Time, tide, and nature’s call don’t stop for anyone. Stopping the pressure when nature calls can be a necessity at times but it also causes toxins to form in the body. For a healthy man without issues like diabetes, it is easier to hold back when they have to go to the washroom. For women, however, it is a pretty difficult task to keep holding urine for a long time. Because of the difference in physiology, the way men and women discharge urine is different. Men have the benefit of standing and urinating, which somewhat keeps them from coming in contact with the toilet seat unless they have to go for number two. Nonetheless, they are still at risk of getting a UTI infection. Urinary tract infection or UTI can trouble women more since we have to sit down on the toilet seat. Since most of us are outgoing, we have to use unknown toilets at work, while travelling and in hotels, and it is easier to get UTI symptoms for female workers and travellers. Urinary tract infections are not a threat to life but can get pretty painful without treatment. So, when you get a UTI infection it is better to know what to do, to treat it at home. What is a urinary tract infection? UTIs are a kind of infection that causes inflammation in the urinary tract and gradually advances to more organs. UTI infections are mostly connected to the urinary system and affect organs like the urethra, kidneys and bladder. The three organs are infected most commonly and can also be inflamed individually without affecting the others. Urethritis is a condition that affects the urethra while pyelonephritis affects the kidneys, similarly, the bladder is affected by cystitis. All three of these conditions are categorized as Urinary tract infections and treatment is always found by a urologist. There is a myth about UTIs that they are caused when there are germs or toxins in the urine. Your urine doesn’t generally have germs or bacteria. Urine is actually the waste product created as a result of the body’s filtration system. Filtration in the body takes place in the kidneys where the excess water in the body is separated from the blood. This allows the kidneys to filter waste products from the blood and pass it out with urine. So, urine comes out of the body without any contamination. The contamination or germs, however, can enter your urinary tract from the outside, causing inflammation or UTI infection. What causes urinary tract infections? The urinary tract is fortified enough to hold off infectious germs. But unhygienic conditions or long hours between washes can cause the bacteria to invade your urethra and multiply. While urinary tract infection can happen even with wearing undergarments or pants for a long time, in most cases the reason is an unclean toilet seat. Cystitis and urethritis are the most common urinary tract infections that affect women. Here’s how they are caused: Cystitis (infection of the bladder): This UTI infection is caused by the Escherichia Coli (E. coli) bacteria which is excreted from the gastrointestinal tract. Other bacteria from the GI tract can also be responsible for causing UTI symptoms in females. So, when going to unknown toilets while travelling, it is necessary for women to make sure that the toilet is used only for urination and not defecation. If you are in a dire need of using such a toilet maybe a female urination device is your safest option. Cystitis can also happen because of sexual intercourse; however, it is not the only cause. UTI symptoms are a risk to all females because of the genital anatomy. The urethra being closer to the anal opening and accidental splashes in the toilet are also some of the leading causes of UTI infections. Urethritis (Infection of the urethra): Infection in the urethra is more common in women because of its short distance from the anus. While cleaning up your intimate areas is important, some busy days can cause an accumulation of bacteria between the cheeks. When the bacteria from the GI tract reaches the urethra, it turns into a full-blown infection. Since the vaginal opening is also close to the urethra, urethritis can also be caused because of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) like herpes or gonorrhoea. How to treat UTI symptoms in females? Urinary tract infections are left without treatment for a long time. The reason is the symptoms that actually show up too late. The first symptom, which is inflammation of the urethra, comes after a day or two. By that time, the bacteria had already multiplied immensely. The pain is often also overlooked as a period side-effect by women. So before getting to the treatment it is essential to prevent UTI infections. Here are some ways you can avoid it- Staying hydrated and drinking a lot of fluids ensures that urination is more often. So that the bacteria can be flushed out of the urinary tract before it forms an infection. Whenever you wipe yourself after using the toilet, go from front to back. Wiping from back to front increases the chances of GI tract bacteria reaching your urethra. Drink plenty of water after sexual activities and try to urinate. It flushes the bladder and removes all the bacteria from the urinary tract. If you’re already facing the symptoms of UTI infection, you shall start using treatment methods to eliminate it. Here’s how- Visit a doctor if you have inflammation when you urinate and ask them to suggest an efficient antibiotic. If the infection is only a few days old you can try alternative ayurvedic medication. Namyaa’s Mutrakriccha Syrup is a mild way to treat UTI infection in a matter of days. Natural antibiotic herbs like sonth, makoy, purnava, varun, lajwanti, gokshur, etc. make the syrup a hassle-free treatment option, which keeps the kidneys and bladder clear of any infection. If you’re looking at prolonged infections where your urine has a foul smell or has turned pinkish, Namyaa’s Mutrakriccha Tablets will provide you with a higher dose of herbal antibiotics, which will ease the symptoms in a few weeks. Regular use of the syrup and tablet can help flush out a bacterial presence in the bladder and the urethra. Preventing UTI infections is a necessity for every woman as it can be far more painful than a man’s urinary tract. The best way to avoid getting infections is to use an intimate hygiene wash regularly. Keeping your toilets clean and disinfecting the seat will always reduce the chances of getting a UTI.

Many women think perky breasts or bigger-sized boobs can only be achieved with expensive breast augmentation surgeries. It’s a common misconception too that only bigger breasts are squeezed with love. Breasts of all shapes and sizes receive equal attention and augle. ‘Perky boobs’ however have now become a fashion statement. Every woman wants to feel confident when nude. Body dysphoria only happens when one isn’t confident in their skin. And when it comes to breasts, even though perfect boobs don’t exist, women have created this illusion of having perfectly round, perky breasts that don’t need a bra for a quick fix. Although breast augmentation fixes the size and shape of breasts, there are specific hacks like using tape that can give you a quick transformation for an outfit. Exercising is also another way you can just fight gravity and keep those titties up and perky. But remember, no hack is worth it to give desired results if you’re inconsistent with it. Women love seeing results even if it’s an immediate fix. Look around your house and there’ll be a good chance you will find exactly what you need for how you can get perky boobs or perky ‘looking’ breasts. Here’s what you can do right now to reshape your breasts - #1 Makeup Hack  For that little oomph your breasts need, makeup is the perfect way to achieve it without spending too much cash. Using pearly, sparkly body cream can make your cleavage pop while using a dark bronzer can give a silhouette of a bigger cup size. For a lighter, natural lift: Use a shimmering highlighter to make your breasts appear fuller and perkier but don’t dramatically overdo this step. The shimmer gives the cleavage a subtle boost and a plunging neckline. For a drastic lift: A dark contour creates shadows, giving an illusion of bigger breasts. Use a contour stick that’s a few shades darker than your skin tone and outline the inside and top of your breasts. Draw lines on each of your collar bones on top and bottom of it. Now, with a matte highlighting stick outline all the bronzer lines and then blend using circular motions. #2 Bra Hacks Bras obviously are the best way to give you the uplift you need and keep your breasts from bouncing too much. However, choosing the right size and perfect bra type can give your breasts a big, perky boost. DIY Racerback Bra: Give your regular bra a racerback makeover to give your tatas some lift. All you got to do is pin the bra straps at the back. You can use short velcro strips, paperclips, pins, or specially designed clips to hold the bra straps in place together. Place the paperclip or velcro strip at the middle of the back depending on how plunged you want your breast lift to appear. Bra Stack: A classic trick to make your breasts appear bigger is to stack multiple bras on. And it’s simple: Just wear two bras. It may feel slightly uncomfortable in the beginning but in time you’ll get used to it. You’ll need two bras of different sizes. One of them is your regular size bra and the second one would be of a bigger cup size. The second larger bra is worn over the regular-sized bra. Sock stuffing: Some women can even stuff their bra with a pair of socks to get an instant cleavage enhancement. Fold each sock and put them under the outside of your breasts. You can use any kind of socks but different sizes will give you different results. Larger sock - bigger lift. #3 Wise Outfit Choice   Hate putting in time and effort but still want perky breasts? Have a nice look at your closet. Tops, shirts, and dresses with V-neck, plunging neckline or a sweetheart neckline are the best outfit choices to show some cleavage and give an illusion of a breast lift. Another great thing about this hack is you can pair it with any of the above hacks listed. #4 Tape Them Up  You can use gaffer tape, sports tap, or specially designed tape that lifts your breasts when you’re not in the mood of wearing a bra. (Choose any tape but STAY AWAY from duct tape!) Gaffer tape has a strong grip and hold but may eventually irritate the skin so if you’re having an allergic reaction or skin irritation, sports tape would be an alternative choice for getting instant perky breasts. There are two ways you can use boob tapes: For deep and V-neck dresses/tops/shirts: Cut a strip of boob tape long enough to reach the bottom of the breasts to the top of your shoulder. Lift your breasts to the designed position and tape it starting from underneath your breasts. Begin from the outside of the breasts and keep adding strips as you tape moving inwards. For strapless/backless dresses/tops: Cut a strip of boob tape long enough to reach from the outside of one breast to the other one. Lift your breasts slightly and beginning from the bottom, tape the breasts horizontally across. Add more layers of tape moving inward until the breasts are covered and the nipples aren’t seen. #5 Push-Up Bra (not the exercise)  Investing in a push-up bra is one of the most ideal purchases you’ll make. It’s an absolute must-have in your closet cause it’s perfect for all breast types. It’s famous for giving maximum support and lift, making your breasts look fuller and plunging your cleavage even further. You don’t have to go get needle pricks and under the knife to have a breast lift. There are hacks you can use for a quick fix with a similar effect. But some of these hacks are not comfortable for everyday wear like the boob tape and bra stacking. So, you could rather use Namyaa’s Curvalicious Bust Plumping cream for better results. Add this cream and massage to your skincare routine and be consistent with it for quicker results

Being the sleekest cut face in the girl gang and still being ignored by the guys? Or are you wondering why your fashion likings never work out for you? Being a woman has its perks and worries. Every woman has been endowed with a separate natural shape of their body. However, some are not very blessed when it comes to having a full-grown body that catches the attention of people when you’re out rocking a party outfit. Doesn’t matter if you have a pear-type body or an hourglass shape, having the right bust size to match your body type is important. It gives you the self-confidence to get out in any outfit you deem fit for yourself. Many women are still untouched by the true effects of puberty. Having a small or non-apparent bust size can be very hurtful to your confidence. Sometimes it is just because you haven’t yet had the right time of life, for some it is because their hormonal balance is messed up and for some women it is genetic. Breast size, even though judged by genetics, has its roots in the body itself and it can act out of the boundaries of genetics to increase when stimulated by diets or creams. Fortunately, there are breast enlargement creams that work wonders in getting at least an average-sized bust. Here’s how breast size can increase with the use of natural diet, exercises and breast increase creams and what to know about increasing breast size- Common Misconceptions About Breast Enlargement Breast enlargement products like creams and massage oils have been around for more than a decade, yet there are a few misconceptions related to the practice to date. Breast enlargement is for attention seekers Certainly, breast increase will have more than usual attention coming your way. But it in no way means that only women who seek attention use breast increase creams and capsules. Breast enlargement is a process that gives a boost in confidence when talking to people and it also provides more pleasurable relations with your partner.Breast increase costs a fortune If you’re going for heavy surgical procedures like implants or fat transplants, then certainly yes, it might cost you a big chunk of your savings. However, not everyone needs an implant. Many women who have smaller breast sizes are left behind because there is a lack of stimulation and hormones. With advancements in medical techniques, your breast size can increase with just a regular massaging cream. Breast enlargement might cause cancer There are several techniques and hacks that can increase breast size. However, the procedures where you’re supposed to inject something into your breast, causing an abnormal tissue growth may cause cancer. Most of these cheap breast enlargement programs might be unsafe since you never know what they are injecting or implanting into your body. Breast enlargement creams, however, work through the skin and require massaging which naturally induces breast increase with hormonal balances being restored. Can breast size be increased naturally? Breasts are natural organs, so yes, they can be increased naturally with changes in diet, exercises and everyday activities like breast massages and wearing the right bra size. Here are a few practices if you are not yet ready for breast increase creams- Diet Add these foods to your diet to naturally increase bust size- Soy Products Soybeans and Soymilk are excellent carriers of isoflavones that are like oestrogen in nature. Oestrogen is the hormone that induces breast growth in women. So, having soy milk every evening may help with breast increase. However, make sure you don’t have soy allergies. Tofu Another product from the soy family, tofu is rich in isoflavones too that increase your oestrogen levels, thus increasing bust size. Fennel Seeds Fennel seeds are good for breast tissue growth as they carry large amounts of phytoestrogens estragole, anethole, and fenchone that helps increase milk production and breast size. Beetroot Beetroot is another food that increases the amount of oestrogen in the body. Along with that, it contains large amounts of boron which helps in the synthesis of oestrogen in the body naturally. Nuts Oestrogen can also be increased by eating a regular serving of nuts, especially pistachios and almonds have a good quantity of oestrogen. Going on a diet for breast enlargement is not really possible for everyone. On top of that, there might be many foods that you might be allergic to. Trying to increase breast size with just a diet will also give you slower results and while you keep waiting for those big bubbles to show, you might even lose motivation to carry on. In such cases, it is better to stimulate the breasts with an enlargement cream and massage them with it. What Exercises Can Help Breast Growth? There are a number of exercises that can help you with breast growth, here are some of the simplest ones- Push Ups- Simple push-ups can increase the pec strength and size of your chest muscle, adding that extra oomph. Up-Down Plank- get into the plank position and then use your arms to push yourself up and then get back in the plank position and repeat. Bench Press- Use dumbbells and lay down on a bench and lift the dumbbells up above your chest to induce muscle growth. Why Do Breast Enlargement Creams Work? Breast enlargement can be a big decision and is fueled by body dysphoria. Women who wish an increase in breast size want faster results and want to avoid long drawn procedures that leave scars. Most of these procedures that include surgery have a lot of after-effects like medication and unusual pains. Naturally growing breasts are thus the best way to look better and enhance confidence. Hence, breast enlargement creams work when combined with diet and exercise. Namyaa’s Curvalicious Bust Plumping Cream, absorbs into the skin and stimulates breast tissue growth.

Firstly, where would such a thought arise to increase breast size? Why would women feel concious or inferior about their breast sizes and shapes? Maybe it’s because of a dress they own that would fit better on a bouncy chest? Maybe it’s a the feeling of satisfaction when one holds plump breasts. Either way, dreaming about the ‘prefered’ breast size and shape always leads to body dysphoria. Regardless of that feeling, if you’re still on this blog, you really want to know how to grow those titties naturally (and yes it’s naturally possible to achieve bigger and stronger chests!). Understand what impacts the muscle and tissues under the breasts and know what exercises at home or at the gym can increase breast size through muscle build-up. Let’s face it though, proper breast augmentation or reduction even cannot be achieved naturally without a surgery. You cannot alter the shape of your breasts without poking through. Cause the shape and size of the breasts depend on the following factors: Genetics Hormones Body weight Lifestyle Pregnancy However, it is possible to enlarge your breasts naturally than reshaping and reducing the breast size. Cause natural breast enlargment is achieved through certain exercises that impact the shape of the pectoral muscles underneath the breasts. Targeting these muscles through strength training exercises listed below can result in a considerable change in the breast-tissue density, shape, and size. #1 Dumbell Chest Press This is a home and gym friendly exercise targets the pectoral muscles, shoulders, and triceps, all of which help to give an upright posture to eventually increase breast size. All you need is a set of dumbbells or you can even use two  2Ltr water bottles. If you have access to a bench you can use it or you can even do this on your home floor on a mat. Grab a set and hold it in either hand. For dumbbells, choose a weight that you can press-lift at least 8 times.  Lay on your back with your knees bent, keep your feet slightly apart and flat on the floor. Begin the dumbbell chest press exercise by keeping your head on the floor, extend only the arms over your chest in such a way that your palms are away from your face. Brace a midline that cuts your body, do this by thinking an imaginary line from your belly button into your spine. Now, slowly bend both elbows in a parallel-to-the-ground posture. Pause in this position and repeat pressing the dumbbell weight overhead until both arms are fully extended out. Do these as 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. #2 Dumbbell Pec Fly The pec fly exercise strictly shouldn’t be performed with heavy weights. So, you can tell your gym-ego to take a seat for this one. Unlike the chest press, which is predominantly for strength, the pec fly is more like a stretch. Try it to know the difference! With every repetition, the tightness and stiffness in your pectoral and front shoulder muscles. You can do this from anywhere, at home or at the gym, but you’ll need some lightweight dumbbells. Begin the pec fly exercise by grabbing a liughtweight dumbbell in each hand. Lay on the floor, mat, or bench with your knees apart and the feet kept flat on the ground, slightly apart (just like for a chest press). Press your arms over your chest with your palms facing each other with your elbows slightly bent. Draw your ribs down the body by engaging your core muscles. Keep the elbows stiff and at this point slowly lower the dumbbells in an arch motion to chest height sideways. You should now feel a stretch in your chest muscles. Pause at this position and reverse the movement until your arms are extended again. Squeeze the chest muscle at the top of the movement. For effects, do two sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. #3 Push Ups Push ups are the most commonly hated exercise because of how strainouis it is. But it’s one of the most versatile exercises out there having many variations to perform them of multiple strength levels. Plus they strengthen the entire body all at once, especially targeting your chest, shoulders, triceps, and the core. The best part, you can even modify push ups to match your current fitness level. Unlike the regular push up that starts at plank position, you can try it on your knees first as long as you maintain that straight line from the knee to head. For non-active people to begin push ups, try it against a wall. Begin on the floor mat at home or at the gym in a high plank position where your wrists are stacked under the shoulders. With your palms press down the ground and brace youe midline. Ensure your shoulder blades are pulled away from your neck and down your back. Squeeze in your quads, glutes, and core after which you lower yourself down towards the ground by bending at the elbows. Lower down until the chest hovers about 2 inches away from the floor mat. Pause at this position and exhale your breath as you press your body to uplift at the starting position. Repeat this for two sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Does the food you eat impact breast size?  Good question! Diet alone won’t impact breast size. However, weight gain and fluctuations in body fat can impact breast size. If you gain weight, it will increase breast size by building more fatty tissues in the chest along with other parts of the body that grow in size too. Which is still unhealthy. Breasts are technically made of fat and consuming whole milk products can essentially increase breast size. Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of estrogen that stimulates bigger breasts. Make a paste and mix with mustard oil to massage your breasts gently to increase your breasts naturally. Consume more nuts because they are rich in monounsaturated fats that are needed for building breast tissue. Breast enlargement supplements can help to get bigger breasts and most supplements are made from natural ingredients. If you’re still scared to consume anything without further research and consultation and want to still achieve perky breasts, you can try using Namyaa’s Curvalicious - Breast Plumping Cream to add volume and a healthy bounce to your breasts. It’s gentle for all skin types and it’s enriched with ingredients that visibly smoothen and tighten the appearance of the breast skin.

The female hygiene industry has a huge number of products that look after the needs of every woman. Any body type, any lifestyle habit or any level of movement, personal hygiene products have the solution to every female problem. One of the most extensively used product lines on the planet is of course sanitary pads or tampons. The monthly bloody cycle is a harsh truth for everyone. Getting away from it is possible, though it comes at a great cost that probably none of us wants to pay. As long as there are women with a healthy uterus and an in-built want to become happy mums, sanitary products like period pads and tampons shall always be their saviour. The vagina is however not a very simple organ, is it? Women don’t just have the monthly discharge of blood but a lot of other fluids that the vaginal walls secrete for protection and to get you ready for action on the bed. The only trouble is, that none of these fluids is really under control. How could you even tell the vagina to not flush out unhealthy bacteria or to not get wet over that adorable dude in the neighbourhood? You can’t always wear pads or tampons, it gets messy and feels unnatural while walking. So where do you get the confidence to walk like the red carpet is out everywhere? The modern cousin might tell you pantyliners are the answer. Are they? What is the Difference Between Pantyliners and Pads? If you don’t know what pantyliners are you might find them similar to pads since they have matching shapes where both of them stick to the inner side of your panty. Pads and pantyliners are both made to absorb fluids but have different capacities and hence are worn on different days for different purposes. A pantyliner is the skinnier cousin of the conventional cotton or gel based sanitary pads and tampons. It is much lighter and thinner than a pad and is made purely out of absorbent and breathable cotton. Pads are used to absorb and dry up a heavy discharge of blood that happens on period days. While pantyliners might fail if you accidentally wear them on the third day of your menstrual cycle. Pantyliners are lighter layers made to keep your panty dry by absorbing post period or pre-period liquids. It is also used on a daily basis to keep the inner linings of the panty dry from white discharge or simply fluids of sudden arousal. What are Pantyliners used for? Pantyliners are a modern-day thing and have only been prevalent in recent years. Since women are even more indulged in greater working ethics and going shoulder to shoulder with the world, a need for regular hygiene in intimate areas is important. A lot of women suffer from naturally low immunity and in that case, the risk of infections doubles up, especially if you’re not really a work-from-home person and like to socialise with the office crowd. Public places have fewer spaces for women to accommodate their hygiene habits. So, when you have to be out in the field for at least 8-9 hours a day, a protective layer from dampness and humidity down there is important. Pantyliners help keep the intimate areas free from the infections that are caused by increased moisture and heat which allow fungal and bacterial growth. When Can You Use a Pantyliner? To wear or not to wear a pantyliner entirely depends on a woman’s health and lifestyle situation. Some women choose to wear panty liners every day because they have to be out in the heat or do chores. So, the pantyliners help to efficiently fight off the effects of a sweaty vulva. It also lets you freely choose any gym routine you like as it keeps your panties from staining or giving you the camel toe. From a medical point of view, women who have conditions like irregular mini discharges of blood before or after their period can use pantyliners every day, except when you’re on your heavy flow days. There are a number of women troubled by excessive moisture in their privates during their ovulation stages and post-period, who can use pantyliners when in doubt. Pregnancy comes with a lot of fluids because the vulva is uncontrollable and the foetus moving inside can cause prenatal fluid discharges, it can be as early as 2 months into your pregnancy. So, if you haven’t called out for maternal leaves yet, you too can wear panty liners for a few months to prevent your panties from dampness and irritation. The Three Disadvantages The pantyliners might be a boon from modern science but they too have disadvantages to womanhood. Here are the three main disadvantages of using pantyliners more than needed- Harmful chemicals- The vagina is clearly the most self-sustaining part other than when you’re on your periods. It has its own microbiome that keeps out infections and balances the pH level to stop irritation and rashes. Most of the pantyliner brands that claim to keep you dry and fresh for 12 straight hours are a red flag. They all claim to be thin and ultra-absorbent and all other adjectives, but they hide harmful chemicals behind their gel-based lining. Wearing them for more than 4-5 hours can cause pH imbalance and itchiness. Too much changing- To be free from the trouble above, you will have to find brands that are free of chemicals and keep changing till then. Even after you have found the perfect one you can’t keep it on for the whole day when you’re a working woman of the world. Changing liners every 4 hours can be a troublesome task on some days. A humid vulva- Going overboard with the pantyliner can be trouble. Using panty liners every day can cause the vulva to adapt and sweat even more. The extra padding of the pantyliners can also heat up the vagina in summer. Sweating can cause excessive humidity and heat in panties and cause bacterial infections that can turn itchy and red. Always choose your pantyliner days and brand according to your health and needs. Always use thicker sanitary pads when in your menstrual cycle. Pantyliners for prenatal care can also be replaced by a reusable menstrual cup. Visit Namyaa for more female hygiene and healthcare knowledge and a range of natural products.

The work week is certainly the most dreaded phenomenon all along with the globe. Waking up on Mondays to continue humbles down the character but then things start to get tense by the time Thursday gets around. By Friday eve, your brain screams booze, if you indulge. However, on certain Fridays, you might be a fool to listen to your brain. Why? Because there is another organ in your body that thinks for itself. If you guessed it’s the uterus you are a woman well tested by the perils of having a vagina. The uterus doesn’t listen to what your brain has to say and has the ability to control what stays inside and what goes out. Since the adult woman is almost always destined to be a mother, the uterus keeps conserving a general amount of blood and water to retain a foetus whenever you conceive. But it cannot keep that blood and water stagnant for too long. So, it keeps replacing the liquid and discharges the old one if you don’t find the “right one” within the time of 23 days. The menstrual cycle is all controlled by hormonal levels. A disbalance of these hormones can lead to irregular periods that are difficult to control without proper medication and diet. Almost 20% of women have irregular periods which come with a harsh lifestyle that includes more than moderate drinking and smoking. So, is alcohol really the painkiller you think it is? Is Alcohol Intake ‘Okay’ During Periods?   Whether you drink or not is entirely up to you. The menstrual cycle comes with its own mental fluctuations like irritability, mood swings, pangs of sudden depression and bursts of anger. Such a mental state leaves you craving for an uplifting activity. And for many of us, a glass of wine or a chilled beer feels like the best way to start an evening on your period day. If you do however want to go overboard and have a whiskey fuelled stayover with friends, you might want to keep some things in mind. Alcoholic drinks are a known diuretic, which means they have a tendency to flush out water through your kidneys and make you dehydrated. And being dehydrated while bleeding is really not a feeling of bliss. Right after your drinking session ends, you might be asking for a bullet as the uterus, now dehydrated, curdles with higher intensity. This increases the cramps and may cause excessive shedding of the uterus lining and heavier bleeding. Yes, if you’re planning no babies or already have one, a hysterectomy (uterus removal) might be a solution to support a drinking habit. But hysterectomy has a messed up side that most women wouldn’t want. Is it Safe to Drink Moderately?   It is certainly okay to have a drink or two in moderation any time of the month. But closer to your PMS days, you might want to slow down a bit and retain that after work wine glass. A working woman might believe that alcohol can be a painkiller for the cramps but it will only make the pain worse, both mentally and physically. The disbalance of hormones and dehydration might give you more mood swings and you might end up surpassing the limit. Alcohol spikes up testosterone in the body for a bit and it is possible to get interrupted flow with increased days of period or be on a heavier flow in the following days of drinking. So yes, drinking is all right during the menstrual cycle. However, drinking while PMS can make your menstrual cycle go from 28 days to 34 days, and that is a health issue. When PMS timings fluctuate, irregular periods get out of control and you might have to give up your drinking habit if you wish to maintain your reproductive health. If you’re around your 30s and are looking to drop a regular drinking habit you might want to start right away. The reason is that if you ever want to be a mum in the current future, your fertility rates might be dropping with every drinking session. Heavy drinking women tend to lose their fertility as they move into their 30s. How Alcohol Affects PMS   There is not one but a number of ways that alcohol can affect your PMS days. One way might be to make you forget about the pain but then it comes back with stronger force, doesn’t it? Here’s how alcohol hampers a healthy menstrual cycle- Irregular Periods   The female menstrual cycle is governed by three main hormones- progesterone, oestrogen and testosterone. Oestrogen and testosterone are the hormones signalling the end of periods in the uterus and they both are increased with alcohol intake. Causing irregular period weeks and even missed periods but mostly when you’re a heavy drinker. Quitting alcohol consumption when you’re suffering from irregular periods can be a great way to control uterine health. You can also find relief with Namyaa’s Natural Delayed & Irregular Period Syrup with no pharmaceutical chemicals for a natural balance. Increased Pain   Period pains are for all but some are lucky to not have much pain. While some are built in a way that they feel like they are stuck in a blender below the belly. It is not a good idea to drink while you’re on PMS. It will cause the period pains to intensify because of dehydration. If you still wish to be drunk, remember to drink a glass of water over every sixty or pint. Choose to drink juices and sparkling flavoured water instead to help with the pain and stay hydrated. Cravings   Even men get cravings, women just tend to crave more delicacies during periods. But the period hunger might increase with the intake of alcohol. You might end up eating a lot of sugar or junk, which in turn will affect your hormonal levels and cause irregularity in periods and don’t forget, increased risk for diabetes. Fatigue   Period fatigue is common but only on certain days when you have bled. On alcohol, however, the body reacts differently. Most alcoholic beverages have a high quantity of sugar and give you a rush of energy to drink more. But when sugar drops the next morning, you’re left with a bloody and dizzy hangover. Not very safe if you’re alone. Being indulgent is the right of every human and things that keep the stress away are important in life but do not mar your long-term health for short term pleasure. If you too are suffering from irregular periods, heavy flows, or PCOS symptoms, check out the natural treatment options from Namyaa Women’s Healthcare.

Summer is finally here, and with it comes lovely sunny weather, pool vacays, sandy beaches, saltwater bathing, and lots more fun. But to keep up with the excitement of summer, many women experience too many inconveniences of having to shave their bodies, get into bikini body shape, and some even ignore intimate area health in the process. During summers, women notice changes in their vaginal health and suffer vaginitis (vaginal infections or commonly known as yeast infection) due to various factors. It’s such a turn-off on summer plans with these infections! But honestly, many sexual experts see a spike in infections during the warmer, summer months. Let’s understand what causes vaginal infections – The vagina has an acidic pH from 3.5 to 4.5 while sweat has a pH of 7. In the summer heat, too much sweating can impact the internal and external pH of the vagina, eventually leading to an increase in yeast and vaginitis. To avoid such occurrences, here are 5 tips you could use to keep your coochie healthy!  1. Don’t Hangout in Wet/Damp Clothing Damp or wet briefs/underwear traps moisture around the vulva (exterior of female genitals) due to which vaginal yeast infection can occur. The wet environment or dampness creates a breeding ground for bacteria to grow and cause these unwanted yeast infections. When you get done swimming and get out of the pool, immediately rinse off the chlorine with a quick shower and change out of your wet bathing suit. If you’re working out and you get all sweaty, change out of those damp clothes and put on clean fresh underwear as soon as your stressful workout is over. 2. Wear Breathable Clothing You’ll be sweating like crazy when it’s hot and humid outside. So, one of the best things to do to maintain summer vaginal health is to always wear light, airy, breathable clothing. Choose clothes and fabrics that won’t trap moisture and soak sweat. Avoid wearing anything tight or constricting during summers. Yes, if it’s your favorite outfit, it’s not for summer weather if it’s body-hugging. For underwear, your daily go-to underwear and lingerie should be of cotton fabric or at least have a cotton crotch. When you’re working out or sweating more than usual, look for materials that wick moisture. In case those women experience a lot of discharge and dampness during the day, consider packing extra pairs of underwear/panties/briefs in your bag so you can comfortably change during the day. This keeps you more fresh and protected from infections. 3. Try Sleeping Without Underwear If you experience irritation down there, you might want to consider sleeping bear…without underwear. Even breathable underwear and panties can trap moisture around the vulva. And we already know what happens when the vaginal area is naturally moist, you should avoid trapping dampness and moisture because it leads to unnecessary bacterial growth. During the day, you need to wear comfortable breathable underwear, but try ditching the undies when you sleep at night to prevent moisture accumulation. However, not all women feel mentally or physically comfortable sleeping nude or without underwear. So, only try this if you wish to and are okay with it. Light cotton underwear is a perfect choice if you don’t want to forego undies completely. 4. Be Careful With Hair Removal Many medical professionals always recommend not shaving or removing most of the pubic hair from the pubic region. After all, there’s a purpose for pubic hair but not all women are comfortable with that. If you’re one of those women who aren’t okay with pubic hair, we’d recommend trimming and cleaning up the bikini line but don’t remove more than you should be. Because then personal grooming routine becomes a daily business to manage. You have to be careful of the places you remove the pubic hair from and especially how you remove it. If you are prone to getting irritating razor bumps or ingrown hair, then probably shaving isn’t your best deal. Try using laser treatments or waxing instead. Just ensure you consult and visit a licensed professional for your safety and vaginal health maintenance. And if you’re one of the many to prefer the old school shaving, always use a clean, new razor to prevent infections before you go all out on your bikini area. Always use shaving products with clean ingredients that won’t irritate the sensitive skin down there. 5. Make Mindful Decisions About Intimate Care Now, this applies to vaginal health not just on summer heaty days, but all year round. Ensure that the intimate care products such as hygiene items, sanitary napkins, or even shaving cream don’t contain ingredients that cause redness and irritation. And those women who use lubricants due to vaginal dryness need to make sure these products don’t contain scents, parabens, dyes, flavors, and non-natural oils. One cardinal rule in vaginal health is to avoid douching. The vagina’s natural environment has certain bacteria for a reason. These need to stay balanced to keep the vulva healthy. Douches and other cleansers kill this healthy bacteria which kicks off the balance and causes higher chances of infection. Moreover, cleansers with fragrances contain artificial scents and ingredients that cause rashes on the vagina and vulva’s sensitive tissues. Other than what products you use, even what you eat affects your vaginal health. Just like how a more sugary diet can increase the chances of yeast infection because yeast feeds on sugar. Cut sugar from your diet as much as you can if you experience frequent infections. Include probiotics in your diet that contain healthy bacteria instead. Basically, choose yogurt over doughnuts instead.  So, in case you already show signs of an infection or irritation, please don’t try to treat it yourself. Visit a healthcare provider immediately for a better diagnosis. Dynamics can instantly tell you what infection you have and will prescribe antibiotics as treatment if necessary. All you need to do is be mindful of the above points and maintain hygienic vaginal health to avoid regrettable infections.

The hot winds are rising now, and the sun is closer to burning us more than ever. And nothing is more irritating in the summers than the sticky, itchy, trickling feeling in the intimate areas. Especially at the horrendously long traffic lights where the sun is cooking you alive. The ones at home are still safe with the several baths they can take to keep the dried-up sweat off their skin. But who’s staying home in the 21st century? 2 years of lockdown couldn’t make that possible. And with every outgoing woman, the trouble of being sweaty in the wrong places at the wrong time is like vanilla ice cream in summer. The worst of it is when you have the monthly worst week. Blood and sweat do not go together and cause many infections and discomfort that last long. On such days, the summer heat can turn you mad with irritation. Maintaining intimate area hygiene or keeping the whole body clean is the only way to beat the summer heat. So when the sweat trickling down the armpit starts to get maddening, here’s how to maintain intimate hygiene – 1. Keep the outfits dry A lot of damp in the intimate areas can be a leading cause for getting infections. So when you’re in the pool for long with your friends, make sure you go straight to the bathroom afterward and get into dry threads. Try to use a hygiene wash or other summer hygiene products if you’re taking a quick shower. More than a pool or getting into a rain dance, sweat is more of an infection-causing factor in all humans in intimate areas. So if you’re an active one and like to go for a 15 minute run on the treadmill, ensure that your clothing materials dry up fast, or change your clothing immediately after your exercise. 2. Wear Breathable Fabrics As we mentioned, if you’re an active woman who likes to shred a lot, you’ll probably need clothing that keeps you dry. The summers always increase the amount of sweat you produce. If you’re working out in the air-conditioned room, walking out of it would feel like someone let a dam open. Before you reach your car, you’ll already produce enough sweat in your intimate parts to cause a yeast infection or rashes. To go out in the sun or exercise, your clothing material contributes to your intimate hygiene in summer. So always make sure that you’re wearing clothing material that is breathable. It will keep you cooler and invite less sweat and make sure that your sweat dries up faster than usual. It allows your skin to breathe and keeps away infections. 3. Try Sleeping Without the Underwear You probably need to free up your private parts if you’re getting troubles like infections and rashes in your intimate areas, even after using summer hygiene products. Your private areas need some air, and underwear can be like an oven during the summer days. Especially if you live in a humid and hot area, intimate area hygiene can be challenging in the summers. So when the whole day has been a struggle to not itch in public, sleeping without underwear in the night can be quite liberating. It will keep your private parts dry, it will also get you good quality sleep. However, we know not everyone is comfortable sleeping without underwear. Thin cotton underwear can be a good option to keep out moisture buildup. For a better intimate hygiene routine on summer nights, use an intimate wash with your last shower and sleep with cotton underwear. 4. Avoid Rinsing Heavily or Using Scented Cleaners Many women go towards rinsing their vagina and using scented cleansers while doing so. While it might seem like a great option to clean your vagina, it is exactly the opposite. The worst thing you can do for intimate hygiene is rinsed harshly down there or rub with a damp cloth in the summers. The vagina or any other orifice in the human body has its colony of bacteria. These are not harmful and are necessary to defend the area from any other infection-causing microbes. Unfortunately, rinsing them out will cause an imbalance exposing you to higher chances of infections. 5. Check the Ingredients of Your Intimate Products All the vaginal products you use apply to your all-year hygiene. So when you’re shopping for intimate hygiene products in summer, make sure you check all the ingredients. Buy intimate hygiene products that are free of parabens and SLES. Products like lubricants or washes shall not contain ingredients that irritate the skin. Petroleum-based lubricants, for example, are not safe to use and can cause irritation. Always use products with natural extracts and natural oils. 6. Make Changes to Your Diet Your body reflects exactly what you consume. You might want to curb those cravings if you have a sweet tooth. Sugar is something that yeast and bacteria love too. Eating sugars regularly will cause more fungal growth around your vagina and vulva if you’re eating sugars. Making changes to your diet and reducing sugar-containing foods can help with intimate hygiene in the summer season. 7. Be Careful with Hair Removal Hair in intimate areas certainly makes things hotter. But hair removal in summers shall be cautious. Especially when you’re doing home hair removal. Hair removal creams contain harsh chemicals that can harm your intimate skin. Always check for hair removal creams with cooling effects and natural ingredients. If you’re prone to get cut while shaving or getting ingrown hair, try not to use blades on your skin. Intimate areas can be painful if hurt, so always choose certified professionals for intimate hair removal through waxing and laser treatment. Intimate hygiene contributes a lot to make your summer’s irritation-free and keeps infections and rashes away. Always use hygiene products with natural ingredients and ensure that you cleanse yourself at least twice a day and after every strenuous exercise. 

Don’t get us started on what all women need to experience right from puberty to menopause! Our bodies change so much as we grow older. Hormones change, skin changes, body shape changes, body hair appears (oh gosh!). Our intimate areas undergo so much change too. Menstruation days are just the toughest, and if vaginal hygiene isn’t maintained, it’ll lead to unnecessary and unwanted infections. To maintain everyday intimate area hygiene, using an intimate wash that suits you best is paramount. An intimate wash for women is a gentle solution, specially formulated to treat dryness, irritations, itchiness, and other skin problems in intimate areas. Daily intimate wash usage also minimizes the chances of acquiring an infection down there during period days. But there are some women who still say “Just use water”. Well, if ‘just rinsing’ your body was alright, why use shower gels and soaps, right? No ma’am, just like how you don’t ‘just rinse’ the rest of your body, your intimate areas can’t cleanse effectively with ‘just’ water. Here’s why women these days need to understand the benefits of using an intimate wash for women and why they actually need it daily.  Know the Vulva and Vagina Let’s start from the very basics: What are the vulva and vagina? And what’s the difference? The vulva is literally anything you can see, it’s the entire exterior portion of the female genitalia which includes: the outer labia (all parts that have hair follicles), the inner labia (the inner ‘lips’ of the female genitalia), the clitoris and clitoral hood (the skin that folds around the clitoris to protect it), and last but not the least, the urethra opening (hardest to see most of the time). The vagina or the vaginal canal is the internal canal leading to a part called the cervix where tampons are inserted and where babies come out from.  So which of these do you cleanse? Vulva or Vagina? This is the most frequently asked question and it’s surprising how confusing this could be to some women cause it’s an easy one to know! The vagina is a ‘self-cleaning’ part of the female genitalia. It secretes fluid/discharge that helps the body naturally clean and ‘flush’ off unnecessary bacteria, yeast, sperm, or anything else out of the vaginal canal daily. Since this interesting part of a complex female reproductive organ is self-cleaning. It’s not mandatory to use intimate area wash inside the vagina. Plus, using an intimate cleanser inside the vagina would disrupt the natural vaginal pH and health levels of bacteria and yeast that already exist inside a healthy vagina. This pH imbalance could lead to bacterial infections, yeast infections, and more dangerous skin problems. So, are we now cleaning inside the vagina? No way! On the other hand, the vulva is where cleansers, feminine washes, or soap are supposed to be used. if you assume the vagina to be a self-cleaning oven then essentially the vulva would be the oven doors. And we all know how oven doors need cleaning with a cleaning agent. It’s the same with the vulva. It needs regular maintenance of intimate area hygiene. So, we’re cleaning the vulva then? Yes, ma’am! Now that we know what exactly needs cleansing, how must women make the right choice for an intimate area wash? Here’s where it’s a bit tricky. There’s an endless list of feminine products in the market, making it super hard for women to figure out what’s best for them. Here are 5 quick tips on how you can find the best intimate wash for women for your daily intimate area hygiene routine: 1. Ensure the feminine wash you use is pH balanced. Regular soap is highly alkaline in nature while the vulva skin and the vagina prefer to be acidic with a pH between 3.5 to 4.5. An intimate area wash with a pH balance is formulated to be more acidic and would be more gentle to the vulva at the same time. 2. Choose an intimate wash for women that’s definitely unscented or fragrance-free. Most artificial fragrances are made from chemicals that are known to irritate sensitive vulva skin. The vulva and vagina were never made to smell like fruit or like some toothy-fruity candy. Unscented is the right way to go! 3. Pick an intimate area wash that has a gentle formula. No woman wants to experience burning sensations or feel dry like sandpaper down there. An intimate area wash that’s gentle on the skin will feel moisturizing and soothing, just like Namyaa’s Intimate Hygiene Wash with Green Tea and Cucumber Extracts.  4. Keep an open eye for an intimate wash for women that’s free from parabens and SLES (Sodium lauryl ether sulfate). There are many choices most of Namyaa’s intimate hygiene products are made from natural ingredients and do not contain parabens and SLES at all! 5. Avoid feminine washes that have glycerin and do not use soap. Sulfates and parabens have been researched to be linked to skin irritation, ovarian cancer, and more. Glycerin is a sugar product. And we all know yeast feels on sugar and glycerin in soaps potentially increases yeast production and eventually causes yeast infection. We definitely want to prevent that at all costs! And when someone tells you ‘Just Use Water’, you know what to tell them. Make them realize what they choose for their hygiene routine. Are they just rinsing, using soaps, or have they finally found an intimate wash for women that’s gentle, safe, and moisturizing just like how you have!  

The Kardashians! Love them or hate them. But, we all can agree that they are trendsetters. Whatever they do, people follow. Be it bodycon clothing, sheer tops that leave little to the imagination, or contouring techniques. The Kardashians made them a global trend. However, one thing of the Kardashians that made the world go crazy was their juicy, plumpy lips. A trend set by everyone’s favourite Jenner - Kylie. Well, who doesn’t want lips like Kylie? Kylie’s lips have been in the news ever since the world first got a glimpse of her now-signature plumpy, fuller, bigger lips. Women of all ages dream of having lips like her. And in today’s age, where everything is possible due to science and biotechnology, there are lip-plumping products available that can turn dreams into reality. But, do these lip-plumping products really work? Are there any measurable, visible benefits of using them? Read on to find out. What Are Lip-Plumping Products? Lip-plumping products or lip plumpers are products that help give you fuller, bigger, and plumper lips. There are various types of lip-plumping products available in the market. They include lip-plumping serums, lip glosses, and suction devices. Depending on the product type, the working methodology, time, and effects will vary. The most commonly used lip-plumping product is lip serum. How Do Lip-Plumping Products Work? Lip plumpers contain ingredients that mildly irritate the skin. The most commonly used ingredients are menthol, capsaicin, ginger, and wintergreen. These give a mild, tingling sensation, increase the blood flow to the area, increase collagen production that results in the swelling of your lips. This gives your lips a fuller, plumper appearance. Many brands have also started using hyaluronic acid that supposedly increases volume when used continuously. For the uninformed, hyaluronic acid is a naturally hydrating substance produced in our bodies. Thus, it makes for an ideal candidate for lip-plumping products to give a moisturized and plumped look for your lips. Do Lip-Plumping Products Actually Work? Yes! Lip-plumping products, be it a gloss, serum, or a suction device, work and give you a fuller pout. They boost your lip volume without you needing to go under the knife. However, the duration of the fullness appearance varies from product to product. For example, the effects of a lip-plumping gloss can last anywhere from two to four hours and offer a temporary solution. However, if you are looking for a long-lasting solution, you can try serums like Namyaa’s lip plumping serum. While these products don’t provide an instantaneous fix like a filter, you can get refreshed, youthful, fuller lips with continuous daily use and exfoliation. In addition to a fuller appearance, you’ll also get smooth, naturally-glossy pink lips, enviable to others. What Are the Benefits of Lip-Plumping Products? Now that you are assured that lip-plumping products do indeed work, look at the benefits of using lip-plumping products. No surgical procedure involved Lip-plumping products will save you from undergoing medical surgical procedures such as lip injections. You’ll also stay away from harmful chemicals used in lip fillers. You will also be spared from frequent trips to the hospital as the procedure needs to be repeated every few months to maintain the desired effects. Offer real, long-lasting results With home lip-plumping products, you have the power in your hands. Depending upon the frequency, you can achieve a natural look that can either be subtle or have a dash of drama. The look also lasts a long time if you use products like a lip-plumping serum. Moreover, you can see the results as quickly as in one session. Saves money Lip-plumping products are easy on the pocket. Most of the lip-plumping products are priced lower than INR 500. Depending upon use, they can last you anywhere from one to two months. Not a bad investment! Other lip-plumping processes like injections, on the other hand, can cost you thousands while providing below expectations or at-par results sometimes. Eliminates the chances of a botch Medical procedures can give your lips an obvious, unnatural look. Additionally, sometimes the procedure can botch, leading to an undesired outcome, and spoiling your look forever. Increases hydration Hydration is an important factor to keep your lips plumpy and fuller. Lip-plumping products, like Namyaa’s lip serum, helps keep your lips hydrated from the core to provide a long-lasting, fuller, and suppler appearance. What to Look For When Buying a Lip-Plumping Product? Before you buy a lip-plumping product, make sure you check these three things to ensure that you don’t end up damaging your lips unknowingly while trying to give them a fuller appearance. Ingredients This is the most crucial thing to consider when buying a lip-plumping product. Most lip-plumping products use natural ingredients to give you a fuller pout. Make sure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients mentioned. Similarly, if your skin is highly sensitive, avoid lip-plumping products that contain bee venom. If used, these products can cause severe reactions. Product type As mentioned earlier, there are different types of lip-plumping products available. If you are looking for a temporary but quick fuller pout, you can opt for a plumping gloss. But, if you are looking for a slow yet permanent solution, you can go with lip plumping serums. We tried various lip-plumpers so that you don’t have to undertake the arduous task of testing the hoards of products out there in the market. In our research, we found that Namyaa’s lip plumping serum is one of the best products you’ll find and that too without being heavier on your pockets. The off-beat product provides complete lip care and is not restricted to being just a lip-plumper. No doubt, you’ll get plumper, smoother, and fuller irresistible lips.
