Five Apps To Help Track Your Period

While you can track your period on your phone’s calendar or even on a paper calendar, there are so many more high-tech options for predicting your period. It’s especially great for those who have PMS pain or severe menstrual pain, as you can log and track your symptoms. Tracking symptoms can help you figure out if your pain is caused by your period or if something else is going on and you need to see a doctor. 

A period tracking app is also excellent for a teen or preteen that is new to tracking their period and beginning to understand their own symptoms. The app will prompt you to record your symptoms and give you reminders when your period or PMS symptoms are likely to arrive.  

Remember, while all women’s cycles follow a general pattern, your period — and how you experience your own symptoms — is unique to you! These apps use the data you’ve input about the timing and length of periods, as well as your symptoms, to make educated guesses about when your period and PMS symptoms will occur. Here at Control, we think the best part of using an app to track your periods is that you’re less likely to forget to use it! We carry our phones everywhere⁠ — which means we can track our periods from anywhere! 

And when you know you’ll need treatment for period pain, you can tuck a bottle of Control’s topical period pain cream in your purse, backpack, or fanny pack and easily apply whenever you need menstrual pain relief! Order yours today and continue reading and find the app that’s right for you!

Clue

According to Clue’s website, Clue is the number one doctor-recommended. We think this app is beautiful and simplifies the whole process of tracking your period by giving you both a circular graphic and a calendar. There are even little clouds that hover over the days when the app predicts PMS symptoms to arrive. 

The overview is very clear, and you can draw conclusions based on the information you’ve inputted quickly and easily. You can track personal patterns like cramps, skin, hair, sleep, and more information to let you get a better understanding of how your body works.

Period Diary

The Period Diary app is a little more playful and girlish in its design and overall look, using daisies and a lot of pink. Your menstruation cycle is represented in a flower where the center is a countdown of the days left to your period. 

The highlight of this app is that along with general PMS symptoms, you can also track 20 moods and sync the app with your phone’s calendar. This data allows you to not only track how your symptoms influence your moods, but also understand when you might need treatment for period pain, like Control Menstrual Cramp Relief Cream. Order yours today and always be prepared and ready to reduce period pain!

Cycles

If other period tracking apps overwhelm you, then Cycles might be for you! It is pared down, in a cycle of colored dots that are red for the days of your period, green for the days when you are most fertile, and yellow when you may have PMS — and period pain or cramps.

It’s also designed to be shared with a partner (or mom, or friend) so that they can provide you support — or buy you tampons! 

Flo Period & Ovulation

As opposed to the Cycles app, which you can share with others, the Flo Period & Ovulation app is password-protected, so you can keep things private. Along with tracking your period, this app is great for tracking ovulation cycles if you’re trying to get pregnant. 

If you have an Apple phone, you can also sync the data you input about your period and period pain with Apple’s health app and track how long sleep, how much water you drink, and your physical activity — all things that can affect PMS pain and menstrual cramps. Incorporating Control’s pain relief cream into your care routine is an excellent, non-medical treatment for period pain. Order a bottle for yourself, your daughter, or a friend today!

Eve Tracker App

We’ve saved this app for last because we think it’s the most fun way to track your cycle! Along with the traditional features of a period tracking app, Eve Tracker App includes a daily “Cylescope” which gives you a sort of period-horoscope based on where you’re at in your cycle. And there’s also daily sex quizzes and a community of other users that you can ask questions to or commiserate over PMS and period pain. You can even ask others if they’ve tried Control Menstrual Cramp Relief Cream as a treatment for period pain — or share your experience using Control with others!

For mothers with daughters who may be uncomfortable talking with you about period pain or women’s health in general, period tracking apps can be a great source of information and a way to better understand your body.

Control Menstrual Cramp Relief

Here at Control, we understand how uncomfortable period pain can be — especially if you have severe menstrual pain. That’s why we created our own treatment for period pain, a pain relief cream specifically designed to treat menstrual cramps. It’s a safe and effective way to relieve menstrual pain, and great for teens and preteens who are new to menstrual cycles and period cramps. Shop now!
