Period Myths vs. Facts
What Every Woman Should Know
KEIANN SANITARY NAPKIN
Even in the modern world, there are still so many "old wives' tales" and misconceptions floating around about periods. These myths can make us feel limited, embarrassed, or just plain uncomfortable.
At KeiAnn, we’re all about facts, comfort, and empowerment. Let’s set the record straight by busting some of the most common period myths once and for all!
Myth 1: "You shouldn't exercise while on your period."
The Fact: Exercise can actually help! Movement releases endorphins (nature’s painkillers), which can reduce cramps and improve your mood.
The KeiAnn Tip: If you're worried about leaking while squatting or running, KeiAnn Menstrual Pants provide the ultimate 360° security, so you can move, stretch, and jump with zero "leak anxiety."
Myth 2: "All pads feel like wearing a bulky diaper."
The Fact: That might have been true in the 90s, but technology has changed!
The KeiAnn Tip: Our Ultra-Thin Napkins use high-density absorbent polymers that stay slim even when full. You get maximum protection without the "bulk" under your clothes.
Myth 3: "Menstrual pants are only for people with heavy flows."
The Fact: While they are a lifesaver for heavy flows, they are for everyone.
The KeiAnn Tip: Many women use our menstrual pants on medium-flow days just for the sheer comfort of not having to worry about wings or shifting pads. They are also perfect for "night-before" protection if you're expecting your period to start overnight.
Myth 4: "Your period stops when you’re in the water."
The Fact: It doesn't stop; the water pressure just temporarily keeps the flow from exiting. As soon as you get out or sneeze/laugh, gravity takes back over!
The KeiAnn Tip: Always have a fresh KeiAnn Napkin ready in your bag for the moment you step out of the pool or shower to stay dry and confident.
Myth 5: "Period blood has a naturally bad odor."
The Fact: Menstrual blood itself doesn't have a strong smell. Odor usually happens when blood is trapped against the skin in a non-breathable environment (the "sauna effect").
The KeiAnn Tip: By using KeiAnn’s breathable back-sheet technology, air is allowed to circulate, which prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
Why the Facts Matter
When you know the truth about your body, you can make better choices for your comfort. You don't have to stay at home, you don't have to feel bulky, and you certainly don't have to settle for irritation.
Modern periods call for modern solutions. Whether it's our ultra-discreet napkins or our full-coverage menstrual pants, KeiAnn is here to make your cycle a little more "fact" and a lot less "friction."
Don't let myths hold you back. Stay active, stay confident, and stay dry with protection that actually works with your lifestyle.
