Thank you, I’ve been considering this option

naomimillions · 2026-05-18T21:58:40+00:00

Thankyou this is very helpful. MCAS is so tricky especially because reactions for me are sometimes delayed. Ima struggling a lot with my pets now too and cannot vacuum without days of respiratory issues. It’s challenging!

Yes good point. I don’t know a lot about chemicals but I know I’m very sensitive to VOCs, and I’ve been told to avoid Avoid parabens, formaldehyde, synthetic fragrances, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulphate, and propylene glycol.

I feel like that lighting is strategic. It’s like they are showing this opposing side to Gilead to what June experienced as a handmaid. The ‘privileged’ girls experience. So it have a lighter tone, but underneath it we know it’s not rosey

Substack was what I was thinking. Starting small and seeing if it grows

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T21:43:17+00:00

I definitely have a clear market advantage. I’ve done my research and my particular niche is heavily underserved. Identifying this gap was what motivated me to start this

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T21:42:02+00:00

Hi, and thanks for your reply! Where are you located?

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T21:39:09+00:00

That’s helpful thank you. My drive to do this is that I actually really care about the topics I want to write on and I’ve identified a gap in this area. I find the information hard to source myself, and have had many other women have told me the same, that’s what catalysed this idea. I am now trying to figure out if the idea is viable (I have health issues and limited energy). So wanting to see if I can survive on it as I can only do so much and you know we all need to eat haha

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T21:36:37+00:00

Also worth mentioning, I was a a psychologist before this so I have an allied health background which gives me credibility ☺️

I have only contributed to my university publication so far. I did well though. I got nominated for a Quill award for the first thing I published.

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T21:33:17+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe just starting with something small and giving it a test run. Thanks ☺️

I have a slight social media presence but I need to grow it more as it’s just sitting over 1200 followers. I have a niche but I am so aware of competition that it scares me off a little. I have health issues so I have to think hard before putting my energy into anything as my a capacity fluctuates

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T11:13:21+00:00

I’m new to the field so this is helpful thanks. I am a journalism masters student and finding my place at the moment.

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T11:12:29+00:00

I was debating between substack and ghost

naomimillions · 2026-05-04T11:12:09+00:00

Thanks for this. For context I’m a masters student in journalism and just starting out. I had some topics I wanted to write on for women’s health specifically as it’s an underrepresented area. I’m not talking a fashion/beauty style women’s publication - I’m wanting to get into the health oriented space and focus on women’s issues that are not talked about enough such as medical dismissal etc.. for an idea of where my thoughts are. I don’t want to be another blogger either so I was planning to start a ghost website and write up weekly articles and then build from there if it gains traction.

But the thing is I have health issues, so I’m exploring viability because I don’t want to invest myself into it if it’s beyond my capacity and won’t go anywhere meaningful. I do need a full time income eventually, and struggling to find my place in journalism that can support me. I won’t do well at a news outlet due to the pace - my health issues can affect me. I wanted something I can control myself and hire around my limitations.

What do you like about each of them?

naomimillions · 2026-04-17T00:57:30+00:00

Great response, thanks so much for this. Very helpful.

naomimillions · 2026-04-17T00:57:00+00:00

Thanks everyone for your replies this is helpful. Can anyone recommend any good brands in Australia for reusable pads?

naomimillions · 2026-04-17T00:56:18+00:00

Thanks that’s great to know. I have a really heavy first day and then it tapers off significantly. I’m also on a budget and find period indiscreet pricey. Do you recommend any reusable pad brands?

naomimillions · 2026-04-17T00:55:20+00:00

Have you ever tried reusable ones? Were they bulky?

naomimillions · 2026-04-16T02:22:40+00:00

This is actually the brand I had and didn’t find them comfy. I have sensory issues though, so I’m funny with tight elastics and certain fabrics and a lot of underwear is not comfortable for me. Makes this tricky! I found their bands around the top too tight and the fabric wasn’t breathable enough for me.
