Viable Solutions: Periods Shouldn’t Hold You Back

Viable Solutions: Periods Shouldn’t Hold You Back

You’ve got plans. A weekend away. That workout you actually want to do. A beach day with your friends. And then… she shows up. Auntie Flo. Right on schedule.

Cue the eye-roll.

We’ve all been there — canceling, adjusting, or just plain powering through when your period shows up at the least convenient time. But here’s the thing: you don’t need to pause your life just because your cycle kicks in. Not anymore.

At bohokiwi, we’re all about giving you real, reliable, comfortable options that fit your body and your lifestyle. So next time your period tries to crash the party, you’ll be ready.


Let’s Talk Solutions

1. Menstrual Cups – Soft, Flexible, and Seriously Game-Changing

If you haven’t tried a cup yet, this could be your new best friend. Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, it’s inserted like a tampon, but it collects flow instead of absorbing it. That means no dryness, no strings, and no worries for up to 8 hours (even longer for some).

It’s reusable, cost-effective, and once you get the hang of it, you’ll forget it’s even there. We recommend starting with our Mini if you’re a first-timer or teen.

2. Period Underwear – For Every Day (and Night) of Your Cycle

Imagine your comfiest undies — now imagine they can also handle your period. That’s the magic of bohokiwi cotton period underwear.

No crunchy plastic. No pads shifting around. Just breathable, absorbent, washable comfort. Perfect for overnight protection, lounging at home, or as backup with your cup or disc.

3. Menstrual Discs – High-Capacity, Invisible, and Freedom-Friendly

Looking for something with a little more freedom of movement (or intimacy)? Menstrual discs sit differently than cups and can be a great option for people who need high-capacity protection with zero visibility.

Great for active days, long shifts, or when you just want to feel nothing at all.

4. Period Swimwear – Yes, You Can Swim on Your Period

This one always gets a double-take — but yes, it’s real. And yes, it works. Our period swimwear looks and feels just like regular swimmers, but with hidden built-in absorbency and leak protection.

Ideal for light to medium flow days or as backup with a cup/disc. No more skipping pool parties, training, or beach hangs just because your period decided to come along too.


You Don’t Need Permission to Live Your Life

We know the frustration. The “not now” moments. The fear of leaks or feeling gross or not having the right gear. But the truth is, your period shouldn’t be in charge of your schedule.

With the right products, a little planning, and some honest conversation, you can feel confident doing anything — anytime in your cycle. Period.


bohokiwi is proudly New Zealand owned by people who’ve been there, too. Our products are made for real bodies, real flow, and real life — no shame, no stress, just comfort and confidence.
