DId you know your Vulva can change color when aroused? 🔥⁠
⁠
As more estrogen and more blood flows to the vaginal area, your vulva may become swollen. The color of your vulvar skin and the opening of your vagina may darken, from red to red-brown. In some rare cases, a vulva can actually look a bit blue.⁠
⁠
🔗 But there are plenty other reasons vulvas can change color. Click the link in bio to find out! 👆⁠

‼️HELP! My disc is stuck! 🥴

Not to worry, we have the tips you need for an easy removal ☺️

☑️ First, when removing the disc, gently bear down as if you’re going No.2. By actively engaging your pelvic floor muscles, you’re helping the disc move from behind your pubic bone.

☑️ Second, if you need extra help, try doing a deep squat. By effectively shortening your vaginal canal, it will be easier to reach for the disc. 💯

Fueling your body right can make a real difference during your menstrual cycle. 🌱🥦🍇⁠
⁠
Opting for nutrient-rich foods can help alleviate cramps, boost energy levels, and balance mood swings. ⁠
⁠
🌱 Consider incorporating leafy greens like spinach and kale into your meals; these are high in iron and can combat fatigue often experienced during menstruation. ⁠
⁠
🥜 Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are excellent sources of magnesium and can contribute to easing cramps.⁠
⁠
🌾 Opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce mood swings.⁠
⁠
What you eat matters, and choosing the right foods can turn your period week into a more comfortable and enjoyable experience ⁠
