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. It’s time we rewrite the story, and that starts with shaking up the system, mennies. DM us for ideas of how u can get involved — from ur couch, at a rally, in front of ur state legislature, in the news... We’re ready. Are u?

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.

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.

“Your Period: A Play in Two Acts” *originally “Your Period: A Play in Two Acts” *originally published on PHASEY.CO⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THE SCENE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is your uterus. It’s the scene of your period. The HQ, the hotspot, the hive. Every cycle, your uterine lining preps itself for a pregnancy. If you don’t become pregnant, estrogen and progesterone begin to fall. When they bottom out, your period begins. Out goes the lining. Farewell!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ACT 1, ESTROGEN RISING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Phase 1 + Phase 2⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Menstrual + Follicular⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meet estrogen. Estrogen makes ovulation happen. Estrogen makes you feel goooood. Motivated, radiant, maybe in love with yourself. You’ll forget all about your last period soon. Bc this act is a prep for a big shiny O. Ovulation, that is. Follicle Stimulating Hormone, that great fairy godmother, comes in to speed things along. Luteinizing Hormone arrives with the drama, bada-bing. Estrogen is rising, rising, rising... Finally, you ovulate and all is gorgeously well in the world. Estrogen falls. Its work here is done. The others follow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ End of Act 1.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ACT 2, PROGESTERONE RISING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Phase 3 + Phase 4⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ovulatory + Luteal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meet progesterone. Progesterone bakes cookies and decorates for fun. Progesterone makes you feel... interesting. Some mystery, some magic, sometimes confusing and sad. Once ovulation happens, progesterone hustles to prepare for pregnancy. It kikis with estrogen, who’s much chiller this time. They’ve got a broom and a feather duster and they’re getting things all cute and ready. They make cozy spots for your egg to hang out. Then they get news — you’re not pregnant. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go. Progesterone gives you some snacks. You hold hands, cancel plans, and binge watch some Netflix. Everyone leaves, except those sneaky prostaglandins. Just you and your cramps, menny.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ End of Act 2.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😌✨
“It was a rebellion,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “It was a rebellion,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it was an uprising,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it was a civil rights disobedience,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it wasn’t no damn riot.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Stormé DeLarverie, Black lesbian activist and queer icon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rumor has it that Stormé DeLarverie’s 1969 arrest during a police raid at The Stonewall, the Greenwich Village bar where she worked as a bouncer, was the moment that sparked the Stonewall Riots. The story goes that during her arrest, Stormé, struggling and bleeding, addressed the onlooking crowd and asked, “Why don’t you guys do something?” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before Stonewall, in the 1950s, Stormé was part of a traveling drag show called the Jewel Box Revue, performing frequently at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and at Radio City Music Hall as the group’s emcee and sole drag king. After Stonewall, she was widely known as a volunteer street patrol worker in the Village, continued to perform, putting on benefits for abuse victims and volunteering for queer organizations and charities, and continued to work as a bouncer at NYC bars until she was 85.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #dontstopnowkeepgoing #stonewallriots #stormedelarverie

Good things come in threes. Like Omegas! ✨✨✨ Good things come in threes. Like Omegas! ✨✨✨ You’ve likely heard about Omega-3s since, like, forever (thx 90s) but let’s talk about why they actually matter...! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤓 Why you need them:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Approx 70 PERCENT of mennies are missing out on the recommended dose of O-3s. You need these! Your cool bod can make most of the fats it needs to survive from other fats or raw materials. (Crafty, no?) But that’s not the case for O-3s. You can’t make them from scratch, so they’ve gotta come from food!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤓 How they work their magic:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Studies show that a daily dose of Omegas can be effective at supporting the MOOD SWINGS that come and go thru all repro life phases, like periods, postpartum, and menopause. These little friends travel easily thru the brain cell membrane and chat with mood-related molecules in your brain. Social butterflies for sure 🦋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤓 Why we're obsessed:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ O-3s are anti-inflammatory, and studies show that they can nix cramps, too! Remember prostaglandins?! Turns out they're not *all* so pesky. Our bodies convert ALA (the plant-derived Omega) to "good" prostaglandins, who suit up, throw on their best disguise, and get all anti-inflammatory against those pain-inducing baddies. Bet you didn't know you had little secret agents working for your bod to fight off cramps... but when you consistently nosh O-3s, you do!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How best to get your Omegas, tho?! We've got some ideas. More on that soon 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thanksomegas #marthaandthevandellas #theomega3

So what does your CERVIX do, anyway? 🍩🤔 The So what does your CERVIX do, anyway? 🍩🤔 The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus. Think of it as the hallway that connects your vagina and your ute. Maybe not glamorous, but dang, that thing gets traffic — at least once a month, if you bleed. During your period, your uterine lining sheds and shimmies out thru it. During birth, that entrance expands(!) to make room for a literal 👶 . During 🍌 sex, 💦 may hustle by on its way to meet 🥚 (yes, that old chestnut). And if that’s not up your alley, friends like 🍌🍆 or👆can actually touch it — ooh la la. Like we said: this place is BUSY. Our cervixes MOVE during the course of our cycles. They can get “bumped”, and even bruise, during deep sex. They literally have been thru it *all*, and you know what that means — our cervixes neeeeed TLC on the reg. You with us?! That’s why we Pap! Consider it a scheduled maintenance check for your most traveled corridor. With all that hullabaloo (yes, we said hullabaloo, why not), your cervix could use some attention. @americancancersociety recently updated their cervical screening guidelines, and we recommend u give ‘em a look to see if you’re due for a check-in✨ Sooooo consider this ur reminder! Esp since your PCP and/or gyno appts might have been pushed back bc this pandemic. No matter where you live, remember that providers like @plannedparenthood can still hook you up with an appointment any time — pandemic included. This stuff is so important and it literally SAVES LIVES. PSA over. Your cervix is underrated so tell it u love it today 🍩🍩🍩🍩💕 Regram from @70s_home_decor.
Do menstruators have testosterone? YES!!! Mennies, Do menstruators have testosterone? YES!!! Mennies, too, produce the androgen hormone testosterone in our ovaries and adrenal glands. It’s part of the quintessential combo of hormones that keep our mood, energy levels, and libido running in tip-top form. It supports strong bones! It has a neuroprotective effect! Studies show that it’s *even* linked to math skillz and spatial relations. Just like our other hormones, testosterone can go low when we go high (thx Michelle Obama) or vice versa. For example, if you’re finding it hard to keep sex on the brain, ur testosterone may have dipped. (If you’re having trouble ovulating, missing periods, or notice a sudden, unexpected increase in body hair, it could be high and/or indicative of a condition like PCOS. (Call ur doc!))⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cool news, though — we can eat to support healthy testosterone levels just like we do for our other hormones. We’re talking protein, zinc, magnesium, B6, and omega 3 essential fatty acids.

Bibbity-bobbity-boo-hoo-hoo 😭✨ You probably k Bibbity-bobbity-boo-hoo-hoo 😭✨ You probably know this already, but feeling emotional during your Luteal phase is a real thing. Remember our old friend Progesterone? Well, once a month they get VERY excited once you’ve ovulated, and they start prepping your parts just in case an egg has been fertilized. Out comes the feather duster, and they turn on the fireplace, crank up the John Denver, and set to work turning your uterus into a comfy cozy home, like we said, just in case. (Yep, Progesterone’s drinking the same Kool-Aid as all your mom’s Midwestern friends who think that juuuust because X happened, you’ve got to have babies on the brain. Anyone else?! 🙄🤚 You can thank your corpus luteum for inviting them to the party.) If you’re preggo-minded, great news — Progesterone, provided there’s enough of it, has got your (and your lil zygote’s) back. But if you’re not, no worries —Progesty is quick to take a hint, and if that egg’s not fertilized, they GTHO ✌️ Guess what, though, now that your cozymaker’s dipped (along with your ride-or-die Estrogen), you might be feeling a tad bit lonely, or sad, or like eating an entire chocolate cake in one sitting. Cry it out, menny. Cry it out. We’ve got a can of extra frosting and some Period Chocolates up our sleeve for a little bit of the feel-good you might be missing. (CBD to the rescue! 🍫✨🥰)
How old were you when you got your first period? W How old were you when you got your first period? We’ve been chatting ppl up about menarche (pronounced muh-NAAR-kee) and we’re getting the vibe that lots of early-to-the-parties found theirs inconvenient and that lots of late bloomers wondered if theirs would ever come. (Some still haven’t! Every body is different.) Some of us cheered our way to T&A, and some of us still are not down with the way things shaped up. That’s cool, too. Your body, your feelz. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One thing’s clear, though -- a first period is an *experience*. Whether your caregivers went full-on Our Bodies Ourselves or you bought a twenty-five cent tampon and took the plunge yourself, it’s possible that the way you lived that first period and the ones that came after it helped shape who you are. We recommend going back in time and high-fiving your younger self to say, “Hey, this is hard sh*t, and you’re really doing it. Nice job, young me.” You deserve that, period people.

Luteal days, tossy-turny nights. Studies show that Luteal days, tossy-turny nights. Studies show that the quality and quantity of your sleep is linked to where you’re at in your cycle, so there’s a real reason you’re up on your phone at 3am scrolling puppy videos in the week leading up to your period. (Maybe that’s just us 🐕) Anyway, we blame progesterone. During your Luteal phase, it’s so busy fairy godmothering your endometrium in case of a fertilized egg that it broadcasts to your whole body — your head hurts, your boobs hurt, you’re anxious or depressed. 1 in 4 people have sleep probs during their Luteal phase; 1 in 3 have a hard time snoozing through menstruation, understandably. If you need us, we’ll be searching for a secret lair filled with soft things and bread products and, for sure, puppy videos (or actual puppies).

Who’s surprised?! 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫✨ We crave chocolate bc it gives us that serotonin rushhhh when our feel-good estrogen and progesterone levels plummet just before our periods arrive. We crave chocolate bc so many of us are literally taught from a young age that chocolate + periods are a thing!!! (Rates of period-specific chocolate cravings are statistically lower in other countries.) And in some cases, we crave chocolate due to a nutritional deficiency (iron! magnesium!) but so much is yet to be discovered there. *We* crave Period Chocolate, specifically, because our little CBD-loaded nuggets send our cramps out to sea for a short while (4-6 hours) and replace them with a lil more peace of body and mind. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #periodchocolate #chocolateforperiods #periodcraving #hormonalcraving #periodculture #cbdchocolate #cbdbrands #happyhormones #bliss

let’s talk about ouchie 🍩🍩. not fun, right let’s talk about ouchie 🍩🍩. not fun, right?! breast pain, sometimes called mastalgia, has 2 types: cyclical breast pain (totally our jam) and non-cyclical breast pain. cyclical breast pain is caused by the natural monthly fluctuations of the hormones estrogen and progesterone that we know + love so well... those twin wonders have a stimulating effect, increasing the size and number of ducts and milk glands and causing the breast to retain water, aka why your cup size might get a little oomph right around your luteal phase. just part of that lil rollercoaster! good news, there are some gentle things we can do to help: stretching, yoga, or neck rotation can help to soothe your bod. a sports bra can help keep things in place (boohoo bc we hate bras BUT we hate breast pain more 🙃). ice packs, warm compresses, or massage can loosen things up. and! omega 3s, evening primrose oil, and anti-inflammatories (like advil or our very own Period Chocolate! 🍫✨) have been proven to work their magic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember: if your breasts hurt, talk to your doctor, just to be safe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Regram from @ramona_mag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #hormonalhealth #happyhormones #breastcancerawareness #savethetatas #mastalgia #periodchocolate

Did you know that menstruators are TWICE as likely Did you know that menstruators are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with anxiety in their lifetimes than non-menstruators?! You probably don’t need *us* to tell you this, but studies show that anxiety sensitivity, ovarian hormonal changes, and external stressors may interact to initiate/maintain clinical anxiety during the premenstrual (Luteal) phase, largely in part to the decline in estrogen that comes after ovulation (similar happens after childbirth!). Remember: estrogen is our feel-good friend, and when it plummets, well, sometimes those feelings can fly away fast. Our in-the-moment anxiety advice? ID what you’re thinking, ID what you’re feeling, ID what you’re doing, and scan your body for any negative sensations. If you can, focus on your breathing, run cool water over your wrists, or step into nature for a minute.

HISTORY LESSON. congresswoman barbara jordan was a HISTORY LESSON. congresswoman barbara jordan was an american lawyer, educator, and politician. she was a trailblazer for Black folks in politics, and whoa, could barbara give a speech. at the time she assumed office, she was the first Black state senator since 1883, the first Black woman to serve in a state senate, and the first Black southern u.s. congresswoman. she is famous for giving what is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of all time, the opening remarks at richard nixon's impeachment, as well as for being the first Black woman to deliver a keynote at the dnc. barbara was a lesbian and an activist who used her dedicated scholarship and her voice to fight for marginalized communities and we think she's dang neat. we'll leave you with this note from barbara that feels appropriate in present times: "if the society today allows wrongs to go unchallenged, the impression is created that those wrongs have the approval of the majority." we need more barbaras. let's flood the ballots this fall. if u want to run for office but you're not sure how to do so, DM us and we'll help u connect to resources to do so.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #barbarajordan #sheshouldrun #supermajority #rolemodel #congresswomanbarbarajordan
BLACK TRANS LIVES MATTER. Say ✊🏿🏳️‍🌈 it ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈 louder ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈 Today marks the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. What I, you, and we celebrate as PRIDE today and every June is due to the painstaking work of Black trans activists including Marsha P. Johnson, who, upon a Public Morals Division (GROSS) police raid at the Stonewall Inn in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, is quoted as saying “I got my civil rights!” Marsha threw a shot glass into a mirror and subsequently, hundreds of people began rioting. If you celebrate Pride but you don’t know these leaders, it is because history has tried to erase them. You see, often the people WRITING it are not the people LIVING it. They’re not the people MAKING it. It’s more convenient to slap a rainbow on a trinket made by Black child labor, call that allyship, and carry on with your month feeling like you did enough. But you know what? That’s intention without ACTION. We’re not doing enough. You might not be either. So rather than merely calling u out, we’re going to walk the gd walk. This week we will be donating 100% of all Phasey website sales to REAL BLACK TRANS FOLX who have asked for help via the link in our profile. Thank you to @ezra__menas for sharing and using his platform to bring voice to this link and these needs. DON’T FORGET MARSHA’S NAME. DON’T FORGET REM’MIE’S. DON’T FORGET RIAH’S.
