Things I wish I new when I started my period‼️

Cramps💢

You can alternate between Tylenol and ibuprofen every 2 hours instead of waiting four hours on one medicine. Because the medicines have different ingredients it’s safe to alternate. (You don’t have to take my word for it you can research it lol)

Staying Clean🛀🏽

I wish someone would have advised me to start carrying around (unscented) wipes with me. Toilet paper just doesn’t cut it. Before quarantine I always had to have some good old fashion baby wipes with me at school.

Also having period products and an extra pair of underwear in your backpack is always a good idea 🎒

Sports 🏀 (Tampon Help)

Starting sports on your period can suck when you only use pads. If your looking to use tampons and you aren’t familiar with down there look up diagrams and use a small mirror. It may sound silly but it’s effective.

Also fun fact: exercise can cause your flow to lighten!

Side note if you’d want to, follow me for more teen advice because I’d love to help anyone new to the whole being a teenager/high schooler thing. 👉👈
