9. If you have the motivation, try to look better than you usually look. You don't have to look how you feel. Plus you never know when you will meet an old enemy.

  • Great mytake! I just learned what to do to keep my future wife and or future girlfriend happy when the time comes. So true about the asprin, not just for periods but if you're a bad bleeder in general. Also on the subject if you're on bloodthinners avoid those too as they will do the same as asprin does. Good job on another wonderful mytake Ginny!

    • I really grew up not knowing much about the subject as my grandmother was already in menopause and had a hysterectomy by the time I was born. We discussed it some but not to the extent that I knew what to do or anything much about it

  • That first picture made me cringe so much over the thought of that actually happening. O. O

    When ever I have extreme cramp pains that make it impossible to walk. I just hold my breath and focus on with standing the pain until it goes away.

    • I know right..😖

  • My boyfriend totally needs to read this! Men get so perplexed by periods, lol.

  • I know you people are all a little fuzzy about bodily functions but sex helps as well

    And vitamin D, especially if you live in a cold climate

    And maca helped me a good bit

  • This is great @Ginnyweasley97 :)

    Great tip with the towel and pants. When I was younger I slept with a towel under me all the time. And now, haha, I wear black most periods.

    Awesome MyTake.

    My extra tip, guys, take the time to give her a little back massage if she can handle it :)

  • The towel one seems useful, aside from the fact that I always start my cycle in my sleep. My bed sheets are white. XD
    I'd have to track my cycle for MONTHS to figure out exactly when it will start (it changes often). Otherwise I'd just have to sleep on a towel all the time.

  • Thanks for the good take. While my female friends really try and hide it. Sometimes I do notice when they are on that time of the month. This mytake also explains why on some days even when it is really hot out they still wear old sweatpants.

  • Periods are so awful and fucking why mine lasts for freaking 7 days? >.<
    I would prefer to be kicked in the balls once a month X'D (no... but seriously !)

  • Somebody finally said it.

  • I'm on mine right now :( I vomited earlier because I felt so nauseous, and the cramps… holy cow I can't bare them

    • I am sorry sending hugs your way.

  • The emergency chocolate was yummy. I bought some when I went to visit my grandparents

  • hu cool but i never had any cramps with my period lol or had cravings and never looked like shit cuss i dont feel like shit im not sure y i read this lol

    • I think it's just good to know. Some months I don't have any cramps others months my cramps are so bad, I pass out

    • wow well i have never had cramps which im really lucky for that i really dont chang at all cuss i go to a online school so im always in my pjs or swet pants

  • 13 th point.. It is fucking cruel that women have to suffer cramp one week every month...

    IN comparison to that our boners are fun 😂😂😂

    • Women have problems similar to a boner... getting wet for no apparent reason and constantly worrying that people can tell if it leaks through your pants or has an odd smell... plus the lovely feeling and smell of yeast infections and other gross vaginal problems... gosh I wish the only thing I had to worry about was a random boner :P (btw, I'm not trying to pick at you, just ranting, nothing personal)

    • lol im a girl and had my period for like 4 years now and never had a cramp from it

    • Omg, Periods aren't even that bad!!! People say "Periods hurt" But tbh, majority of times they don't hurt and if they do, it doesn't even hurt that much it just feel like a tiny pinch like omg! Like it takes me forever to realize if I'm on my period or not (until I see blood).

    • Show All
  • Wonderful article, i am always looking for ways to make my wife feel better during those times.

  • This is one of the few times I take advice from the bible: just avoid a woman when she's on her period.

  • I feel so bad for you girls 😢

    • Thank you that's very kind of you.

    • I feel bad for you guys who have to deal with girls like this xP

  • you forget the most important tip
    listen men of this world
    try to know the exact type brand and model of tampons she use and buy 30 or more of them
    because when the red tide comes no one has time for shoping
    thank me later

  • Shower with hot water is amazing 😍
