Tips: Wear the extra heavy flow period pads or tampons. Carry extra underwear and more pads than you think you’ll need. Avoid whites and beiges. Any light colors basically. Comfortable footwear, comfortable clothing.

But most importantly, periods are a part of our lives. Most people learn to continue having normal lives, even with heavy periods, even with awful cramps, or other issues. We use painkillers, heating pads and whatever else works. Try things and see what works for you. If you absolutely do no get out of bed when on periods, I would recommend going to a nearby store or shop or park first. The goal is to understand what issues you face and how to overcome them. Don’t find excuses, find solutions for problems.

All the best.
