Things That Are Perfect For That Time Of The Month

We all have our differences, but the one thing I'm pretty sure everyone in the world with a uterus probably agrees on is this: periods suck. Whether it's the cramps akin to the sensation of being stabbed in the gut, the backaches that make you wonder if you're actually 72 years old, or the bloating that makes your pants feel uncomfortably tight, something is always giving you grief. Here are a few things I found that could definitely improve the situation:


1. A back-massaging bed rest:

You read that right, this thing massages your aching back, and you can even enjoy a nice cup of coffee, tea, etc. thanks to the handy cup holder. I have a similar one in beige, and let me tell you, it's like magic.

2. A heated blanket:

I don't know about you, but my body temp gets all out of wack when I'm on my period. If you also tend to freeze your buns off during Aunt Flo's visit, this can easily (and comfortably) mend the issue.

3. A subscription for the Monthly Period Treat Box:

These babies come with snacks, meds, teas, and more. Create your own package for $15 here: https://theperiodstore.com/?gclid=CM3llJH7u9ICFQhW...


4. This punny pad/tampon bag:

Indeed it is, bag, indeed it is.

5. A roomy onesie:

Some might find the onesie craze childish, but seriously, there's nothing more comfy and breathable than one of these fantastic garments. Who likes to feel restricted with all that bloating going on?


6. A pair of badass period panties:


The best thing about these? They're actually cute! Plus, they're busy and brightly colored, so if anything happens to accidentally make its way onto the fabric, no one will ever know! Find more of these cheeky panties here: https://www.harebraineddesign.com/


7. Know a youngin' you suspect is about due to start their first period? Or maybe one who just recently has? Look into a period starter pack:

Sometimes a nice little goodie bag like this one can help ease an uncomfortable tween into their new life of monthly visits. Order the HelloFlo kit here: https://shop.helloflo.com/products/period-starter-...

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
