need to be used with caution because they are meant to tackle quite a high severity of symptoms.

Nushu Reusable Period Underwear
Like. A. Freaking. Cloud. That’s the only way I can describe these buttery soft panties. They have a beyond adequate padding that comes in 3 variations to handle every woman’s flow. I promise you won’t have to worry about staining, leaking or rashes because these handle upto 6 pads worth of blood. You don’t have to change frequently and they just need a good rinse before you pop them into your washing machine. I haven’t even though of looking back at any chemically-loaded sanitary napkins, tampons or anything intrusive after switching to these.

Nua Cramp Relief Patches

It’s perfect for on-the-go relief because you literally just have to stick it onto your lower abdomen and let it do the rest. It’s also all-natural and safe for sensitive skin.
