I know a lot of people on this website are just getting their period or will be getting it soon so please share these tips that i wish I’d known when i was 14
– If you get blood on your panties, scrub it out with soap immediately before putting it in the wash to loosen the stain.
– wear your pad farther back when you are going to bed
– wear your pad farther forward if you are going to be walking around a lot
– DO NOT wear a tampon for more than 6-8 hours (wear pads to bed)
– don’t wear a tampon if you have no flow
– staying super hydrated helps with cramps
– other foods that help with cramps and soreness is bananas, kale, broccoli, pineapple, whole grains, and dark chocolate
– excess sugar can negatively effect your mood while PMSing
– use your period cramps as an excuse for being incapable of doing a task if that is the case (it is often too touchy of a topic to question further)
– Just remember that this happens to every girl and if you need pads or tampons, you can openly ask any female.
Probably reblogged this in the past already but it is good enough to be on this blog again
-it’s okay to be scared to wear a tampon, I know it seems little but I think it’s pretty important. I only use pads personally.
-if you can, get something you can heat up to put over your area where you get cramps, I don’t know what the area is called but yeah
Hydrogen peroxide also works great to pretreat blood stains and its hella cheap.
Periods should not involve throwing up from pain, or being unable to stand up straight. See a doctor, and make sure they listen. Get a second, third, or eight opinion if necessary. I found out I had endometriosis when I got my IUD changed earlier in the year. No one listened when I was young.
