With so many sanitary products on the market, we are swept into a mindset that we should 'just get on', regardless of our periods. 

In reality, women and girls are still troubled with the hormonal fluctuations in mood, energy, sleep quality ... and the fear of leakage or ability to use and access sanitary products for the sports / activities they're involved in. 

 Dr Nat Brown is research associate based at Swansea University and Sport Wales – working for the Welsh Institute of Performance Science and she is passionate about helping women feel and perform at their best throughout their menstrual cycle.
