Let’s be real – periods happen, but do they have to be such a hassle? We’ve pulled together some period game-changers that have genuinely helped us and our community level up their period experience. From gut health to cacao drinks (hello, cravings!), these are the brands we love pairing with our Hey Zomi disc for those days when your uterus is being… well, a bit extra.
🌿 For Your Insides: Goodness Lover
Ever noticed your gut and period seem to be in a complicated relationship? We have too.
Why we love them
• Their Digest & Debloat Pro formula includes soothing herbs like fennel and ginger, traditionally used to support digestion
• MagBiotic combines magnesium and probiotics – a duo that may help support regularity and reduce that heavy, puffy feeling
• Inflammation Pro contains ingredients like turmeric and boswellia, studied for their anti-inflammatory properties
The real difference
When your gut is feeling off, your whole body knows it – especially during your cycle. Many in our community find that supporting gut health in the lead-up to their period helps them feel more balanced. This kind of internal support just makes everything run more smoothly.
🌿 For Your Skin: Mukti Organics
Because breakouts during your period is definitely a thing (thank you hormones). Your skin needs some Mukti TLC 💗✨
Why we love Mukti
• Australian-made using native botanicals known for their skin-supporting properties
• Certified organic, cruelty-free and packaged sustainably
• Their products feel like a little self-care ritual when everything else feels chaotic
• Formulated by Mukti, the founder with a background in natural beauty and holistic skin health
The real difference
Hormonal changes throughout your cycle can affect your skin – from congestion to dullness or sensitivity. Using skincare that’s gentle, supportive and in sync with your body just makes sense. Even five minutes of self-care during your period can feel surprisingly powerful. Explore their Skincare Collection to find your perfect match.
👖 For 360 Degree Comfort & Relief: Kosi
Movement and heat are two things that many people find help ease period discomfort – but finding a heat pack that moves with you? Game-changer.
Why we love Kosi
• Just chuck it in the microwave for a few minutes – no plugs, cords or fuss
• The wearable design actually stays put and wraps all the way around (hello, full-coverage comfort!)
• It’s discreet enough to wear under clothes – no one has to know you’re mid-cramp
• Filled with flaxseed love to give that little extra relief
• The amazing vibe!! Kosi even had full body warming support, neck, shoulders, back, tummy. It is like being wrapped up in the snuggliest hug you’ve ever had! The ultimate period care comfort we use every single month.
The real difference
We love pairing our OG Kosi Heat Pack with our Hey Zomi disc for leak-free, go-anywhere confidence. Add leggings, snacks, and a good playlist, and you’re good to go.
🍫 For Your Mood: Soma Cacao
Period cravings are real – and sometimes you just need that dopamine hit.
Why we love them
• Their Ceremonial Cacao Starter Pack is rich in magnesium, which can help your body feel more balanced during your period. Fun fact: magnesium is awesome for reducing inflammation, so you might notice a bit more calm and less cramping. Plus, cacao is full of antioxidants - great for supporting your hormones and keeping you feeling your best. Nature’s little boost, right?
• The mood-lifting, dopamine effect from cacao gives you that little boost when period brain has you feeling foggy
• It's absolutely delicious...because periods should come with some perks
The real difference
Soma's high-quality cacao drink is packed with compounds that can support your wellbeing during your cycle. Managing your period isn’t just about finding leak-free solutions like your menstrual disc - it’s also about treating yourself to some delicious, healthy benefits along the way!
🌿 For Hormone Support: Fem21
For when your hormones feel like they're throwing a party you definitely didn't authorise.
Why we love them
• A blend of 21 herbs, greens, fibre and superfoods – all in one easy powder
• Designed to support liver and digestive function, key players in hormone metabolism
• Created by Meah, a naturopath and women’s health practitioner who really gets it

The real difference
Many people don’t realise how connected digestion, liver health and hormones are – but when these systems are supported, your body can find more of a natural rhythm across your whole cycle. Fem21's new formula is designed to support your body from the inside out, helping you feel more balanced during your cycle. It's all about self-care, and when you treat your body well, everything just feels a little bit easier - so you can stay in control and keep doing you.
🩷 Know your body, own your power: Comfortable In My Skin by Ellie
What if your biggest period hack was knowledge? That’s exactly what Ellie from Comfortable In My Skin is all about. Her mission is to educate and empower people through body literacy - normalising anatomy, smashing taboos, and helping us all feel more confident in our own skin.
Her book, Flip Through My Flaps, is an incredible tool for anyone wanting to better understand their body and pass that knowledge on. It’s cheeky, educational, and deeply important - a beautiful reminder that body awareness is the foundation for confidence, autonomy, and more easeful cycles.
Whether it’s learning about your vulva for the first time or shifting shame around body changes, Ellie’s work reminds us that self-education is a radical act of self-love.
🩸 For Everything Else: Hey Zomi
Of course we had to include ourselves – we’d be silly not to! We created Hey Zomi because we were frankly DONE with uncomfortable, inconvenient, planet-destroying period products.
Why we’re obsessed with our own disc (is that weird? We don’t care!)
• 12-hour protection means you can actually forget you’re on your period
• it holds 4x more than a regular pad or tampon, seriously!
• No more period admin – insert in the morning, remove in the shower, that’s it.
• You can even have mess-free period sex (try doing that with a tampon or period cup)
• Our easy-empty feature means you can semi-empty without removing it.
The real difference
Our disc sits in the vaginal fornix, right under your cervix (unlike tampons or cups that sit in the canal of the vagina), which is why it’s so comfortable you literally forget it’s there. It works with your body instead of against it. Plus, it’s reusable for years and pays for itself in just 3 cycles – good for your wallet, great for the planet. Check out our Hey Zomi reusable menstrual disc to learn more.
Periods might never be our favourite time of the month - but with the right support, they can suck a whole lot less. From small comforts to game-changing products, it’s about finding what makes you feel a little more human and a lot more in control.
