Got your period? Don't hide, get out there!
Having your period is never much fun, with symptoms like nausea, headaches, & bloating. But there's no reason to hide in bed all week long (even though a little extra rest can be beneficial during menstruation) …
Here are some positive reasons to get motivated and ways to feel confident, even when you're feeling blah.
With Carefree® Flexia® tampons, embarrassing leaks are a thing of the past.
These clever tampons are the first and only tampon designed with unique Softfolds® flexible wings that catch the fluid other tampons may miss*. So to help boost your period-week confidence, make sure you keep a pack of Carefree® Flexia® tampons in your handbag.
Then you can step out the door with confidence, wearing whatever you choose – white pants, swimmers, a mini-skirt, slinky evening dress … there’s no need to limit your fashion choices just because you’re menstruating!
Periods are a totally normal part of every woman’s life – so don’t let it get in the way of you having a good time!
Most of us will have hundreds of periods during our lifetime, so staying home when you’ve got your period could add up to missing out on lots of fun times over the years! Instead of letting your period rule your life, why not plan some fun activities to help boost your mood.
Plus, if you tend to get a little emotional in your period week, isn’t it better to be in the company of friends, out having a good time, than moping alone on the couch? Of course it is!
Getting a little gentle exercise can help ease cramping.
There’s no reason why you can’t keep on with your usual exercise routine when you’ve got your period. In fact, doing physical activity can help to improve blood flow, which in turn can alleviate menstrual cramps.
So during period week, plan to go for a couple of brisk walks on the treadmill, or head to your local pool to do a lap or two – your body will thank you for it in so many ways, physically and mentally.
