Are you tired of feeling terrible, unclean and useless during your period? Maybe you already had them or you are a beginner. Either way, this wikihow article can help you at this time of the month.

Steps

1. 1 The most important thing is to get everything you need. If you have been on your period for a while, then you know which remedies you prefer, how strong your discharge is, and whether you prefer tampons to pads. Most girls use pads at first. Talk to a trusted adult, best friend, or sister about which products you should use, or choose products that are suitable for your age group. Order free samples so you can try them all (don't try them at school or work, because it's better to leak at home than in public.)
2. 2 If you are afraid of leakage, like many girls, change your pad / tampon regularly, especially if you have a heavy discharge. If you cannot change it and you have a lot of discharge, either use both a pad and a tampon, or use a pad and two pairs of underwear. It's best to use a pad, then wear shorts and a pair of loose pants for comfort and backup. If there is an event that requires you to wear a dress, wear a yoga / workout / cycling spandex shorts underneath your dress to prevent unwanted occurrence.
3. 3 Use a high-protection pad at night because you cannot replace it. Wear old pants or pajama pants.If you think you might leak, wrap an old towel or blanket around you.
4. 4 You may have cramping, but it’s better to get up and take your mind away from it. Maybe go in for sports, but not vigorous exercise. Try doing something like a light stretch. If you are feeling really bad, ask your mom for ibuprofen. Often you may have back pain, so don't hunch over or lie down. Try using a heating pad or rub your stomach gently! If you have a cat, put him / her on top of you - they act like a heating pad, especially when they purr!
5. 5If you do physical education at school, try participating, or ask your parents to write a note if you feel really bad. If you are embarrassed to change clothes, go to the bathroom, to a secluded corner, or wear a long T-shirt. Remember to check yourself regularly.
6. 6 Remember to dress comfortably; tight trousers are not comfortable. Maybe wear loose sweatpants. Wear dark clothing if you are worried about a headache, or make sure you tie your jacket around your waist just in case.
7. 7 Sometimes it can be embarrassing to talk to your mom about these things, but she understands. After all, she is a woman.
8. 8 If you do get a pair of pants dirty, wash them in cool salt water and rub them, then dry them and try again. It will also help if you wash off the stain with hydrogen peroxide; make sure you test it to make sure the peroxide won't bleach or discolor your clothes. Hopefully the stain fades, then fold the clothes or put them in the wash. Or pour something on her and rub it and tell her you spilled something on your pants!
9. 9 Don't be discouraged or anxious about it, because every healthy girl will understand this and know how you feel. Talk to your best friend or someone with whom you can openly discuss your feelings.
10. 10 Eat properly during your period. Avoid salty, fatty foods - they will make you feel worse. Eat some fruit - bananas are known to help relieve cramps.
11. 11 If you become emotional, then PMS may be to blame. Try to stay calm, laugh and smile - this will make you feel better emotionally.
12. 12 Keep a calendar or diary of your period, how long it lasts, how you felt, and what the discharge was.
13. 13 Always carry spare pads and tampons with you. Even if you don't have problems with irregularities, your friend may need them. It's always best to be prepared.
14. 14 Try to shower every day to feel clean and fresh. Try spraying some of your favorite perfume / body spray to smell good.
15. 15 If you are afraid that someone will hear you change your product, go when no one else is there, or do it while the toilet is flushing! Remember to properly dispose of used products.
16. 16 If you have discharge for a month, use panty liners. Panty liners can also be used when you are expecting your period to prevent unexpected leaks.
17. 17 Does something look like it or do you feel something is wrong? Best to check. Better to do than to regret!
18. 18 Finally, don't let this spoil your mood. This is just one of those things that all women must go through; this proves that we are healthy and fertile in the future.

Tips

• Don't wear light colors like white, cream, and khaki just in case you leak. If you stain them, it will be difficult to get rid of the blood.
• Try not to think too much about it. This will only create more stress. No one will know about your period unless you tell them.
• This is irrelevant, but you can learn a lot by observing and asking questions; this is how we learned most of what we are writing about in this article.

Warnings

• Do not leave the tampon for more than 8 hours as you may put yourself at risk for STS [toxic shock syndrome], which is rare but dangerous. Fear not, as it only occurs in 2% of women worldwide and you are most likely not one of them!
