1. Stop heavy menstrual bleeding with homeopathy
Did you know that heavy periods can be a sign of endometriosis? If you regularly suffer from excessive period pain or lower abdominal pain, play it safe and get checked out by your doctor.
The pill, ibuprofen, exercise, and so on and so on ... in countless years of menstrual experience, you learn how to stop your period. But what about homeopathy? Is it all just hocus-pocus or can it also minimize heavy periods?
Homeopathic medicines are used primarily for menstrual disorders and complaints. Many of the preparations have a gentle, hormone-free regulating effect on the female hormone balance.
These are the classics :
- Belladonna for bright red bleeding, severe, cramping pain and feeling of heat
- China (Cinchona succirubra) for dark red, heavy bleeding that starts prematurely
- Hamamelis helps with irregular but long-lasting, dark bleeding
- Millefolium for a strong, bright red, long-lasting bleeding
2. Home remedies
- sport
You often hear or read that exercise can help with heavy periods. You have to find out for yourself whether it's really your thing. If you don't want to do much exercise during your period, you can simply try out a few other home remedies.
- yarrow
Yarrow, for example, is said to constrict blood vessels. However, you should definitely seek advice on the dosage because even pure nature can have side effects.
- iron-rich food
Diet also plays an important role in stopping heavy menstrual bleeding. During the hot phase, your diet should primarily include foods that contain a lot of iron and potassium. These could be lentils, raisins or bananas, for example.
Extra tip: A cold compress on your abdomen can help relieve inflammation and reduce bleeding.
3. Menorrhagia? Go to the doctor!
You should not only see a doctor immediately if you suspect endometriosis , but you should also have heavy menstrual bleeding for no reason checked out.
In fact, there is a disease that can be the trigger for your symptoms: menorrhagia .
The symptoms of menorrhagia can vary:
- Bleeding that lasts longer than a week.
- Blood clots and lumps in the panties.
- Pad or tampon MUST be changed every hour or every two hours.
- Even at night you literally run out of energy...
- First signs of anemia, such as paleness and weakness.
4. Should I stop the bleeding or not?
Periods are one of those things that are just part of life . If they don't come on time (and we aren't planning on getting pregnant) we tend to panic. So menstruation does have something good about it .

5. How do panties work?
Wetlands? There are some elsewhere. Our Stay Dry Layer Technology absorbs liquids in a flash so that you stay dry. You can choose between various super absorbent models. The Stay Dry Layer Technology in menstrual underwear, developed by experts, has 4 layers for optimal absorbency while remaining breathable.
The super absorbency of period underwear works thanks to innovative technology. A smart absorbing layer is incorporated into the crotch of the period panty. Two layers ensure that liquid is quickly absorbed and firmly contained. It is incorporated into the panty so flatly that it is hardly noticeable. Super comfy wearing comfort guaranteed, no trace of diaper feeling.
Our most absorbent menstrual underwear models stay dry even on days with heavy menstrual bleeding. Their absorbency means they can replace several tampons and they are made of soft organic cotton. This means they are comfortable and pleasantly dry even when bleeding is heavy.
We are constantly trying to improve ourselves and our panties and adapt them to your needs. Our brand new Flexi Technology offers 90% improved absorbency and is an incredible 60% more absorbent than comparable seamless panties on the market. Tested and certified by the renowned Hohenstein Institute, Flexi Technology is the first European panty technology with a floating absorbent insert that adapts to your body and absorbs blood exactly where it flows. With our innovative Fluid Protection seam processing, side leakage is a thing of the past.
In the shop you can now see our droplet system - 3 drops are the strong panties, 4 drops are the ones that are particularly absorbent.
And the best part: Our products are non-toxic, free of biocides and harmful substances, guaranteed, tested and certified! We use recycled polyester and are only 1 mm thicker than your usual underwear. In the future, all new panties that come out will be improved with exactly this technology. You can see which panties you can already order with Flexi Technology on the product pages. Welcome to a new era of period underwear!
