Guys, Here Are 18 Things To Remember When Your Girl Is On Her Period!

[Girlsaskguys_user]

You all must have heard about 'that time of the month’ talks women have when they get all cranky, moody and basically an emotional casserole. It can get difficult at times and you might misunderstand her behaviour for something else. So before you pull you hair out, here's a list of things you should remember, do or avoid while your girl is menstruating.

1. Remember it is a normal, natural phenomenon of life not a disease.

2. Exercise helps to alleviate pain. Motivate her to exercise from the second or third day of the period.

3. Limit her caffeine intake.

4. If menstruation is too heavy and painful, please ask for medical help.

5. She doesn't mean all the mean things she says, it’s just her hormones talking.

6. Never point out her junk food eating habits when she is chomping on potato chips or gulping down a tub full of ice cream. It's her time, please let her be, you can take her for a run later.

7. Be patient.

8. If menstruation is very irregular, scanty and associated with obesity, it may be indication of some underlying disease.

9. Bloating is common during periods.

10. Hot water bottle and heat pads are a great comfort to relieve pains as they increase blood circulation and lead to flush of cramp hormone prostaglandin.

11. Always remember, normal amount of blood is few spoons to half a cup. More than this is considered heavy bleeding.

12. If she skipped her period and is sexually active, she can be pregnant!

13. Use protection, during periods although its rare but you can get pregnant.

14. Psychiatric medicine can cause abnormally prolonged periods.

15. During menstrual periods women crave for sex.

16. Don't force her to be social when she is menstruating. You might put her in an awkward position and piss her off too.

17. Smoking is bad for her and can lead to premature ovarian failure.

18. Get in touch with your doctor if

• Regularity of menstruation changes.

• Excessive bleeding and clots.

• Vomiting, dizziness, excessive mood swings.

• Scanty irregular periods with acne, unwanted hair and obesity.

• If you missed period and suddenly painful menstruation starts (ectopic pregnancy or abortion).

• If pain persists through out periods and after it.

• Bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse.

Nice mytake. As a guy who has always been very distant from women and girls its new thing to learn about them.
I never knew this much about women and peiords.
by the way #15 is for real?

[Girlsaskguys_user]

I don't, but some women do. XD I would surely avoid having sex when I am havin' my period. #15_Varies_From_Girl_To_Girl ! XD

[Opinion Owner]

I wasn't talking about personally you, in general.. Is it true for girls in general? I heard Women don't want sex in general and hate sex during periods. I guess period sex is the safest without risk of pregnancy

[Opinion Owner]

by the way, are periods really that bad? I mean I don't know, as a man what I see women I just see nice beautiful people with nice aura and personality. I never thought of periods being taxing on women. I actually wish I was a woman... Well, it has its perks and blessings... The most important​one being looking beautiful, Smooth skinned body and being treated nicely and socially by society.

[Girlsaskguys_user]

I told you it varies from girl to girl! XD Yeah, periods are bad! You know, both genders have their perks and problems, men can roam outside at late night, can remove shirts in public. Women can't do it much. But, women can make a man fall in love easily. XD

[Opinion Owner]

Mind you, not every man can roam around shirtless!!! Some men are cursed with a thing called excessive amount of body hair... Everywhere... Ok, if it was sort of legal and acceptable, would women /you love to go around topless? Well at least women can remain topless in the privacy of their home, if they want to, but unfortunately some cursed men can't even do that , they can't even wear half sleeves Shirt or half pants in home... I would anyday prefer periods over beards and body hair

[Opinion Owner]

And don't worry, now it's a world of equality , even women can go out at night, hell women now even beat eve teasers themselves with kicks punches and rods

[Girlsaskguys_user]

I wouldn't roam around shirtless anyway. But there are girls who want to. XD

[Opinion Owner]

Lol *Imagines them * ;) Seems sexy... Better than shirtless men... :P by the way hairy men can't go shirtless. Yeah

[Girlsaskguys_user]

You little perv. XD What happens when a hairy guy takes off his shirt in public? Does he get weird stares from other people?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know. Never dared to even wear shorts... I guess yeah they do get weird stares by women as well as men. Guess what, once I rolled up my sleeves and that exposed my arm hairs, people who were talking to me stared at my arms... That's what I noticed... Also if I don't wear round neck t shirt under my shirt, people tend to stare at my chest hair... Obviously men... Because I don't talk to women / girls , so I don't know wether they would stare at it or not

[Girlsaskguys_user]

They stare because they are surprised to see this much hair. Nothing else. You would stare at a woman if she is super fat! (Or has HUGE breasts... 😝 ), people stare because it is uncommon XD

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah... Stare at it... Because it's seen as uglyish... Disgusts them... Lol

[Girlsaskguys_user]

No, it doesn't disgust them. They are just surprised to see it. "OMG. look at that lady, how fat she is!!' or 'Omg, that building, so tall and HUGE!!' XD

[Opinion Owner]

Fat lady is still ok and not as ugly as a excessive hairy male body is

[Girlsaskguys_user]

How about a fat, super hairy male then?

[Opinion Owner]

That's disgusting as hell for sure. Obviously

[Girlsaskguys_user]

It isn't disgusting. It is not his fault that he has this much hair.

[Opinion Owner]

Sigh* Who said it's his fault...

[Girlsaskguys_user]

Some women would even find HIM sexy, I bet. (e. g. His wife. XD)

[Opinion Owner]

He would never ever have a creature called wife in hi life!!

[Girlsaskguys_user]

You are wrong lol. Chubby men are cute sometimes. The way they walk is cute. XD

[Opinion Owner]

Awwww. Did I actually deserve it? Anyway thanks for being too sweet to me madam!

[litty]

There's a new 20th century invention called shaving as well as nudist colonies

[samhradh_leannan]

I have mixed feelings about these tips. Some are good, some are a little controlling. My boyfriend is my boyfriend, not my parent, my doctor, or my personal trainer. The last thing I want is to be curled up on the couch with a hot water bottle, and have him come in and order me to exercise because of something he read online. That would not go over well, lol. But advising patience and emotional sensitivity is good advice. Periods are not an excuse for mean, rude, or abusive behavior, but being extra sensitive or a little grumpy on your period is very normal.

[vonasaurus]

i'm on it right now and am in so much pain that i can barely move (thanks, hashimoto's). even if my leg wasn't broken, anyone who tried to make me exercise in that state would get punched in the throat.

(i danced for 10 years and taught aerobics in my early 20s. and i will tell you that exercise does not help me: it makes the pain worse, and i'd be sore and crying by the end of whatever i was doing.)

also, "oh, you must be on your period" is never acceptable. it's you being sexist/dismissive of whatever i'm going through and will only make me angry.

img.pandawhale.com/...ucking-not-meme-chl-o9w2.png

[applesandoranges22]

I can understand why you would find that offensive. im cool as long as ladies dont use that as an excuse to be nasty.

[vonasaurus]

nah, i don't have mood swings or any of that other stuff. will probably steal my husband's french fries (since i have brutal cravings for salty food) but, other than that and the pain that feels like i'm dying, i don't have any other symptoms. if she's mean to you at that time of the month, she's gonna be mean to you at other times too and you should get rid of her.

[applesandoranges22]

yeah thats what Im thinking also I have no problem with a girl stealing my food if she craved it.

[Nyx_85]

If a guy tried #2 with my bff she would bite their arm off haha. Seriously. Nobody limits her caffeine intake. Nobody.

[Nyx_85]

Whoops I meant #3

[Tanuron]

Yeah from my experience with women, never suggest nr 2. lol. Although personally I never have, but pretty sure I would piss them off with that one.

And nr 17, not much you can do about. If the girl is a smoker than naturally she will smoke regardless of her period or not, and most smokers in general is pretty tired of people telling them to quit smoking, so that might piss her off too.

Oh, and on nr 5. She most likely mean everything she says cause for once she can be as honest as she like and then just blame the period if someone gets too offended. So either it benefits her from this honesty and if it dosent, can just blame her period yes. But naturally, is not an excuse though. Even if it sucks.

[Nyx_85]

Wtf really? 2 is awesome. Probably because its hard to get moving and they think it will make things worse. It won't. I have dysmenorrhea, which is cramps so bad they needed to make up a medical term for it haha (no not funny. Freaking painful) and exercise is one of the only things that actually helps.

[yoshi_wanna_ask]

@Nyx_85 Everytime I exercise while I have my period (like a proper workout) it makes things SO much more painful & I tend to bleed more. I mean light exercise (slow walk) doesn't normally effect things but yeah, I'm really glad it works for you, but not for everyone.

[Nyx_85]

@yoshi_wanna_ask I generally don't do a full workout during my period. But just going for a walk and moving around. Maybe running up and down the stairs.

[Tanuron]

@Nyx_85 Yeah my girlfriend and ex's as well they would say it makes things worse, bleed more and yeah find it more painful. Quite possible was dysmenorrhea my girlfriend has too, was either way cramps an periods so bad they had a medical term for it, but I dont remember the English word for it. So not sure, but know regardless is pretty bad for girlfriend too like that.

[Ragini]

That's a nice Take... xx

[JoyGirl]

This reminds me that my period just ended, and I have to go through it again next month. 😂😭😭😂

[Youdoyouboo]

Me too. I have an app and it starts in 9 days. lol ugh.

[JoyGirl]

@Youdoyouboo I feel ya. 😌😌😌

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for sharing this with us guys, very well written MyTake of yours.

[Topaz171]

I agreed with everything except the exercise part on the second or third day. Those are my worst days when it comes to periods smh. I just wanna wrap up in a cuddle blanket with a heating pad and extra strength tylenol😞

[Phoenix98]

Or me and her could just hide in the house and just sleep all day.

[JoyGirl]

Yes, smart plan. U-U

[Phoenix98]

@JoyGirl Yup ^^.

[cth96190]

It is not the time when she is bleeding that is the problem. It is the three to four days before menstruation begins, during which she turns into an axe murderer.

[Miss_Behave]

ROFL... this comment is golden... and so true! :P

[Nuala]

Just act normal... Anything else would drive me up the wall.

[litty]

Is it taking advantage if she can't control her cravings for sex?

[NatashaBeauty]

If she wants to do it then it wouldn't be taking advantage of her...

[litty]

@NatashaBeauty I'm saying how periods would be like how drunk people have skewed judgement

[NatashaBeauty]

Having your period isn't an excuse for everything in life. If you consent to sex, you consent to sex. I've never had a period before so I wouldn't understand what they go through. I mean, you literally just sit there and bleed out of your vagina all day.

[lord_chilled]

@NatashaBeauty how come you haven't had a period. I mean you are 18. Do you have a medical condition? Judt curious.

[NatashaBeauty]

@lord_chilled Every one says that there's probably something medically wrong but I dont know. As long as I'm happy.

[lord_chilled]

@NatashaBeauty yeah i think its just something late onset related. If you are healthy then there's nothing serious. Keep being happy 😁

[NatashaBeauty]

@lord_chilled I've had a bunch of emotional problems and I still do. So maybe thats it.

[lord_chilled]

@NatashaBeauty oh, okay.

[samhradh_leannan]

Even if you are super horny during your period, it's nothing like being drunk. Your brain is still functioning and you should be perfectly capable of using judgement to make a decision about sex. Me personally, I don't get extra horny during my period. Biologically it makes no sense to, because you're much less likely to get pregnant while you're on it. I do get horny during my period, but usually less horny than at other times.

[manjeetK]

i sleep over my boyfriend and tel him not to do anything just let me sleep over you... hahaha..

[ProjectBaby1K]

Guys, Here's ONE thing to remember when your girl is on her period:

LEAVE.

You're welcome.

[NatashaBeauty]

I have never had a period before but I have been around when it happened to other girls. So I can honestly say you are right.

[ProjectBaby1K]

Thank you

[Girlsaskguys_user]

You won't try to make her feel better? You won't be with her in pain? You don't love her then 😒😒😒😒

[ProjectBaby1K]

How can I make her feel better? She's feeling physical pain from the inside, only painkillers can do that. It's her job to take the medicine and make herself feel better.

[Girlsaskguys_user]

No, she can feel better if you be with her. 😊

[ProjectBaby1K]

How the hell will my presence feel better? She wants me around so she can use her period to try and get me to do stuff for her. Mind as well run once it's her "time".

[Girlsaskguys_user]

Nah, not every girl takes advantages like that. You can make her feel better by massaging her body, rubbing her belly etc

[litty]

I was just finishing my weekend vacation when my girlfriend started her period and the drive home together was 3 hours. I pretty much bawled my eyes out because she wanted to break up over me not waking her up to leave

[ProjectBaby1K]

She massages me, I don't do any massage 😂

[ProjectBaby1K]

@litty That was your golden opportunity to leave bro!

[Girlsaskguys_user]

Lol why? 😂

[ProjectBaby1K]

Cuz it makes me feel like a pussy. Massaging is her job lol.

[litty]

@ProjectBaby1k I never gave her birthday gift so I wanted to bear it until then though I practically hyper ventilated at the shock of how random it was. When I did give her gift she genuinely apologized in tears. P. S. I gave her a vibrator

[ProjectBaby1K]

@litty Was she going to break up with you over not giving her a gift?

[litty]

@ProjectBaby1k Who knows, but I feel like I would've been a shitty boyfriend if I didn't give her a gift since she gave me a great birthday to remember

[ProjectBaby1K]

@litty I feel you lol

[helloitsmethere]

@NatashaBeauty ur 18... how?

[NatashaBeauty]

@helloitsmethere I think that there is something medically wrong but I don't wanna go to the doctor. I've had a lot of emotional issues so that may be it.

[helloitsmethere]

@NatashaBeauty I think it's more than emotional issues tbh, If I were you I would have went to the doctor by now.

[NatashaBeauty]

@helloitsmethere Well emotional abuse, not eating, and exersising more than needed can really lead up to amenorrhea

[helloitsmethere]

@NatashaBeauty Did you have an eating disorder in your early teens? Maybe it stalled puberty for you?

[Pepperjack]

Am i reading a fucking Buzzfeed article?

[Youdoyouboo]

YES lol thank you

[CT_CD]

Just leave until it's over.

[FaithfulGuardian]

Is it just me that when a girl is on period, her boobs become bigger?

[Vero123]

Yes. That starts at PMS and goes into her period haha.

[Storm1990]

Thanks for sharing this with us guys, very well written MyTake of yours.

[Anonymous]

Just give her chocolate lol

[Anonymous]

Sorry but your period is no excuse to act like a bitch. Men don't get any sympathy for the hormone related issues they face, and women should not get a pass for theirs either.

[Girlsaskguys_user]

I ain't saying every girl acts like a bitch... XD

[Opinion Owner]

I know, I'm just saying no woman should use her period as an excuse to act like one.

[laneller]

Not every girl act like a bitch thank you very much. But you have to remember, it just hard for girls to control their emotions during this time, so if they snap at something stupid, it's not usually under their control

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller "it's not usually under their control" Bullshit. That's like saying it's not his fault when a guy sexually molests a girl because he is under the control of testosterone. It's time to end the double standards and stop giving girls a pass for everything. Are we equal or not?

[laneller]

I'm not saying give girls a pass. Maybe if you would stop being so judgmental you might understand. There is a lot of pain that girls go through. Maybe if you'd grow up and stop being a dick, you'll be able to see that.

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller Go back and read what you wrote. Nuff said.

[laneller]

It is a reason why...

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller We all have reasons why, but not all of us make excuses.

[laneller]

Not and excuse, why a readon.

[laneller]

*reason

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller There are no excuses for bad behavior, whether you are male or female.

[laneller]

I know that... I'm not stupid

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller I'm glad to hear that. Since you were making excuses I thought you might have been unaware.

[laneller]

You need to chill. Go make yourself an ice bath and sit in it

[Opinion Owner]

@laneller Nah, I'm cool. Just had a point to make, and one you needed to hear. I'm out.

[Anonymous]

great take

[Anonymous]

OMG This is a bunch of nonsense. Any man daring to do 2 or 3 may be killed. As to 5, yeas I do mean what I say - I'm not an insane babbling nut. Geeze does this stigmatize periods up one side and down the other. Men, please don't read this.

[Girlsaskguys_user]

Some girls experience these, not all... :)

[Anonymous]

having a period is no excuse to be a jerk. When I was a 12-17 year old teenager and I was emotional I NEVER would say anything nasty to someone just because of my mood. There is literally no excuse to say something out of line just because of your period. women are not impulsive animals but these days we do not hold so much responsibility on them. I've seen girls on their periods before and the girls I know may crave certain foods BUT they do not throw tantrums and flip over small comments.

[Anonymous]

On the third day of my period I'm a miserable mess. It's the heaviest part of my period. I suffer from endometriosis (which is a disease) and my periods are extremely painful. For the longest time people were calling me dramatic until I was finally diagnosed. But if someone were to suggest I exercise on the third day or any day during my period they would be told to get fucked. That would irritate me so bad. Pretty much don't try to get me to do anything because I'll rip your face off as I'm a miserable, painful and emotional mess. You say she doesn't mean the things she says? That's not necessarily true in fact I've been so angry over someone going oh, you're just on your period so I'm not going to take this to heart. Literally holding back from stabbing them because it had nothing to do with my period. Not to mention I have bipolar disorder so I often get people saying they don't take me seriously when I'm angry because it's probably just the bipolar talking. I tell them to fuck off. I don't crave sex at all on my period. Never. Maybe right before but during my period touch me and I'll bite your fucking finger off. I get beyond irritated on my period even someone trying to hug me annoys me. If someone chews with their mouth open I'll go into my room and scream into a pillow. I don't see what smoking has to do with this. Smoking is bad for anyone... "period" lol.

[Opinion Owner]

Of course a male who has no clue what it's like to go through this would give it a thumbs down lol.

[helloitsmethere]

I'm supposed to get tested for endometriosis soon... I'm kinda scared tbh

[Opinion Owner]

@helloitsmethere do was scared too but it's best to have a proper diagnosis. There can be complications sometimes after like infection but luckily that didn't happen for me. Don't let that scare you though but so your research

[Opinion Owner]

*I was scared

[Anonymous]

I have 2 day periods and maybe 1 day of pms MAYBE most likely not tho.
have no clue why im saying this lol...

[Youdoyouboo]

You're lucky. I have 7 -8 day periods and they're super heavy bleeding

[Opinion Owner]

@Youdoyouboo im sorry :(

[helloitsmethere]

Let's switch uteruses...

[Opinion Owner]

@helloitsmethere i like mine tho lol i rather not have them at all i know i dont want to give birth i never have yet i have to keep this stupid thing

[Anonymous]

"5. She doesn't mean all the mean things she says, it’s just her hormones talking."

I used to abide by this, but after a few very nasty women said some very nasty things, I don't let this go as an excuse anymore.

If I had hormonal issues and said something nasty, would I be allowed to get away with it? No.

However, I'm always considerate, I usually have chocolate and a hot water bottle ready

[Poppykate]

... and when guys say nasty things... 😏 What do we blame?

[Opinion Owner]

@Poppykate you blame "being a jerk", as you do when a woman is being nasty.

[Poppykate]

Lol. I am usually pretty forgiving when it comes to things that people say. Things get said in anger, in hurt, etc. it's usually not what the person truly feels, so why hold it against them!

[Poppykate]

Bu the way.. you are always welcomed at my house with a hot water bottle and chocolate!
