When Aunt Flo arrives, most men would likely hide and wait for her to leave. However, this may not be the best option. It’s important to remember that a girl on her period doesn’t have to be feared. She just needs to feel better.
First, your girl may need you to distract her from the discomfort. She might also feel offended that you ran away from her as if she turned into a hideous creature.
You have the opportunity to show your girl that you’re capable of looking after her.
Put yourself in her place
A lot of girls have an easy period, which they can deal with for a few days. Since they do not experience any symptoms during the period, they may not understand why others suffer from pain on a regular basis.
Some women experience severe pain and discomfort during their period. These include cramps that resemble a cut, intense irritation, and craving for food that only pregnant women can understand.
Women tend to be a little bit sensitive to certain things in their surroundings, like what you say. Take the opportunity to put yourself in the shoes of a girl who is going through her period.
How to make a girl feel better on her period
We’ve got a quick guide that will teach you how to help your girl feel better as she experiences her period.
1. Don’t blame anything on her period!
You might believe that her mood swings, crankiness, and poor behavior are all caused by her period.
Even though you may believe that your girl’s period is the cause of her behavior and mood swings, it’s not necessary to say it out loud.
Women have very little control over what they feel during their period. Periods affect how an individual acts, and blaming her body for her behavior will only make it worse.
2. Don’t mention anything about blood, mood swings, or hormones
Unless you’re a doctor, your girlfriend should have a deeper understanding of what’s happening with her body. But unless you want her to spill the beans about what’s happening down there, avoid discussing this topic entirely.
You want your girlfriend to start talking about what’s going on, but you’re worried that it might look like you’re the one who’s in pain.
3. Avoid any sensitive subjects
Typically, your girlfriend is a laid-back and rational individual. But, when she experiences her period, she may find it hard to respond with the same level of nonchalance.
Before you open up about your honest opinion about a favorite movie or casually mention an out of town trip with other guys, make sure to tell your girlfriend about it when she’s no longer feeling moody.
Things that could elicit a small amount of irritation from a girl who is experiencing her period may turn into anger.
It’s important to maintain the conversation light and relaxing until your girl has already finished her period.
4. Answer questions with care
Trying to answer her questions may result in you getting attacked with tears, angry words, and even the threat of breaking up.
Some volatile questions that can be asked are “Do you think I’m fat?” and “Is it a good time to be honest?” Try to think about it yourself before you try to answer the question.
Giving your girlfriend what she wants will help you have a more positive day.
5. Be as patient as you can possibly be
The state she’s in during her period will last for a couple of days, and she’ll get back to her normal self once her period has ended.
As you struggle with your girlfriend’s hormonal rage, try to keep in mind that it’s better to be acquainted with her side of the body sooner rather than later.
It’s also important to be nice during these times. Try to use words such as “I’m sorry” and “You’re right” in your conversations to avoid using inappropriate language.
6. Give her food
Feeling bloated and losing blood can be very taxing on a woman’s body. But it can also drain a lot of her energy, making it hard for her to prepare a meal.
One of the best presents you can give your girlfriend is her favorite food. In some cases, women who are experiencing their period may act like pregnant women and start craving certain food items. It’s important to ask her what she wants before going out.
Don’t ever ask your girlfriend if she can finish a full meal in one sitting. Even though she may feel bloated, she can still consume two portions of her favorite food item.
7. Watch a movie with her
Women may experience pain during their period, which could keep you and your partner at home.
Being idle isn’t something you want to experience when your partner is feeling cranky and has pain. So, you can watch a movie to relieve her.
Since your girlfriend is experiencing her period, avoid getting her something that’s too heavy on the emotional side. Instead, try to provide her with something that will help keep her focused.
A movie that’s not suitable for your girlfriend, such as Titanic and A Walk to Remember, should not be offered. If she’s not a fan of Christopher Nolan movies, try something a bit more lighthearted.
8. Invite her to do physical activities
Getting active and moving around can help release endorphins, which can help alleviate the pain associated with menstruation.
Speed walking and jogging can help remove bloating and cramps. Water sports, on the other hand, are not ideal for this purpose.
Some women believe that engaging in physical activities during their period can enhance blood flow, leading to shorter days. This is good news indeed.
9. Get naughty
According to experts, foreplay and sex can help ease the discomfort associated with a woman’s period.
This controversial notion is not entirely clear-cut, though it’s generally your preference whether or not you want to have sex with a woman who is experiencing her period. If you think she’s ready for it, then yes, indulge.
Remember to keep in mind that women may feel incredibly unsexy during this period. It can also get messy, so try taking it in the shower to make it easier to clean up.
10. Ask her what you can do to help
There is no single treatment that can help a woman feel better during her period. Each individual has her own unique needs. So, if you’re on the safe side, just ask your partner what can be done to help.
We pray that you won’t have to do anything like running to the store to get tampons or helping her with chores. But, keep in mind that these simple actions can mean a lot to her.
If you were experiencing severe bleeding in your nether regions, having someone to help you would be greatly appreciated.
Don’t say these things to a girl on her period
Instead of labeling your girlfriend as crazy when she’s going through her period, take some time to consider how your words and actions could affect her.
Her emotions are high, and she may behave a little differently due to the pain she’s feeling.
It’s important to give her a little help, especially during this period, and avoid using any of the following inappropriate phrases.
1. “What, are you on your period, or something?”
If she says no, you’re in trouble, and if she says yes, you’re in even more trouble.
A woman’s emotions do not necessarily mean she’s on her period. It’s just that being human involves trying to express yourself.
2. “Go take some painkillers”
It’s crazy that people think that painkillers are the answer to all women’s pain problems. Before you start making this statement, take a minute to think about the situation.
3. “Do you need a tampon or something?”
Tampons are not a sign of weakness, and saying meaningless and idiotic things like this can make women feel weak.
4. “Cramps don’t hurt that bad”
She’ll ask you to never talk to her again, and then see how that works out for you both.
6. “So, since you’re on your period, blowjob week then?”
Bleeding vaginas and a woman going through her period do not correlate with your getting head. Asking this could actually have the opposite effect. You could treat her this week, instead.
7. “PMS isn’t real”
Women may use the same response when describing the pain that you experience when something goes wrong with your “boys”.
8. “Stop complaining”
Women bleed almost a week every month. They have the right to complain about it.
9. “Will some chocolate make you be nice?”
Instead of asking this, you could show your love and kindness by taking some time out of your schedule to do something nice for her.
10. “Are you ever going to change out of sweatpants?”
Let women who are on their period feel at ease, and don’t try to imply that they look untidy. Compliment them instead.
11. “Oh, now I know why you’ve been crabby the last couple of days”
Maybe it’s because you’re a cruel nitwit. Try to avoid labeling your behavior as merely “her period”.
12. “Gross”
If you continue to believe that periods are gross, then you might not be ready for a real relationship.
13. “Why are you crying?”
You may get an answer like, “I don’t know,” when you ask about this. Instead of trying to make her uncomfortable, offer her a shoulder.
14. “At least you’re not pregnant! That’s good, right?”
Even though it’s good, do you know what’s better? Never say it.
15. “You’re just using this as an excuse to be crabby”
Girls on their period don’t need to be made to feel like they’re crabby just because they’re not feeling well. They should be allowed to be themselves if they’re not feeling well.
16. “FYI, I’m not buying you tampons”
If you’re not mature enough to handle the idea of buying a box of tampons, then she’ll probably do better than you. Women could say the same thing about buying condoms.
17. “You’re being too sensitive”
Maybe you’re being a little insensitive?
18. “Just calm down”
This could be considered a dangerous phrase to use with women who have been through a lot, especially if they’re on their period. Don’t say it if you want to see them the following day.
19. “It’s only for a few days. That’s not so bad”
Don’t bring this up with a girl on her period. Women spend a lot of time going through periods, menopause, or being pregnant. Be grateful that all you have to worry about is your sperm count.
20. “I guess I’ll just talk to you in a few days then”
If you say this, you’re done. It’s over.
It’s time to treat her like a queen
After a while, you should start showing more empathy for women on their periods. They’re going through a tough time, and you should be nice to them.
During these days, try to be nice as pie. Show her that you care and do all the things that you should be doing instead.
Periods last only for a couple of days, so treat your girlfriend kindly and show her how much you care. They’ll remember how nice you were, and that’s a good thing in any relationship.
