Product Information

But what’s with the heavy bleeding? When ovulation doesn’t occur, the uterus doesn’t know it’s time to shed its lining, and so your period may not arrive on cue like it should. This looks different for everyone with PCOS, as some people experience a regular cycle with no issues and will bleed every 28 days, while others may only have a period every 30-40 days, making it much heavier. Or they may not get a period at all. We also share the ECB’s innate drive to keep improving and evolving, achieving new levels of success while having a positive impact on the world around us. We are hugely proud to be partnering with such a prestigious institution and cannot wait to get started.”

It is understood that eating magnesium-rich foods can help fight the fatigue and low libido associated with this time in your cycle. Add foods like spinach and pumpkin seeds to your diet, and *cue the trumpets* dark chocolate! I am a firm believer in representation and equality in all walks of life, particularly in entrepreneurship. Giving women the platform to build up their ideas is essential, and there is still so much work to be done on this front. Firstly, don’t panic. If your tampon has shed a small amount of fibre then your body will probably expel it naturally from your vagina. No effort required. Our bodies are clever like that! There are different intensities of PCOS, but if you have the condition, your cycle most likely works a little differently to others; each month, a follicle matures and is released by an ovary to be fertilised, but if you have PCOS you may have high levels of androgen hormones (like testosterone) which interfere with ovulation. This hormone imbalance causes the follicle not to develop or release, and instead it just stays put in the ovaries.

The brand will also sponsor Festival Republic’s Latitude, TRNSMT and Edinburgh Summer Sessions next year. Our founder & CEO @daniellaperi wants to quit talking about that period and shine a light on the full menstrual cycle ✨🥚👿🩸 Many people with PCOS have an imbalance in hormones, specifically testosterone, luteinising hormone, sex-hormone binding globulin and prolactin. Our formula includes NAC, vitamin B6 and zincto help balance these hormones. As well as vitamins B2, B3 and B5, important support for the liver to process excess hormones.

Each hormone affects blood sugar and sensitivity to insulin differently. Let’s look at the whole cycle, starting with the first day of your period. We initiallystarted as an online tampon subscription service, though today we are very much a full-cycle brand with products that cater to the entire menstrual cycle. The National Basketball Association (NBA) has called on the services of rapper and producer AJ Tracey to be the voice of its UK campaign to promote the 2021 playoffs. There’s a lot to think about in this phase, but there are a few foods that can help with the above, like oatmeal, soybeans, lentils, poultry, peppers and oranges. The Ovulation Phase Another to watch out for is polyester, which is essentially plastic. It’s made from crude oil… need we say more?! Keep polyester far away from your delicate lady bits to avoid potentially damaging chemicals on your skin.We’re reimagining the entire menstrual cycle, from the energetic follicular phase to the troublesome luteal phase and beyond, to make sure you (yes, you) have the ability to take full control of every symptom your cycle throws at you. How? By tuning in to what your body needs at all times, and giving it exactly that. And if you’re thinking “wait, but how do I know what my body needs?!”... that’s what your personalised Yoppie dashboard is for. We’re helping you tune in to your cycle It’s all about those pesky hormones. Estrogen and progesterone control both your menstrual cycle and your blood glucose, so when you experience fluctuations in your blood sugar levels it can often be attributed to a certain point in your monthly cycle. When estrogen and progesterone are at their highest level, they affect insulin, which is also a hormone. This can cause your blood glucose to rise if your body becomes more resistant to the effects of insulin. Phewf! We were worried for a second there. It’s OK though ladies, you can use these ones even if you’re not yet blessed with a husband. Joking aside, this ad clearly came about as a result of the misinformation around virginity at the time; it was widely thought that by using a tampon, you could break your hymen (a thin piece of skin that partially covers the entrance to the vagina) and no longer be a virgin. Sainsbury’s new tagline ‘Helping Everyone Eat Better’ has been shared for the first time in its latest campaign. If you have any questions or concerns about how your blood glucose levels are affected by fluctuating hormones during your menstrual cycle, talk to your GP about how they can help you better understand what your body is doing, effectively monitor your levels, and stay healthy.
