• October 21, 2019 What is "No Freak Technology TM anyway?"
  

  We thought we should let you all know what is so special about our knickers and why we have taken so long to get these little babies onto the market!

  Welcome to Mynickerbot we are so excited that once you join our world you will wave goodbye to bulky pads or worrisome tampons and bothersome leaks.

  Did you know that our knickers look like regular knickers you wear everyday, except they have a secret built-in technology which we call our "No Freak Technology TM" to keep you dry and leak-free all day. These knickers are your secret weapon against your monthly visits and they’re exactly that – a secret! Just like normal undies but different! Go to sleep overs or school camp with confidence.

  Our special design uses a specially made 3-layer technical system that works in 3 ways. First as a moisture evaporator against the skin. This top layer wicks away moisture and bacteria keeping you feeling fresh and dry. Whilst the middle layer absorbs the fluid and the bottom layer is a special fabric that will prevent leaks and embarrassment. Even on the heaviest of days, you’ll be confident and safe from “freak out” leaks.

  

  Our ‘No Freak Technology TM’ uses anti-bacterial properties which prevent the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew. In our organic luxe range it is grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides (making the fibre more hypo-allergenic to sensitive people). For you, this means no funky odours and the natural fibres allow you to breathe down there. This type of knicker is the perfect worry-free friend especially on those days where you are not sure if they are arriving or not!!

• September 10, 2019 What is PMS?
  

  What is this talk about PMS?

  Sometimes periods come with uncomfortable symptoms.  Not fair right?!  Most of the time you will be fine.  However sometimes you may need some TLC.  Sometimes maybe even a doctor.

  PMS is short for premenstrual syndrome.

  It is when a girl has mood and body changes before or during her period.  It is usually at its worst during the 4 days before a period.  It should go away 2 or 3 days after the period begins.

  What are some signs and symptoms of PMS?

  • you may feel sad
  • mood swings
  • you may be a little more cranky
  • have anxiety
  • tired
  • pimples
  • food cravings ( did someone say chocolate?)
  • tiredness
  • bloating
  • backaches
  • sore breasts
  • constipation
  • diarrhoea
  • headaches

  Try to take it easy, rest up if you can, eat well and make sure you include fruit and veges in with your stash of chocolate and try to take gentle walks.

  Eat less salt to reduce bloating.

  What Are Period Cramps?

  Period cramps are pain in the lower belly during a girl's period. Many girls have cramps during the first few days of their periods. Period cramps are caused by prostaglandin, a chemical in the body that makes the muscle in the uterus contract.

  • a warm heating pad on your belly works wonders!

  Looking Ahead

  Most girls settle into a regular period schedule and can manage any bothersome symptoms with home treatment. But talk to the doctor if you think there could be a problem with your periods.
