I'm going to be honest with you about something I'm not comfortable talking about publicly. I thought long and hard about this post before I finally clicked "publish." This piece is sponsored by Kotex and isn't a topic I'd normally write about, but there's something important about this campaign. So let's have that giggly conversation!
When that time of the month comes, I'm a mess. I eat everything in front of me, I can't focus, and even my skin hurts. All of this is biological and there's nothing really we can do about it. But the worst - THE WORST - is when I have to go to work. Normal Anna goes out the window and takes all of my confidence with her.
It's the loss of confidence that's the biggest problem. It isn't fair! We already have to deal with all the other side effects, why do we have to feel bad emotionally as well as physically. And a big, big part of that is having to *check* all the frickin time. I sit as little as possible, drink as little as possible, and don't even get me started on the outfits. White? Right out. Dresses? No way. Anything I would normally wear to boost my self esteem is shoved to the back of the closet in favor of dark colors and forgiving cuts.
So what do we do about it? Well, Kotex is on a mission to Save the Undies (first giggle!). But seriously - I won't ask you to share how many undies you've lost to our monthly friend, but something tells me this is a shared experience. U by Kotex is a new line that's designed around something called a 3D Capture Core. It's very science-ey, but the important thing is that it works. And they're pretty! And you can try them for free!
Thanks to U by Kotex for sponsoring this conversation.
