Talking about feminine hygiene can be a sensitive subject, and not brought up  in general conversation, Discussing this topic seems to work perfectly in a blog where you can read it in the privacy of your own home, and make a honest decision of how you take care of your own honey pot.

I just so happen to have sensitive and reactive skin on all parts of my body, therefore, beginning with The Honey Pot Sensitive Line makes complete sense. Don’t worry, I’ll be brave and try them all and report my findings. However, I thought it best to start with sensitive, after all, it is a sensitive area, and I need to begin somewhere. Who knows, I may discover switching to a plant based, natural feminine product will change my level of sensitivity and I can move up in the world.

Products

Feminine Wash

The Honey Pot Famine Wash is free of chemicals, SLS, parabens, carcinogens. The Honey Pot is also gynecologist approved, clinically tested and pH balanced. Sure sounds good so far, huh?

My Experience

Let me begin by sharing  something very personal, I have a very familiar story to the developer of this company. I am using The Honey Pot Wash for my third month now. The Honey Pot feminine Wash is a real life changer. The Honey Pot Foaming Wash is a miracle for me. Unlike soap and other body cleansers – even natural lines,  My “Honey Pot” became irritated and sometimes painfully inflamed. Often times this problem interfered with my relationship because of pain and discomfort. I even tried Ph regulating inserts without success. A change is definitely noted after using this product. You feel clean, fresh, and no irritation. I am finally back to normal!. I am amazed, Really Amazed. 

WIPES

 

Unlike some traditional wipes made from cotton The Honey Pot are made chlorine free, pesticide free  using biodegradable rayon, antioxidants and probiotics. The wipes are a perfect addition to your everyday feminine hygiene needs, and work perfectly with or without the Foaming Wash in maintaining your “Honey Pot” pH balance throughout the day. 

Personally, I keep my wipes with me at all times. After all, you never know when you are going to need a little freshening up. I even keep the feminine wash in my purse, especially on days where it is particularly hot, or I am scheduled for a workout. I use the wipes for a quick facial wipe, under arms, and of course a good cleaning of my genitals to rid my self of bacterial buildup and unpleasant odor. It  is unbelievable how much odor and bacteria build up the longer you leave your workout clothes on, are wearing snug jeans, or even just exploring the outdoors and enjoying warm weather. Now, I cannot live without them. Or at least, I have a small panic attack if I even think I forgot my Honey Pot Wipes.

 PADS

Each pad has cotton that is chlorine and pesticide free and infused with just the right amount of rose, lavender aloe, and mint essential oil. Each helps with odor reduction, cramping and discomfort, dryness, and prevents leakage.

The Honey Pot has 5 selections of period pads.

Every Day Panty Liners, Regular, Heavy, Overnight and a special Postpartum pad. You can even buy period bundles and have all your needs delivered to your door for added convenience and privacy.

The Honey Pot also has a period and liner subscription box with free shipping. Set your delivery date, and never find yourself out of your feminine products again.

My Experience

Wearing the pads is a dream. They are thin and completely go unnoticed under clothes. All the pads have wings places in the proper position to prevent leaks with just the right amount of adhesive. (The Panty liners do not have wings).

After using the pads, I found the adhesive to hold tight, even at night and with activities. If the adhesive    did shift, it did no curl around and stick to my skin. Big Plus. Other popular brands I used in the past do, and can be quite painful to remove from the skin, not to mention the leak and mess.

You will experience a cooling sensation with application of the pad as soon as they come in contact with the moisture from your body. It was a bit of a surprise at first, I will admit.  However, I am loving the coolness, particularly on heavy days. The cool sensation gives you a fresh and clean sensation. A hint of sudden coolness, I find, is a indicator you might need a pad change untimatley preventing embarrassing leaks. In fact, I have not had one leak since wearing the pads throughout the stages of my cycle.

I am a huge fan of the panty liners too. I use them daily and they are a part of my daily feminine hygiene practice, especially when I am hot and sweaty. It’s just a little boost of confidence I need to know I am not stinking up the room with body odor of any form.

Personal Pro TipLadies, lets not forget The Honey Pot Pads are also great for the little leaks we experience we get after having a baby, having a good laugh, exercising, or just having to go, and oops. One pad can help keep your dignity intact, not to mention your clothes dry and odor free.

Giving Back

A portion of your money provides one women or girl with enough period supplies so they can attend school. To learn more visit  The Honey Pot web store for more information.

Final Words

You will find the price point of The Honey Pot products a bit higher than traditional feminine care. I thought the same, not a problem, they are more expensive. However, after using the products the price difference was not what made me keep coming back. My problems I talked about earlier went away. I have not had a leak or ruined any clothes, undergarments, or sheets since. My relationship has improved immensely. I am not using toxic ingredients on my body, and helping the environment. I am and helping women and children improve their lives. All this for a few pennies more than traditional feminine products. I’ll pick The Honey Pot over traditional feminine products any day.

How about you?
