Not everyone’s periods are the same – it’s not all about mood swings, binging on junk food, pain, crying, and giving dirty looks to loved ones. Luckily, we have figured out ways you can still have a happy period!

The first step is to use products that work for you. It is bad enough you have your period – you don’t want to worry about ruining your favourite pair of jeans as well! If you’re using the wrong tampons or pads, this can make your period more stressful than it needs to be.

On www.beinggirl.co.uk, take the survey to find the perfect tampon and/or pad for you. Using comfortable and stress-free period products will help your period be more enjoyable.

You have been granted one week to treat yourself like the princess you were born to be. Set aside one hour a day to do something to help you relax. Here are some ideas:
• Create a spa-like bubble bath in your own bathroom with your fave CD on.
• Why not try something artistic? It’ll take your mind of your cramps. Paint or make a collage…
• Exercise may not be the first thing on your mind but a nice walk through a park or around your block during the day can help.
• Last, but not least – if you feel like crying, CRY! You’ll feel rejuvenated afterwards.

Try writing down your feelings and you’ll feel a lot better!

When you have your period, you have a great excuse to do what you want. You CAN have a happy period!
