Patriarchal Society would just love for us to keep believing that our periods are dirty and gross and that having a period means we are supposed to suffer. Why is this? The simple answer is that the patriarchy wants to control women, control their bodies, and keep women in a disempowered state.
The easiest way to do that? Lead women to believe that their periods are dirty or gross, because this maintains a system of control where women are made to feel ashamed of their natural bodily functions. Keep women disconnected from their periods and their cycles by lying and making women believe that the only answer to solve period pain is getting on hormonal birth control which completely shuts down a women's natural cycle. Thus keeping her disconnected from her POWER and the inherent WISDOM within her cycle. I could go on and on and on about the ways the patriarchy has been diligently working to keep women disempowered as it relates to our periods and our cycles...
Well Sisters, I for one am not going to stand for this anymore. I am sick and tired of living in a world that has tried to control the narrative and dictate how a woman is supposed to feel about her body and her cycle.
But let’s rewind for just a minute. I used to hate my period. I used to feel disgusting on my period. I used to dread my period. This was mainly because I was physically sufferin, and when you are doubled over in cramps, it's pretty hard to be gung-ho about your period.
But I had a realization one day… I didn’t want to hate my period and I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life suffering. So I decided to rebel against what society had told me was “normal” about my period and my body and set out on a journey to learn the TRUTH.
This journey has encompassed a lot of things, including learning all about menstrual cycle syncing and hormone balancing. I learned that the main reason WHY we suffer from period pain to begin with is because we live in a world that makes it damn near impossible not to (We can thank the patriarchy for this too). It's things like eating processed foods, living with too much stress, living against our menstrual cycles, and slathering our bodies with harmful beauty products that are the real cause of our period pain. This first part of my period healing journey was all about empowering myself with information so that I could heal on a physical level. While healing my period pain was incredible, it was the next phase of this journey where I healed my RELATIONSHIP with my period that has transormed my life and how I feel about being a woman.
Enter in Sexy Red Lace Period Panties.
I came to realize that my period wasn't just a physical process my body was going through every month, it was a deeply spiritual and sensual experience that represented my Feminine Power in so many ways. I came to recognize that my bleed was not something to be ashamed of or something to hide, but on the contrary, it should be CELEBRATED.
I started looking for ways that I could turn this time of my cycle into sacred ritual and celebration. One the simplest yet empowering practices I’ve adopted is wearing sexy red lace panties during my period. Just because I'm bleeding doesn't mean I can't still feel sexy and beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I'm still rockin comfy sweats, but every time I go to the bathroom, I see my sexy lace panties and I smile. These panties have become a profound symbol of reclaiming my femininity and honoring the sacredness of my period.
The act of slipping into those crimson panties is also my way of rebelling against a system that has tried to keep me disconnected from my own body. These red lace panties are a reminder that my period is not something to be hidden or ashamed of, but rather a time to celebrate my womanhood. It’s a subtle yet powerful way of acknowledging the beauty of my body’s ability to create life, to shed the old and make way for the new.
Alongside wearing red panties, I’ve also embraced other special rituals to honor my period. Whether it’s taking a luxurious bath, indulging in nourishing foods, giving my blood to Mama Earth, or simply carving out moments of quiet reflection, each ritual serves as a gentle reminder to slow down, listen to my body, and honor its magic.
If you are a woman out there who has struggled to make peace with her period, trust me, I get it because I've been there. But I want you to know that you are powerful enough to change your period narrative. And if you are a little rebellious like me, you will have a whole lotta fun waving your middle finger at the patriarchy as you challenge this BS conditioning and heal your relationship with your period.
One pair of sexy red period panties at a time, we have the power to change the future for the women of tomorrow so that they don't have to grow up in a world where they feel ashamed for the most natural part of being a woman and having to suffer in period pain like so many of us have.
If you are reading this and thinking, "YES SISTER! I am so ready to heal my relationship with my period and say a big EFF YOU" to the patriarchy, but you just aren't sure how to get started, don't worry my love, I've got you!
I've just opened up my books for one-on-one Menstrual Cycle Syncing Empowerment sessions where I will guide you every step of the way toward leading a pain-free and patriarchy free period life!
As always, sending you big hugs and all of my love as we all navigate the deep waters of our womanhood. XOXO
