Don’t Stockpile Sanitary Products. Instead Buy These.

March 20, 2020 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

This week in the media it has been all about stockpiling and crazy hoarding scenes from across the globe.

Last week we wrote an article about alternatives to toilet paper, but since then the shortages have expanded. 3 days ago I was sent a text message from a major supermarket chain employee telling me to stockpile sanitary products.

This shortage doesn’t affect me, because my daughter and I have already been using Modibodi re-usable period underwear for the past year.

I didn’t even have to forward that warning on to anyone because as each teenager girl needed products the girls were already chatting openly about the underwear.

I had parents calling me asking me which products to buy as my daughter had told their daughter and so on and so on.

This whole craziness of shortages has open everyone’s mind to consumerism. How many facials tissues are you throwing in the bin instead of using re-useable handkerchiefs into the washing machine?  How many rolls of toilet paper are you using when you could use re-useable wipes or simply water.  If there is one good thing out of this Coronavirus stockpiling is that it will teach us all that we can manage without and just how much we consume.

So back to the underwear. I personally recommend the full breath underwear for teenagers. I know they like pretty colors and nice shapes, but when you have your period do you really care that your underwear is spotted?  The full breath gave my daughter full coverage of her butt cheeks and allowed for movement, handstands, cartwheels etc.

She tried lighter color underwear and found the sight of the “bloodstain” off-putting, so for us, BLACK or those with a black gusset are best!  She used her normal range for swimming when she was caught out at a party and they worked just fine, but Modi Bodi does have a full swimwear range. We are yet to try them though.

For me, I have always used tampons so on heavy days I prefer to use tampons so I don’t have that feeling of blood loss.

However it’s not a big enough problem to make me rush out and stockpile tampons.

I hope this helps you to move forward to not only avoid shortages but to invest in our environment too!

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
