Don't forget, you need a few extra Pleasant Pads to stash in your emergency stash places -- like the glove compartment of your car! Then, when clean, you can always keep those pads in their secret places just in case!

Since more and more ladies are using Pleasant Pads for minor incontinence and feeling wonderful relief from abandoning the toxic pads they had been using every day, I thought it would be helpful to post a blog on how to lessen incontinence naturally! If you don't need these tips for yourself, remember them to share with friends who may be greatly encouraged by them!
Did you know? Pleasant Pads can be folded and snapped for easy handling! The three steps are pictured below. Night pads are more difficult to fold, because they're larger, but you can find creative ways to snap them in on themselves still :).
Need an extra boost for feminine health or hormonal support? Essential oils not only smell great, but they can help balance hormones, calm cramps, and knock out infections too! Some of them (like oil of oregano) are scientifically proven to be as powerful as penicillin (with no side effects)! All therapeutic grade oils are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. And there are some that are ideally suited for womanly health. Dragon Time, for one. What a name! Can you guess what it's good for? Regulating hormones during the "way of women"? You got it! According to The Essential Oils Desk Reference (a book that makes you feel like your own doctor - you can look up any ailment and see what oil helps it), Dragon Time helps relieve PMS, balance mood swings and calm cramps. Sound like you need a bottle on hand? Whenever we ladies see the first sign of red that signals the start of our "way of women," let's be thankful! For one, that worship-invoking color is one of the most gorgeous shades of red in the world! To think that the Creator mixed it up on His palette one day, and then decided to let us women see it every month! How grateful we should be to be women! The reality that parts of our lives are inconvenient and earthy shouldn't diminish our gratitude. We are privileged! To be: bearers of life (physical, and emotional by setting the tone of the home), nurturers (through nursing babies and also through our words, "The lips of the righteous nourish many" (Proverbs 10:21), and queens of our homes - each part of womanhood is accompanied with an aspect of glory. If tempted to loathe your time of month, remember that you'd much rather have it than not! It shows you're healthy and everything is working properly, and there will be a possibility for new life to form within your womb sometime in the future. How wonderful to receive a red "letter" of good news every month! It's true that the curse of the Fall has made aspects of womanhood painful (see Genesis 3:16). But we can choose to transform our response to the discomfort. Perhaps view cramps as preparation for undergoing childbirth someday - a practice run. Or express gratitude to the Messiah for the pain He endured on the cross - which was much greater than any menstrual pain we might endure. Or see it as an endurance challenge which reveals that you can go through great suffering and still come out fine in just a few days! So, next time you pull out those Pleasant Pads, remember that it's time to be grateful! Happy Thanksgiving, ~Melanie The journey of womanhood has many seasons. The excitement of spring when the womanly growth first begins to sprout in all its tender delicacy (think of baby leaves just emerging); summer, with all the fruit it yields - babies, vibrant life..., and then comes fall. Fall, the picture of shucking off the old, making way for the new: "Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies it remains only a single seed, but if it dies it bears much fruit" (as the Bible states in John 12:24). This is a picture of mature women, putting off the role of themselves being fruitful (having babies), and taking on the role of mentor to younger women around them - sharing all the wisdom they have learned through their years of homemaking (Titus 2:3-5). And then winter comes. The time of winding down and not much activity, anticipating the end of life. Yet it is still filled with splendor. Like a beautiful tree covered in frost, there is an elegance to old age. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:31 that "Gray hair is a crown of splendor, if it be found in the way of the righteous."
So, whatever season of womanhood you find yourself in today, let it be glorious! May you shine today as you live out to the fullest the journey your Creator gave you as a woman - to be a nurturer and life giver in the home, no matter what the season! Bet you didn't know that most conventional laundry detergents have cancer-causing toxic chemicals in them! Take a look (if you don't want to read the technical language, just look at the bold print): According to the Organic Consumer's Association: "The alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) used in some detergents and cleaners have been shown to mimic the hormone estrogen; one APE... has caused estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells to multiplyin a test tube study." Guess what? That chemical is banned in Canada and most of Europe (according to this site). But the US still allows it in detergents. What do you call your period? Here are some fun phrases:
Thermacare Heatwraps are terrific! It's like sticking an invisible heating pad on you that will go with you and stay warm ALL day.
What do avocados remind you of? Hint: the pear shape and the big seed in the middle. A womb!! It turns out that avocados are actually really good for women - the oils in them are great for your womb! It's incredible that the Creator put signatures in food to show what each is good for based on what they look like! For another example - walnuts look like a brain, and they're actually good for the brain. And what do you know! Beets are great for rebuilding your blood. Many more foods look like what they're good for. This principle is called "The Doctrine of Signatures." So eat plenty of avocados and beets during your next period! |
