Periods Are Not Always Joyful (Unless you Take Ease The Flow IYKYK)
How often do you hear someone say how excited they are for their time of the month? Given that periods are a part of life (approximately 1.8 billion people worldwide menstruate every month) we have learned to just deal with them.

How to Avoid Common Mistakes that Disrupt Vaginal pH
We've all been there. Whether it's irritation, itchiness of the occasional yeast infection, or a persistent odor, we have all experienced just how sensitive the vagina can be.
