The Struggle: Of being on your Period

The Struggle is really real when it comes to your period. There is so much you need to think and worry about. And no guy will ever understand the annoyance and pain of a period. Not to mention, period products are sometimes even marked as luxury products in some states in the US. RIDICULOUS! Having your period is absolutely not a luxury. There is so much money that goes into periods. Underwear, pads, tampons, panty liners, Advil, etc. All of that adds up and gets SUPER expensive. And along with that, there are wayyyy too many options. When you don't know what to buy, you might buy the wrong thing, too little, or too much.(which can't be a bad thing) But companies have a billion options of the same product. For example, tampons. You have cardboard applicator, plastic applicator, size light, regular, super, and extra super. And if you leave your tampon in for too long you have a risk of getting toxic shock syndrome. (So don't leave in your tampon for more than 8 hours maximum. Try to remove it or replace before then.) And the STAINS! Ugh! The most annoying thing on earth. You could be wearing your favorite underwear and not know your period is coming and then you go to the bathroom and SURPRISE! You've got your period and your favorite underwear is destroyed. Yes, periods do sometimes come unexpectedly. Check out my first post on the 7 days of period posting to learn how to prevent surprises. And don't even get me started with the horror of bleeding through. It's every girl's nightmare. And when it happens at school wearing light colored pants. That is just so unfortunate. *Your heavy day is usually on the second or third day so plan your outfits and "gear" accordingly* And then there is also acne that comes with your period too, and cramps, and mood swings, basically every guy's nightmare.

I know this post was pretty rant-y but the past 2 posts were pretty bad. Sorry, I am about to go on vacation for a week so there were lots of tests and quizzes. Come back tomorrow at 12:00pm EST for a new period post.
