6 Ways To Make Her Feel Better While She's On Her Period.

Sometimes men have a hard time understanding what
a woman goes through during her "time of the
month", and therefore do not know what to do to
help her. Being a reasonable, considerate person all
the time ought to be everyone's goal. If you want to
give a woman or girl in your life some extra support whilst she is suffering a bad or heavy period, these
steps will guide you.

1. Make her feel good about herself.

Give her compliments. Say things that will make her
feel just as beautiful and intelligent when she's on her period as you find her the rest of the
time. This will help boost her confidence, if she
needs it, and may help a little with her mood
swings.

2.Help her out with things.

If she has any little chores or errands to do, help her out.
Take the stress off of her by doing the dishes or taking her things down to the laundry.
This will help lift some weight from her shoulders
and give her time to relax. Keep in mind she may
not just have little or chores. Women who work
for a living and run a family of kids and pets and
everything else have periods too and HAVE to cope. Be considerate.

3.Comfort her.

Have her sit down and give her a massage or give her a warm hug. Even
a comforting arm rub might make her feel better and will at least show you care.

4.Don't act disgusted.

Show her that you are not grossed out by the very thought of her
menstrual cycle (even if you are). If she tries to talk to you about it, do not make faces or say
'Go talk to one of your girlfriends". This will just
make her feel like you don't care. Another part of
this step is to man up if she needs some
"errands". Go get her the supplies she is out of,
(thinking of sanitary items as "girl stuff" is immature and unhelpful, tampons, etc.) and pick
her up some chocolate or her favorite magazine
while you are at it! It will make her feel like you
really care.

5.Make her feel loved and appreciated.

Let her know how happy you are to have her in
your life. Tell her she's a great friend, girlfriend, or wife. If she's at work or away from
you, call her cellphone, work phone or email
them and tell her how beautiful, sweet and all-
round awesome she is. It's not even describable
how nice it is for a person to do this. Don't go
over the top her if she's snappy and irritable from the mood swings.

6.Realize what woman goes through during her period.

Obviously men can't put themselves in the place of a woman and understand what it's like to have a menstrual
cycle, but they can try to understand what
symptoms they go through. Woman can get
terrible stomach cramps, which are never fun, and can range from a dull pain that simply annoys, to
a stabbing pain that practically paralyses a
woman. Women can get mood swings, they can
get headaches, restlessness, become extremely
tired or sleepy, become sore in their genital
regions, and their appetites can dramatically change. Symptoms will vary from woman to
woman and some women may not even have
symptoms at all! Women having a heavy period
may want to use the appropriate facilitates as
often as every couple of hours which is a drag
and can curtail trips out and about. Periods are just generally uncomfortable and the symptoms
that go along with it are never any fun. Hopefully
this will help give you an idea of what a woman
goes through during her menstrual cycle.
