About Periods

about periods

they’re the worst

make sure you have Comfy Clothes

heat packs/hot water bottles? absolute essentials

if you don’t have them, lying on ur stomach helps LOADS

if you’re feeling nauseous, the smell of peppermint eases the nausea. no one likes throwing up. if you don’t have an aroma diffuser, drip a few drops of peppermint oil into a cup of water, smell it if you feel like puking

chocolate !!! especially dark chocolate

hot drinks, like soup,,,,, or tea !!! hot tea is so nice during periods, and it has health benefits !!

ice cream is nice but not great for periods :( TEA IS GOOD !!!!!!

this list goes out to anyone who doesn’t have periods as well. if u know someone who has periods, know that cramps are bitches. help them out.

sometimes the nausea gets really bad, but ALWAYS REMEMBER TO EAT REFULAR MEALS. when u wanna puke eating is hard, i understand sweetie but even a snack. not eating makes the nausea worse.

if the cramps get real bad, remember to BREATHE. unclench your jaw, loosen your shoulders and neck, breathe in for 4 seconds, out for 5. repeat.

if there’s someone to rub ur back or play with your hair, ask them to !!

seriously, it feels better

periods are like small demon babies that bloat your stomach for five days and make u feel icky, you deserve someone to rub ur back for ten fucking minutes goddammit

keep hydrating. water, tea, whatevs. but hydrate.

pee regularly, change your pad/tampon regularly. REMEMBER THIS. set reminders if you need to.

play some chill music, watch a sitcom

REMEMBER THE HOT WATER BOTTLE. THAT SHIT IS A LIFESAVER

i’m lying on my stomach as i type this now and i feel the sweet warmth blossoming in my sad bloated stomach where the bad gremlin period baby is hiding
