Can I speed up my period?

 

Check these out, too...

  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?
When my period comes, is there anything I can do to make it pass by faster?

 

Unfortunately, babe, unless you are on hormone regulators like birth control pills, there’s no sure-fire way to make Aunt Flo hit the road. You can make the whole thing more comfortable and easier to handle by drinking lots of water, which will help your body flush out everything it needs to. Stay away from super salty food to avoid bloating, and exercise regularly to fend off cramps.

Mod Mod Mod!
Recently I've started working out more and eating healthier because I want to get in shape. I normally run and I love how it feels after I'm done working out Smile A couple days ago I got my first period, and I haven't worked out at all since. I'm not sure if you CAN workout too much when you're on your period! My main question is, can I go running on my period if I'm wearing a pad? I don't think I'm ready for tampons yet. Thank you : )




Hey babe!

Yep, it's totally fine to workout while you have your period. In fact, it can be helpful and boost your mood and any other PMS symptoms!

MODMODMMODMODMODMODMODMODMODMOD okay thank you but im scared of tampons. I know it isnt ok to put in when off ur period and still is risky when on because of tss. I dont no if its okay. And i will be there forever, and i dont know when to change. And i only have one absorbency, so i might leak. But hoe do i no when to change? Like im worried.




Hey again!

With tampons, it's always better to be safe than sorry. In general, you should change it every few hours, depending on how heavy your flow is. Bring a bunch of tampons with you so you're not worried about running out. If you have a really heavy flow, change it every 2 hours or so. If it's not too bad, try every 4 hours. Running to the bathroom is annoying and inconvenient, but you'll be glad you do when you don't leak.

MODMODMODMODMODMOD i got my period for the first time today. And mt team is having a party this afternoon. And it at a waterpark. I have to go, and i really want to swim. Plus my crush will bethere! What should i do???




Hey girl!

The only way you can swim while on your period is to use a tampon. I know that's kind of scary since this is your first period, but if you can use a tampon, you'll feel so much better and more confident. If you use a pad and go in the water, it will get all soggy and icky--not good!

My family is going on vacation here in a couple of weeks to the beach. I am supposed to get my period during that time. I don't wear tampons and my flow is usually heavy. Is there any way I can still swim and be confident?




Hey girl!

The only way you can swim is to wear a tampon. Try using one! You'll be so much more comfortable and confident if you use one. You'll have so much less to worry about!

So cheer camp is tomorrow and i started this month's period this morning. What are some things that i can do to make sure i'm protected and I wont leak and ruin my camp clothes and how to manage it well? PLEASE reply STASAP! Thankyou!! Smile




Hey Girl--

Just be sure to change your tampon every few hours and you should be fine. If you're nervous, you could also wear a thicker panty liner to prevent any leaks. 




have fun!
