🚨 STOP USING ANTIBIOTICS TO GET RID OF THE SMELL OF YOUR PERIOD.

Yes, we’re talking about it.

In this session, Pharm. Emmanuel addressed a practice that many women may have been advised to try: using antibiotics or suppositories to “curtail” the smell of menstrual blood.

But here’s the thing: not every smell means you have an infection, and antibiotics should never be used simply because your period has a particular odour.

Pharm. Emmanuel explained the importance of understanding what is normal, recognising when an unusual odour may require attention, and most importantly, consulting a qualified healthcare professional before taking antibiotics or using suppositories.

Self-medication may seem like a quick fix, but the right treatment starts with knowing what is actually wrong. 🩺

At Period Bestie, we’re committed to having the conversations that help women understand their bodies, care for themselves better, and make informed decisions about their menstrual health.

Watch the video, learn something new, and share this with your period bestie. She needs to hear this too! ❤️

We LOVE a customer who does her research! 🥹💗

This particular Bestie came prepared — she had already done her research, gone through the questions, and understood what she was getting into. And honestly? It made her transition to the cup so much easier.

That’s exactly why we share so much information on our page. 🩷

Before you get your menstrual cup, ask questions, do your research, learn how it works, and give yourself time to get familiar with it. Education can make the experience so much less intimidating.

Your period deserves better. 💗

Our daughters shouldn’t have to figure out their periods alone because we’re too shy to talk about them.

Be intentional about your period, so you can be intentional about your daughter’s.

Periods are normal. But ignoring them shouldn’t be.

Don’t allow your daughter to have to figure it out all on their own ‼️ even you fathers

Blood clots during your period can happen—but when they’re larger or heavier than what’s normal for you, especially when accompanied by increased pain or unusually heavy bleeding, it’s worth paying attention.

Your period is giving you information about your body. Don’t ignore changes just because you’re used to them. 🩸

If something feels different from your usual, talk to a healthcare professional. ❤️

What if you stopped forcing yourself to create the same way every week?

I used to think I had to show up the same way every day to be productive.

Then I started paying attention to my menstrual cycle, and I realised that my energy, emotions and creativity don’t always look the same throughout the month.

Instead of fighting my body, I started learning how to work with it.

🩸 Menstrual phase: Slow down. Rest. Prioritise self-care and give your body the space it needs.

Follicular phase: Ideas may start flowing. Write them down, explore them and use this phase to brainstorm.

Ovulation phase: Feeling more energised? This can be a great time to film, batch-create, network and get things done.

Luteal phase: When emotions, sensitivity or overthinking start creeping in, don’t beat yourself up. Slow down, reassess and pour back into yourself.

Of course, every woman’s cycle is different, and your energy won’t always follow the same pattern every month. But learning to notice your own patterns can help you understand what your body may need.

Track your cycle. Understand your patterns. Work with your body, not against it.

At Period Bestie, we’re here to help you understand your period beyond just knowing when it’s coming.
