Don’t wear your favorite clothes around the dates your menstrual cycle is due.
Don’t wait too long to change your pad or tampon.
For cramps, try disposable heating pads that stick to your skin under your clothes. You can find them at a drugstore.
Get moving! Your body releases endorphins which help with your moods and cramps.
Use a dark towel on your bed to protect your sheets.
Avoid swimming during your heaviest flow.
Plan for your menstrual cycle. Look at your calendar/period schedule and plan for extra clothes and period supplies.
Follow the recommendations of your hematologist.
Keep a small bag with extra pads or tampons and an extra pair of underwear in your locker or car.
Keep a sweatshirt or sweater in your locker or car. You can use it to wrap around your waist (in case you bleed through your clothes).
Keep an extra pair of pants in your locker or car.
Speak to your school nurse and your parents or guardian to make arrangements to be able to use the restroom as needed during your menstrual cycle.
