Show Notes
Today on the show, I answer your questions about masturbation and why it can help relieve period cramps, what kind of hygiene your vulva needs and how weight change affects menstruation. I also share part two of my interview with Crystal Kennings where we talk about zero waste period products and how eating plant-based might just lead to a better sex life. Seriously, avocado toast might be the answer!
