Manage your period, your sexual well-being, and your menopause.

In recent years, technology specializing in women's well-being—aka femtech —has evolved significantly. We, as proud inhabitants of this universe , explore it from here and there. From this virtual exploration, treasures like these 3 apps for managing your period, sexual well-being, and menopause emerge.

But… what does “femtech” mean?

In 2016, a visionary woman, Ida Tin, CEO of Clue (one of the apps we recommend below), coined this ingenious term. She predicted that this new category would capture the world's attention within a few years. She was right.

The dream of changing the reality for many women, of improving our daily lives, of empowering ourselves and taking control of all aspects of our lives that contribute to our well-being, is ceasing to be just a dream. It's about time.

Within this universe, in addition to smart devices, there are other small but ingenious tools, such as apps, with incredible potential to improve our daily lives. Let's explore them:

1. Clue . For an easier rule.

There are many apps dedicated to menstrual cycle tracking. This is our favorite. Why? Because it's easy to use, intuitive, thorough, and avoids gimmicks like coloring all the icons pink and giving you silly advice. It focuses on what matters: symptoms, scientific evidence, and very detailed tracking of your ovulation period.

The key to Clue is that it records everything related to your menstrual period: symptoms, mood, cravings, pains… If you're trying to get pregnant, it helps you find patterns that can lead to the ideal time for conception, and you can also share them with your partner (or whoever you want), so it's a shared process.

In addition, you can set alerts to notify you when your period starts. This is great if you're going on a trip or if you notice your mood changing, as that could be the reason. It also has a daily reminder to take your birth control.

"It might sound absurd, but from one month to the next I completely forget when my next period is due. Since I started using Clue, I'm super relaxed about that, plus I've learned a lot about my menstrual cycle and its particularities, because it records a ton of data. I recommend it 100%."

2. Calliope . Audios for sexual well-being.

That might sound like the same old thing. But this app is something else entirely. We like it because it debunks many sexist myths, because it explores and delves into female sexuality, but it does so in an interesting and engaging way. On Calíope, for example, you can listen to erotic stories or find ways to have fun with your partner.

It focuses on women especially, because we are the main victims of the lack of sex education and those who suffer its consequences, but it is aimed at all types of people and sexual orientations.

It provides a wealth of essential sexual information and offers short daily challenges that can help you achieve greater emotional independence, experience more sexual pleasure, and more. All content is created by psychologists specializing in sexuality.

Its CEO and founder, Rocío Romero Calíope, puts it this way: “We want sex education and auditory pleasure to be accessible to everyone. We all deserve to enjoy sex and pleasure without fear, taboos, or pressure.” We're on the same wavelength, Rocío.

“I heard about this app from my 20-year-old niece and I was fascinated. I think it’s a brave and daring proposal that can help many women discover or rediscover pleasure.”

Caria . For a more fulfilling menopause.

Caria is a femtech app that promotes well-being during menopause, a complex yet inevitable period for all women. Interestingly, although all women experience it, most lack the tools to cope. We enter it completely unprepared.

That's why Arfa Rehman and Scott Gorman, co-founders of Caria, decided it was time to offer guidance and support for this stage of life. Kudos to them. Like all the apps we recommend, it's designed to provide women with well-being using cutting-edge technology.

How does Caria help?

The app features a smart assistant that informs you about your symptoms and the stage you're in. It also offers personalized programs for each stage (premenopause, perimenopause, natural menopause, or postmenopause) and tailored goals. Bet you didn't know these stages existed!

It is developed in collaboration with specialists in women's health, and is based on scientific methods to control menopause, such as cognitive-behavioral therapies, hypnotherapy, nutritional therapy, mindfulness and physical activity.

It has a Premium option with access to specific expert programs to manage symptoms.

We hope that these 3 apps for tracking your period, sexual well-being, and menopause will help you in your daily life as much as our devices do.
