Vacationing on your Period.
The struggle is so real
Most menstruators have faced the terrors of vacationing on their period and there is to escaping the struggles of menstruating during summer season’s boiling weather. It can be frustrating checking your timeline and realizing your special events line up with your menstrual cycle. Here are some relatable problems menstruators deal with while vacationing:
- Bleeding through your bathing suits
At least when you bleed through your underwear you have another layer of clothing to block the flow, but not anymore! Can my period take a vacation?
2. Swimming
Some menstruators use tampons, some don’t, but pads aren’t waterproof. Menstruators who only wear pads are going to have to skip out on swimming. In addition, the constant fear of bleeding in the pool can stop us from enjoying ourselves.
3. Cramps
Cramps in general are always terrible, but when you get them on your vacation, they’re so much worse. It’s normal to sit around when you have cramps at home, but on vacation you’re supposed to relax, have fun, and make memories! But instead, you have a power-drill on your uterus.
4. Being your amazing self!
Don’t let these struggles stop you from having fun on your well-deserved vacation! Menstruators are strong enough to push past their period struggles and do what they want! #dontcrampmystyle
