It is a really interesting place in my life that I find myself in. I am in my mid forties and fully experiencing the “signs” of menopause. I am taking them in stride and, so far, it is not so bad. Kinda interesting what the body can do.
Remember being a teenager? Ever want to go back?
Well, some parts of menopause do make you feel like a teenager, just not necessarily the good parts! But it does make me ponder every period – are you the last one? How will it feel to no longer have my period? I will truly no longer be “fertile”. I have had my tubes tied for years so technically I have been unable to have children for a long time, but this is really, really the end!
As much as I have had my moments and many years of uncomfortable disposable pad and tampon use before discovering Lunapads; I started my period at the very young age of 8. My first period memories are of being reassured I was not going to die and a trip to our doctor who inserted a tampon in me and told me to walk around. I promptly fainted on the floor.



Here at the Lunapads office, we are all about celebrating cycles. As with the Moon Cycle, the cycles of the seasons are great teachers for us and have been reason to celebrate for many millennia. When I was teaching yoga full time, I taught a quarterly meditation on each Equinox and Solstice. Each season is a great metaphor for phases in our lives and the only constant in the world, change and a great opportunity to reflect on the macro and micro cycles in our everyday lives.
