Post-Pill Acne Is Real: Here's How To Manage The Breakouts | Software

Remember the time right before you first went on the contraceptive pill? B.C. — before contraception.

You were most likely briefed about the potential side effects of going on the pill, with many women receiving a leaflet so large, it could've been hung on the wall like a poster.

Whether you've already stopped using hormonal birth control, or you're just thinking about it, the not-so-fun fact about the pill is there are also side effects when you stop it.

What Causes a Smelly Vagina During Pregnancy? | Kin Fertility

From puberty onwards — and maybe even before — our bodies do a lot of unexpected, and sometimes weird stuff, that we never quite learnt about in sex ed or PDHPE.

And look, we were all most likely taught about body odour — the increase in perspiration, the need for daily showers (or more) and the introduction of deodorant.

But what might not have been included in those lessons is the sweat and smells from our reproductive organs.

Over the years, you've probably noticed scents from your nether

Does Cranberry Juice Really Help Prevent and Treat UTIs? | Kin Fertility

If you were to make a list of people's favourite juices, we're betting that up the top would be the classics: orange, apple, maybe pineapple or mango.

Not many people would immediately list cranberry juice as their go-to. Except maybe Nathan Apodaca, from the viral TikTok where he films himself skating to work, lip-syncing to Fleetwood Mac, while drinking from a bottle of — you guessed it — cranberry juice.

Your Guide to Cervical Mucus and Signs That You're Ovulating | Kin Fertility

There are a lot of weird and wonderful things that go on in our reproductive system. And thanks to the oversharing on TikTok, we've realised that the majority of us share the exact same experiences.

One of them? The telltale — not drip — but more of a blob or a gloop, that we women just intrinsically know the feeling of. You know the one. But is it the red goo? (Menstrual blood). Or is it the white one? The white goo that could be vaginal discharge, cervical mucus, or the dreaded thrush?

Understanding the Different Types of Hairlines for Men | Pilot

From frosted tips to gelled spikes, man buns to mullets to — well, everything else — there's a lot of variation when it comes to men's hairstyles. And that's not even touching on colour, texture, hair type or length.

If you've ever spent time styling your hair — and we'll count "running your fingers through it" as styling — then it's likely that you've taken notice of your hairline.

Some hairlines are distinctive, some are less so — you may not even know what type of hairline you have, or what

These Foods Can Help With Erectile Dysfunction

If you're currently experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED), the first thing to know is that you're not the only one feeling that way or going through this experience; the condition is much more common than you think — in men of all ages.

A 2016 study found that more than one in 10 men between ages 18-24 reported erectile dysfunction. In 2013, a study that looked at over 100,000 Australian men over the age of 45 found that 25 per cent self-reported mild erectile dysfunction, 19 per cent moderate

It's safe to say that no one ever has a particularly fun time going through puberty. And, chances are, your experience with puberty included acne. Not only is acne one of the most common skin disorders worldwide, but during puberty, acne vulgaris occurs with a prevalence of almost 95% [1].
