YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

Knock out those period blues before they get to you


 
We all know the feeling, chicas.  That nagging pile of unfortunate alerts that let you know your monthly visit is on it's way.  Lucky for you, we've got the inside deets on how to beat those pesky symptoms before they even hit ya!

Beat the bloat
Stray away from your salty favorites for a little while.  Why?  Your bod is going to puff just a bit either way, so don't make it worse by packing in some extra batches of sodium.

More moo juice, please
They say calcium can toss a serious hit to those cramps, and babes, dairy is your best bet to do so. Aim for a couple hundred milligrams of calcium twice a day to cut down cramps by almost half!

Say Ohm
It's pretty self-explanatory when you think about it.  Your flow comes along with some pretty messy bouts of mood swings.  What better way to calm your triggers than indulging in some yoga time.

Tub time
Chances are it's probably been a long while since you've taken a nice long bubble bath.  Take this opportunity to slip on in.  The warm water will help keep everything moving along inside to ease your pain.
 
For crazy cramps, check out these tried 'n' true tips. What's your cure for the period blues? Blog it out, babes.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!
Help help help!
Ok, so I'm supposed to get my period while I'm on a cruise to the Bahamas. Almost the entire thing is water related, and I've tried tampons but I can't get em in! Idk what to do because I'm not staying out o the water! My mom and sis say that I can just wear a Pad on the water and just change it really quickly afterwords, but I'm not very comfortable with all the worrying of my pad falling out. What should I do????




Hey girl,

You definitely should not wear a pad in the water - that's NOT what they're made for. It'll absorb water right away, feel like a diaper, and won't protect you at all. Definitely try tampons again. Stick with it until you get it. Follow the tips on the box, RELAX, and remember that tons of girls use tampons - you can too! (I do!) You get used to it and you get better at using them after you practice more. If you're having trouble, try asking your mom or sis for help. You don't want to miss out on all this fun, so it's really worth working on this!

Mod-
How are you today? I hope you're good. Today I have 3 questions for you.
1: what does mod stand for and what does it mean?
2: Am I old enough to start using tampons? I asked a question similar to this one but need a slightly better answer. sorry. I'm 12.5 years old and have had my period for almost a year now.
3: I want to start using makeup, but my mom says no foundation and I can only wear a little bit. I am white and have rosy cheeks and really dry skin. I want to know how to make my skin less dry (it looks like beard stubble almost it's that bad), how to use a little bit of makeup (I have eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, lip gloss) to make me a little prettier. I need a fast routine, so that'd be great.
Thanks!!! Laughing




Hey girl,

1. "MOD" stands for "moderator," which is our job title. We moderate all the comments on the site - aka we read them and approve them if they don't contain any offensive language/topics or personal info Smile And we answer your questions, of course!

2. Absolutely! Whether you're ready to use tampons is a personal decision (you should chat with mom or dad about making the switch), but you're almost 13 and you've had your period for almost a year so you're definitely experienced enough for tampons not to freak you out. The question is whether you're responsible and mature enough to remember to change them often enough, deal with leaks, etc.

3. You should only need a few pieces of makeup to do the job! Since your skin is dry, try getting a facial moisturizer with SPF in it. Apply that to your face every morning. Tinted moisturizers have some foundation in them, so I'd probably stay away from those. But even normal moisturizer will give your face a nice glow! Then, I'd use eyeliner on the top lash line. Blend it up so the line isn't too harsh. Finish with a swipe of lip gloss! Smile It'll define your eyes, make your skin look healthy and pretty, and it's subtle.

Hey Girl,

Don't worry, brown discharge is normal for first periods. You'll also not feel the flow but it is usually continuous for 3-6 days.

Hey amileofroses, I'm not exactly sure either. That's the usual color of discharge but I don't know if the amount of it is supposed to vary day by day. It's probably best to research it or get a doctors opinion. Hope this helps! Xoxo
