Check the wiki under the Methylation page, if it's congenital I would go for testing with tolhealth.com, the genetic testing they do can then be used with selfdecode.com or another service for methylation. Source: about 2 years ago

If TMG is a great mood booster, I'd go over to selfdecode.com and get the test and buy the book Dirty Genes by Dr. Ben Lynch. You might have slow methylation if TMG really helps. Source: over 2 years ago

I saw that https://selfdecode.com/ does this sort of testing. Other DNA companies probably do it as well. I don't know how much this means though and how much I would trust recommendations based of the DNA test only, since that's only part of the whole picture. I am also reading some conflicting information on the topic and I can't quite understand how much of all of this are people's opinions and how much of it... Source: over 2 years ago

I think you should look into period underwear. Its more expensive than pads, but its reusable for years and saves money. Ranges from about $20-$30. thinx.com has a teen section with smaller sizes and a variety of styles. Source: about 1 year ago

I have been advocation menstrual cups to those who are still having their cycles when doing through hikes or just camping for a few days. I have never heard of the flex disk before and thanks for recommending it. I use a p-style when out as it is what "fits" me best. Also, look into thinx.com for absorbent menstrual panties which I bought for my niece. That company also makes absorbent panties for bladder... Source: almost 2 years ago

I have "period underwear". Thinx brand specifically. They are super absorbent, attractive, and easy to clean. They aren't thick, so you can wear them like normal underwear too, and come in all the needs from thongs to briefs. I like to pack half and half - regular underwear vs period type. When you can't access washing machines, they are as easy to wash in the shower, or however you clean your underwear... Source: over 2 years ago

Here is what I use most often. In the daytime, I usually wear absorbent undies with a pad. My favorites are Thinx (shethinx.com) and Knix (knixteen.com) because they absorb a lot quickly and they look a little like normal undies. I usually use a prevail pad along with them for extra protection and because it will absorb fluids that tend to leak when I'm sitting down. Tena and Prevail are my go-to pads.
