How to deal with ur period at ur scool

It may be harder to keep track of your period at school. Here are some tips to deal with it at school. And don't worry! Every single woman has or has had to go through this so they will understand. Don't feel embarrassed.

Do This

1. 1
   Come to school all fresh and clean. You should have a clean pair of undies. Change your feminine product often enough to avoid smelling bad and to help, wear perfume.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Go to the bathroom every 3-4 hours. This way, you can check for leaks and change your feminine product if needed. If this is annoying, try wearing a high absorbency tampon so you can go through the whole school day, but remember that it is not so safe to use a tampon for more than 8 consistent hours. If you're not comfortable with a tampon, wear a pad but change it often as it could retain smell.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Don't sweat it! Every girl has to go through it sometime if she hasn't already. Chances are that some of the girls in your class have their periods and feel the same way.
   
   
   
4. 4
   Don't be embarrassed either. There is no reason to be embarrassed about your period. It is just a part of life and it happens. If you have a situation and need help, just ask your female teacher/ secretary/ nurse/ friend.
   
   
   
5. 5
   Always be prepared. If you don't know when your period is due then you should always carry some extra pads/ tampons in a small case in your backpack/ locker/ purse. You never know! You don't want to be surprised with a big red stain on your pants. If you suffer from cramps, you should carry a mini sized Tylenol, Advil, Midol, etc.
   
   
   
6. 6
   If you don't like tampons and pads, like for sports and long term activities, you might want to try the diva cup. It is a reusable cup that is like a tampon and won't leak if you have it in right. The cup can last up to 12 hours before you need to change it.
   
   
   
7. 7
   Use Period Panties meant for periods. Regular panties do not serve the purpose. Adira Period Panties are Leak-proof and Breathable, so no bad odor. Also you can use one of the "EVE" products to keep odor away.
   
   
   

Tips

• Put a stash in your bag and just bring your bag with you in between classes so you look like you want to save yourself a trip to your locker or something and once in a stall, just take your feminine product out of your bag.
• If you have heavy periods or you're not too sure at the moment, then buy super absorbent pads/ tampons to avoid any discomfort or leaks.
• Keep an extra pair of underwear if you have an emergency at school and need to change right away.
• Many stores sell spandex boyshorts. You can wear them over regular underwear if you want.
• If you are worried about gym shorts in PE being too loose and your pad flying out, especially in humid climates, wear bike shorts or spandex shorts. Or the best option tracksuit bottoms!
• If you're using a tampon, also wear a pad or pantyliner to prevent leaks.
• Try to wear something dark so that if you do leak a little on your clothes, it's not as noticeable as if you wore white or tan.
• If you are embarrassed about bringing your purse or bag with you to the bathroom, you can stick a pad or tampon in your boot or bra.
• At the moment, if you don't have a pad, use folded toilet paper or tissues until you make your way down to the office, nurse's room, or gym teacher's room to get one. Schools always supply pads.
• Bring an extra pair of dark shorts in your backpack just in case or some Tide to Go.
• Even if you forget your "supplies" ask a friend.
• Getting your period can be very stressful! Just ask your mom about it and she'll know exactly what to do.
• Go to your school's medical room and ask for a sanitary towel or tampon, which they should supply.
• Don't let your period get in the way of your day. School can still be fun even when you are menstruating!

Warning

• Be clean! When you come out of the bathroom, make sure you left clean and tidy and not messy.
• Remember to never spray perfume on your pads and/or tampons before use and never spray perfume around your vagina. It could irritate your genitals.
• You can also wear shorts under your jeans in addition to your underwear. It really helps if you have a heavy flow and you are worried about leaking.
• If you leave a tampon in too long, you could develop TSS, which is a rare but deadly disease. Make sure you change your tampon every 3-4 hours to be safe. Read the instructions on your tampon packaging to be fully aware of the risks.
• Have a bath twice a day to stay fresh and clean--in the morning and evening. Also use perfume to help with scent but bathing or showering is necessary.
• Change your pad every 2-4 hours; or your tampon every 3-4 hours.
