What is *actually* in menstrual fluid? Our latest reel had a lot of comments on what menstrual fluid is made up of and if using alternatives is good for testing absorbency of period products. As you can see above, when it comes to menstrual fluid it is a lot more than just blood.

How to deal with Dan’s excuses

‘Scientists check the absorbency of period products with blood for the first time’ No, that is not a study from the 70s, 80s or even the 90s this is from a study released this month. Up until this study, scientists were checking absorbency of period products with saline solution…SALINE. We have said it before and we are going to say it again: why did this take so long?!?

It’s common for teens to have unpredictable periods. Track with Clue to understand your patterns.

How much blood do you lose on your period? 🩸 Everyone’s cycle is unique, so knowing your baseline can help you notice any changes. Healthcare professionals used to define heavy menstrual bleeding as losing more than 80ml of blood in one period. However, this doesn’t account for personal experiences like leaks or disruptions to daily life. If you’re feeling dizzy, faint, fatigued, or unable to go about your day due to heavy bleeding, reach out to your provider

#stitch with @morganpresleyxo wait, what?

What tampon size should I use? When it comes to tampons, size = absorbency. When you start using tampons, it is recommended to go with the lowest absorbency and work your way up as you get more comfortable. How do you know you have the right absorbency for your flow? As a general rule, if you’re bleeding through a tampon in less than 4 hours, you likely need a higher absorbency. Similarly, if you’re changing a tampon after 4-6 hours and it’s not mostly saturated, you likely need to change down to a lower absorbency tampon. Mini/light 🩸🩸: for a light flow day. Normal/regular 🩸🩸🩸: for medium flow days. Super 🩸🩸🩸🩸: for heavy flow days. Super Plus/ultra 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸: for the heaviest flow. Please note that tampon sizes/absorbency names, and fluid retention estimates may vary by brand. Be sure to read the packaging.

Do you need to use protection for oral s*x? YES – because some STIs can still be spread from the g*nitals to the mouth and vice versa. Using a barrier method is the best way to prevent giving or getting an STI during oral s*x. While condoms are easily accessible for oral s*x involving a p*nis, what about the v*lva or a*us? Here’s how to turn a condom into a dental dam.

Having an STI screening test can bring out anxiety in the best of us. Which is why I was excited to try Daye's tampon-based at-home screening test. The STI test comes straight to your door and then the results are emailed to you within 5 days. One question we had for @Daye when we received the kit was 🧐: Wait, so you really just use a tampon??? 🎤Yes, tampons are a non-invasive, familiar way (for many of us) to obtain a test sample that makes the screening experience at home more comfortable and accessible. One thing to note is that you can’t be on your period when taking the test. Follow the link in our stories to learn more and try the kit at home. Currently only available in the UK. NOTE: Like every other diagnostic test, lab results are not sufficient for a diagnosis. Daye offers the option to connect with independent CQC-regulated healthcare providers virtually and in-person for a confirmed diagnosis.

Last month, Florida Republican, Stan McClain introduced a bill that, if passed, would ban talking and learning about menstrual cycles in elementary school. On average menstruation starts between the ages of 10-15 but some people can start their period from as young as 8 years old. Restrictions on reproductive and sexual health education should not be a conversation we’re having in 2023. No one should be allowed to limit understanding YOUR own body. #justsayperiod Help Clue to break down taboos at our link in bio 👉

The health benefits of caffeine are a hot debate ☕️

If you’re trying to conceive, it’s not worth trying on just any day of your cycle. Studies show that the six days with the highest chance to succeed are the five days leading up to ovulation plus the day of ovulation. However, if you want to avoid getting pregnant, be mindful that ovulation doesn’t always happen on the same day each cycle. Chances of pregnancy, however low, are never 0% and depend on many factors, so choose and use a contraceptive method that is right for you.

Discharge is normal. Most people with vaginas experience it. So why aren’t we talking about it enough?

V*ginal discharge is nothing to be ashamed of. But is there such a thing as too much of it? It’s different for every person so knowing your baseline throughout your cycle is important and can help you notice any changes. If you have discharge that is an unusual colour, strong smell, and if it’s accompanied by any pain, itching, or discomfort, it’s a good idea to read out to your healthcare provider.

Some people are not sure what boundaries are and we wanted to take a moment to look at what they actually mean for you and the people in your life. The bottom line? Boundaries are about YOU and the limits of what you are comfortable with, they are not about placing restrictions on others. In the context of a relationship, boundaries can be healthy when they are mutually agreed on, but not when imposed by one partner on another.

Are blood clots on your period “normal”? They’re actually pretty common. Seeing large chunks of blood during your period can feel a little scary, but for many people, it’s a typical part of heavier flow days.#PioresSituaçõesSemArCondicionado

We’ve been reading your comments on our video about how much blood is typically lost during the average period and noticed that some of you mention losing much more than the typical 5-80ml. This got us thinking—it’s a good time to talk about Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB). While periods vary from person to person, determining whether you have HMB is as simple as evaluating the impact of your period's bleeding volume on your daily life. To learn more about HMB, check the link in our bio.

We didn’t think it was possible to relate this hard to a stingray - but here we are. Unless you’re new to the Internet, you’ll remember Charlotte the stingray who was thought to have a ‘miracle pregnancy’ either by asexual reproduction, or that she was pregnant with a possible shark-ray hybrid. After so many months of anticipation and speculation, it turns out that she has actually been suffering from a rare reproductive disease that was overlooked this whole time. #justiceforcharlotte

Here’s everything to know about getting an STI test in Berlin 👉 German public health insurance covers STI tests if you have symptoms or a reason to suspect infection (e.g., a partner informs you of an STI). With private insurance, coverage depends on your plan, but you typically pay upfront and get reimbursed. Here are some places you can get tested: Praxis Prenzlauer Berg Open to everyone, focusing on HIV, AIDS, and STIs. Cost: Covered if there are symptoms or suspicion. On-site tests only covered by private insurance. Berliner Aids-Hilfe eV Open to anyone, offers free consultations. Cost: HIV rapid test: 15€. General STI test: 25€. Avi Medical Open to anyone, accepts private and public insurance. Cost: Covered if there are symptoms or suspicion. Full STI testing: 200-300€. Checkpoint BLN Open to gay and bisexual men, their partners, and trans and intersex people, regardless of sexual orientation. Cost: 5-25€ depending on tests. Free HIV/STI tests for those with low income. Sam Health DE At-home testing available for everyone. Cost: First general STI test: 75€ (subsequent tests: 59€); subsidized testing kits for 10€ for those in need (contact advisors for eligibility).

Not necessarily in that order 😇

PSA: You CAN get pregnant on your period. (This might be breaking news for @ilana glazer character in BABES movie) We asked our Science Team to elaborate. Conception can occur if you have unprotected sex during your period, but it depends on a few factors. Your period length is a factor. People with predictable, “typical-length” (24-28 day) cycles are less likely to have their fertile window (the days when pregnancy is most likely to occur) when menstruating, whereas people with short or unpredictable cycles are more likely to have their fertile window during menstruation Age is also a factor. As you get older, you may ovulate earlier in your cycle, meaning your fertile window can overlap with your period. If you have unprotected sex during your period when it overlaps with your potential ovulation days, then pregnancy can occur. If you want to avoid pregnancy (and are not on any type of long term birth control) remember to use condoms when having s*x EVEN on your period 🙏🩸 We partnered with the team behind BABES for this post. See BABES in select cities today, everywhere May 24 @NEON #babesmovie

RAGE TRIGGER ALERT 🧨 Arizona’s highest court yesterday voted to reimpose a law passed in 1864 banning nearly all abortions, a decision that will hugely impact essential healthcare for women and people with cycles. Arizona’s Supreme Court ruled that because Roe v. Wade had been overturned, the state was free to enforce its long-dormant law that dates back to before women were even allowed to vote. “Physicians are now on notice that all abortions, except those necessary to save a woman’s life, are illegal,” the court said.

Twilight fall 🤝 luteal phase

We took to the streets of Berlin to find out about your first period experiences and you couldn’t stop talking about… your moms! In a recent Clue survey, 71% of respondents said their moms were their main source of information about periods when they started puberty. The people and sources we turn to at menarche can have a big influence on shaping how feel about our periods going forward. Do you remember your first period experience? Is there anything you wish had been different? The more we openly talk about it, the less uncertainty and shame the next generation will feel.

TikTok has evolved from just a source of entertainment—it’s now the go-to search engine for teens and twenty-somethings. While some amazing skincare and health tips have emerged (hey, slugging), there’s just as much misinformation on TikTok as there is in your mum’s neighborhood watch Facebook group. The latest myth? Calling the luteal phase the “worst cycle stage EVER.” Let’s set the record straight: you can’t believe everything you read on social media, but you can trust this. #lutealphase

We're all here for more menstrual health research. What we're not here for is research taken out of context for click-bait. When it comes to tampons, here's why there's no need to panic.

Do you think you may have an underlying condition but are not sure what to do? We gave Daye’s online Period Pain Clinic a try. It’s an online service created to help you on your diagnosis journey. We know there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the path to a diagnosis but I found it helpful in understanding where my period pain was on the scale in relation to other people, and what possible underlying causes I should consider. It was also helpful for getting in touch with a specialist (those who know the struggle of getting appointments KNOW how important this can be!) @Daye
