What Girls Said
Nurofen, Voltaren panadol are all commonly used. I would say all offers of anything sweet or food she really likes would be appreciated.
Every girl has different preferences and needs in terms of tampons and pads so yes I would ask her first.
Personally I might find it a bit weird if a stranger asked me about it, but a friend or a boyfriend I would have no problem answering any questions.
Quick tips I find a heated wheat pack helps heaps and being in a comfortable curled up position so cuddles and so on are great! And please do understand we don't enjoy the mood swings either.
by the way you are an awesome guy and I think any girl would be lucky to have a boyfriend as considerate as you!
just wish guys knew that during that time we are more sensitive and moody than usual and to be extra nice or offer to cuddle. You can also give her ibuprofen, tea, chocolate, ice cream. Rub her stomach for her.
Wow... ok. The best thing is to be cool about the whole period thing. Sounds like u r. Some guys run away. But its a natural thing and unfortunately for chics it sucks. Hormones, attitudes and mood swings r huge and not just during the period. A few days before too. I do advil. Best to get a pic or an old package. I know im very particular about my monthly supplies. Just be upfront and ask questions and tell her u just wanna help... just be cautious u might get ur head bite off.
Candy doesn't help physically but its always does mentally always ask how heavy she is and which kind of period products she prefers. Never say she's on it with she's mad thats rude. And if she wants you to know she's on her period she will tell you. Then and ONLY then can you talk about it ( i live in the united states to)
Really all that matters to me is that my partner understands how the menstrual cycle works. I have NEVER needed a man to go down to a store and buy me sanitary supplies and I am almost done having periods.
I probably don't mind any questions.
I don't really need any special treatment.
Advil, iBurophen (heavy flows), chocolate and cute little gifts. Ask what she wants, go to the details and read what it says on the packages, you'll find your way through. Honestly If any of my guy friends were to ask any question about periods in general (not personal) I'd answer them.
oml a guy who actually wants to know XD
I take advil and Tylenol, which help. Dark chocolate also helps my crapms. Ask her what brand of tampons/pads. If your getting jher pads, ask her what number to, cuz ig they do numbers now... and questions? just ask her how she's feeling (her cramps) and ask her is she needs anything
Every girl is different in her period and how she chooses to deal with them.
CRAMPS!
It's like you have bruises and someone is beating you on it. And sometimes it feels like my bones in my stomach just crush together. And you can't stand up straight and you throw up of pain. And you take 3 times more pills and you are still in pain! You feel sick you are cold but sweat somehow. You are mad at one moment and all of a sudden you are laughing. All of this for 7 days!😑 But the pain isn't that bad after 3-4 days.
That's my experience.
You can ask questions about it to girls nicely. But don't ask if someone is on their period because they are moody.
And I take Alvedon and Ipren for my period I think many do the same, I don't know.
And yes you should ask your girlfriend what kind of pads/tampongs she wants. If you wanna buy her some, that would be really sweet.
You can ask anything about periods as long as you are understanding. If I were you I would only ask people I'm close to, I don't think starngers would like it but I don't know.
Chocolate, Wine, Ice Cream, Celebrex, and rubbing of the lower back and you'll be set for life.
