Summer period survival guide!

The sun’s blazing, it’s +30°C outside and you’ve got cramps, bloating, and that oppressive “I just want to melt into my bed with 5 kilos of chocolate” feeling. Sound familiar?

Periods can be a „real pain in the uterus” when the weather is screaming “beach day!” but your body’s whispering “blanket, please.” But don’t worry Lunette’s got your back. With these summer - savvy tips, you can still enjoy the sunshine, even during that time of the month.

1. Hydrate like a pro

Hot, humid weather means your body needs extra fluids. Skip the sugary sodas and opt for:

Mineral water with added magnesium;
Homemade iced teas;
Light, low-sugar juices.

Magnesium is your period BFF - it helps reduce cramps and bloating. You can find magnesium supplements at organic shops or pharmacies if you need a boost.

2. Chia magic

Got chia seeds in your pantry? Whip up this celeb-approved drink:

Mix 1–2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 500 ml of cold water;
Sip throughout the day.

This hydrating blend is packed with protein and fiber, keeps your tummy happy, and helps you feel full perfect if your appetite’s playing hide-and-seek.

3. Mood swings? blame the heat

Periods can mess with your mood. Add heat to the mix and you’ve got a recipe for crankiness. The trick? Accept it. Then:

Go swimming;
Hang out with friends;
Do something that sparks joy.

Your vibe matters. Protect it.

4. Move your body gently

Exercise can help ease cramps, but don’t overdo it in the heat. Try:

Early morning or late evening jogs;
A refreshing lake dip;
Gentle yoga or stretching indoors.

And yes you can do all of this safely with your Lunette Cup. It’s leak-proof, comfy, and summer-proof.

5. Eat smart

Heat can mess with your appetite. One minute you’re craving salty chips, the next it’s chocolate. Instead of riding the snack rollercoaster, try:

Fresh salads;
Grilled veggies;
Light, nourishing meals.

You’ll feel way better than after demolishing an XXL bag of crisps. Promise.

+ Don’t forget to enjoy!

Not every country gets sunshine on tap. So soak it up while you can. When winter rolls around and you’re buried under blankets, you’ll be dreaming of bikini days and warm breezes.
