Hi there! I'm Rita. From Naples 🇮🇹, engineer & researcher in intimate health 🧪 I write on The Rampant Hatter, a space I made to share insights about my research. Sometimes, I also leave space for personal anecdotes. Depending on my mood and mental capacity.

With Christmas season creeping up, I feel like there's a tiring peer pressure to join the “cuffing season”.
I have friends going through a break-up, others buying a house together with their loved ones. Some are adopting their first pet, and some others are reinventing their life.

Clothes that moisturize you? 👕✨
Skincare built into fashion isn’t sci-fi anymore. Cosmetotextiles are fabrics that release moisturizers, scents, even serums when you wear them.
The future of self-care might already be in your closet 👀

And if you are wearing panty liners, incontinence pads or menstrual pads today, be sure to change regularly when it starts to feel damp. You might find you need to do it much more frequently than usual due to all the extra sweat moisture.

Fun fact: garlic oil is natural, and beneficial... yet, if used in excess can burn your skin!
Electrolytes water is well... a chemical solution... but we can safely ingest it 👀

A study, led by Lenka Vodstrcil and Catriona Bradshaw from Melbourne Sexual Health Centre, reveals that "reinfection from partners is causing a lot of the bacterial vaginosis (BV) recurrence women experience, and provides evidence that BV is in fact an STI".
