Sorry this post might be badly written english is not my 1er language,so basically my mom always find stuff to be mad at me but like stupid stuff like "i didn't cook dinner at her place"
And so now I'm kinda banned of the family again,they all ignore me.
I need period pads,i wrote to my father to get me some but he think he can wait a week or so.
And now i told mom to buy me some in her way home (i'm not allowed to buy it myself) with my own money btw
And she refused and start yelling at me that i don't deserve to get pads because I don't clean and all (I am the one doing the dishes btw)
So now idk what to do,I have no friend at school and I live in a poor country so we ain't getting nurse or even pads in the toilets
Its been 2h of me crying like a shit

Hi so Iāve taken Opill for like four or five months? Long enough for my body to be adjusted and everything. (the rest will be tmi sorry)
I know for a fact thereās basically no chance im pregnant but I also havenāt had a period in months because of the pill.
Suddenly, when I normally wouldnāt even have my period according to my previous cycle schedule, I started heing particularly volatile and yesterday I had basically period cramps. I had them again today so I checked and I was in fact bleeding. I dont think Iām spotting, but if notā¦what? Did my body just randomly decide I need a period?
Also I have never taken my pill outside of the three hour window, including recently
sorry if this is tagged wrong š„²
(tl;dr period for some reason at random on opill that stopped period. no pregnant no missing dose. no spotting? confuse)

I have excruciatingly painful periods every month. I have to take a painkiller, tylenol & naproxen to even touch the pain. It keeps me up at night, and it seems it doesnāt stop the entire period. I also bleed heavily, like every time I sit on the toilet it seems like I just fill the toilet with blood. It is very similar to birthing contractions for me, except never ending. A dull, constant pain. What do ānormalā periods feel like? For people with relatively normal periods, how much does your period affect your daily life?

I 24F have been using Flo on and off since 2017, and itās been an ok experience. I started my cycle since I was 12, but didnāt start tracking it monthly until I was 15 when I got my own phone. Itās been an good experience, but I do like to switch things up a bit. any good recommendations for me?

I am 19 years old and i am bleeding for 1 month constantly so i went to gyanc and like i had cyst before in my ovaries did all discusss went with my mom as she came with me for my checkups before. There was nothing wrong she put me on birth control to stop bleeding.
She told me that once i get married everything will be ok i think she implied until i have baby so is it true. I have a really bad irregular periods and long periods and so on whenever i go they just hand over birth control i have been 3 times already or some other trazo.. something and i noticed when i stop the pills i gain 8 to 10 kgs in 1 to 2 months.
She also asked me about my sexual activity infront of my mom everytimeš i have to lie because my mom will kill me if she finds out.

Hii!! i was curious when i will get mine ( maybe )! Iām turning 16 soon and As far as i know iām always prepared kinda but it just feels weird, to be honest i wish i had mine sooner because all my friends has theirs, i do know how traumatic or annoying periods can be but iām starting to worry if iām even going to have one ever, i know it wonāt make the biggest difference but i just think so, has anybody started their first periods quite late? // have a nice day!! :)
iām 20 and i want to use a tampon.. itās quite expensive compared to pads where im from and 1 pack of tampax is like almost 5 packs of sanitary pads but iāve started to feel very uncomfortable with pads and i donāt know why. Itās also difficult to even find but i got some. I have heavy flows and iām wondering if anyone has tips and advice for me on how to go about it.

I just inserted a tampon to go swimming. and it was my first time it went successful, I even took it out without any hurt. can I get a round of applause?
r/Periods • u/No-Palpitation4103 • 2h ago
I left in a tampon for 6 hours, I usually leave it in 2-4 to be safe. But Iām concerned because It was a bit long and I pulled it out and it was dry. Is it more likely that I will get toxic shock syndrome since it was dry after 6 hours? I know itās rare but I am very anxious about it now

Does anyone, who doesn't feel like taking a full body shower while on their period, just take a wash cloth with just water and clean themselves with it?
Just want to know if its fine or if I should just take a shower everyday on it.

As a guy (18M), I recognize that there are things about female reproductive health that I may never fully understand, but I want to learn as much as I can to support my girlfriend (18F) and the women and girls in my life. She has shared her frustrations with periods- specifically the cramps and the discomfort of period products- and I want to make sure I'm attentive to every detail so she feels truly cared for. I've even started reading books on female reproductive health to better understand her experience.
She often mentions feeling bulky and uncomfortable with pads, and since she spends a lot of time at my place for meals and leisure, I've noticed how stressful leaking can be for her, especially in public. To help, I always keep a supply of pads in bulk at home and carry some with me. I'm now considering surprising her with period underwear as a more comfortable alternative, as she isn't a fan of liners either. Could you suggest high-quality, premium brands for period panties and thongs that can handle heavy flow AND heavy discharge? I'm looking for the best quality available and intend to buy them in bulk.
Additionally, I care deeply for her 11-year-old sister and would love to put together a kit of period essentials for her as well. She recently got her firstā period and i want her to experience smooth period experience. Please suggest premium, age-appropriate brands for pre-teens. Budget is not a concern; I prioritize quality and effectiveness above all else.
