Period Nirvana

Our friends at Saalt have made it possible for people to shop for the THOUSANDS of styles/colors/absorbencies available from Saalt Wear from Period Nirvana’s online store. It’s a win for our customers who can order everything they need in one spot from us from all the brands we carry, and a win for us because we can offer Saalt Wear’s full line without moving into a bigger warehouse! If you’ve ever noticed your shipment is split into two boxes that’s why. This partnership has been going on for a few years seamlessly. And best of all, your Saalt Wear items aren’t charged an additional shipping fee. Win win win and win.

This order was a fun one for us all to pack! I suspect someone’s kids got special period kits and maybe mom grabbed some things for herself as well. Florence packed all but the Saalt Wear in Asheville and Katie from Saalt packed the rest in Idaho.

It’s always fun to get a BTS look and this order gave us the perfect opportunity to show how we collab with Saalt for the benefit of our customers.

Be glad I cut it at the “ahhhhhhAhhhhhhh aaaaahhhh Aaaiiiiiahhhhhh a ah a ah a ah a ah a ah a ahahAhaaaa… part which I’m sure just sounds like a dying animal with AirPods off 🥲 gotta make the monotonous tasks entertaining somehow. My playlist today was 🔥 let’s hope I didn’t make any packing mistakes while singing along.

At your cervix 🫡 What makes a small business special? This story is a great example of what it means to shop small and how businesses run by real people with faces and names can mean the difference between a fun vacation and a not so fun vacation. You can’t call up just any store and speak to a human without screaming REPRESENTATIVE amongst other choice words for 30 minutes first.

I had a call with Florence about this order and what we should do - when the communication stalled we were in a tough spot. Do we just send it and pay the hefty overnight shipping charge and assume the customer will pay the invoice? Or do we wait until it’s paid before handing the shipment to UPS? I (unfortunately) told Florence we have to wait because sadly, I’ve done the nice thing and sent before expedited extra shipping charges were paid and the customers decided not to pay it. The story still ended happily because our customer paid the rush shipping (no additional rush fee was applied, just the cost to overnight!) and Florence got the box to our UPS person just in time. Ada did a beautiful job communicating with the customer and it all worked out in the end!

This is just one story of many where a small team pulls off a miracle to help a customer in need. What we lack in free shipping we make up for in heart! If you shop small you’re making our dreams come true and keeping us in business to hopefully be there again and again when the bat signal is lit for another customer.

And thanks to the customer we helped in this video, who was flexible with us when our stock level was off by -1!

The joys of being in your 40s… I got an early period just in time for my weekend. It could have been worse, it could have started while I was in Chicago - I definitely didn’t pack my disc that trip bc my period was not due for some time. Despite the early start I enjoyed a fun concert with my 17 year old son. It was almost impossible to get the tickets for Tame Impala but lucky for my son I’m a seasoned concert go-er and won the Ticketmaster war. And, I taught him how to skip the line for the train when leaving a crowded venue. These are life lessons he needs to know before he becomes an adult in a few short months (insane, I know!)

My Hello Disc didn’t let me down this weekend. I’m certainly glad I wasn’t dealing with my period at Lollapalooza, the idea of going crossed my mind but ultimately I skipped it. Instead, I flew in just to queue for the Smashing Pumpkins GA “aftershow” and flew right back home. Had I stayed I would have really put my disc and my back to the test 😅 I think I’m too old for festivals ngl.

I hope this early period isn’t a trend. If it is I guess I’ll have another vlog in August for you. But hopefully not.

Women and people with periods either go a lifetime dealing with low quality and ill suited solutions OR end up with a PHD in period products because they have to do insane amounts of research to find a leakproof product that works for them. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we learned more in school? From our medical providers? Our parents? That’s why Period Nirvana exists. Better products are out there beyond the local stores pharmacy period aisle. From safe brands! Our online resources fill the knowledge gaps and our PERIOD/ CYCLE WELLNESS STORE location in Asheville educates people about the product they need for a better period.

BIG Breaking News in the period world. Saalt funded the first study of its kind that looks at the period experience going from tampons or pads to cups or discs. If you’ve ever noticed that your cramps went away or other symptom relief when making the switch you’re not alone. We’ve long wondered if it’s all in our head or is there something more there 🤔 This study answers so many questions and at the same time, begs for more studies to be done. Now we know people are seeing a reduction or cramps. And the study goes far deeper than that. As an advocate for reusables this study gets me so excited and I’m honored that Saalt partnered with me to help spread the news.
