Periods Happen... Period! (& GIVEAWAY)

I'm going to warn the men who read my blog (while I love you dearly), today we're discussing a topic that plagues women and I assume if you continue reading you may run away from your computer screaming "I'M NOT LISTENING!" So, with that out of the way (and, men, if you are still reading, don't say I didn't warn you), now we can begin ;)

Periods. They are the pits. Period.

But, you know what?! WOMEN ARE STRONG AF! I mean, legitimately, who (or what) else do you know that can bleed for days on end without dying?! Chuck Norris can't even claim a feat like that and I hear he is the epitome of a B.A.!

Periods are just one of the many inconveniences (and NORMAL BODILY FUNCTIONS... so let's drop the stigma and talk about this stuff like the mature ladies we are) that women must come to enjoy bare. THANKS A LOT EVE!

Let's be honest, there is nothing I would enjoy more than cuddling up with my pup and some chocolate when Aunt Flow comes to visit, but you probably know me well enough to know that I will let VERY LITTLE get in the way of my fitness routine. I've got major goals on the horizon and I can't be down for the count - especially one out of every four weeks! Thankfully there are companies out there that are willing to try and make "shark week" a little more manageable.

I'm sure you've heard of U by Kotex®, but did you know they recently launched a new line of products to help women stay active while on their periods? U by Kotex® FITNESS*. The new product launch includes three distinct offerings:

• NEW U by Kotex® FITNESS* Tampons come with a plastic FITPAK* so you can protect your protection. Durable, compact, and discreet, the FITPAK* will keep your tampons ready, wherever you stash them. 
• NEW U by Kotex® FITNESS* Liners have DualFlex Zones* that move to keep protection where you need it. 
• NEW U by Kotex® FITNESS* Ultra Thin Pads will flex with your body, to stay in place so you don’t have to.

You know I've always gotta get my run on... no matter what time of the month it is!

And, shoot doggy, they sent me some of the goodies to try out! I will leave out the bloody details, but let's just say they did the job and they did it well. I am a tampon kind of gal, and I love that the packaging is sturdy and inconspicuous. You can easily throw a couple of these into your running belt or handheld so you're prepared on your next long run.

Some of the things I take with me on a longer run - PROBAR Bolt chews for
fuel, a couple dollars in case I need to stop for hydration, my car or house key,
Sun Bum lip balm, extra hair ties, my phone and a back-up tampon.

Today you can win a prize pack from U by Kotex® FITNESS* - which includes Ultra Thin Pads With Wings (Regular {15 count}), Folded & Wrapped Liners (Regular {40 count}) and Compact Tampons (Regular, Super {15 count}).
