What are some period tips that aren't commonly talked about?

Okay so this is super cool that you want to learn more, I totally get it, and I'm happy to share some things I've learned that not everyone talks about.

Period Prep

One thing is to pay attention to your body BETWEEN periods, not just when you're bleeding. Like, do you get super tired or moody a week before? That's totally normal and learning your own pattern can help you deal. Also, always have an emergency period kit ready! For real, it's a lifesaver. Keep these things in it:

• A pad or two
• A pantyliner (for those lighter days)
• Clean underwear (just in case)
• A small snack (chocolate is my fave, it's science)
• Pain reliever if you get cramps

During Your Period

During your period, don't be afraid to try different products. Pads are great for beginners, but there are also tampons, period underwear, and menstrual cups. Each one has its own vibe and you might like one way more than another. And seriously, don't skip the water! Staying hydrated can actually help with cramps and bloating. Also, even if you just feel like laying down, moving your body a little bit can make a big difference, even if it's just a walk. So so basically, just listen to your body and give it what it needs.
