FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/p>\n
SEATTLE \u2014 Be Prepared. Period. has launched their brand new website and are echoing the sentiments of their fans by hailing it as \u201cA one stop shop for all things menstrual.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tara Bruley, Seattle area mom, health & environmental enthusiast and founder of www.bepreparedperiod.com<\/a> said she created the website to help girls of all ages have a \u201cBetter Period.\u201d<\/p>\n “In a culture of menstrual misinformation and societal taboos, Be Prepared Period is a welcomed resource for girls, women and parents alike. From eco-friendly products to monthly educational chats, every facet of Be Prepared is designed to inform and empower \u2013 even celebrate. With constant, compassionate advice and updates, it truly is a platform like no other for menstruation and transition from puberty; indeed, it will help all readers Be Prepared!\u201d boasts Heather Guidone, Surgical Program Director at the Endometriosis Research Center.<\/p>\n Bruley states, \u201cPeriods are a topic many are still uncomfortable talking about openly, which is what hinders many from learning how to have a healthier menstrual cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n Keeping the needs of so many in mind, \u201cveteran menstruators” to girls experiencing menarche, www.bepreparedperiod.com has rapidly grown to be the comprehensive menstrual resource it is today. Initially starting as a site offering 1st period kits and information for parents and developing girls, it quickly grew to also be a resource for women looking to improve their menstrual health.<\/p>\n Their resources include, helpful articles on a variety of topics including puberty (with articles just for dads), first periods<\/a>, PMS, PMDD, PCOS, toxic shock syndrome, endometriosis and more. A \u201cPeriodTalk Q&A Forum,\u201d \u2013 promoted as a safe place for parents, women of all ages, teens and pre-teens to communicate about topics they may be embarrassed to discuss elsewhere, plus online events like free, educational webinars, monthly tweet chats and product giveaways are among other offerings found at www.bepreparedperiod.com.<\/p>\n \u201cMy favorite part about the work we do is educating ladies on healthy menstrual alternatives. Ladies today are lucky to live in a time with so many products to choose from, unfortunately too many are unaware these products exist or realize their awesome benefits. It\u2019s astounding to hear how many women suffer from common period problems like cramps, leaks, allergic reactions and heavy flow due to conventional product use.\u201d<\/p>\n Bruley goes on to say, \u201cA one stop shop wouldn\u2019t be complete without the \u2018shop.\u2019\u201d www.bepreparedperiod.com is all about convenience so providing healthy alternatives like menstrual cups, cloth pads and organic tampons which can be difficult to find at local drugstores along with the popular household brands on their site was a must. Taking it one step further, they offer the \u201cUltimate Convenience\u201d with their subscription delivery service that allows customers to select their preferred products and have them delivered when needed.<\/p>\n Aunna Wilson of Washington, D.C. says, \u201cBe Prepared\u2019s mission driven business, working to eliminate menstrual taboos and provide education to girls and women on menstrual health is well received and appropriated. They do not aim to send you products at home because they don\u2019t want you to have to be \u201cembarrassed\u201d to shop for it, rather they provide a wider range of products, with better prices, than those available in stores, all with beautiful packaging, and information, delivered with convenience.\u201d<\/p>\n About Be Prepared.
