Hands and Feet

• Keep them cut and clean
• Avoid walking bare foot
• Hydrate skin with lotion or oils

Body Hair

• Shave, Trim, or Nair body hair to assist with trapped body odors!

Oral Care

• Brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste
• Floss daily
• Brush your tongue
• Don't rinse after brushing (let fluoride set on teeth)
• Visit your dentist at least twice a year.

Helpful Tip:

Avoid using mouthwash right after brushing with fluoride toothpaste, as it can wash away the fluoride. Instead, use it at a different time, such as after a meal.

Knowing what Size to use?

Heavy flow: Days when you experience more blood loss. You may need a "Super" or "Super Plus" tampon or a heavy absorbency pad to prevent leaks.

Medium flow: Mid-period days. A "Regular" size tampon or pad is often sufficient for medium flow.

Light flow: When your period starts or tapers off. You can use a "Light" tampon or pad.
