Say good-bye to those pesky blood stains while saying hello at next month’s tweet chat!

Not only do we have a great new topic planned for our January 11 chat (Menopause & Puberty: A Dangerous Combo, featuring special guest @BodyScienceMed) we have a great new giveaway to go with it thanks to our wonderful sponsor Ruby’s Red Wash. To help promote the chat and encourage participation we’ll be giving away a unique gift pack – a full size bottle of Ruby’s Red Wash PLUS a travel size bottle decked out in holiday style!

Rubys-Red-Wash-Holiday-BottleNot just for panties – check out all the great ways to use Ruby’s Red Wash:

1. Removal of menstrual stains from underwear
2. Erases period stains from clothing and other fabrics
3. Terrific for washing and cleaning cloth menstrual pads
4. Perfect for removing menstrual stains from mattresses
5. Works wonderfully as an all-around stain remover for anyone with children. (Removes blood stains from clothing produced by falls or scrapes. Also, removes other “biological” stains such as vomit or diaper stains.)

It even dissolves dried, set-in blood. Quite simply, any girl or woman who bleeds or has a period ever needs Ruby’s Red Wash. You are never too young or too old to make your life easier with RRW!

“I was asked to test this product, and I’ve been using it for more than a year. I can tell you – it works on underwear, sheets, clothes, everything! I can’t live without it!” – Lindsay

November 9th will not only bring about another fun tweet chat, but also another great giveaway! We are thrilled to have Jessica Marie & Suzan Hutchinson joining us as specials guests as we discuss, Menstrual Understanding and Creativity.

To help promote the chat and encourage participation, Jessica Marie, founder & artist at Vulva Love Lovely has generously donated not 1 but 3 menstrual journals to give away during the chat. Be sure to check out her unique artwork at VulvaLoveLovely.com

Period-Tracker

Why a menstrual journal?

“Tracking your period is a pretty important habit to pick up. It helps you establish a base-line for the usual number of days in your cycle, symptoms, and so on. Drastic changes in these can mean a bad interaction with new meds or something much more.

But for the most park Period Trackers totally suck. Why?

Because they focus on one thing and one thing alone: tracking negative symptoms of your period.

And yes, there is something other than negative symptoms. Do a scholarly search of medical journals and with some serious digging you’ll find something astounding: positive symptoms.

September 14th we’ll be celebrating the Back to School season with our wonderful co-host You ARE Loved with a Back to School: Periods 101 Tweet Chat. And thanks to Ann Germanow, founder of Scensibles we have another great giveaway to offer.

Scensibles: A personal disposal bag systemOne concern many parents have is their daughter’s feminine hygiene while at school. An issue that can be magnified when there is a lack of receptacles in girls bathrooms (especially at elementary school levels). This makes Scensibles a perfect giveaway for September’s topic. To help promote and encourage participation in next month’s chat we’ll be giving away a box of Scensibles to two lucky winners.

What are Scensibles?
Scensibles are sanitary disposal bags specially designed for safe, easy and clean disposal of feminine care products—sanitary pads, tampons and applicators, disposable cups (like Softcups), personal care wipes, and panty liners. Scensibles are personal size oxo-biodegradable scented plastic bags with a contemporary pink on pink design, tie handle closure and built in antimicrobial agents to inhibit the growth of odor causing bacteria.
