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.
don’t tolerate pain so bad you can’t stand up, don’t suck it up because you’re told it’s normal, demand that you are taken seriously
Brown blood is common during the first and/or last days of your period (depends on the person) it does not mean you’re sick.
It can take several months, even up to year, for your period to become regular and trackable. Don’t worry if the length of your period changes each time or if you skip periods.
Don’t wipe too much while going to the bathroom to clean up down there. If you wipe too much you can rub your skin raw. Trust me, it hurts.
If pads or tampons are too expensive for you or your family members to afford, try Diva Cups. Yes, they are expensive at first, but just one cup can last for years. You can save a ton of money by using them.
Clots in your menstrual blood are normal. They typically occur in the beginning of your cycle. However, if they occur frequently or are larger than a quarter, get checked by your doctor.
Periods should NOT last longer than a week!!! Yes, many people have periods that last longer but it’s not normal and can be a sign of medical problems. People with extremely heavy periods that last longer than normal (like me) tend to just blow it off but PLEASE DON’T. Don’t let shitposts on this website fool you. Its. Not. A. Joke. Talk to your doctor!!
if your flow is heccin heavy ask your doctor for
this shit
Use heating pads for cramps. It’s wonderful. Or if u don’t have one, fill a plastic water bottle with hot water.
If u get really bad headaches, your hormones are messing with you, go to the doctor
They make period underwear too which are also reusable if the Diva Cup is too painful.
