Birth control and your period: Do you have a “real” period on the pill?
The bleeding you get when you’re on the pill is not the same as a menstrual period. When you’re taking the pill, your period is technically called withdrawal bleeding, referring to the withdrawal of hormones in your pill: bit.ly/periodonthepill

What’s up with meditation?
Claire shares her experience as a skeptic, "I don’t consider myself the embodiment of enlightenment or a pure stoic.

New in Clue: Our sex tracking icons got a makeover.
The original icons were designed to be humorous, and some people reached out to us to say they liked the “guy in the tie” icon for protected sex.
But we also had many people contacting us to say the icon was sexist and heteronormative. While we always felt that ties are unisex and the icon didn’t necessarily represent a guy, people told us they felt it implied that if you’re using Clue, you’re probably having sex with a man.... This is not true for many people who use Clue.
So we decided to update the icons, and make them more gender-neutral, in keeping with the rest of our design. We are continually working to improve Clue, and this is just one part of that: bit.ly/sex-icons
