2025/11/27

Let’s explore the too-many-options-to-choose world that is period products... and their impact on your menstrual experience. I share my personal journey with various period products, from using conventional pads, being scared of tampons to transitioning to more sustainable options like reusable cloth pads, period underwear, eventually discovering the power of… free bleeding. I also touch on the environmental AND health impacts of conventional menstrual products (there’s so much emerging research

Dive in with me today as I explore the intersection of love and menstrual cycles, in maybe what's my favourite ep to date! In this episode, I discuss my recent experiences in a new, committed relationship and how we've navigated conversations about menstruation, fertility awareness, and hormonal health.

In this episode I navigate the complexities of menstrual health, particularly focusing on the weirder strategies I've used to manage period pain. From imagining period pain as labor pain, to integrating intuitive movement and sound techniques (hello, vagus nerve!), I share quirky but hopefully helpful tips. I also delve into the importance of recognizing stress (both negative and positive) on our bodies, and how changes in diet and sleep can affect our menstrual cycles. Join me as I open up

What is discharge, actually? How much 'wetness' down there is TOO much? How do I know if I've got thrush or an infection? Where does cervical fluid come from? What's that white stuff that I see in my underwear sometimes? What's that slippery stuff I notice after wiping at other times? Wait... is squirting just pee? Is female ejaculation a thing?These are the VERY valid (and equally fascinating) questions that will be uncovered in today's episode, all about "WAPs"

2025/08/15

In this episode of Oh My Menses, I (as your certified menstrual cycle enthusiast!) dive into the realm of fertility tracking and natural contraception methods. A recent study from Latrobe University criticizes the reliability of birth control advice from health influencers on TikTok, which is fair, tbh. But there's a method of natural contraception that the medical industry is quick to dismiss in favour of pharmaceutical birth control options. As a passionate advocate and user of fertility

Welcome to my IRL Karinda’s Corner — the new reading nook in my home office, made possible by my moon chair made for camping, a $2 op-shop shawl, a chakra crystal lamp & a pretty coloured LED ring light.I felt inspired to read a passage from “Blood Rites: The Spiritual Practice of Menstruation” by Jane Hardwicke Collings. I was enjoying some Day 2 reading by myself, and the words just lit up my soul. “I have to share this”, I thought. And out came the camera.This video was originally created for

Today, I’m offering you a peek behind the curtains of my life and share an interaction with my mum, where she couldn’t understand why, in her words, I “let my period rule my life.” She didn’t get my need to align my social plans with my menstrual cycle.

I reflect on my recent foray into the world of online dating after being single for 18 months, exploring the impact of the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle—follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual—on my emotions, behaviours, and decision-making in when it comes to romance & sexuality.

What does a healthy woman look like? Why does the Western medical model insist on hormonal birth control as being the epitome of women's health concerns?→ PREFER TO READ?

A rambly albeit helpful exploration of (1) why the luteal phase can feel rough AF, and (2) practical AND a lil more woo-woo ways that we can support ourselves to have the a more smooth, manageable premenstrual phase.I emphasise the importance of working with these 5 categories: Nutrition, Movement, Sleep, Light, Nervous System Regulation - because if there are any imbalances here, they're likely to impact your premenstrual vibe greatly.
