Dance, PhD\n\nCan Tampons Cause Cramps? Detox Your Period for Pain Relief<\/strong>\n\nFor many women, periods come with a host of discomforts: cramping, headaches, fear of leaks<\/a>, back pain, and maybe even leg pain. As someone who was diagnosed with endometriosis<\/a>, a painful pelvic pain condition, in my teens, I have experienced countless painful periods<\/a> and have been on the search for relief. I have finally found the perfect combination of essential oils, aromatherapy-infused heating pads, and stretches that bring me comfort.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/detox-your-period-for-pain-relief-pinterest-II.jpg” alt=”detox your period for pain relief” _builder_version=”4.0.11″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]Then I wondered, what if my period products were adding to my discomfort during my period?\n\nRecent studies have uncovered the ingredients and components of common period products<\/a>. The top selling brands typically utilize chlorine, synthetic fibers, plastics, rayon, and dioxins. Having these substances against our skin and inserted into our vaginas puts women at risk for inflammatory diseases and increased pelvic pain.\n\nKnowing that these materials are alarming women across the world, companies have started to provide \u201cpure\u201d and \u201cclean\u201d versions of their products. Unfortunately, the toxic versions are still on the market, and the cleaner versions are up-priced, making healthy choices a burden rather than a convenience.\n\nFor women who suffer from painful periods, or those living with chronic pelvic pain and inflammatory illnesses, exploring alternative period products can promote a more natural period experience.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.0.11″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]In an effort to begin exploring eco-friendly and toxic-free menstrual products, Be Prepared Period, asked me to explore using different menstrual cups (Diva Cup<\/a> and Softcup<\/a>) during my periods.

I was curious but hesitant and waited a year before finally making the purchase. Could there really be a panty that wouldn\u2019t leak onto my clothes? The answer was yes!
