Love Your Period

[Anonymous]

Now I know everyone is talking about how periods suck because of some reasons such as:

-Cramps:

- Hormonal Changes effecting daily life (lol):

- Having to use pads, tampons all the time:

And so on. HOWEVER I wanted to point out something different today. Here are some benefits of periods:

1. Menstruation is a natural cleanser

2.Your period can slow the aging process

Women age more slowly than men because menstruation causes iron loss. Losing iron via blood can lengthen lifespan.

3. More satisfaction in the bedroom. (Feeling Horny!)

Menstruation = Higher libido which makes you want to jump on your man!

4. It's a monthly health report

Menstrual blood can offer early signs of developing illness and allow for the prevention of disease.

5. Feeling Feminine

Periods can make you feel more feminine. There are a lot of transgender women out there who make "fake period blood" just to feel more feminine.

So girls, long story short, embrace your period! Never mind me though, I will be still sweary on my next period! Lol But the point of this take is to remind you that everyone of you is unique and our periods are unique too haha!

The number new thing I like about periods is that guys will never understand no matter how hard they try but girls do. It helps unite girls and remind each other we are on the same team. I like how you look on the bright side of things. 😀

yes girls are just amazing and periods are just another thing that makes them so different from guys which makes girls even more beautiful and why i wish soo much that i was a girl. being a guy is so horrible.

[kisnome]

Being a guy isn't horrible. Guys have their advantages too. No need to put down one gender to uplift another.

[ashisimo]

good take, i've been blessed with an easy period and it does make me feel feminine. it's nice to think about how women go through the same things like that, unite.

[myTake Owner]

exactly :)

I like how easy my period is to deal with when using a menstrual cup. They make clean up easy and my clothes are happy too. I like what birth control does, for making my cramps just disappear some months, which is amazing, because without it, I have debilitating pain and throw up a lot that first day. I love my period for the fact that it's a normal biological function and a part of being a woman. But I also love modern medicine and inventions for helping me out a bit with the beast :)

I have dysmenorrhea which means I have crippling periods. They're extremely painful so much so I throw up and cannot eat or move. I have to miss school and work because of them and I almost lost my previous job due to my absences. My periods stop me from living my life normally for about 2-3 days. I've passed out before because of them and usually I end up dehydrated from all them vomiting. But ever since I've started my birth control I can live normally :D :D :D :D :D :D

I still believe my period is death incarnated but it's Ohkay. This was the brighter side of things which I thoroughly enjoyed I'll try to remember it the next time I'm laying in the fetal positions trying not to die from the spawn of Satan trying to crawl out my uterus 😁

[CHARismatic110]

Yeah, no. I've had horrible periods from the very first time I got it. It's irregular which means I can go without for months and then have it come and stay for weeks. My cramps are insane. They've floored me (literally) many times. I was diagnosed with menorrhagia a few years back after almost needing a blood transfusion because my period had been on for a month. And, I have iron deficiency anemia. I'm pretty much bed ridden during the duration of my period. I hate it.

[snowangle]

Nice and positive haha :) It's good to look on the bright side of such a crappy part of life!

Out of curiosity, is it really true that iron loss lengthens lifespan? I've always known iron deficiency to be unhealthy.

[mistixs]

To an extent

[ColinHarvey]

There should be an app where women post pictures of their periods with a Marilyn Monroe quote over them so they have someplace to demonstrate their pride and joy.

Cause when you're quoting a woman make it one known for portraying a moron who got murdered in a bathtub.

Gud 1 m9

To dispute number 2, I'm anemic and suffer from low iron because I lose so much blood.
Anemia can cause death if iron levels aren't raised.

[Scrambledagain]

I know 3 girls who are on iron supplements because of this. Because of her low energy during this time, my girl also sometimes gets migraine triggers. It's a shit one. Can't say I feel your pain here, but I do see it and yeah, it's a shitty one.

[Stacyzee]

Yeah I'm on iron supplements too unfortunately.
Age age 19, I was told by my doctor if I don't get my iron level up I will have a heart attack

[LittleSally]

I understand... yet I hate it with a passion, since it seems to always try to kill me. xD
But it's become more annoying than anything else lately. Haha

[COCOCHANEL]

finally someone mentioned the link between iron and ageing !

[ObscuredBeyond]

But if you try to have sex during one and are interrupted, wouldn't that be...(*flips sunglasses*) an interrobang‽‽‽

Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!!!

[fallen_angel666]

lmao

[Poppykate]

Love your period? No, just no! Why, because I am dealing with cramps, and I can hate my period if I want to! I need chocolate!

[Curious_Jane]

I don't think I can love my periods. Lol My stomach cramps are horrible. It feels like someone is constantly kicking me in the stomach.

[mermaidrocketship]

I don't care what anyone says. Periods suck. They're painful and feel super gross. The only upside is that they eventually end.

[FilthyPervert]

The damon reference tho

I only hate her when she's here.
My chin is so lumpy right now, I nauseous but still hungry, and i'm in a little pain.

[lolatyou]

lol as much as I tried to embrace your view, it just didn't happen, thanks for trying though.

[SakuraCherryBlossoms]

It's weird, but when I'm close to my period, I can't hear stories or even think about it much without getting nauseous. But when I'm ovulating, I'll actually look up period stories and vlogs.

[SecretScout]

Never trust anything that bleeds for four days and doesn't die...

[Grace_Rdz]

Maybe if I didn't get lower back cramps that hurt like a bitch, I would be able to embrace it a little bit more. Oh, well xc
