Gangestad SW, Thornhill R. Menstrual cycle variation in women’s preferences for the scent of symmetrical men. Proceedings Biol Sci 1998; 265: 927–933. Generally, PMS symptoms last for a few days to a week before the start of a period and - although pretty dang unpleasant - shouldn’t have a significant impact on your overall well being. But, this isn’t the case for everyone. Common PMS symptoms We’re an open, straight-talking and transparent brand that is trying to navigate the right language. We will continue to promote that discrimination prevents all people from having equal opportunities – and we make no apology for that stance. This is the hard conversation everyone needs to have and we’re here to have it. Join the conversation. Many people will also experience a mental health condition at some point in our lives, whether that’s just briefly or something that has to be managed long term. Understanding how our hormones interplay with existing mental health conditions can help to avoid misdiagnosing PMS or PMDD. We’ll go into more detail about this a bit later in the guide. Hormonal changes and how they affect your mood During this phase, you may want to limit your intake of fatty and salty foods, and drink herbal tea like chamomile to soothe cramps. Depending on how heavy your flow is, you may also benefit from increasing your iron intake around this time. It is believed that around 1mg of iron is lost for every day of bleeding, so adding foods like red meat, spinach and other dark leafy greens could help.

It’s all about that breathable cotton. It can often be tempting to buy the cheapest underwear, since it’s probably not on show very often. Similarly, it’s easy to gravitate towards those colourful, sexy pants with the frills, because why not, eh? Actually, you may want to think about more than just the price and the way they look. Ensure the room you’re sleeping in is ventilated (opening the window for a short period of time each day can help to increase oxygen levels in the room) and make your bed as comfortable as possible. My career started in earnest when I dropped out of college. I have always found it easier to learn by doing, and I couldn’t wait to get started under my own steam. After leaving school, I knew I wanted to work under entrepreneurial people who had the same mindset as me. I have worked at a number of companies in that time - mainly young, agile companies where I could be hands-on in my role and helpthem overcome difficult business challenges. My roles included legal assistant, fashion buyer, and projectmanager. However, I always knew I wanted to start my own business - which is what I eventually got the chance to do. Through the sponsorship, the brand is aiming to build its brand awareness and bridge its digital offering with the physical world of influential live music fans.A pheromone is a chemical produced by animals that changes the behavior of another animal of the same species. Whether or not that same superpower extends to humans is a hot topic, and regularly debated in the science community. B vitamins can be useful for controlling weight. Any deficiencies in these vitamins can affect thyroid function and consequently affect the metabolism. Our formula includes vitamins B2, B3, B5 and B6.

Although more testing is needed, there hasn’t been a huge amount of research into how different materials used in tampons affect women’s bodies. So far in the tests that have been done, there’s been no conclusive evidence that the materials used in the construction of tampons increase the risk of shedding, bacteria growth, TSS or yeast infections. Research on scent in relation to attractiveness, though inconclusive, is fascinating. Firstly, there may be evidence to suggest that you become attracted to specific types of people at various points in your cycle, with one study finding that female sexual preferences change depending on whether or not they are ovulating. It’s not unusual to start feeling a little detached in the days before your period. Social gatherings and parties suddenly seem less than appealing and your motivation is at a monthly low. If you’re feeling emotional or teary, it can be exhausting trying to bottle your emotions up. Allow yourself to cry if that’s how you feel. Finding an outlet like watching a weepy film or listening to music in a space of your own, on your own terms, can be cathartic. Coping with PMSPlus, many of these fabrics are not breathable, meaning they trap in moisture and odour which increases your risk of bacterial infections in your vagina - your girl gotta breathe! What’s best? While the science is still debated, it has since been found that pheromones can in fact affect mood and sexual feelings in women, albeit very subtly, through the odour produced during our menstrual cycle. Interesting… So can scent influence your cycle? If you suffer from diabetes and your hormones seem unpredictable, trying to manage your blood sugar alongside this can be challenging. One solution won’t suit everyone, but here are a few things you might want to know about this frustrating but important topic... How is blood sugar connected to your period? If you believe PMS symptoms are having a recurring, lasting and significant negative effect on your wellbeing, it may be worth exploring the possibility of PMDD, and/or your overall emotional and mental health. If your PMS symptoms are causing issues then exercise is probably the last thing from your mind, so do less strenuous activities instead, like yoga or walking. You can also try to incorporate stress-relieving activities, like meditation or a calming hobby to lower cortisol levels, and since blood sugar tends to be higher during this phase, try to avoid high-carb foods and simple sugars.
