7 Things I Bet You Didn't Know About Australia's Cult Natural Deodorant
The story of how Axilla went from my glove box to 2 million armpits.
Period care is the biggest part of this, with organic cotton tampons and pads from TOM Organic and Tsuno, bamboo pads from Tsuno, bamboo period underwear from Boody, and reusables from Hello Period and Pelvi. If you're moving to a cup, Hello Period make five fits including a low cervix and a high cervix version, which is the bit most brands don't tell you about. There are two menstrual discs, two sterilisers, and a TENS machine for cramping. On lubricant, Yes make both a water-based and a plant-oil-based formula, and the Kolorex range is built around horopito, a New Zealand native plant.
Cup fit is about cervix height, not just flow, and it's why so many people give up after one go. Your cervix sits at a different height through your cycle and it varies between people, so a cup that's too long will poke and one that's too short is hard to reach. Check with a clean finger on day two or three of your period. If you reach your cervix at the first knuckle you want a low cervix cup. If you can barely reach it, high cervix. Hello Period make both, plus small, medium and large for flow.
Every formula is checked on its own, same as the rest of the site, which matters more here than most places because these products sit against some of the most absorbent skin on the body. Almost everything in this range carries a three nectarine rating. You can read the full NO List and how the ratings work on our Standard page.
