Menstrual cycle

The menstrual cycle accompanies the lives of many people for decades, yet the management of well-being during these phases is still often left to chance. Our selection includes over 60 references — dietary supplements, intimate hygiene products, devices, and natural solutions — designed to support daily comfort during the different phases of the cycle, from cleansing to body care, and even monitoring tools.

How to choose the right products for the menstrual cycle

First of all, it is useful to distinguish the macro-categories present in this collection: intimate hygiene products (physiological pH cleansers, wipes, menstrual cups, organic cotton or washable pads), dietary supplements based on plant extracts, minerals, or vitamins, and cycle monitoring devices. For each category, the guiding criterion is the composition: always check the label and technical data sheet, and for supplements, consult your doctor or pharmacist before purchasing, especially in case of specific conditions or ongoing therapies.

A common mistake is to buy generic products without considering one's specific needs: those with sensitive skin, for example, should prefer fragrance-free formulations with dermatologically tested ingredients. Similarly, for reusable devices like cups, it is essential to choose the correct size and rely on brands that comply with CE regulations for medical devices. Reading the instructions for use and warnings is always the first step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which intimate hygiene products are suitable during the cycle?

During the cycle, it is preferable to use intimate cleansers with a slightly acidic pH (between 3.5 and 4.5), free from harsh fragrances and alcohol, formulated not to alter the physiological bacterial flora. Always consult the indications on the product label.

Are menstrual cups safe and how do you choose them?

Cups that comply with medical device regulations (CE marking) are considered safe when used correctly. The choice of size mainly depends on the flow and individual anatomy: the manufacturer's instructions and, if necessary, the opinion of a gynecologist are the most reliable references.

Do menstrual cycle supplements have proven effects?

Dietary supplements are not medications and cannot claim therapeutic properties. Some ingredients (such as magnesium or B vitamins) have authorized nutritional claims at the European level. To assess whether a supplement is suitable for your situation, the advice of a doctor or pharmacist remains essential.
