Period Nirvana
You're all invited to our Grand Opening celebration in Asheville, NC. Stop by our new space filled with thoughtfully curated menstrual care products and our museum exhibit featuring 100 years of period technology.
Come support your local (and only) period store - we can’t wait to see you there!
All Day Fun Friday 11-6:30 Join us on Friday for our official Grand Opening. Period Nirvana will have a goodie bag full of some of our favorite wellness treats for the first 10 people who visit our store. We will have light refreshments for our guests in store while they browse.
Sweet Treat Alert: From 4:30–6:30 PM, enjoy soft serve ice cream from Sweet Cub right outside the store. Ice cream is on us for the first 100 guests. Grab a ticket from a Period Nirvana employee to turn in for your free cup while we have them. It's our way of saying thanks for showing up!
At 8 pm we will head over to Archetype Brewing for "time of the month" trivia.
I know our YouTube audience isn't all local but if you are in the area please join us!

Period Nirvana
slides in from behind the rock I've been under... Hi! Did you know I opened a period store and museum in April? Probably not, because I have been so busy running things that I haven't done a great job sharing with the YouTube community outside of a few Shorts. Period Nirvana opened at 315 Haywood Rd Ste 113 Asheville NC. This period store is a combination of my love for education and belief that shopping for period care items should be a more personal and dignified experience. We have a small but mighty team here, if you stop by for a visit we'd love to help you find period nirvana! And if you don't need period products don't fret - Period Nirvana is a full destination. Like today's new video upload showcases, we have a fun museum exhibit featuring 100 Years of Menstrual Technology. Items on display are from my personal collection that has been amassed over many years. Now available for the public's view. We also sell other non-period items in the store - you might be surprised by what you'll find! I hope to make a longer video about the year long journey of idea to a real physical store. But for now, enjoy today's new video featuring the museum tour. Thanks for being part of the community here - Kim

A new video is on the way… a demo and review of the Pixie Disc Applicator. Why do I only share 1 YouTube video every quarter? I start with 50 minutes of raw footage where I talk at the camera in circles. But first I have to hype myself up into getting in front of the camera because that means also doing my makeup and cleaning my office. Then, I spend 2 weeks editing myself into making sense. Next, I go through a full watch and cut the video 4-5x to trim more and more of my own unnecessary blathering out. I'm down to 26 minutes from the original 50.... I am the only editor who knows what I am trying to say so hiring an editor won't work.
I wish I had it in me to upload more frequently 😮💨 Excited to share this one though, you’ll be seeing lots of footage of multiple disc brands in action. I also got lubricant IN MY EYE during filming. Occupational hazard.

I live in Charlotte NC and my family and I are safe. Asheville is like a home to us and we have always planned to live there when the time is right. That’s why we picked Asheville for our store location. I tried to film a video and I can’t. Nothing really seems important outside of finding ways to help WNC. Please donate to

While I respect people's choices and decisions, I find it kind of ridiculous that so many women are so uncomfortable or grossed out by their own bodies and bodily processes. Honestly, I think the body is an amazing thing - and those bodily processes are evidence of that. Obviously some of these processes can be more uncomfortable or messy than others, but seriously, there are grosser things out there than this! As a woman - I don't view my period as a curse (sometimes it's inconvenient of course) but it's just something that I (And most women) have to deal with. Some have a lot more uncomfortability than others (endometriosis, heavier flows, cramps, etc). But I don't understand the amount of 'hate' on a product that offers a more cost- efficient and less wasteful option for women of child-bearing ages. To each their own, of course. But to see people refuting this only because it's 'gross' or 'messy' is a bit childish, in my opinion. Getting to know ones body, and understanding it, and not finding it gross or awkward, is a beautiful and empowering thing - and makes life a lot easier (in my opinion ) such as periods, sex, pregnancy and childbirth, medical exams, body image etc. These are all improved when you're not embarrassed or unfamiliar with your own body.

I cannot thank you enough for the "bearing down" tip. It makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE between a painful turning uterus inside out experience and a smooth removal ! Thanks !

I think adding the liquid made a very good visual for those who might be nervous about using it. Another tip for putting it in, I find if I wiggle the cup around a bit by the stem after insertion, I can actually feel it suction, so I know it's in there well. Haven't had any leaks yet!
