A condom that splits almost always has a reason: size, lube or technique. Nominal width, latex or polyisoprene, internal condoms, free condoms on the NHS and what to do, hour by hour, after a split.
Around 8 in 10 pregnant women feel sick. Why it happens (including the GDF15 hormone), how long it lasts, what really helps, free prescriptions and the warning signs of hyperemesis gravidarum.
After a potentially traumatic event, two in three people on average keep stable psychological functioning. What psychology says (Cyrulnik, the APA) and the practical steps for bouncing back after grief, separation or illness, with UK support.
At Mademoiselle Bulle, talking about women’s health without scaremongering, without oversimplifying, and without replacing your GP — that’s the challenge Diana takes on in every article in this section. Because understanding your body isn’t self-medication, it’s autonomy.
According to the NHS Digital Health Survey, women in the UK consult their GP 32% more often than men, yet report feeling less informed about the issues that concern them directly: cycles, micronutrients, pelvic floor, mental load, chronic fatigue. That’s the gap we’re filling here.
You’ll find comprehensive guides on nutrition (iron, calcium, vitamin D), adapted physical activity, self-confidence, and everything related to wellbeing in the broadest sense — always sourced, never prescriptive. Every article cites its medical sources (NHS, NICE, WHO), clearly distinguishes facts from opinions, and reminds you when to see a professional.
