Birth Control: The affect it has on periods

Your period can be a dreadful thing that you do not look forward to every month. The pain, discomfort, and vulnerability (the list goes on) that is associated with menstruation can make it dreadful, and does a female look forward to menstruating? I personally never look forward to my period and every time I get it, I count down the days until it is finished. Not every woman may feel this way but more times than often if you ask a woman if she looks forward to getting her period, she will say no.

Preparing yourself for your period can help take away the dreadfulness and stress of menstruation and help you feel prepared. When you are feeling your best and you’re prepared for your period it can take away the feeling of “Ugh I am getting my period” and change it to “Okay I am getting my period and I am ready for it”. Though it still isn’t the most exciting time of the month preparing for it can make it almost feel that way.

Ways to Prepare for your period:

· Stock up on your favorite menstrual products:

Make sure you have the products that you need that will make you feel your best and work for all your menstrual needs. There is nothing worse than when you start your period, and you have no products to use. So, make sure you have the products that you will need to take care of all your menstrual needs.

Ava: Feminine Health and Hygiene, introduced by Stetho Health Systems, is a brand that offers menstrual products micro-encapsulated with hemp seed oil. Ava’s feminine hygiene products help reduce the pain and discomfort associated with menstruation allowing women and girls to show up every day as their best selves.

· Practice Self-Care:

When you feel your best, it is easy to tackle dreadful situations head on head-on. Practicing self-care allows you to feel relaxed and stress-free and allows you to find comfort when it comes to your period. Before your period starts take a bath, read a book, or take time for yourself. Whatever you love to do that brings you peace and helps you reduce stress do it. Some self-care practices such as taking a bath can even help reduce your pre-menstrual symptoms.

Self-care can make menstruation a little less hard and can help put you in a better mood when it comes to your period.

· Manage your pain:

When you’re in pain it can be hard to feel positive or in a good mindset. Finding ways to alleviate your menstrual pain and discomfort can help put you in a better mood and when you feel your best you can do anything you put your mind to. Exercise, taking a bath, and using a heating pad are some ways that can help reduce your menstrual pain.

Another way is with Ava’s feminine hygiene products. Ava’s products are naturally infused and micro-encapsulated with hemp seed oil which helps mitigate the pain and discomfort associated with menstruation.

In conclusion:

When you are prepared and feeling great it can make menstruation a little less dreadful. It is hard to be excited when it comes to menstruation due to the pain and discomforts associated with it but when you find ways to feel your best and alleviate the pain it can help you have a positive outlook on menstruation. Investing in great brands such as Ava: Feminine Health and Hygiene, practicing self-care and finding ways to manage your menstrual symptoms are all great ways to prepare yourself for menstruation.
