Get on your way to a better period with a combination of the following:
Period underwear
Modibodi
Modibodi is my personal favourite period underwear brand. You can’t go past the quality of their product, their impressive range of products, their experience and expertise in the period underwear market and their wholesome brand.
An Australian, female-founded brand that has since gone global. Don’t worry if you’re not in Australia, Modibodi ships all around the world, with specific US and European hubs as well, with free shipping available in a range of countries when you spend a certain amount or have a discount code.
Thinx
Another huge player in the period underwear market is US based Thinx. Launched at virtually the same time as Modibodi, they also have experience and expertise in the period underwear market and a great range of products as well.
Bonds
Certainly not a new entrant to the underwear market, Bonds is an iconic, century-old, Australian underwear brand that very recently launched a range in the period underwear space.
This has been a huge step in normalising period underwear to the previously unacquainted as Bonds have a very loyal fan base. They have some really cool prints and funky, typical Bonds styles, but do sell out quickly.

Menstrual cups
Ruby Cup
Ruby Cup is more than just a menstrual cup brand. They’re a business with purpose. Ruby Cup operate a Buy-One, Give-One model, which means, for every Ruby Cup purchased, they donate a Ruby Cup via their team of trainers and partners in one of their programme countries around the world. Their Buy-One, Give-One program operates in 11 countries around the world, where there are girls who do not have access to period products and menstrual health education. Ruby work to change this for those girls.
Ruby Cup is also one of the only menstrual cup brands that offer a money back guarantee. This is especially helpful if you are trying out a menstrual cup for the first time and you’re not sure if it will be right for you.

Dot Cup
Dot Cup is also a special menstrual cup brand and they too, operate a Buy-One, Give-One model. Dot Cup is a US Based, female founded company. I love their product. Their menstrual cup is a stylish, sleek, black cup and it comes with the coolest storage pouch.

Courses
There’s a course for everything these days, including your period! Here are some great courses that are available to help you through specific areas of concern:
Debunking Ovulation
This Debunking Ovulation masterclass from Nat Kringoudis was really eye-opening for me and so, so helpful in understanding when I’m fertile, how to identify when I’ve ovulated and how to keep track of my cycle. So, if ovulation has got you confused, or you’re wanting to come off the pill but freaking out at the thought of falling pregnant or you’re just wanting to take control of your health and understand your body on an excitingly new level, then this course is for you.
Debunking Ovulation will have you punching the air as it digs in deep to answer all your ‘womanly’ questions and give you a new sense of confidence around your own wellbeing.
Presented in two 30 minute segments, you’ll learn how to really read and decode the signs of your body and symptoms around ovulation, health and fertility. Nat teaches you how to make or NOT make a baby and the importance of understanding your own unique cycle.
The masterclass will cover:
How to understand your menstrual cycle – for conception and contraception
How to fully understand and pinpoint ovulation
Alternatives to Contraception
Diet and lifestyle factors affecting health and fertility
and most importantly – that fertility isn’t just about babies!
