Yeah yeah yeah — consent is cool. But french fri Yeah yeah yeah — consent is cool. But french fries... well, now we’re paying attention. 🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sexual consent is an agreement to take part in a sexual activity. Before getting sexual w someone, you need to know if they want to get sexual w u too. It’s also important to be honest w ur partner about what u want and don’t want. That’s, like, baseline stuff. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, F-R-I-E-S.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Consent is:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Freely Given. 🍟 Not under pressure, not manip’d, not while incapacitated from drugs or booze. 🍸 Reversible. 🍟 Yep, u can take it back. Even if you’ve done it before, even if you’ve been together forever... u can always change ur mind. 🤷🏻 Informed. 🍟 Before u consent, get the full story. Said they’d use a condom and then they didn’t? Yeah, that’s not full consent. 📖 Enthusiastic. 🍟 Yes is best when it’s a HELL YES. 🤩 Specific. 🍟 Just bc u said yes to one thing doesn’t mean u said yes to everything. Tbh we think it’s hot to call-it-by-its-name: e.g., “Can I *blank* ur *blank*?” Maybe u do too. 🔥 So next time before u⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💋👅👁🖐🍉🍆🍓🍑🍌🍈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍟🍟🍟🍟✨

Bet u have too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now imagine it’s that way every time. Imagine that u shut down for a week every month, not just in ur vibes but in ur ability to exist freely bc you’re bleeding freely and yeah, society stigmatizes that. And u have no access to period products, bc they’re not available or affordable. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We dream of a world where period products are free and accessible to everyone who bleeds. But currently, in America, we live in a world where the average menstruator will spend an estimated $1,773 on period products in their lifetime, and 20 states are classing (and taxing) them as a “luxury good”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHAT GIVES?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve gotta end the tampon tax. Not only does it tax menstrual products as non-essential items, it discriminates against mennies by making the maintenance of an everyday part of being a person unaffordable for some, but not all of us, on the basis of whether we bleed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s not taxed?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Prescriptions, some OTCs, TP, condoms, groceries, ED pills + more. What should we do? 🔥 Get the facts. Check our Stories for @aclu’s Menstrual Equity report.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥 Take action.

Here’s why:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ *Working it* can be quite the workout — you’d hydrate after a sprint (or a marathon), no? ✨ Drinking water doesn’t just wet ur whistle; it stands to help out ur ~whole~ bod so you’re prepped for round 2 (or 3, or 4, if you’re into it) ✨ Peeing after sex is indeed a thing and helps flush possible bacteria, so magical; thanks, water ✨ Energy ⚡️⚡️⚡️ We love that for you. Plus it can be in short supply these days, we know. ✨ Water gives you *that glow*: maybe they’re post-coital, maybe they’re just well-hydrated 💅 💧💧💧💧 P.S. Contrary to myths out there, drinking water or jumping up and down or Rickrolling after sex (made that one up) do not prevent pregnancy. Water’s great, but it can’t do everything, ok?! So don’t chance it. Practice safer sex. And fine, listen to Rick Astley. But you’ve gotta do both.

“and now, for your feature presentation...” w “and now, for your feature presentation...” we’re feeling bold tonight, so we’re just gonna say it. the sex you’re having is prob not like sex in the movies. at least, not the ones we grew up seeing on vhs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ be kind, rewind:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ you probably know this, but... sex isn’t always about the orgasm. in fact, it’s often not. tv, books, movies (of all kinds)... we’re thinking rapid-speed undressing, some “passionate” cliché missionary action, a loud steamy O, and a rose-colored sink into the pillows when it’s all said and done. in movie montage speed, it all happens in, like, 5 minutes. tops. tbh we think it does sex a disservice, and more importantly, YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ also, let’s be honest about sheer pressure of it all — what if they O and you don’t? what if your timing’s not what you expected? why have society and culture and the media taught us that Os are transactional (they’re not) and that there’s a right way and a wrong way (there’s not) and that there are so many ways to mess them up (when they’re built on consent and communication, we think there are surprisingly few)? anyway, don’t you have enough boxes to tick in life already?! free your mind from this one, we say 💓 and yes — we can still do so while working to close the too-real orgasm gap. now, let’s talk the other parts. the kissing, the talking, the intimacy, the edging, the play, the countless ways to touch, the sensations, the sheer awkwardness that can be either charming or cringe or both — there’s so much more, and if you’re not seeing it... (again, call us bold) maybe you or your partner(s) need a re-education. call us keeners, but we think that sounds kind of fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ hypothesis: sex without the Great Sexpextation of O is sex that’s more pleasurable. and after all... isn’t that something we all want?

rather than doing the million things on our to-do rather than doing the million things on our to-do list tonight, let’s take a walk thru 🍫🥛 history:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ chocolate milk as we know it was supposedly invented when an irish botanist visiting jamaica in the 1700s had the idea to add milk + sugar to a local cacao drink. he brought it back to his friends + they said cool + shared it w their friends and started carrying it in apothecaries + soon everyone was drinking it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ milkshakes became a *thing* in the 1930s-50s, thanks to the invention of the electric blender in 1922. vitamix, we hardly knew u.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ then came the diner, which was a popular business model bc food was cheap + quick to make, perfect for ppl who were traveling more (thx, transportation!). and in diners they served milkshakes, but most *regular ppl* didn’t yet have blenders so consumer brands got smart + started making chocolate milk powder to simulate an at-home chocolate milkshake experience. enter the most beautiful words in the english language: just-add-milk-and-stir 🍫🥛✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ people got busier in the 70s thx to legalized birth control, which made it possible for more women to work outside the home. (this in the 70s! damn. don’t get us started.) so brands invented “instant” choco milk powders + marketed them as breakfast products. this was also when early energy bars first hit shelves. u get the vibe. a lasting classic was born. we grew up w it. except one day we looked at the back of the box + noticed that aside from cocoa + sugar... well, there really wasn’t much breakfast there at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ at the same time, after pandemicking for months, our moods were way rollercoastery, our skin was meh + we were freaking tired. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ so we took that choco milk nostalgia, paired it w 16g silky smooth hemp heart protein + cocoa + vanilla + maple sugar + made neat-o! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it’s the next gen of 🍫🥛. and ooh, it’s finally HERE.

Why do some of us have the desire to shut people o Why do some of us have the desire to shut people out during our period? 🙅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think of it like this: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Introverts, extroverts — we’ve all got our social days and our antisocial days. But when dopamine dips a few days before we menstruate... it becomes a litttle more challenging for our brains and bods to remember just how good the good stuff really feels, like hanging out w people we like (and/or people we love!). So they stick with what they know, in that moment, aka possibly planted on the couch w low energy. a pint of ice cream and a Period Chocolate. (Thanks for the good times,🍦! Thanks for the good times, CBD!) You know this story. We’ve been there before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Add to that the temporary departure of estrogen and progesterone, who, for all intents and purposes, are normally a pretty great cheer squad. Just you and your cramps, menny.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh, and add to that the circumstances of a pandemic, sooo you might be finding yourself sequestered away for a good week or more every month. Or guarding your you-time, or dragging heels, or canceling plans... you get the idea. So next time you’re Menstrual or Luteal and you feel like staying home for awhile, maybe DO. Put up that screen and pop out a few days later, like the bright shiny sunflower you are. 🌻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recluse, megastar: both versions are you. Ride that duality. Why not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regram from @daughterofthe70s.
Big Q: What’s the diff between perimenopause and Big Q: What’s the diff between perimenopause and menopause, anyway? You’re probably familiar w menopause. If not in the biological sense, you’ve prooobably rolled ur eyes at a misogynistic joke abt what happens when a person’s hormones enter a new phase of life and their periods stop coming. (Lots of feelings abt those tropes. We’ll save that for another post.) So what does the transition look like between having a period and... not having a period? That’s where perimenopause comes in. It’s similar to (first) puberty in that ur bod + feelings may be in for a wild ride as estrogen slows its long-term roll, ovaries prepare for a much-needed vaca, and progesterone becomes a tad less concerned with prepping your ute for the arrival of possible bbs. (Honestly, sounds relaxing to be them.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When these friends start getting flaky tho, they default leave *you* to deal with the mess. That could look like hot flashes, heavier-than-usual periods, periods that show up (or don’t) whenever they choose, sweaty sleepless nights, dry vag!nas, and that textbook classic: MOOD SWINGS. These can go on for years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ALSO. Perimenopause can start as early as your 30s. As if being a Millennial weren’t challenging enough 🙃 Fun times. Maybe ur six-figure student loans and shiny new hot flashes can start going steady. (Kidding!! We see you.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So how do we prepare? How do we deal with it? How do we even know when it’s here?! Like many transitions, it’s hard to pin down when exactly it starts. If you think you’re perimenopausal, a doc can help you explore your symptoms. You can prep by moving ur bod, eating nutrient-dense foods, getting good sleep... And you can *also* prep by loving on ur hormones with Phasey, esp our Moodmilks and Seed Cycle Blends. They were developed w perimeno bods in mind. Estrogen and progesterone may be headed for the beach, but we’re sticking with you.

Every cycle, estrogen and progesterone come and go Every cycle, estrogen and progesterone come and go, come and go... like the Karma Chameleons they are 💅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Estrogen makes you feel goooood. Motivated, radiant, maybe in love with yourself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Progesterone makes you feel… interesting. Some mystery, some magic, sometimes confusing and sad. Estrogen shows up to help make ovulation happen. It’s a natural star 🌟 Once you reach that O... it sticks around for a lil while, albeit much chiller. Progesterone keeps a lower profile until it’s time to prep for pregnancy (or not — that’s when your period enters the room). It has a bachelor’s degree in interior design 😚 Meaning, it makes things *happen* so your uterus can turn into a cozy home. But if the guest doesn’t show up... (y’know, a fertilized egg), it GTFOs. Remember, come and go, come and go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So there you are, lonesome and LUTEAL. During ur Luteal phase, you may find yourself collapsed into a pile of pillows with a pint of ice cream in hand. You might feel like a total slug. Once those estrogen and progesterone have ✌️ed out, that’s it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What to do, what to do... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We vote for staying in the pillows, grabbing some Phasey, and waving good riddance, at least for a week or so. While they’re gone, put ur feet up, skimp on ur to do list, go to bed early... give urself grace, ok? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who you are when the hormones go home is still YOU 💛 As for work... some of it can wait till next phase.

OH. Let’s talk about orgasms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just the word sounds like u shouldn’t say it, yeah? Maybe u grew up afraid to say it. Maybe u grew up afraid to have it. Say it out loud w us: orgasm, orgasm, orgasm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s unpack that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Orgasms are muscle contractions (a series of them!) paired w a sudden release of endorphins that produce a couple of pals of ours:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Dopamine! This neurotransmitter brings on the pleasure — or, technically, it reinforces enjoyable sensations and behaviors by bringing on the desire to do things that make u feel good again (and again and again, if ur into that). And... repeat. 🔂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Oxytocin! This hormone *functions* as a neurotransmitter. It’s an amplifier. Scientists say it turns up 🧠 activity related to whatever ur already experiencing (good vibes, bad vibes, you name it). It’s a part of why we feel so good when we’re with our people — sexually, platonically, or otherwise 😌 So ur bod amplifies that *feeling* and it wants it on repeat. I mean, can we blame it?! Why the shame then? Blame Freud and friends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 19th and early 20th century psych stigmatized the clitoral orgasm, saying it could lead to “neurosis, isolation, social disintegration”... and abandoning “maternal responsibilities.” Oof.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A convenient theory... to uphold systems of control, we think. And at whose expense? 🧐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the record... studies report that 37 percent of Americans with vulvas *require* clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm. You do the math.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A pause to remember:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ You can orgasm solo or with a partner(s). ✨ You can orgasm for good feels alone and/or with any consenting individual(s) u choose.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ The type of stimulation that leads to ur orgasm is your choice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ No one can control that.

RECIPE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O! Yogurt Bowls 🫐 🥜✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do this:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spoon the creamiest dreamiest yogurt you can find into an aesthetically pleasing bowl. Smooth it out with the back of your spoon 🥄 Layer on 🫐... the more, the merrier. Glitter w Pepita Flax Seed Cycle Blend, designed for ur MENSTRUAL + FOLLICULAR phases, which occur between the first day of your period + the first day of ovulation. Top liberally with drippy peanut butter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There’s no better way to ring in the end of ur period than sinking into a bowl full of berries, nuts, and some silky smooth protein-packed yogurt. (Try soy yogurt for max protein, or swirl in some of our Neat-O! We suggest 🍓) Finish w our seeds ✨✨✨ for an energy boost or a mood mellow — they’re friends *and* food.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. Are u more YOGURT or YOGHURT?!

We know that preggy parents need all the support t We know that preggy parents need all the support they can get. That’s why we designed our Neat-O! Instant Moodmilk with pregnancy (and fertility and postpartum) in mind 💅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Growing a bébé is hard work, and ur body’s speed-dialing for an increase in nutrients when ur doing it. Same for feeding that human once they’ve truly *arrived*; no matter how you do it, you’re gonna be busy, and we want to make it easy for you to take care of YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s how Neat-O! (our 4-ingredient protein powder) can help:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Helps ur bod build and maintain muscle and strong bones⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Helps build chest and uterine tissue to feed and shelter mini me⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ Helps said bébé(s) get the strong, protein-rich nutritional foundation they need from the start⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Docs rec consuming a minimum of 60g protein per day during pregnancy. One serving Neat-O! accounts for up to 1/3 of that. Not bad for chocolate (or strawberry or vanilla) milk. We’re all about anything that’s going to give you (and them) a lil extra strength 💪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Neat-O! Instant Moodmilk is soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and free of GMOs, major allergens, “natural” + artificial colors and flavors, and weirdo sweeteners (not even monkfruit or Reb-M or whatever the other brands are into these days).

Let’s talk about the 🐘 in the room... The Pil Let’s talk about the 🐘 in the room... The Pill! 💊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are actual things other “hormonal wellness” brands and “period gurus” have said about it:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “The Pill ruins love. You become less attractive to the opposite or same sex.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “When a woman chooses her partner while she is on the pill and then comes off it to have a child, she may find she is married to the wrong kind of man. You can avoid the Pill altogether if you want. I know this is a scary prospect for many women but I personally think choosing the wrong husband is more terrifying.” “To know how to prevent or achieve naturally by being conscious of your fertility is the most profound and empowering knowledge a woman can have.” 😳🙄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hmmm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Call us wallflowers, but we believe that the best thing for any body is to LIVE FREELY in it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That means that if hormonal contraception suits ur hormonal and/or contraceptive needs, cool! Between the Pill and its friends the Implant, the Patch, the Ring, the hormonal IUD... you’ve got options. Even when ur on HBC, u can love on ur health in myriad ways. (Sleep! Moving ur bod! Phasey!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If ur not into hormonal contraception for ur body and choose to use other tools to support ur hormonal and/or contraceptive needs, that’s also great! Err, grool. Cool. You’ve got non-hormonal preg prevention options (diaphragms, copper IUDs, some well-executed FAM) plus non-hormonal tools for periods, libido, moods. We’ve got u.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bottom line, we’re not pro-Pill or anti-Pill — that’s for u and ur body to decide. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And the rest of the noise? No doubt you’ve heard a lot of anti-Pill talk on THIS app. Decide for yourself, menny, but keep an eye out for shame culture. It may simply be some good ol’ fashioned patriarchal oppression, dressed in pastel leggings. Meanwhile, if u need us, we’ll be doing whatever we please.

Transformations are emotional, they twist and they turn, and on the other side, we might find ourselves asking how we even got there at all.

This snapshot is from a 1953 short film called “ This snapshot is from a 1953 short film called “Molly Grows Up.” According to IMDB, in this movie, “Molly anxiously awaits her first sign of menstruation, which means that she'll be able to date and go dancing. The school nurse explains exactly what menstruation is to her, by using diagrams.” Let’s unpack that, shall we? 🙃 Molly can’t date until her period arrives. She can’t go dancing. But once it does... she can 🤔 Maybe when you grew up it was wearing makeup or a training bra or oooh buying an album w the parental advisory label on it. (Thx, Tipper Gore!) Maybe it wasn’t ur fam but ur community who set the norms. Some cultures or religions acknowledge menstruation as a crucial first step to becoming... someone. (We’ve got a lot of questions about that, too. Saving that for another post.) So. We’re conditioned to believe that our periods are a rite of passage, a gateway to adulthood, or (ugh) perhaps worst of all, they mean we’re becoming someone different than who we already are. Hmm. Babes, we politely disagree. Whether we’re bleeding or not bleeding, whether we’re 12 or 22 or 102, we’ve always been and we’ll always be US. Similar shaming happens w menopause. Who are we during our period years? Who are we before or after? Do we gain our personhood or society’s definition of our gender identity at menstruation? Do we lose it when menstruation ends? Yeah, hard NO from us. We’re into period neutrality over here. Having a period isn’t “good”. Having a period isn’t “bad”. Our periods just “are”. We’re not into that “good v. bad” thing in general. There’s enough hate and shame going around in this world. What we *are* into is supporting u all the way thru it all, no matter what ur period does or doesn’t mean to u. Back to Molly: it’s normal to ask questions abt menstruation or menopause and feel things abt it, too. But no one gets to decide what that means for u or ur identity. It’s yours.

There are approximately 15 million protein powders There are approximately 15 million protein powders on the market. (Jk we made that stat up — but u get it. You’ve got options, babe.) So why did *we* make one?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕 NUTRITION. In a world of not-quite-sweeteners, the “natural” (and artificial) flavors, rando adaptogen combos, and weird fillers (just to save the company’s buck), we wanted a protein powder that was nutritionally-stacked + actually made us feel good. We knew we could nail it in 5 ingredients or less, so we did 😏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕 FLAVOR. We said so long to pea protein, to rice protein, and yes — to grainy-greeny traditional hemp protein — when we created Neat-O! We wanted something creamy + nutty that would let other ingredients steal the tastebud show, like fair trade 🍫 , raw 🍓 + organic vanilla. Shoutout to hulled hemp protein, our hero. It’s magic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💕 EASE. We got sick of cleaning our blender. Maybe you have, too 🙈 So we designed our protein powder for a shake or a stir. Just add milk. Think N*squik nostalgia. Who has time for anything else?! 💕 HONESTY. We saw products promising “mood boosting” results, but we knew the truth — if ur macros are seriously off-kilter, it’s going to be an uphill battle for just abt anything else. So we went back to basics + looked at our protein intake. Abysmal, mennies! Protein provides ur body with amino acids that are used to produce specific hormones, like estrogen, insulin, and thyroid hormone... nbd. We’re talking crucial building blocks that make you *you*. So we started there. Never looked back. We’re holding hands w our mood swings + the future looks rainbow brite. In summary: Protein + your hormones go together like Captain & Tennille. And love (like routine daily consumption of protein), as the saying goes, will keep them together. Ours contains all 9 essential amino acids + like we said, is made from hulled hemp, one of the easiest plant-based proteins to digest. Tastes legit, easy to make, actually works. Try it + see 💕
Ohhh we’ve seen some sexual disinformation out t Ohhh we’ve seen some sexual disinformation out there this week. Yikes 😳 So we’re using this as an *educational moment* to take down some stigmas.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Let’s talk abt SAFER SEX. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Safer sex is sex that lowers our risk — and our partners’ risk — of STDs and STIs. For health, for ease, maybe even for better sex. It’s linked to better feelings abt sex + clearer outcomes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What exactly counts as safer sex? There’s room to get creative ✨ Some ideas:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ CONDOMS. Business in the front, business in the back, business (well, condoms) for just about anything u can imagine. Only 1 in 3 sexually active ppl use a condom (!) + we’re committed to upping that stat. They can be cute, they can be fun, and if they’re awkward for u (like they are for everyone)... practice 😏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ KISSING. Call up ur FWB, turn on a movie + feel that good good tension rising — we’re getting butterflies just thinking about it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ MASTURBATION. Cooking cucumbers, making waffles, nulling the void. (Aren’t euphemisms weird?! We call it like we see it.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ CONSENSUAL TOUCH. Honestly underrated. Dreamy as hell. So many possibilities.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ COMMUNICATION. Speaking of consent... Yes means yes. Also, sexual communication is positively correlated with sexual satisfaction. Yep! Talking openly abt sex to your partner — what ur into, what u don’t like, what u can’t get off ur mind — is statistically linked to BETTER SEX 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ GETTING TESTED. Nothing like a years-long pandemic to teach us the value of routine testing. Make it a @plannedparenthood date + go out for sushi afterward. Not even kidding.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One more thing — no sex is 100% “safe”. We’re talking risk reduction here! So if u *do* find urself dealing w an STD or STI, remember: ur not broken. You are not dirty. You are a living, breathing person w a body that can grow, thrive, and get thru it all. You are worthy, you are sexy + you are v v deserving of safer sex.

faq about our green 🌿✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the full spectrum hemp extract in our bestselling period chocolate 🍫 is a thing of splendor.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ here’s what u’ve been asking:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌿 can cbd get me high?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ cbd will not get you high. we use @lucefarm organic full spectrum hemp extract in all of our period chocolates. the product contains less than 0.3% thc as per the legal limit, which acts as an effective complement to the cbd.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌿 why don’t I feel anything when I take cbd but my friend/partner/sibling/dog does?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ just like snowflakes, no two endocannabinoid systems are alike ❄️ So while your mom may be feeling the effects of cbd like whoa, it’s possible that you could feel nothing. Fear not, though; the biggest benefit of cbd may just lie in its anti-inflammatory properties, so even if you’re not feeling zenned out, the stuff works. make sure ur using hi-qual tho. there’s a lot of meh stuff out there.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🌿 what is the proper dosage of cbd? how much is too much?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ we recommend consuming 1-2 period chocolates 🍫🍫 per day while menstrual or luteal symptoms persist. we treat our cbd with the thought and care of medicine and use it on an as-needed basis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and there you have it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ got more cbd q’s for us? ask away, babes 😘✌️🌿
This is LOU SULLIVAN, American author, activist, a This is LOU SULLIVAN, American author, activist, and trans historian.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lou was a gay trans man at a time — he lived from 1951-1991 — when gay trans men had little to no representation in this country. It was an era when society still grouped gender and sexuality together as one unit, a time when medical professionals and researchers were still blind to the reality that sexual orientation is separate 👏 from gender 👏 identity 👏 According to Lou, most people he met throughout his lifetime— even within the gay and trans communities — had never met an openly gay trans man before. (Crazy to imagine, right?! We’re talking 30, 40, 50 years ago.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a young person, Lou wrote and wrote and wrote and vowed to “keep a diary as long as I live”, in hopes of publishing it someday and sharing the tell-all of his experiences. (He did!) He was hellbent on making space for gay trans men when trans women had far more visibility.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So Lou got to work. He wrote, spoke to large crowds, appeared on TV, networked, and researched tirelessly for decades, committed to being a face and a voice for trans men and gay trans men. He lobbied doctors, organized support groups like San Francisco’s FTM, edited an FTM newsletter, and, in 1980, wrote one of the first books written specifically for transitioning trans men. When he was diagnosed w HIV in his 30s, he became the first studied transmasc person w HIV/AIDS. He never left the spotlight.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lou changed the way our country saw sexuality and gender as separate entities. And as Lou rose to recognition thruout his life (+ beyond), he was forever an educator, an advocate, a champion, a pioneer. 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I want to look like what I am, but don’t know what someone like me looks like. I mean, when people look at me I want them to think, ‘there’s one of those people ... that has their own interpretation of happiness.’ That’s what I am.” -Lou Graydon Sullivan
We talked about period myths; now let’s talk abo We talked about period myths; now let’s talk about sex.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s a list, in no particular order, of sex myths we’ve been hearing forever, like basically since JT’s 🍜 hair walked the earth (👋 if the bulk of your perception of sex and sexuality was terribly misinformed by boy band lyrics, ughh):⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 People of a certain gender or sexuality think more about or are more willing to have sex, or vice versa⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Sex is “over” when one or multiple people orgasm⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Booze makes for better sex⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 All orgasms should be earth-shattering, like in the movies ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 You can’t become pregnant ur first time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Hormonal BC/PreP/HPV vax/etc. means condom-free⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 You don’t need contraception if you’ve already slept together⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Your clothes or your personality can “invite” sex or sexual advances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Your sexuality informs the type of sex you *should* have⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 You’re either a top or a bottom⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 Bedrooms are the only place “the magic happens” (we blame @mtv Cribs 🙃)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just like period disinformation, sex disinformation trickles in thru locker room convos, passed notes, slumber parties, thru partners and hookups and reality TV, thru Google searches and books hidden under our pillows and unanswered questions we hold onto out of fear.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about this, though: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if we had space to explore our feelings, our values, our thoughts, and to learn?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if we could feel affirmed in our exploration and could make the right choices for us without stigma or shame? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if we built our sex on respect and thoughtful communication? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Call us dreamers, but that’s the sex we all deserve. That’s the sex we’re showing up for. That’s the sex we’re GROWING up for, at whatever age — Gen Skinny Jean, Gen Flare, Gen Do-I-Even-Care...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s never too late to demand more. 💕
Period misinformation is a THING. Trot down memory Period misinformation is a THING. Trot down memory lane w us and think about the myths we collectively grew up hearing: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚫 “Periods are dirty” 🚫 “You can’t have sex or exercise on ur period” 🚫 “Your period should last 7 days” 🚫 “Using tampons breaks ur hymen (+ therefore ur virginity”) 🚫 “PMS is all in ur head” 🚫 “You can’t become pregnant on ur period” 🚫 “People can’t swim while menstruating” ...and our least favorite of all 🚫 “When u get your period, it means you’re “finally a woman’” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wrong!!! Every single one of ‘em. So how did all these get so far?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We think it comes down to a couple of factors: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1) The lack of consistent, equitable access to comprehensive sex and period education across our society 2) Media portrayals of periods, sex, and bodies that don’t tell the whole story, tell a different story, or don’t tell the story at all 3) Systems of oppression that serve people who would rather we *not* feel cool w our bodies, ourselves, and the way it all goes down, lest we sacrifice their power ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The scary thing about misinformation is, it spreads. Through our families, our friends, our communities, our networks on social and irl — often when we (or they) are not even realizing it. And in the absence of said evidence-based period ed and real-life representation in the shows we watch, the mags we read, the accounts we follow, period misinformation and myths can blaze on for generations 🔥😳 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So.

a mosquito / my libido -nirvana⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s talk about libido, yes? It’s your drive, your tempo, your heat map. It’s a feeeeeling. It’s influenced by your bod, your brain, and your whole environment. It’s sometimes confused with arousal, but think of it this way: libido is what’s going on in ur 🧠, and sexual arousal is what’s happening w ur body. The two often do a delicate dance to get you to this place where mind and body are in SYNC and you get to ride that magical wave 🌊 (P.S. Thoughts on Back-Sync?!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s the thing, tho. Libido and arousal aren’t always connected. Sometimes ur mind can’t stop daydreaming but ur body’s like “yeah ok whatever.” Other times you’re thinking abt the most mundane of topics and u notice that your parts are piqued. In either case, that’s just par for the course.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our libidos grow + change just like us thru our lives. (Cue the after-school special music 🎶) Maybe yours is Mount Everest and ur partner’s is hanging out in the depths of the Grand Canyon. Maybe last month u couldn’t get your mind off of ur internet crush (admit it, u have an internet crush — we blame quarantine) and maybe this month all u can think of are junk food and the 20 million work projects on your list.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just like people, no two libidos are alike, and thru the courses of our lives, they can ride high, ride low, and change due to hormones, circumstances, your cycle, stress, health, medication, relationship dynamics, or just plain ebb and flow bc humans aren’t static. We’re fluid. 😌✨✨✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most importantly — no matter where ur libido’s at or where you *wish* it were — it’s not a reflection on you, ur body, or ur sexual worth. Libido is a spectrum, and there’s no universal “normal” sex drive. But that’s not what society tells us, right?! It’s personal, babes. And at the end of the day, that heat map is yours + yours alone. High, low, however it goes.

HONEY LEE COTTRELL was a pioneering lesbian photog HONEY LEE COTTRELL was a pioneering lesbian photographer and filmmaker of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, thx to her innovative and original representation of lesbian sexuality, particularly for the butch/femme community. Honey Lee’s work was political, it was honest, it was defining for the era’s queer and mainstream fashion, media, and art. She brought butch visibility to the forefront for a new generation, metamorphosing 1940s and 50s lesbian archetypes and telling stories that centered butch heartthrobs for the first time in over a generation. Major, right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honey Lee collab’ed with sex-positive publisher, sex educator, and counselor Joani Blank and author and photographer Tee Corinne on I Am My Lover, a central 1970s second-wave feminist book that focused on self-pleasure as a means of self-care and self-love. Seriously radical for the time, similar to what Our Bodies, Ourselves did for the health care conversation. These people were paving 🍓 the 🍓 way 🍓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honey Lee was an adored part of the San Francisco LGBTQIA+ community, and before she died, she donated her works to @cornellsexcollects. (If u haven’t seen their stuff, trot on over there — it’s brilliant.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Honey Lee, you groundbreaker!!! Thank u for your vision and your truth 💕

someone left the cake out in the rain 🍰🌧 🎶 and it was *probably* your ESTROGEN.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ at least once a month she’s plummeting, she’s falling down, she’s a bit of a hot mess. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and whether she’s low bc perimenopause, menopause, a medical reason like a hysterectomy, or just a regular luteal phase, estrogen’s good when she’s good, but when she’s on her way out... she’s likely to cause some dramaaa 😳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎢💃 estrogen is linked to an increase in serotonin, everyone’s favorite feel-swell chemical. when she checks out, ur brain might start grasping at straws — or oreos or netflix or puppies or whatever it is that makes u feel better fast.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎢💃 estrogen helps you sleep! when she dips you’re probably more likely to stay awake scrolling tiktok till 2am or absent-mindedly eating sour brite crawlers while staring at the ceiling contemplating life’s great mysteries.

When was the last time you said the word “period When was the last time you said the word “period”? Did you mumble it under your breath? Did you use a euphemism? Or... did you say it out loud? If you did, where were you? Did it feel safe to say it? According to Goffman (1963), the word stigma refers to any stain or mark that sets some people apart from others; it conveys the information that those people have a defect of body or of character that spoils their appearance or identity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dirty, disgusting, different, unwell... toxic. Period product marketing itself was first built to “solve” the problems that stigma had created for centuries. Dirty? Here, get clean. Disgusting? Here, hide it. Unwell? Here, take a pill and fix it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ NOPE. It’s time to tear ✨ down ✨ that ✨ stigma ✨. With it, out goes our collective shame 💃 We’re working for a world where we can freely say “period” and “food” in the same sentence without getting the seemingly inevitable shudder or eye roll or gag face or awkward silence. We’re working for a world where menstrual equity is the norm, not the exception, and where you can wear white pants any day u damn well choose. We acknowledge the challenges of our mennies around the world who live in communities where the decision to speak boldly isn’t so easy. But if you feel ready today (or you’re on the fence and u need a lil rah-rah) we ask u to join us in leading the way for menstrual equity, which includes our right to speak about our bleeds without stigma or shame. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “PERIOD.” Say it loud, say it often, say it like it is. Say it again if you like it. Use your voice. Be a friend. Change starts with YOU.

Bestie, you’re a city 🌃✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know that feeling when you’re blissed out in New York, walking along a tree-lined street, dreaming up your next big thing (maybe the next big thing is *you*).... and then WHAM! (miss u George Michael) you’re criss-crossed with an avenue, all lined up with headlights and horns and it’s wild and it’s jarring but u listen — just listen — and you suddenly feel the whole city in that moment, fluttering birds and shouted pizza orders and a soprano singing out a window, and it’s so overwhelming but also like heaven bc u can’t believe it’s all here, it’s all happening, and ur a small (but absolutely essential) part of it all?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (If you haven’t you must. You just must.) Your hormones are that noise, that marvelous marvelous but also overwhelming noise. And you... well, you’re the city. Your endocrine system’s got a swell group of glands that send out distinct hormones to flow on down those avenues, smash bam whoaaa, each having to listen to the other in this symbiotic way. Unless they don’t.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like a flurry of bike messengers playing hooky on the way to drop off said pizza (respect to bike messengers), if a few things get out of sync, well... the slick magical flow of it all can turn CHAOTIC.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do we get it all back on track? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Observe the rhythm of ur cycle (keep notes!). If you feel too tired to work out, just listen. If your bod’s craving carbs, lean in. Don’t fight it. Ride the wave. 2. Focus on your environment. Just like the city, we all do better when we plant a few trees, take a walk along the water, and leave space for calm, and yes... (unlike New York) even sleep. 3. Feed the flow. Diet culture tells us that restricting entire food groups will lead us to our aesthetic goals but tbh ur hormones are happiest when you eat to support, not to deprive. So note the foods that feel good, and boo, trust ur gut 💕✨

A moment of appreciation for GRACE JONES, one of o A moment of appreciation for GRACE JONES, one of our all-time favorites ✨✨✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grace is celebrated for using her pop star platform to shift the conversation on gender identity, sexuality, Blackness, by frankly, just being herself and owning the hell out of it. She dabbled in disco, reggae, funk, post-punk, and pop. She hung out with Warhol and collaborated with Keith Haring. Her personal style has been defined as “neo-cubist”, but in a world that favored labels — especially for models, for artists, and for those in the public eye in the 1970s and 80s — Grace defined gender on *her* terms, often referencing the distinct duality of her masculine and feminine identities. Her music, genre-fluid. Her essence, gender-fluid. She brought gender play into the convo during a time when mainstream representation was rare.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grace says:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it’s up to them to find that quality and let it live.” “I never do what anyone else is doing. I could walk away from music and become a farmer or do some crochet. The worst thing in life for me is to do something I’m not happy doing.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “I just go with the flow; I follow the yellow brick road. I don’t know where it’s going to lead me, but I follow it.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Flow and follow that road, mennies. Flow and follow. 👠✨✨✨✨✨✨✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regram from @70sbabes.
the only thing that would make this bathroom bette the only thing that would make this bathroom better would be a never-ending stash of free tampons ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ oh wait... that’s a thing?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ countries like scotland are ensuring that period products are freely available to students and have designated public places that must also make the products available. in the united states... we’re not quite there yet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ federal prisons are required by law to provide free period products for incarcerated people — but state prisons and local jails haven’t followed suit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ a recent survey found that 86 percent of people surveyed had, at some point, started their period in public without access to the menstrual products that they need to function throughout the day. yet free period products in the workplace continue to be the exception, not the norm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ there are no national or statewide mandates for shelters to provide free period products for homeless americans. still, period products remain one of the least-donated personal care items. if these facts make you ~ feel something ~ please write or call your local state rep or senator and ADVOCATE FOR CHANGE. donate that box of tampons to your local shelter. talk to your boss about working with a company like @auntflow to supply period products in your workspace. reach out to an advocacy org in your area that’s doing #MenstrualEquity work or connect with @plannedparenthoodactionfund to learn how you can help. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ call us optimists, but we think that dream bathroom sitch is possible. includes tampons, no question.
LIFE IS A SOAP OPERA, mennies. But we firmly belie LIFE IS A SOAP OPERA, mennies. But we firmly believe in writing our own scripts... while drinking chocolate 🍫 or strawberry 🍓 or vanilla-studded ✨ milk 🥛. That’s just us. Feathery pen in hand like it’s 1999.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Seriously, tho. Each of us is building an internalized, evolving story of our lives every single day. That story informs our identity. We tell ourselves (and the world!) who we are, thx to our lived experience and the narrative we choose. If you’re anything like us... sometimes that story can feel like an absolute soap opera, larger than life, topsy-turvy ridiculous, dramatic or sugary sweet or best aired at the twelve o’clock hour. Sometimes it can feel like someone else is writing it, or, like life is just *happening* to us. Who’s writing it? (Cue our best impression of KWiig in @snl’s The Californians: “Stuuuaart?!”) But *yes, we’re diving deep — we’re LUTEAL, babes* when we write that story, set narrative for ourselves, and really focus in on the bigger picture of the script we’re writing, we create the chance to connect the dots and define unity and purpose in our lives. Remember, YOU’RE setting the story. (Not Stuart.) Psychology suggests that we actually think of our past, present, and future as holistic — co-occurring, even. So when you connect back to your memories or your dreams, your mind doesn’t actually process that fact as who you were or who you’ll be — rather, you’re telling yourself, without question, who you ARE. No worries tho, bc the feathery pen is in *your* hand. And the script u write about ur past can inform the here and now — even the really really hard parts. So. That framing is up to you. (It’s ok, you can do this!) Think about a time u felt super low, menny. How did you grow from there? How did u rise? Ur past does not have to limit or define you. After all, somehow, you got here. You get to shape that meaning. You get to WRITE THAT SCRIPT. 🖊✨ Soap opera, maybe. But hey, it’s yours.

History lesson! ✨ This outdated advert from Tamp History lesson! ✨ This outdated advert from Tampax, circa WWII, is v problematic for *several* reasons, but it gets one key thing right that we seem to have forgotten in the literally 80+ years since: MENSTRUAL EQUITY IS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY. Tell that to ur penny-pinching extended fam who are scratching their heads at what it truly means to bleed 🙃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When mennies have access to period products, we all do better. When mennies have access to educational opportunity, equal pay, a fair living wage, paid family and medical leave, affordable and reliable child care, and job stability on par with that of their non-bleeding colleagues... we all 👏 do 👏 better 👏 That’s a lot of power for a tampon, and it’s why now, as our world once again works to recover from a global crisis era, we need to keep standing up for individual repro autonomy and our collective health equity, which, yes, includes our right to the essentials we need to take on our periods with ease. If you’ve ever had to choose btwn buying a box of tampons or supplies for another week of PB&Js, you’ve experienced period product insecurity. If you’ve ever wadded up TP in your unds bc you didn’t have a quarter for ur work bathroom pad dispenser or left work bc u bled through your pants or called in sick bc your cramps hurt too much or been called out for showing up late to a meeting bc u were taking care of bathroom biz and didn’t feel comfortable mentioning why to your boss, you’ve experienced menstrual inequity. FREEDOM. SECURITY. MENSTRUATION EDUCATION. Why was a period product company telling our great-g’parents they were worthy of these basic human rights in the 1940s (ok def to reduce absenteeism for the nation’s economic gain 🙄), only for us to still be fighting for these basic rights 80 years later?! Workplace equity includes access to period products for EVERYONE. In all workplaces, bathrooms, prisons, schools. STAND UP w us. DM for how u can help.
