any tips for dealing with a period on holiday? (without taking a pill)
i’m due to have 5 days of no period and then 5 days of period. such a shame! i’m dreading it because i’m always quite miserable before and during my period, i’m planning to take a lot of nurofen (i think that’s how it’s spelt) along with me but i have a few concerns.
- i don’t want to bleed on the bedsheets. i’m going to be staying with my boyfriend at his home and his poor parents would have to wash blood out of the sheets. as much as it’s a normal thing i really wouldn’t want that
- i’m fine wearing pads to bed at home but they look like huge diapers and tbh are pretty uncomfortable
- i don’t want to take the pill that delays it because it usually makes me really depressed
if there are any teas, any methods or anything anyone knows on how to manage a period during this time please let me know. also can any menstrual cup users let me know if it’s worth it? i’ve been debating it for a while but it seems a bit of a nightmare to get out. can you swim with them in? sleep? does the little bobbly thing stick out in your underwear? can you feel it? is it toxic, does it leak? i apologise for the a million questions lol.
please lmk. thanks :)
