World Sexual Health Day 2026

Our bodies are ours to know, to explore and to enjoy fully. Sexuality is a central aspect of being human throughout life — in what we think, imagine and desire, in what we believe and value, in pleasure, intimacy and connection, and in every body.

Every Body is the World Sexual Health Day 2026 theme, a declaration that Sexual Health, Rights, Justice and Pleasure belong to every person, in every body, without exception.

What a ride it’s been so far!

In my last reel I told you why your estrogen patch is suddenly impossible to find. Here’s what to do about it. 👇

If your exact patch is backordered, you are NOT out of options:
✅ A different brand or dose interval, doubling up or cutting patches to get to your dose.
✅ Gel, spray, oral tablets, and vaginal rings are all FDA-approved alternatives
✅ Compounded medication—try to obtain from a certified pharmacy to ensure quality control
✅ None of these switches have to permanent unless you decide you like them better

Your pharmacy says it’s out. The FDA says there’s no shortage. Both of those things are somehow true — and it’s costing women access to a medication that changed their lives.

Estrogen patch prescriptions are up 184% since 2018 — because more of us finally know hormone therapy is safe, and we’re not settling for “just push through it” anymore. Demand outpaced supply, and now the two agencies tracking this can’t agree on what to call it.
Here’s the disconnect: the FDA’s shortage list runs on manufacturer self-reporting. ASHP’s list — the one pharmacists actually use — already has 14 estrogen patch products on backorder or allocation.

The gap between those two lists? That’s where your voice comes in.
