1. Talk openly about your periods with those around you
Breaking the taboos around periods is an essential first step in living your cycle better. By talking about it with your friends, family, or even colleagues, you normalize an experience shared by millions of people every day. This simple act can also encourage meaningful conversations and strengthen your sense of connection with others.
2. Record your cycles in a calendar or app
Understanding your cycle is a way to better understand yourself. By tracking your cycle in a calendar or app, you can anticipate the phases of your cycle and better manage your symptoms. Many apps offer tools to track your emotions, energy, or even food cravings—a great way to align your daily life with your well-being.
3. Adopt reusable menstrual products
If you haven't already, why not try reusable menstrual products like menstrual discs this year? They're not only economical and eco-friendly, but also incredibly practical. At Fornix, we've designed menstrual discs that adapt to your body , while providing optimal comfort. In 2025, do something for yourself and the planet!
4. Make time for yourself during your periods
Your body does an incredible job during your periods. Why not treat yourself to a little extra pampering during this time? Whether it’s a warm bath, a gentle yoga session, or simply a cozy evening with a good book, these little moments can turn your menstrual experience into an opportunity to pamper yourself.
5. Explore new ways to relieve menstrual pain
If menstrual pain is part of your experience, know that there are natural ways to soothe it. Try herbal infusions, breathing exercises , or even a targeted self-massage to relieve tension. And if the pain persists, don't hesitate to consult a healthcare professional.
6. Educate the new generation about the menstrual cycle
Talking about menstruation to young people gives them the tools to grow in confidence and break down stigmas from the start. Whether it's with your children , your nieces, or the young people around you, explain the menstrual cycle to them in a simple and positive way. It will be a great contribution to the next generation!
7. Incorporate foods adapted to each phase of your cycle
Your diet can play a key role in your menstrual well-being. During your period, choose iron-rich foods like spinach or legumes. During the premenstrual phase, omega-3s found in walnuts or chia seeds can help you manage symptoms. Listening to your body and adjusting your diet can make a real difference.
8. Try practices that respect your natural rhythm
Your menstrual cycle is a kind of internal compass. Why not use it to adjust your daily rhythm ? For example, during your period, you could opt for gentler practices like yoga or meditation. During the ovulatory phase, when your energy is at its peak, take on ambitious projects or activities that motivate you!
9. Pay attention to your body's signals
Your body is constantly communicating with you, especially during your cycle. If you notice any unusual changes, such as severe pain or irregular periods, it’s important to take them seriously. Don’t hesitate to consult a specialist to make sure everything is okay.
10. Support initiatives to combat period poverty
Finally, make a difference by supporting organizations that fight against period poverty. It can be as simple as donating menstrual products or raising awareness about this cause among those around you. Together, we can contribute to a more just and united world!
The New Year is the perfect opportunity to take care of yourself and your menstrual well-being. Choose one or more of these resolutions according to your energy and desires and adapt them to your own needs. Remember: every little bit counts, and you deserve to feel good throughout your cycle.
