PMS & Period Comfort Self-Care Kit: Heating Patches, Magnesium, Herbal Tea, Cozy Layers & Chocolate
16
items The week before a period is its own season, and it deserves its own little kit instead of a scramble through the medicine cabinet. This is a tasteful, non-medical PMS and period comfort self-care list: warmth you can wear, calming teas, a long soak, ...
These thin adhesive warming patches stick to the inside of your clothes, so you can wear them under jeans or a dress without anyone noticing. I keep a box in my work bag the week before my cycle starts, and that discreet, no-cord warmth is the whole ...
Rael Heating Patch
This is the blanket I reach for when I want to curl up and not move for an evening. The knit is dense and buttery without being heavy, it has never pilled on me after many washes, and it looks good enough to leave on the sofa so it is always in reach...
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket
A roll-on of chamomile, lavender and geranium essential oils that you glide over your lower belly or lower back as part of a calming ritual. The scent is herbal and soft rather than medicinal, and it fits into a purse. I treat it as aromatherapy and ...
Saje Period. Women's Soothing Oil Blend
A cozy limited-edition Epsom salt soak that smells like warm caramel, which makes a plain tub feel like a treat. Pour a scoop under running hot water, light a candle and give yourself twenty minutes. It is an affordable way to turn an ordinary Tuesda...
Dr Teal's Toasty Caramel Epsom Salt Magnesium Soak
The velvety Softstreme fabric is what I want against my skin when nothing else feels comfortable. The cropped, relaxed cut does not cinch at the waistband, which matters on bloated days, and it looks polished enough for school pickup, so I can be com...
lululemon Softstreme Full-Zip Hoodie
Breakout-prone days tend to arrive on a schedule for me, and these hydrocolloid patches are the easiest low-effort fix. I stick one on a blemish after washing my face at night and wake up to it looking flatter. The 24-count box lasts a while and keep...
Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original
Another stick-on warming option, with a slightly longer wear time than most, which I like for a long day of errands. They sit flat against your underwear or waistband, so there is no bulk under leggings. I keep this next to the Rael ones so I can com...
LOLA Period Heating Patches
Going cordless is the feature that sold me, because I can carry warmth from the sofa to the kitchen without hunting for an outlet. The wrap-style pad covers your lower belly or lower back evenly, and the soft cover is nice against the skin. It is a b...
Sunbeam GoHeat Cordless Heating Pad
This is the splurge soak for a bad-day bath: Dead Sea magnesium flakes, sea salt and a lavender, chamomile and geranium scent that feels like a spa. It is online only and pricey, so I save it for the heaviest days of the month. A jar lasts several so...
Oak Essentials Dream Bath Soak with Magnesium
The cloud fleece is thick, plush and almost blanket-like. This oversized mockneck is my pick for staying home on the couch, and the roomy fit means nothing presses on your waist. It also holds up in the wash, so it can be your lounge uniform all fall...
OFFLINE By Aerie Cloud Fleece Oversized Mockneck Sweatshirt
A step up from a plain hydrocolloid patch, since these dots also carry salicylic acid. I put one on a stubborn blemish at bedtime and usually find it flatter in the morning. The round shape stays on better than squares for me, and the 20-count size m...
Peace Out Salicylic Acid Acne Healing Dots
A lighter, ribbed robe that feels like wearing a hug without the bulk of a terry one. I put it on straight out of the bath and keep it on all evening. The shawl collar folds back or wraps for extra coverage, and it dries and washes easily, which matt...
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Ribbed Robe
Period-proof underwear with a high waist that stays flat under leggings and does not dig in. The no-show fabric is thin enough that I do not feel the protection, and having a pair that adds peace of mind on heavier days lets me stop thinking about it...
Knix Leakproof UltraThin High Rise
These come with a light floral scent that is not heavy or perfumey, and the salts do not leave my skin feeling dried out. It is a prettier jar than most drugstore soaks, so it looks great on the tub ledge. I use it on nights I want a slower, quieter ...
Saint Jane Beauty Deep Sleep Bath Salts with Magnesium & Peptides
A fragrance-free liquid exfoliant I have loved for years, and I use it a few nights a week when my skin gets congested. Smooth it on after cleansing and before moisturizer. It is a cult classic for a reason: a little goes a long way, so one bottle la...
Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Cute yellow star-shaped patches that make a blemish look like a sticker instead of a problem, so I can actually wear them in public. They are inexpensive, and the 16-count box goes in my purse. If you want the patch to double as a bit of fun, this is...
STARFACE Hydro-Star + Salicylic Acid Pimple Patches
