☁ Essential Period Knowledge ☁

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 with soap and rinse it with cold water before putting it in the wash to loosen the stain.

Coldwater works miracles with getting blood stains out 

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 affect 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.
