Girls on period

It may get a bit too personal but i believe if you're a girl , you'll eventually face the following issues and if you're a guy , at least once in a lifetime , you'll be asked to buy pads/tampons for your mum , sister or even your wife . However , this is more for a girl hahaha .

When i first had my period ( at the age of 12 ) , i was bathing , i knew nothing until i was about to wash my undergarments , i saw my underwear flooded with blood , it's not like your normal blood that you see when you had a blood test , it's a bit darker and thicker and gives out a super strong smell . I thought i had cancer or whatsoever . I panick and i stayed in the toilet , holding onto my underwear , sweating like mad , didn't knew what to do at all ( for at least 5-15mins ) . Then , I finally got that courage to walk out of the toilet and called my mum , i told her " mama where are you ? faster come back ! something happen ! " she scolded me as i didn't tell her what exactly happened . She came home , look at my underwear and passed me a pad , saying " didn't your school teach you ? " Yes , the school had definitely tell you some of the things to make you get prepared but they DON'T tell you when you are having your first period , the blood will look like this and all .

1. what is a pad / tampon ?

Basically a pad is like a diaper , where you place it ABOVE your underwear , that helps sucks the menstrual blood so that it wouldn't stain on a girl's underwear . A tampon is basically something you stuff INTO your private part .

Pads : There are many different types of pads. The top has “wings” to help adhere stronger to your panties ad the bottom does not. Both are sticky on the bottom. They also make specialty pads for women who wear thongs. You can not wear a regular pad with a thong panty. If you do sports or are very active, the winged ones are going to work better for you.

There was once , in school , when i forgot to bring pads to school as i didn't knew it was coming so i went to the general office , basically an office in school that provides medication and all , i went to ask one of the aunties for a pad and the pad they provided me was WITHOUT wings , yeah , it looked similar to the ones WITH but it's SUPER WEIRD as it was my first time wearing a pad WITHOUT wings and secondly , IT'S NOT THAT SAFE as compared to the ones WITH wings that secures to the bottom of your underwear to prevent leakage and the movements of pad when you walk etc . Thus, the downfall of blood is MOST LIKELY to LEAK .

Tampons ( i've personally not use it before )

2 . What will you experience MOST LIKELY ?

Bloating of stomach . You know that awkward moment when you can't stop your FARTING due to your period ? For whatever reasons , when i get my period , i fart a lot , and i meant a lot . I fart when i do jumping jacks , when i walk , when i lie down , when i stand up , whatever i do , wherever i am , i fart , non-stop .

Stomach cramps . I don't get this for the first few years when i had my period and i thought i wouldn't get it FOREVER but until i get it a few years ago that makes me miss the years when i didn't had this . It's a bit like gastric and a bit like constipation , maybe a bit more painful , you move , it hurts , you drink cold drinks , it hurts , you sit down , it hurts . It hurts as though your VJJ is gonna explode . But different people has got different level of pain . some people get the slightest pain while some people gets the major pain when they can't even leave their bed .

Tiredness . Super tired . Extremely tired . When i have my periods , i just wish to lie in my bed and do NOTHING . I know the blood's gonna stain my pants or even bed sheet soon but i just don't have the energy to move , i get so tired that i don't wish to do anything but sleep and lie in bed . I wake up everyday , walking like a zombie , or more like a sloth . I'll drag my feet and just wanna go back to my cozy bed .

Stains . Everywhere . Bed sheet . Pants . Skirts . Chair . It's to my horror when i first stain my bed sheet , in the middle of the night , i have to wash it before i goes to school as well as my panties . And like i've mention previously , tired + having to wash bedsheet and panties + need change pad + need prepare for school = terrible . And this will already spoil your day isn't it ? Have you ever done this ? When i'm having my periods , i will always ask my grilfirends to help me check my school skirt every FEW MINUTES because i always ended up staining them as the teachers don't let me go toilet or because it overflowed . AND YOU GET SO AWKWARD when your classmates see the stains on your skirt as you leave the class to the toilet , it's like PUBLICLY telling EVERYONE that " hey , i'm on my periods , check those stains out " . When you finally ESCAPED the class to the toilet , you check your pads and knowing that you've stained both your pants and skirt . You have to wash in the toilet using the tap and blow drying them using the hand dryer in the toilet . What's the worst case ? When there are a huge group of girls in the toilet , near the sink , when the hand dryer isn't working and no one is there to help you get a new skirt from the office . #SpeakingFromExperience

Having lots of alarms , and i really meant A LOT . EVERY SINGLE MINUTE . Just in case you don't get up and get stained . Personally , i often set a lot of alarms on my iphone when i'm on my period . If i'm lucky , i get up on time and get my pad changed without having to wash my stained bedsheets or pants . If i'm unlucky , i wake up ONLY in the morning / afternoon , getting my stained pants , bedsheet and the stains are being dried up that it's so damn hard to get rid of .

Moodswings . Sometimes , i don't even know when i am having this issue . I get angry at almost ANYONE for NO APPARENT REASONS even my previous Ex . I would show attitude like i'm ALWAYS RIGHT . i would shout at people , and do the things i DON'T usually do . One moment , i'm happy and energetic and the next , i'm down and moody . Well , they say it's because when girls are on their periods , hormones are ALL OVER THEIR BODY ruining what the do and think and whatsoever . And for this , i apologise to people i've treated badly for when i'm having my periods and do tolerate me because apparently it's not something i can control and sometimes i don't even realise it and when i do , it's already too late and it's only ONCE A MONTH kinda thing .

chest ache / hardened breast . When i first had this , i thought i had some health issues and no joke . Your breast ache so much and gets so heavy that it's simply like a rock ON YOUR CHEST . It aches . Whatever you do , it aches . There's nothing you can do to stop that soreness , that pain , that heaviness that you've felt . Even when you lay in bed , it just hurts so badly .

Of course , there are other issues that you would face that i have not mention but you can search online if you're interested .

3 . What are the things THAT HELPS for ME .

Chocolates . Sometimes , it helps and sometimes it doesnt but the sweetness of chocolates does make me happier as you know , having periods is tiring and troublesome so a chocolate could actually help me ease my stressness and make me happier .

A hug . I loves hug , those tight hugs , those hugs that the person don't bear to let go , yes , THOSE HUGS . I just wanna lie in bed , having someone that hugs me so tightly is something so good . Isn't it ?
