Are there any plans to introduce a reusable applicator for the larger tampon sizes, the orange and purple? I love the applicator, but mainly use the ultra and super plus extra which don’t fit. It’s just too messy without any applicator, particularly when I’m out and about. Thanks

Hey Vicki. How can i explain to my mom that i need to change my pad every 3-6 hours, she says 2 pads for a whole day are enough, but i use 4 pads for the whole day. She tells me to buy the cheap pads instead of the pads i buy (Lillets teens and bodyform) cuz apparently i change my pad every hour. And also tells my that i should use like one type (e.g lillets teens long or bodyform long). Plz help me, ive tried to explain but she doesnt listen.

Yesterday I went shopping with my dad (I have two dads) and I told him a few days before that I had run out of pantyliners (I also don't have my period) and we were about to pass the period section but he stopped moving and walked into the front of the section and he said are these the ones you need? He picked up pantyliners so I said yes. I felt super awkward is it normal to feel like periods and things like that are unnatural?

I've had one tiny tiny drop of blood so small you can barely see it. Only one of them everyday. I'm not quite sure what to do.

Hiii! Omg your pouch for periods are soo good My school supplies them and when i first got my period i was so afraid but then i read the guide and it really helped show me! The thing i really like most is the diffrent varieties of pads and the guide. And when do you get discharge? Like everyday? Or just after/before your perioid?

I am free bleeding rn and it makes me feel so euphoric due to my gender identity, but I can only do this cuz it's the last day of my period and that is the only day when I can depend on my period to not gush, do you have any ideas for ways that I could stay leak free whilst not wearing a pad? My periods are too heavy for liners btw

I find that sometimes pads might make me a bit uncomfortable down there, like when you have something annoying rubbing against you and you can't get it right and it always makes my vulva feel a bit weird but idk other ways. I use tampons at home sometimes but I am scared to use them in public. What should I do?

Hi, recently ive got a crush on a boy (im a girl). Ive known him for about 2 years now but ive always thought of him as a competitor (the only time i see him is at competitions) and now i really like him. Btw, this is my first crush. We're both in yr8 but he goes to a different school. I don't know much about him but i like him because he's obviously quite smart. I ve liked him for about 3 weeks and so far ive already had 2 dreams about him. I think my mum might know that i like him but i don't really want to discuss it. I really wanna tell him but im really shy and i don't think that now is the time. I keep imagining in the future that we'll be together but i know it's probably not gonna happen. What do i do?
