The best period products for Fibroids
Our top picks for heavy periods
Heavy bleeding is horrible, period. It’s disruptive and demoralising. No woman should be self conscious or held back from fear of leakages or accidents whilst travelling, at work or with friends.
When it comes to periods, flooding and leaks, having confidence you've got this covered makes all the difference with Fibroids. Here's our top pics to help you manage those heavy days.
Period cups
Period cups are great because they can hold more blood than a tampon on towel, but they’re not for everyone. If you’re yet to try one, here are a few we recommend;
