October is also for Breast Cancer Awareness! It’s important to not only know your status but how to test at home.

If you don’t know, here are your steps to check at home below:

1. Look: Stand in front of a mirror with arms down, then raised. Notice new swelling, dimpling, redness, or ni**le changes.

2. Get comfortable: Lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head.

3. Feel: Use the pads of your left hand’s three middle fingers. Make small circles using light, medium, then firm pressure.

4. Cover the whole area: Move in up-and-down rows across your breast—from collarbone to below the breast, and breastbone to armpit.

5. Switch sides: Repeat on your left breast, noticing new lumps, thickening, or changes.

Notice something new? Contact your healthcare provider. Most lumps aren’t cancer, but new changes need checking.

Knowing your breasts helps you notice changes. Self-checks do not replace mammograms.

See you tomorrow!!

Period Poverty is real ❣️

On October 10th, Intimacy Out Loud will be partnership with Black Soil: Our Better Nature for the 2nd year in hosting Period Out Loud: No Shame. Just Periods. for Period Action Day! This event is centered around period education, access, dignity, and breaking the shame surrounding menstruation.

But I need YOUR help in showing up for our community ❣️

Period products are not optional. Pads, tampons, wipes, and personal hygiene products are necessities, yet the cost of managing a period month after month can create a financial burden. Some already have to choose between what bills should be paid, how much groceries they can afford, childcare and the list goes on. Buying period products can become one expense they simply cannot afford!

THAT IS PERIOD POVERTY!

I want us to show up for our girls, young women and women in a tangible way! I am currently accepting donations monetary and actually products. If you decide to donate products please just make sure they are unscented as we don’t know what someone maybe allergic or sensitive to.

I’m looking for the following:
❤️ Pads in various sizes and absorbencies
❤️ Tampons
❤️ Feminine / personal wipes
❤️ Panty Liners
❤️ Personal hygiene products
❤️ Other menstrual care essentials

Every donation matters here, when we come together, those smaller donations become bags filled with products that can make someone’s month a little easier.

Any remaining products will be kept with myself and Black Soil as I have baskets at both locations were products can be picked up at anytime for FREE!

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have! Let’s make October 10th a day to remember ❣️

Gather round, let’s discuss period poverty! Not everyone can afford all the things they need every month and that’s just the sad truth. Menstrual products should not be a luxury when they are things needed every single month to help a girl or woman get through that time!

These items should be free and if not free much cheaper, if a woman can’t afford products then she’s called nasty or dirty because she’s having to free bleed then that turns into time missed at work, possibly losing their job and so forth!

Make it make sense ❣️❣️❣️

No one should have to go out!

Sis, unfortunately period cramps are not created equally. For some they don’t exist and for others they can be so bad you have to miss school or work.

Whenever it becomes so painful that it affects your daily life please don’t ignore that. If you’re under 18, please talk to your parent so they can contact your daughter and ladies over 18 contact your doctor because this isn’t normal. There are things you can be tested and receive the right treatment to ease these things. It’s not an overnight fix but never stop advocating for yourself!

You’ve got this❣️

Come see me this Saturday at Black Soil KY from 1pm - 3pm for I’ll have free menstrual products on hand and will gladly answer questions!

Sis, the pad is not classified information❣️

Somewhere along the way, we learned to turn a bathroom trip into a secret mission. But caring for your body is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Carry the pad. Pass the tampon. Let’s show the next generation that periods don’t need to come with shame. ❤️

Be honest, have you ever done the sleeve tuck? (I know I have 😂) 👀⬇️

No Shame. Just Periods.

Parents this one is for you!

Let’s not wait until our daughters hit the age of menstruation to have the talk with them, have it before so when it does happen they aren’t in such a state of shock!

Explain leakage, how often to change products, what they look like and how to use them, hygeine, etc.

Lastly make them feel comfortable that they can talk to you at any time, as the body changes so does the attitude, hormones, cravings and emotions. Knowing you’ll always be there is important!

Do me a favor when your daughter starts her first period, PLEASE celebrate growing up and not making her feel like her childhood has suddenly disappeared!

Getting a period doesn’t instantly make you a woman. Shes still your baby❣️

She’s just learning something new about her body 🥰

Periods shouldn’t be used to dismiss someone emotions.

❣️ Someone can be angry
❣️ Someone can be frustrated
❣️ Someone can have a bad day
❣️ Someone can disagree with you

Reducing every emotion a menstruating woman experiences to hormones teaches us that their feelings aren’t valid! Yes, hormonal changes can affect her mood. No, that’s doesn’t mean every emotion should be dismissed!

Period education also means changing the LANGAUGE surrounding periods!

Join me October 10th at Black Soil! I’ll have free menstrual cycle products on hand!
