I need to have a heating pad at all times pretty much, sometimes even a heating blanket, because it's comforting while it is also helping my whole body--being on my period while having cramps, makes my other normal pain hurt worse too. If I go out doors, then will need a heating blanket for in a vehicle. Good distraction, coffee, chocolate, feet massages, sitting in the bathroom with me is comforting to me while I take a bath. Sitting like a lean in next to him, sometimes the pain will be worse that I will be scrunched up -- and cannot move anymore. For me, I want someone with me going through that, so if I happened to need help, am not alone during that awful time.
There's a lot he can do, if she doesn't want/like whatever it is, she will tell ya. Same with what she wants/needs.

The thought of his thoughtfulness of wanting to be there for me, is wonderful in itself.

Just please do what I ask when I’m in pain as fast as you can- not much just please get me the paracetamol, please make me herbal tea, and please fill up my hot water bottle- I’ll probably ask you more than once- but you’ll never understand how much it hurts😂😂But don’t worry for me it’s just for the first and sometimes second day and after that I’m fine😂

Oh and don’t tell me “it can’t be that bad” “you’re over exaggerating” “getting kicked in the balls is worse!” First of all have you had a period to tell me how bad it is or to compare it to being kicked in the balls? No, you haven’t. Secondly, if we look at it from a logical perspective who is kicking you so hard in the balls continually for a whole week so hard that it makes you bleed? Oh nobody? Yeah that’s what I thought.

Before:

1. Remember the dates.

2. Be mentally ready to handle PMS mood swings.

During:

1. Keep checking on her on an hourly basis.

2. Be ready to give cuddles.

3. Keep heating pads handy.

4. Give chocolates or ice cream

5. Keep painkillers handy

6. Make sure drinking water is always available.

7. Take care of cooking and cleaning if you don't generally.

8. Don't let her do any heavy physical work, but also don't stop her from doing what she feels like doing.

9. No boys night out. Be available 24x7.

And most importantly:
Don't ask if she is still on her periods.

Whatever support she gives herself when she is menstruating at work. I dont know what thats like for women but a woman wouldn't understand what its like to be a man that would risk his life for a woman. I think she will survive, we men may not

isabellahudson08 · Answer

I'd like to be left alone. When I get my period, it's excruciatingly painful. I get nauseous, my muscles ache, and I even vomit because I have a low pain tolerance. I just want to lay in my bed, wrap myself in a blanket, and sleep after I feel better from massaging myself. I don't act like a baby and tell my boyfriend, "Buy me this, buy me that I'm in pain" lmaoo.

I’m going to get hated for this but.. even if periods can be extremely painful and have painful symptoms, there are also a lot of women who use it as an excuse for attention and mood swings. Having a period doesn’t entitle us for extra treatment..

That being said we expect someone to understand our constant mood swings, not looking our best from broad and maybe a chocolate bar or hot water bottle. but that’s not necessary per we just a nice though.

Some girls are already difficult to deal with so imagine them in their period!! Its a hell or nightmare for men, so id rather to be left alone until my period ends, sometimes i can't even deal with myself while im on my period and im kinda just bitchy around so why making him to deal also with that lol.

Sue_Free · Answer

Good and hugs I will be alright. I will let you know beforehand so we both don't become a victim of mood swings

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

Honestly I like being by myself most... I have extreme pain.. I have a heavy flow so im also weak... im a lot more sensitive things dont make as much sense.. I cry just cause and it feels good to cry.. my man is very supportive first time in my life to have a supportive man he makes himself more available

Arcreactor81 · Answer

I expect people to leave me alone and just never question the fact that I lay curled up in my bed for 3 days straight I don't have cramps tho, so that's great

Anonymous · Answer

Just the bare minimum. Stop saying that periods are no big deal. Stop saying that we are being overdramatic. Stop saying that your balls hurt way worse than menstrual cramps. Stop saying that some girl said periods are no big deal.

ibuprofen first and foremost. Then rest if I can afford to not go to work would be nice. Food and snacks so I don’t have to leave the house. And just peace and quiet

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Snacks, pain medicine, heat pack, cuddles and a movie. Oral/touching/dual masturbation if you're up for it. Oh and a bath or hot shower.

Bring me food and don't ask me to do shit. That's all the support I need, and do it from afar. Leave my food at the foot of my bed and back away 😂

I expect chocolates but I never tell my boyfriend that 😭

honestly just don’t make period jokes or ask to get head, like just be more patient and maybe get their favourite food, cause period cramps can literally be as painful as a heart attack
