Being LGBTQ+ and this app/ time of the month

Sometimes it feels illegal to be using this app, biologically, I am female. I use He/Them pronouns. Being on my ‘Body’s Break time’ as my brother refers to it, has always been the most difficult time for me. Though this App has helped me to be able to keep up with these breaks. I’d like to share some things that I use that help, incase there’s anyone like me using this app, and I’d really appreciate any tips from others!

My favorite thing is these period underwear, of course I personally just use them at night, or if I know I won’t have much of a chance to frequently change my pad. They come in S/M too. I really like them because I can sleep normally and move around without the fear of bleeding on myself. I also recommend Ultra Thin, flex foam pads personally they come in a Size 5 which is really nice. Otherwise, I try to Avoid the pads that have things like ‘#girlpower’ written on them and so on (not that there’s anything wrong with it, but for me it causes some dysphoria.)

If any of my friends have any tips, tricks, and product favorites they have, please share!
