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.
*adding to the first point, use COLD water to wash the panties, WARM will just soak the blood further into the panties!! x
