Girls have 100 problems and periods are 99 out of them. It’s that time of the month which girls never look forward to. And these five days (for some a week) are of extreme pain, annoyance and all things sad. It’s because a girl’s body goes through hormonal changes which make them take a roller coaster ride of mood swings, and it ultimately leads to everyone around her know that she’s on her periods.
We as girls think that every other girl ‘obviously’ knows the dos and don’ts of periods. But to your surprise, there are still a few from the crowd who wouldn’t know a few things and could brush up their facts about the same.
Eat chocolates.
Since you crave for bizarre foods during your period days, it is recommended to eat chocolates in this time. It also helps you control your mood swings.
Eat healthy.
Girls lose a lot of blood during their menstruation cycle and so it is required to eat healthy.
Keep yourself hydrated.
Consuming liquids during periods only helps you reduce cramps and period pain.
Take a bath.
Taking a bath is highly soothing for your body. A nice warm shower will help you reduce a backache, enhances your mood, and cramps.
Choose sanitation method wisely.
Clean blood stains from around the area while you change your sanitary pads at regular intervals.
Choose the most comfortable option for yourself out of sanitary pads, tampons and menstrual cups. Make sure you change your pads every 6 hours and tampons every 2 to 3 hours. Pads are supposed to be wrapped and thrown in a dustbin instead of flushing them in a toilet.
Don’t use vaginal wash.
If you’re someone who is used to using vaginal washes, avoid using them during your bleeding days. Instead, warm water cleaning works just fine. Also, make sure you clean the inner thigh area thoroughly and keep it dry so as to avoid rash and itching due to pads.
