Period Care Tips Every Woman Should Know

Period Care Tips Every Woman Should Know

A Complete Guide to Comfortable, Confident Menstrual Health

Your period is a natural and powerful part of your body’s rhythm but that doesn’t mean it has to be uncomfortable or stressful.

At Moyo Comforts, we believe every woman deserves to feel clean, confident, and cared for during her cycle. Whether you're new to menstruation or looking to upgrade your routine, these essential period care tips will help you manage your flow with comfort and confidence.


1. Choose the Right Period Products for Your Flow




Not all periods are the same and neither are period products.

Choosing the right product depends on:

  • Your flow (light, medium, heavy)

  • Your comfort preference

  • Your daily activity level

Common options include:

  • Sanitary pads (great for overnight and heavy flow)

  • Tampons (ideal for active days)

  • Menstrual cups (eco-friendly and long-lasting)

  • Period underwear (comfortable and reusable)

💡 Tip: Always change pads or tampons every 4–6 hours to prevent irritation and odor.


2. Prioritize Proper Hygiene

Maintaining hygiene during your period prevents infections and discomfort.

Do:

  • Wash your intimate area with warm water

  • Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers

  • Change products regularly

  • Wear breathable cotton underwear

Avoid:

  • Douching

  • Strongly scented soaps

  • Staying in wet or soiled products too long

Cleanliness is not about “smelling different” it’s about maintaining your body’s natural balance.


3. Stay Hydrated & Eat Iron-Rich Foods

During menstruation, your body loses blood and with it, iron.

Support your body by:

  • Drinking plenty of water

  • Eating leafy greens (spinach, kale)

  • Including beans, lentils, and red meat

  • Enjoying a little dark chocolate (yes, it helps!)

Proper nutrition reduces fatigue, dizziness, and mood swings.


4. Manage Cramps the Smart Way

Cramps are common but suffering in silence isn’t necessary.

Natural relief methods:

  • Warm compress or heating pad

  • Gentle stretching or yoga

  • Light walking

  • Herbal teas (like ginger or chamomile)

If your cramps are severe enough to disrupt daily life, consult a healthcare professional. Pain that feels unbearable may signal underlying conditions like endometriosis or fibroids.


5. Track Your Cycle

Understanding your cycle gives you control.

Use:

  • A period tracking app

  • A simple calendar

  • A journal

Tracking helps you:

  • Predict your next period

  • Prepare supplies in advance

  • Monitor irregularities

  • Understand mood or skin changes

Knowledge about your cycle equals power over it.


6. Get Enough Rest

Your body is working harder during menstruation.

Allow yourself:

  • Extra sleep

  • Slower mornings

  • Reduced physical intensity if needed

  • Gentle self-care rituals

Rest is not laziness it’s hormonal balance support.


7. Know When Something Isn’t Normal

Seek medical advice if you experience:

  • Periods lasting longer than 7 days

  • Extremely heavy bleeding (soaking a pad every hour)

  • Severe pain

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Missed periods without pregnancy

Your body communicates through symptoms listen to it.
