When I was a teenager, I didn’t have anyone I could talk to about my period, and I had so many questions! Here are some common period questions, with some very good answers.
1. Why am I not regular?
Most women have their period at 21 to 28 days. But if you’ve just started having your period, it may not be regular. Also, changes in diet or stress can make your period irregular, too.
2. What color should my blood be?
Menstrual blood can be bright red, but as time goes on, it may change to brown. It’s normal.
3. Which is better, tampons or pads?
It depends. I prefer tampons, but some women aren’t comfortable inserting or removing them. It’s just a matter of personal preference.
4. How can I get rid of cramps?
The best choice is to not get them to begin with: a few days before you’re supposed to start your period, start taking Motrin. Also, drink plenty of water, and avoid caffeine.
5. Can I still play sports or swim?
Yes! You can still do all of the things you normally do, unless you’re feeling crampy or tired.
I can’t swim when I have my period….it lasts for 7 days…if I will get in the water I would color the swimming pool in pink :))
Lol Tavia,
That’s gross! But you’re right. I don’t think anyone should swim during their period for the sake of everyone around them.
Lol Tavia,
I agree with you that with your period you would surly color the water.
But nowadays there are methods to help you.
Use tampons :P
