What my period looks like

Hey hey hey!! It’s your girl, Liz, here! I’m so excited to bring you this post.

I’d like to say first off this post is all about the length, flow, and symptoms that I get on my period. As well as a couple tips sprinkled in. If you get triggered by periods (which is, uh, blood coming out of your body) and blood (which is… blood?) then you might possibly not want to read this post.

Also I’m very open and sometimes sarcastic about my period so don’t mind that. (unless you do, then go for it!)

Note: Everyone’s periods are different, some are heavier, some lighter, some longer, some shorter. It really depends on who you are. Your flow and mine aren’t going to be the same. If your period doesn’t fit my description, that’s okay! In fact, there is a good chance yours is different. I just wanted you to get an idea of what mine looks like, mostly for reference for some posts coming up.

Ever since I started my period in… 2018? Yeah, every since then I’ve had it consistently every month. For some girls it takes a while to get it like that, or it might never happen like that! I have a lot of friends who get there periods every 2-3 months, and even a couple every 3-6 months. If that is happening for you first talk to your mom and maybe your doctor, there is probably nothing wrong, but just make sure! 😉

I usually know my period is coming, because the day of I’ll get these slight little stomach cramps.

Tip: Pay attention to what happens right before each period. You might spot something that lets you know the day that your period will come. Look for cramps, hormonal changes, and/or food craving.

My period tends to last about 5 days, sometimes longer if I’m eating unhealthy food *cough*.

Tip: Eating healthy and exercising is said to make your period shorter

These are the pads I use.

Day 1: This is my heaviest period day. I use a size 4 pad (4 out of 5). Sometimes I will get cramps and have to use a heating pad, but that only happens when I am not eating healthy. I will also crave things a lot, mostly sweet things.

Tip: BUY YOURSELF AN ELECTRIC HEATHIBG PAD. GIRLS THIS IS MY LIFE SAVER. AHHH. Not the microwave kind, electric. It involves the use of not using your legs to go to the microwave and wait 2 minutes for it to get hot, while your insides are dying. Then sitting/laying back down and having to get up again 5-10 minutes later. Unless you want to ruin yourself physically and mentally. (which i’m not letting you do, so go buy it now)

Day 2: This day is slightly lighter then the first day, no cramps. Again 4 pad. I start to crave salty things. And overall just feel lazy. XP

Day 3: Mr blood flow starts to cool it a bit. On this day I could switch to a 3 pad, but I usually just keep the 4 because it’s more comfortable 😂 Still craving salty things. This day I get surprisingly motivated and ready to be productive. It stops at night.

Tip: Periods don’t have to take away your productiveness. Try doing something productive and you might even find it easier then on normal days.

Day 4: I can go for a 2 pad. I feel completely normal besides an annoying slight amount of blood coming out of me.

Day 5: I wear a panty liner and get even more annoying at the small amount of blood coming out of my body.

Day 6 (if there is a day six): Same as day 5, except I ditch the pad, because I’m sick of it. If there is any blood on my underwear it washes out perfectly fine.

Well, there you have it! I’m incredibly grateful I don’t have a lot of period symptoms… incredibly.

I hope you guys enjoyed this, or not. Honestly this was a really random idea that popped into my head so I just wrote this post. Yeah… BUT HEY! Maybe it helped you! Maybe..

In next months posts I’m testing ways to make your period lighter so stay tuned for that 😏😉

See you guys next month!

Bye!
