Women Only: Washable Organic Cotton Menstrual Pads

I did a post on reusable and washable Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads in my health blog and thought it would interest you ladies here. I know it may sound strange to use 'washable' menstrual pads as all of us are taught how to use disposable ones since we are young girls. Perhaps let's take a closer look at our traditional disposable menstrual pads.

First of all, we need to ask the benefits of Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads?
Do you know that the most major brands of menstrual pads on the supermarket or pharmacy contain dioxin, a known carcinogen and has been linked to cervical cancer, breast cancer, endometriosis, and immune system suppression. Regular exposure can cause vaginal irritation and yeast infection.

In addition, pesticides contained in disposable pads and tampons have been linked to birth defects, infertility, breast cancer, sterility, and respiratory problems.

Here are some examples of Sckoon Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads in various kinds and sizes:

Using Organic Cotton Cloth Menstrual/Postpartum Pads is not only healthy and safe but these washable organic cotton cloth pads come in fun designs and colours. I'll be ordering few to try out, this should be cheaper than buying disposable pantiliners in the long run and more comfortable too. Check out the entire range at the website.

pregnancy and parenting resources

I just got news from a friend in Shanghai who is expecting her second baby. She is one of those who enjoys pregnancy and going through labour - how rare! Yet, I am encouraged by her enthusiasm and excitement in parenting, especially when she told me about how she truly cherished her parenting moments with her first child.

Whether you are expecting for the first time or second, or even third, it is important to keep a positive attitude and maintain a cheerful countenance. Keep yourself and the baby healthy can be achieved with healthy eating habits including exercise and a well-balanced lifestyle. During the EARLY PREGNANCY stage, you should also include relevant vitamins and supplements into your daily dietary plans. These days, the internet provides a pool of resources for the expectant moms. You can educate yourself with useful articles on parenting, pregnancy, childbirth and videos on related topics. I find the 'green parenting' article to be interesting and appropriate for today's modern eco-parents. Don't forget to gather some tips on baby's growth and sleeping habits too!

checking on on bra shaper

I'm never quite bothered about this until my blogging buddy, Shoppingmum told me about bra shaper. Huh? I don't even know these things exist - lol! Being an extended nursing mom for two good years, I haven't paid much attention to sexy linger or nice bras. Why bother when it is hard to buy the right bra size when you are nursing.

But now that I have stopped nursing Clayton for coming one year, a bra shaper might be a good idea to tone up the breast tissue. Women are blessed with these wonderful assets so why not take good care of them when you can. I'll let shoppingmum update me on how bra shaper experience before investing in one. It's not cheap leh - RM900!!!

women, weight loss and looking good

I have read too many articles about women putting their minds, hearts and souls into losing the weight, mainly for all of the great health benefits usually. The sad part about this is, after massive amounts of weight loss, sometimes your body does not look very attractive, due to the enormous amounts of loose, flabby skin, surrounding the body that you have worked so hard to make physically fit. When you see this skin, you are probably in shock and horror, especially considering how hard you have worked to get that weight off that has made you feel so bad about yourself for so long. Many times, people with this saggy skin end up having to have surgery to remove it and some of those people are choosing the liposuction procedure.

Of late, I have heard of a procedure known as Beverly Hills liposuction available at Beverly Hill's famous plastic surgery center. The center is well known for its luxury settings and impeccable service offering procedures that include breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction, Botox treatments and more.

Losing weight is not an easy task and staying healthy is not either. Your life is in your hands, take it on the ride of its life!
