  1. I try not to really do anything differently; but I don’t beat myself up if I need to eat some chocolate or cut short a workout.

  2. I have recently switched to period underwear and it makes life so much easier! It also much better for the environment!

  3. I snuggle, sleep and snooze, eat lots of iron rich foods, stay away from alcohol, eat chocolate, have a cry, take some painkillers- then have a nap

  4. I like to just try and keep as comfortable as possible. I often have a nice, hot soak in the bath to help me relax too.

  5. I try to make sure I get extra sleep, I use period pants instead which help cramps, and I use a magnesium roller on my tummy! Most of all I try to give myself the kindness and care I’d give to my friends when they were feeling rough! Not always easy but we are all so hard on ourselves, it’s time to give ourselves a break.

  6. I don’t beat myself up about not being able to be as productive as usual, allowing myself to rest, have a hot shower or bath and get lots of sleep – early nights!

  8. I recently treated myself to some period pants and now regret it taking me so long! They are so much more comfortable than anything else
