I've noticed that when I do yoga regularly and especially during my period, the pain is so minimal.

Even tho I’m a guy, I think this is an interesting video. I’m gonna tell my mom about these tips. I grew up with my mom and sister only so i kinda now what happens during those days.

Changing your mindset around bleeding and taking it as an opportunity to tap into your internal needs and love yourself more deeply makes everything so much better. I find I now enjoy my blood cycle, whereas I used to despise it, just because I changed my thinking. It doesn't have to be something I just "deal with", it can be something I get to experience:)

I am almost at my period not at it yet just planning ahead this really helped thank you

So I’m m gonna tell you about my first period (having my first period right now) I had a sleepover with one of my friends the night before we slept at her house and I couldn’t sleep because I’m was having REALLY BAD back pains. Then the next night she slept over at my house I went for a shower and I saw brownish discharge (wasn’t discharge it was my period) and I just brushed it off like nothing happened. The next day we went to a trampoline park and as you would do I was jumping and then I went to the bathroom like 6 times in 1 hour (we were there for 2 hours so went to the bathroom like 12 times) she asked me 4 times are you ok and I said yeah but I should of said no it’s think I’ve started my period. Then we went to drop her off and yeah of course we had to get every red light!! I was wearing a panty liner so yeah I thought I leaked on my mums car but I didn’t (thank god) then the next day I told her over text and she’s ok with it😃 also it’s holidays to so that’s good😂 so that’s my first period story

menstrual cups are theworlds most underrated product. it CHANGED my life. I talk about it to everyone to try to get them to convert hahaha

[annawolska]

A thing that has personnaly drastically reduced my menstrual pain (almost eliminated it) is not eating dairy during the second half of my cycle (the 2 weeks before my period). I know there are different causes for the pain but maybe this will help someone ! ;)
Also, an other healthy and environmental-friendly alterative to the cup are washable pads, if you prefer not to put anything into your body.

That silicone thing is quite interesting- I wanna try but I’m kinda scared to put it in. Eek! 😭

[kaitlinreichenbach]

Thank you for talking about this :) Natural methods for helping with your period are often ignored but they are actually so legit!

[savannahgough]

Yay for acknowledging women have periods! Love this video and the natural remedies ❤

10 tips and the cup is a quarter of the time 😂 I ain’t mad tho, it DEFINITELY deserves that space

[michellem-ep]

You dropping popcorn and going hmm whatever is a mood. I totally relate during that time of the month. 😂

Nicole, try Doterra clarycalm oil blend. It's a monthly blend for women. It's amazing stuff. Works less then in 5 min to take pain away. In my first day of period I had to laid down all day, but my life changed after I started using Doterra blend.

I recommend listening to Dr.Mariza Snyders podcast called Essentially You. She talks all about hormonal health. It wasn't until I started dealing with hormonal imbalances that I realized how important hormonal health is and how it affects our day to day life!

Thank God I finally got my hysterectomy at age 40. I lived with the worse periods since 12. Ugh. I had endometriosis severely. Bless your heart and prayers for all.. Sending hugs and love from Kentucky. 😍😘

Love my diva cup! There's definitely a learning curve but it's so worth it!

[brennap]

I love my period cup! It is seriously so amazing. No waste and so much more comfortable than tampons and pads. I've been using mine for years and I would never go back.

[AnaLauraEsthetics]

My period only lasts 4 days but that first day oh boy ! It is so painful 😣
I took birth control for about 6 years and ever since i stopped 3 yrs ago i get the worse cramps 😞
But i also understand that periods are extremely important and good for you so instead of focusing in the pain i take care of my self and give thanks for being able to have a healthy cycle.
Tip: use a heating pad on your lower back instead of your pelvic area, it makes a huge difference!
Also “Tapping therapy” theres a bunch on videos on YT on how to do it but it really helps 💜

I love this video, but just he aware some studies gave shown you can still get toxic shock syndrome from cups, so users should still be aware of this x
