There are many ways to not think about your period. It can be uncomfortable, especially when it's heavy and long. But you can still keep your mind off of it.
Steps
Find the best product for you. Wear the most comfortable pad, tampon, or cup you can get. Which you choose is completely up to you—try different brands until you find one that works best for you. Consider trying things like reusable pads and tampons, menstrual cups, or sea sponge tampons, as some people claim that using something more natural will shorten your period.
Distract yourself. Get into things like sports, cooking, reading, or even watching television.Spend some time doing things that you love and are good at.Advertisement
Calm cramps with hot drinks. Try drinking some hot chocolate or tea, which help calm the uterine contractions you get with your period.
Use heat to relieve cramps. Try to use a hot water bottle or an electric blanket and place it on the area where you experience pain. A hot bath or shower can also help.
Don't worry. Many people have periods: it's a totally natural thing. If this is getting you down think of your role models. Probably at least half of them have periods, but that doesn't stop them! You can even go on YouTube and watch videos about periods to help you feel a little better.
Wear comfortable clothes. This includes track pants, loose shirts and dresses. Try to avoid jeans and belts if you can.
Have fun; don't stop doing everything you want to just because you're on your period. Be cool and calm and remember, girls (or boys/kids) just wanna have fun! Continue your daily activities normally, periods won't have to stop you from every thing that you do.Advertisement
