Period life hacks that saved my life !

Hey everyone !! Today I’m going to be doing a post that I’ve been meaning to do for the longest of times, with some tips on how to get over intense period pains…

Those who know me know that the period pains I get are no joke 😭 I’ll be throwing up before I ever eat because how how painful the cramps are, but thankfully I’ve found some hacks on how you can work your way around these pains, without having to miss school or work because of it.

Tip number 1: Wake up earlier than usual

I know this is a weird tip but it has worked for me, by waking up earlier it gives you time before school or work to relax, take meds and try eat a little. If also gives you time to soothe your cramps with a hot water bottle.

I feel like the less you stress when on your period the better it is for your body 🙂

Tip number 2- buy heating pads that stick into your lower abdomen !

These are literally the best, I’ve only just started using them and I love being able to use them whenever, so it’s like having a portable hot water bottle. This has helped me tremendously with my cramps whilst at school too.

Tip3- cinnamon tea !!

I thank my mom for this hack, I can swear by the wonders that cinnamon tea does for me, just boil some hot water and add some cinnamon sticks in, you can also add some sugar or honey ect, whatever suits you best.

Sadly it doesn’t taste the best but if you’re in a lot of pain you’re ready to risk it all 😂

Tip 4- light exercises and stretches

Take it easy with exercise because you don’t want to overwork your body but gentle exercise can often help 🙂

Tip 5- breathe

Breathing exercises can help you calm your body down when in pain, and training your mind and body to handle it in the best possible way

These are the main tips I have for now, please do try these out and let me know how you find them. And I’d you would like I’d gladly do a part 2 of this with some more tips and tricks 🙂

Thanks for reading! And I hope you find this useful
