5 of The Best Period Products Available Right Now – Daye

Who knew tampons could look so aesthetically pleasing and help sooth periods at the same time? With Daye that’s exactly what you get! At Daye they offer a range of organic tampons as well as ProViotics, CBD Balm and more.

If you’d like to get to know more about Daye, you can head on over to their site which is packed full with information just waiting for you to feast your eyes on – yourdaye.com

Tampon Options

Daye have a few different options when it comes to tampons. They have both CBD infused and Naked tampons meaning you choose what’s right for you.

They both come in two different absorbances, regular and super to make sure you can find the best absorbency for you.

In the UK the legal age for CBD products is 18+ so I wouldn’t recommend the CBD ones to anyone younger than that.

On the Daye website you can take a quiz to find the best box for you to suit your needs. All you have to do is answer a few simple questions and you’ll be given their recommendations.

What I particularly like though is that you have full control over what you get! You can choose how many tampons in each variety you get to build a box that fits your needs.

With your tampons you will also get a free tin, free pouch AND free shipping. How amazing is that?

To give you a rough guide on price as it varies depending on what you’re getting, 8 CBD super absorbency tampons + 2 Naked super absorbency and 8 Naked regular absorbency tampons comes to £12.

That also includes the tin, pouch and free shipping which to me is bloody brilliant.

Period Products on YOUR terms

With your tampons you can sync your subscription to your cycle. You can also cancel at any time, modify, pause or skip whenever you want.

They deliver to UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Portugal but hopefully they expand further in the future.

Not only are the tampons great for you, they are also sustainable which I think is amazing.

Their tampons “are made from sustainably sourced, plastic-free cotton fibres, and their bio-based tampon applicators are made of sugarcane“.

Their packaging “is eco-friendly too, and it’s either water-soluble, compostable, or biodegradable” – I had a lot of fun putting the packaging in water and watching it dissolve.

My Experience

My first impressions of Daye was wow! I honestly couldn’t get over how stunning and aesthetically pleasing both the packaging and the products are.

I couldn’t wait to try the tampons out, as someone who has very heavy periods along with cramps that can cause me to black out at times, I was very intrigued about how the CBD infused tampons could help.

The first tampon I used felt fine, it wasn’t uncomfortable, easy to use and I did feel like it took the edge off the cramps a little.

I wasn’t expecting them to fully take the cramps away but anything to help is a plus considering I get awful cramps.

By the second day my cramps were bearable and I could get up and around instead of feeling confined to my bed with a hot water bottle.

Overall I felt like the CBD tampons done what they said they would in helping to sooth cramps.

I think if you’re someone who gets mild cramps that these would be perfect for helping you feel nothing in the cramps department.

Even if you’re someone like me, who gets awful awful cramps, then I would suggest giving Daye CBD tampons a try as I genuinely enjoyed how they preformed.

Saalt Menstrual Cup

5 of The Best Period Products Available Right Now – Saalt

A more sustainable and eco friendly way to deal with your periods never looked so good. At Saalt they are simplifying period care with reusable menstrual cups and underwear.

About Saalt

Saalt are a feminine care company inspired by real women. They are revolutionising period care with a line of reusable soft silicone cups.

Their aim is to give you freedom from the tampon aisle and saving you tons of money! They want to help cut waste and of course make you feel good at the same time thanks to their high quality products.

Their reusable menstrual cup is worn within the vagina, much like a tampon but it collects your blood rather than absorbing it.

They have two sizes available and can be worn up to 12 hours safely. They are easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store.

We are on a mission to end panicked sprints to the bathroom, sweaters tied around waists, and sleeping on towels. Saalt’s fully sustainable period care will break you and your wallet free of the tampon aisle—forever. No waste. No leaks. No worries.

– Saalt

The Saalt Cup Story

Saalt started with a phone call that founder Cherie made to an aunt in Venezuela.
During the call, she learned that pads and tampons had not been available on
store shelves for years.

Cherie immediately thought of her 5 daughters and what
she would do if she found herself in the same situation. The dependence she and
others had on disposables kept her up at night and so Saalt was born.

Fellow founder Amber came up with the name Saalt because it is symbolic of a
basic, essential element.

Periods too are a basic and essential part of human life.
Cherie and Amber believed the best approach to period care should be just as
distinct, simple and elemental.

They created Saalt with the simple goal to give
women an option to care for themselves and others in a better way.

In 2019 Saalt solidified their mission by becoming a certified B Corporation, and
committing 2% of their revenue to donate period care to regions with the most
need, and helping fund initiatives in menstrual health, education, and
sustainability. – From Saalt Press Release

Saalt are now the world’s first Period Care company to be plastic negative

Saalt has teamed up with RePurpose Global to be the first Plastic Negative period care brand.  Saalt goes beyond just offsetting its own plastic footprint to be Plastic Neutral. Instead, it’s pledging to remove twice as much waste from the environment as is generated in its supply chain or the equivalent of 200% of its plastic footprint by funding the cleanup of low-value plastic waste, that would otherwise be landfilled, burned, or flushed into our oceans every year. Through its partnership with RePurpose Global, Saalt is empowering marginalised workers to better tackle plastic pollution in their communities by providing higher-paying jobs for waste workers and supporting recycling programs for impoverished communities most affected by plastic waste.

– Saalt Press Release

One Saalt cup lasts up to 10 years making this a great alternative to most period products on the market today.

With one cup lasting that long you are going to save a whole bunch of money so not only is it great for the planet as it cuts back on waste, it’s also good for your bank balance.

It is estimated that one Saalt cup saves around £1000! They are also hypoallergenic and chemical free meaning you’re free from any nasties.

The cups are also comfortable to wear and you can be rest assured you’ll be leaving leaks in the past.

The Saalt cup is naturally non-toxic and odour free plus it maintains the body’s natural pH! There is a cup for everybody with Saalt and you can easily find the right one for you by taking a short quiz with simple and easy questions.

The cups come in two firmness options and two size options to make sure you will get the right fit for your needs. Not only do you have options, you can be rest assured that your cup will hold its shape with a reinforced seal to prevent leaks and has a smooth and strong rim to hold its shape.

The Saalt cup also has

• A Gentle Bulb Shape to maximise the seal with three contact points
• Soft grip hold which helps you get a grip on cup life
• Soft flex system for easy removal and comfort
• Cups go through cryogenic deflashing for ultimate smoothness and comfort

My Experience

When I say using a menstrual cup has completely changed my outlook on period care, I mean it. Using the Saalt cup has been a breeze and I am surprised at how unbelievably easy it is to use.

As someone who was always scared to venture away from tampons and pads, I have found using the cup a great experience.

Before using your cup for the first time make sure to put it in boiling water for at least 4-5 minutes to sterilise it.

While boiling, make sure that the cup doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot so using tongs is recommended. All instructions on how to take care of your cup comes in the packaging.

The Saalt cup is super easy to use, it didn’t take me long to get to grips with how to use it thanks to the easy to read instructions and overall it was definitely one of those a-ha moments when I used it the first time.

Knowing that its sustainable and cuts down on waste is one of the biggest positives for me.

Plus, with every cup purchased Saalt donate to HER and Period.org to put girls back in school and women back to work.

So when their period starts, their world doesn’t have to stop as many women and girls in both developing and developed countries don’t have period care which impacts them each month during their period and are often forced to miss school and work.

You also a handy bag to keep your cup in to make sure it keeps clean and can be discreetly kept in your bag. Overall, I love everything about this cup, there really are no negative for me.

I think this would be a great alternative to tampons for teens as well, with some practice I’m sure they would come to absolutely love a menstrual cup.

There’s no risk of toxic shock syndrome, there are no nasties and it’s cheaper than having to buy tampons all the time.

Coming in at £25 for one or £39 for two means you really are saving a whole heap of cash, especially when one cup lasts up to 10 years.

• Would I recommend? For sure!
• Do I think the price point is worth it? Yes, it’s a great price
• Will I be buying from Saalt? I will definitely be buying from Saalt in the future, especially if they bring out new products in the UK!

Modibodi Period & Leak proof underwear

5 of The Best Period Products Available Right Now – Modibodi

A comfy and fuss free way to experience your periods? Yes please! At Modibodi you will be greeted with a whole range of amazing garments that you can use and not only for your periods.

Dealing with ALL leaks for EVERY BODY.

About Modibodi

Modibodi are on a mission to change underwear for the better. Although they are part of the huge market for Period underwear, that’s not where their vision stop.

They are designing and creating underwear that’s leak proof for women to teens to men. Modibodi are delivering innovative apparel that offers protection and support with sustainability and inclusivity.

Not only are they providing underwear, they also have a whole range of products available from undies to swimwear that are available no matter your gender or size. Equality and quality is important to Modibodi and that’s apparent from the get go.

Their products provide a wide range of leak proof protection from period blood, pee, pregnancy and perspiration whilst offering comfort and style.

Since breaking into the UK market, Period Underwear has generated a buzz and become a go to when it comes to eco-periods and sustainable swaps, saving thousands of pads and tampons from ending up in landfills. Creating a shift from disposables, increasing progressive conversations around periods and getting the government to notice that Period Underwear should be VAT free, there is a host of noise on the topic. Brands, like the incredible number one leak and period proof, Modibodi®, are becoming the eco alternative.

– Modibodi

Modibodi are on a mission to create a meaningful impact for not only our planet, but for the consumer as well. Their range offers 6 types of absorbencies from moisture wicking to Maxi 24 hours and they have a bunch of detachable styles for ease of changing which is perfect for those with disabilities or sensory issues meaning their a great all round brand.

Not only that, they also have a maternity range and a vegan range so that you can find the perfect product for you without having to jump through hoops.

No more compromising on comfort or efficiency

With Modibodi you don’t have to compromise. You can get comfort, style and reliability all at the same time. They aim to make their garments look and feel just like regular underwear and I can attest to the fact that’s exactly what they have done.

There are so many different styles to choose from that there truly is something for everyone.

So, how does the underwear work?

The science behind the apparel took years in the making and close to 1000 scientific tests, to make up the patented Modifier Technology®. Made as a three-layer component; a top layer quickly wicks away moisture, fights bacteria and stops odors, a middle layer quickly absorbs fluid and locks it away, and the third bottom layer gives you extra leak-proof protection, ensuring you are at your most secure and confident, with no leaking through to clothes, which means total freedom.

– Modibodi Press release

Striving for change in the world

Not only do Modibodi believe in creating stand out products that work, they are also committed to providing solutions worldwide and helping in the fight against period poverty.

They have a Give a pair scheme on their website which has seen the brand donate over 23,000 pairs of underwear to women and girls in need.

They also undertake fundamental work within UK charities including The Women’s Environmental Network, Brook and Bloody Good Period.

Period underwear has the capacity to drive fundamental change for the environment, significantly improve the quality of life and period dignity for millions of people around the world who may be struggling to access bathrooms or suffer a disability, whilst reducing waste and contributing positively to body confidence

– Kristy Chong, CEO & Founder Modibodi 

My Experience

I have been trying out two different styles of Modibodi underwear. Their Sensual high waist bikini style in colour Azure and the classic boyshort style in colour Morocco.

My personal favourite has been the high waist bikini pair as that’s what I would normally wear anyway and I have to say, I have completely fallen in love with them.

I have also been using the boyshort style now and then but they personally aren’t my sort of style but I do find them comfy and particularly great for wearing overnight as I normally would wear short to bed.

You can really feel the quality in them, not only are the styles nice but I find that they feel very robust.

Having washed both pairs quite a lot before these photos were even taken, I can see that they haven’t washed out any, the fabric is still in pristine condition and they look good as new.

I was a little worried at first as these were the first ever period pants I’ve used and I thought maybe there would be leaking or blood coming through the other side but I am pleasantly surprised at that not being the case.

You genuinely would never be able to tell that I’m wearing period pants and you can’t see any blood on them at all, even when you go to the toilet.

To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. They look amazing, preform well and wash up great.

I also like that on the packaging they have washing instructions to help you get the most out of your pants without compromising the Modibodi technology that makes them leak proof.

I cannot recommend these enough! If you love comfort and want to make the move to a more sustainable period care item, these are for you.

The prices are also quite good in my opinion because once you buy your underwear that’s it, you’ve got them for a long time which cuts the costs on having to go out and buy new products each month which can mount up.

What’s great is these aren’t just for grown-ups, they are for tweens and teens as well so anyone can use them!

• Would I recommend? Definitely
• Do I think the price point is worth it? Yes
• Will I be buying from Modibodi? I already have my eye on a few pairs, so yes

So, how does it work?

You start by telling them a little about your menstrual cycle and product preferences, they are simple questions designed to get a better understanding of your cycle to help recommend the best suitable products for you.

Although they give you recommendations, you have complete control and can add or remove products to make sure it’s the best fir for you.

Once you have curated your period care box, you can sit back and relax, knowing that it will be delivered through your letterbox on a schedule that suits you. It’s sort of like Netflix but for your periods.

What I particularly like is that you choose which products you want or need, there’s isn’t a set box meaning the whole experience really is tailored to you.

Their price varies depending on what you get but to give you a rough idea a box with 8 Regular applicator tampons, 8 Super applicator tampons and 8 Night pads is £12.05 and you get free delivery. So as you can see, it’s an extremely great price!

My Experience

I have loved trying out Yoppie. Their pads are among the only ones that have ever actually stayed in place which is a miracle. I hate those pads that move around and bunch up but with Yoppie I haven’t experienced any of that at all.

Their night time pads are fantastic, comfortable to sleep with and no leakage.

I have also been using their panty liners as well and honestly, they are great too. I use these at that awkward stage of are my periods stopped or are they about to come back out of nowhere.

They are also great if you don’t feel comfortable using tampons without some kind of safety net. The liners are thin, discreet and honestly you don’t even feel like you’re wearing them.

As well as pads and liners, I have also been using their Super Soother capsules which are PMS supplements formulated in collaboration with a qualified nutritionist.

Each capsule contains an impressive blend of herbs, minerals and vitamins to help alleviate the physical symptoms of PMS: cramps and inflammatory responses.

Personally I really like having them as part of my routine and after 56 days of taking the capsules I have definitely noticed a difference in my PMS symptoms.

If you use my referral code YMUDKFNF or unique link, you will get £30 credit to use on 100% organic, subscription period care. Including their nutritionist-formulated PMS supplements!!

• Would I recommend? Yes!
• Do I think the price point is worth it? Definitely
• Will I be buying from Yoppie? Yup! Especially the capsules

BetterCup

5 of The Best Period Products Available Right Now – BetterCup

Taking care of your needs as well as making sure that for every Bettercup sold, one is donated. An amazing sustainable brand on a mission to help both you and the planet, there’s nothing to dislike about Bettercup!

About BetterCup

BetterCup was born from a desire to create a product that is better. Better for you, better for the planet and better for those in need. At BetterCup they believe in creating a better world not only for their consumers but for everyone.

They recognise that period care isn’t a privilege but a BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. There are people around the world who are missing school and using unhygienic means to get through their menstrual cycle and at BetterCup their dream is to put a stop to that.

In the summer of 2019 Brighton-based bettercup founder, mother-of-two Ruth, was already on a journey to make her family home more sustainable, changing daily habits and products, when she began to realise the planet-damaging reality of her period each month. She was fed up with endless disposable sanitary products, knowing that they were all ending up in landfill and our oceans.

– Bettercup

At BetterCup when you buy a cup, a cup is donated to someone who needs it. Their first partnership is one that they feel is particularly special, Hamara Hope School which is a rural farm school in Zimbabwe.

BetterCup founder Ruth’s sister helped to start it and now works at the school, so you can see why this partnership is special to BetterCup.

The school offers education to around 420 local children and teenagers in western Zimbabwe, many of them who survive on a family income of less than $1 per day which makes sanitary pads unaffordable.

By shopping with BetterCup you are helping give the gift of a long term, sustainable and better way of period care to one of these children or teens.

Not only are BetterCup focused on helping those in need, they also have a big focus on customer satisfaction. If after 3 cycles (90 days) you aren’t getting on well with your cup, they can give you a new size to try or refund you.

How amazing is that? So you can feel safe knowing that if it really isn’t for you, you have options.

The BetterCup is perfect for swimming, running and any other exercise and will stay in place and give you peace of mind that there will be no leaks.

The cup can also stay in for up to 12 hours and is completely safe. The cup is made from 100% medical grade silicone and has 0 nasties. There are no dyes, BPA, latex, bleach or plastic! It’s just a pure and simple cup that really does work.

The BetterCup works by collecting your blood rather than absorbing it meaning you won’t experience any dryness and none of your natural body fluids will be absorbed unnecessarily.

The cup is super soft but sturdy, kind to your body and easy to use, especially with all of their info videos, step by step guides and FAQs available on their website.

My Experience

BetterCup was the first menstrual cup I ever used and I will admit, I was very intimidated looking at this silicone cup in my hands. I was so worried that I wouldn’t be able to get the hang of it but thankfully it was super easy.

Before using the cup the instructions say to fully immerse your cup in boiling water for 3 minutes to sterilise it and that’s exactly what I done. First I washed my hands thoroughly, sterilised the cup then I was good to go.

I did read through the instructions but I found having the helpful videos that BetterCup offer were a great way to get to grips with the cup.

After fiddling with it a few times and having a few fumbles along the way, I eventually got the hang of using the cup. Now I can insert and go within a minute which is just jaw dropping because I remember being so worried about it haha.

The cup is soft but robust enough to make sure that it stays in place without any leaks. It’s comfortable to wear and I hardly notice it now.

Overall it’s a great product and I think it’s for sure one of the best period products on the market.

Not only does it make dealing with your periods fuss free, it also means your periods are more sustainable and you’re helping the planet.

• Would I recommend? Definitely
• Do I think the price point is worth it? Oh for sure
• Will I be buying from BetterCup? I do think I’ll be buying from them in the future, especially since they donate a cup for each one sold!
