What is a Healthy Period?

Cycle Length – Your cycle should last twenty-eight to thirty-two days – anywhere in between is fine as long as it is regular and consistent for you.

Color: Your bleed should be the color of deep red cranberry juice or dark cherry juice from start to finish.

Flow length: Ideally, your period should last four to seven days.

Flow consistency: You should have a strong flow without any clots, and it shouldn’t be inconveniently heavy or have you feeling like you’re bleeding through menstrual care products ever hour.

Physical sensations: You should be able to feel your uterus in action with some slight sensations or warm feelings, but you shouldn’t experience any kind of pain that would make you reach for drugs or hot water bottles.
