\"Be<\/a>What\u2019s not to love about a challenge, especially a healthy one? We enjoy hearing about various challenges, that is why when we heard of Marysville\u2019s annual Healthy Communities Challenge Day<\/a> we immediately joined in!<\/p>\n

Every year Marysville hosts a community event filled with interactive activities, fitness demos, and live entertainment focusing on fitness, nutrition and healthy lifestyles. This year, we were thrilled to be included in the fun!<\/p>\n

A big part of our mission at www.bepreparedperiod.com is to educate girls and women on healthier feminine hygiene product options. Many are not aware of organic<\/a>\/natural options or eco-friendly menstrual cups<\/a>, products that can truly help women achieve a Better Period. So this opportunity or \u201cchallenge\u201d to help educate families on healthy options was right up our alley!<\/p>\n

And thanks to our awesome friends at Instead Softcup<\/a> & Maxim Hygiene<\/a>, we were able to add another layer of fun…prizes (goodie bags)!!!<\/p>\n

After participants spun our trivia wheel (directed by the inspiration of Be Prepared Period) or guessed which tampon was made from organic vs conventional materials they would receive a goodie bag filled with samples and informative brochures. \"Trivia<\/a><\/p>\n

It was exciting to see that even though 90% of our visitors weren’t familiar with alternative options, 70+% were willing to make the switch\/try a new\/healthier type of product. (And what better way to try new products than to receive FREE samples!)<\/p>\n

In addition to our fun activities we also held a giveaway for one of our stores newest additions, The Summer Sampler<\/a>. A kit that contains 6 products from 3 different brands. (Another great way to try multiple products without investing in a full box of something with the fear of not liking it.) Congratulations to our winner, Danielle!<\/p>\n

\"Summer<\/a><\/p>\n

So, after:<\/p>\n

– Introducing hundreds of women to new products<\/p>\n

– Educating families on alternative\/healthier options<\/p>\n

– Raising Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)<\/a> awareness<\/p>\n

– Helping parents understand the importance of early puberty education<\/a><\/p>\n

– and so much more (including a lot of fun)…<\/p>\n

…we have to mark this challenge: COMPLETE!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
