Helpful Tips for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you know that the wrong choice can turn a period into a week of discomfort. I’ve been there, and I know how frustrating irritation and rashes can be.

Whether you prefer a menstrual cup, tampons, or pads, the key is breathability and safe materials. I’ve selected the most popular, 'skin-approved' items from each category to help you build a routine that keeps your skin calm. You don’t have to compromise on protection to stay irritation-free. With the right materials, you can have both.

Sensitive Skin Hygiene Checklist:

  • Change often: Regardless of the product, change your pad, tampon, or cup frequently. This prevents moisture buildup, which is the #1 cause of irritation.
  • Keep it clean: Always wash your intimate area before switching products. If you're on the go, our travel-friendly wipes are a lifesaver.
  • Skip harsh soaps: Avoid alkaline or scented soaps. Use our fragrance-free intimate hygiene foam designed to maintain your natural pH balance.
  • Cup care: Always sterilize your menstrual cup after every cycle. Store it in its breathable cotton pouch (included with your cup) to allow for proper airflow.
  • Follow the guide: Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for wear time and care to ensure you're using each product safely and effectively.
  • Avoid synthetic undies: Wear breathable cotton or Tencel™ underwear whenever possible. Avoid synthetic fabrics during your period to let your skin breathe.
  • Listen to your body: If you feel any unusual discomfort, don’t ignore it — it’s your skin's way of telling you that your current routine might need a small adjustment.
