End Goal: 20 masterposts by the end of the month

!Attention! If any of you have this thing against me talking about period for the ridiculous reason because it is supposedly “ disgusting” please give me your url so I can block you immediately.

Lmao sorry for the intense intro, I just can’t stand the stigma against period blood? It’s legit just a type of waste we have to go through????!?! Okay, on with the mp. This is for all people with a uterus.

 Cramps Cures:

Ahh, period cramps, those things that feel like needles poking into your sides multiple times and like you are scooping your insides out with a knife. So nice ;;;;;;;) (Note! If you are suffering menstrual pain to the point that it is preventing you from living your daily life normally,you need to go see a doctor.)

- Tea! Tea fixes everything. Herbal tea containing ginger can make your period more regular, peppermint helps cramps, and basil + thyme has a pain-killing effect.Green tea also helps.

- Use painkillers. Don’t overdose though. Take what you need, for me, its more of an emergency, that’s when I take painkillers. I like to pop an Advil sometime to help.

- Heat Packs. They help relieve tension press it to your stomach. Try a hot bath as well.

- Light exercise. walk a little, I know this might seem a little wtf (I mean the last thing you would probably suggest when you are in intense pain is exercising) But it works. Stretching also works.

-Do Yoga. Here is a set of yoga moves that really help in relieving cramps.These poses really help.

-Baths. Use two tubs that you cans sit in. Sit in hot water 4 3 mins. Then in cold for 1 mins. Repeat 3 times.

- If you feel so bad you have to stay at home, please stay at home! This is more important than any hw.

To Do:

- Eat food that are:

- Rich in calcium (beans + spinach)

-High in antioxidents (cherries + tomatoes + squash)

-Lean meat. (tofu + cold-watered fish)

-Vitamins. (D + E + Calcium)

-Drink 7-8 cups of water. Tracker here.

-Warm (soup is great for this kind of thing)

-get a good night’s sleep( THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IF YOU DON’T DO THIS IT’LL FEEL LIKE HELL THE NEXT DAY)

Stay Away From:

-Caffeine. Alcohol. and tobacco.

-Avoid processed foods for a while, the trans-fatty acid is torture for your pain.

-Avoid cool food. (Ice cream/ popsicles/ etc.)

How to Get Stain(s) out.

Here is a mp that had helped me a lot with blood stains.

Period Tracker Apps:

Clue (ios /android) This is suppose to be a period tracker that is not pink (finally!) To begin, you enter your typical cycle + length and then it predicts your future periods. It also let you give a mini entry of the various special things about your flow. You can also set your reminders!!! My fave app tbh.

Life- It’s sleek, simple interfaces make it easy to organize. If you want to add more features you have to add upgrade to premium but even without that it is v. v. cool. + It’s only subtly pink!!!

Tech period tracker apps are very limited. And frankly I only like these two, other just looks kind of tacky or just scream IMONMYPERIOD

Misc.

@period-tips Basically a bunch of tips that is so extremely helpful !  The admin is so nice 

How to: Make a makeshift pad out of toilet paper.

- get one long strip, fold it up put it on your unmentionables, then get a second long strip, wrap it horizontally to secure the first strip.
