Now Cycle Savvy has the answers that will help you understand what is really happening with your body on a day-to-day basis. It's the first book specifically designed to teach young women about the practical benefits of charting their cycles. Explore the fascinating world of ovulation, fertility, and why you even have periods at all! And learn all about the body signals, mood changes, and other signs that accompany your cycle.

Life-long Reproductive Health=Education February 21, 2007

As a physician specializing in fertility, I see a lot of chronic reproductive health problems (and their devastating consequences)in my adult patients that could have been prevented if the patient had been provided with quality reproductive education as a teenager. This book provides the information young women need to make decisions at a young age that will impact their health across the lifespan. Thank you, Toni for making my job easier and for preserving the reproductive health of the next generation.

How did teenagers survive before Cycle Savvy? We floundered in ignorance, that's how. No more! Toni Weschler never talks down to her readers as she covers everything from the nuts and bolts of menstruation to the insidious nature of modern advertising to the emotional and physical benefits of delaying sex. Girls will learn how to keep track of the not-so-mysterious-anymore wonders of their bodies, and discover how useful this information will be for the rest of their lives. I am so excited to share this book with my daughter...and my son! Guys need to know, too, you know!

If only this book had been around when I was a teen! Great, solid information shared in a straight forward way that will assist young girls in getting past the hypersexualization that they face today and move into a core of true self respect and self esteem. This book is a blessing.
Perfect Gift For High School Girls November 30, 2006

I highly recommend this book as the perfect gift for high school girls. It is a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about your body, with the biological information entertainingly presented in conversational language, broken up by fun illustrations, charts, and thought-provoking personal anecdotes. After reading it, teen girls will have the vital information they need to make intelligent choices about their bodies, rather than being influenced by peer pressure. With two daughters, I am glad to have this book on our shelf and am recommending it to all my friends! It is the new "Our Bodies, Ourselves" for this generation!!!

I bought this for my teenage daughter having read the author's first book and having listened to her on local radio. I did not force the book on my daughter but simply left it on the table. I've watched my daughter pick it up and read from time to time and I can see she is absorbed at times. The book has a huge amount of biological science written into it yet the diagrams are illustrative of the concepts making it easier to read. We don't talk much about the topic but I am certain it is making a difference in my daughter's awareness which can only help me as a parent.
