Winter brings cozy nights and new routines, but the colder months can also impact your sexual health and overall wellness. Here’s how to keep your sexual wellbeing thriving—even when it’s freezing outside—and how Moanr supports your journey every step of the way.
Colder weather often means more time indoors and, for many, more intimacy. Don’t let the season interrupt your regular STI testing schedule. - Moanr makes it easy: Set customizable reminders so you never miss a test, and securely upload your results for peace of mind. - Coming soon in Moanr 2.0: Even more personalized reminders and wellness trackers, including period and men’s mood/erection tracking.
Shorter days can affect mood and energy, making honest conversations with partners even more important. - Schedule check-ins to talk about boundaries, desires, and sexual health. - Moanr’s encrypted QR code sharing lets you selectively and securely share your latest STI status—no awkward screenshots or oversharing.
Winter viruses can be tough on your body, so support your immune health: - Eat nutrient-rich foods (think: leafy greens, citrus, nuts) - Stay hydrated and get enough sleep - Move your body—even gentle stretching counts!
Cold, dry air can cause irritation. Use gentle, fragrance-free lubricants and moisturizers, and avoid harsh soaps. - Tip: Keep a small kit of skin-safe products for intimacy—especially if you’re prone to dryness or sensitivity.
Seasonal changes can impact libido and mood. Prioritize self-care: - Take time for yourself, whether it’s a warm bath, journaling, or solo pleasure - Moanr 2.0’s upcoming wellness trackers will help you monitor mood and sexual wellbeing, making it easier to spot patterns and take action.
