Our bodies and our well-being

Our bodies and our well-being

by Shagun Maheshwari in Periods and Health

The #1 complaint we heard while researching existing pads is that “pads cause rashes”.

It’s accepted as a necessary and unavoidable evil – much like many other hardships associated with menstruation.

But this is the 21st century, and we can do better. Rashes are caused by chemicals that are released by plastic fibers, and rashes (and odors) are caused by bacteria that incubate in the core of the pad.

The bio-sourced plastic-free core layer that’s at the heart of Papaya pads not only coagulates blood, but is also anti-microbial. And, coagulated blood is a poor medium to grow bacteria in.

The result: A pad that is friendly to your skin, even when it is retaining blood.

What is the menstrual cycle?

What is the menstrual cycle?

The menstrual cycle is a process that occurs in the female reproductive system. It is typically around 28 days long, though it can be longer or shorter depending on the individual. The menstrual cycle involves hormonal, physical, and emotional changes, and can affect the life of anyone with a uterus. *Note: all phase lengths are approximate and vary from person to person* Phase 1: Menstruation In the first five days of the cycle, the period occurs. The uterus sheds its inner lining, leading to bleeding, cramps, and other symptoms of PMS. This is the most uncomfortable stage of the cycle for most women, but pain can typically be alleviated by medication, heat, and gentle exercise. Phase 2: Follicular Phase After menstruation, the follicular phase begins. The hypothalamus, a part of the brain, releases a hormone called FSH, which causes the ovaries to produce follicles, which contain eggs. The follicles also release estrogen, another hormone. During this phase, people typically experience an increase in energy and an improved mood. Physical activity and nourishing food is optimal during this phase to enhance well-being. Phase 3: Ovulation Around day 14 of the cycle, a mature egg is released from the ovary and goes through the fallopian tube, ready for fertilization. Estrogen levels are high during this phase, so sexual desire is often high as well. Tracking ovulation with predictor kits or monitoring basal body temperature can help people conceive or avoid pregnancy, as pregnancy risk is highest during ovulation. Phase 4: Luteal Phase and Pre-Menstruation After ovulation, the follicle becomes a structure called the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone, another hormone. Progesterone prepares the uterine lining for implantation of a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur, menstruation begins and the cycle restarts. Mood swings, bloating, and cravings are common during this phase, so self-care is critical. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, resting, and gentle exercise can alleviate the symptoms of PMS. Adapting self-care practices like exercise and diet to the menstrual cycle can improve a woman’s well-being astronomically. Prioritizing care of the body throughout each phase creates a balanced lifestyle. Each woman must remember to listen to her body, as each cycle is unique.

What causes period pain? And what can you do about it?

What causes period pain? And what can you do about it?

Period cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, typically occur due to the contraction of the uterus during menstruation. The uterus sheds its lining every month to prepare itself for potential pregnancy. The muscle contractions to expel the lining, triggered by the release of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, can lead to discomfort and cramping. The pain we feel as cramps can also be enhanced by other factors in the body. Hormonal changes and imbalances can increase sensitivity. Reduced blood flow in the uterine lining can also result in pain. Stress and anxiety can increase pain perception. Even things like genetics, age, and lifestyle can affect the caliber of cramps. Endometriosis can be another cause for extreme pain during periods. Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. During menstruation, the tissue also begins to break down and bleed, but it has no way to exit the body. It becomes trapped, which leads to swelling, pain, and the formation of scar tissue. It is a serious condition that should be discussed with a doctor if cramps are excessively painful. For typical cramps, over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen can alleviate the pain. Heating pads or taking a warm bath can help relax the uterine muscles. Regular exercise and a balanced diet (reduced salt, sugar, caffeine, and processed foods) can ease cramps over time. Hormonal birth control, such as pills or IUDs, can regulate hormonal changes, leading to milder periods and cramps.

Choose Any Three: How Papaya changed the menstrual pad game

Choose Any Three: How Papaya changed the menstrual pad game

Menstrual pads: Better for Your Health, Better for the Environment, More Comfortable. Choose any three.   It's an obvious joke, but a non-obvious design challenge. Almost without exception, focusing on any particular goal comes at the expense of the other ones. So for example consumers are used to the "fact" that if something is good-for-you, or good-for-the-environment, then it is necessarily less comfortable. You're always told to choose between comfort and health, between feeling dry and being environmental.   The only way to break this false choice is to change the game - and this is exactly what Papaya did. [embedyt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X0NjMhCvS8&width=225&height=400[/embedyt]     Before Papaya was ever a company, it was a messy experiment in Shagun's apartment. (Sadly, she doesn't have pictures from back then) She knew what she wanted to achieve (some manner of preventing menstrual pads from being a bane on the environment and the enemy of your skin) but she didn't yet know how. After more than a year of reading and experimenting, an idea emerged...   All other menstrual pads retain menstrual blood using the mechanism of absorption. Because of that, they're driven either to using Ultra-Absorbent Polymer cores (Plastic-based sponges, with all the health and environmental burdens of using plastics) or to less-absorbent natural fiber cores (thicker, not as dry, but healthier for you and better for the environment).   Shagun changed this game by creating pads that use the body's own natural mechanism of blood coagulation. Since the pads no longer need to super-absorb in order to retain menstrual blood, they can lose the plastics and rely on Papaya's bio-sourced coagulating core instead. And since they don't use absorption, they also can't un-absorb if squeezed by something like a bicycle seat.   Additionally, the coagulant's anti-microbial properties help fight odor build-up and skin rashes. Both of these issues are mostly a result of bacterial growth and activity while retained inside the pad, next to your body, and so an anti-microbial core layer greatly alleviates them.   The innovation didn't stop at the core layer. Once plastics were banished from the core, it became logical to banish them from the entire layer stack that constitutes the pad. And from the backing sheet. And from the packaging.   With Papaya pads, dry means literally dry. Period!
