How should you prepare for your period?

Answer 1

Knowledge is power - the more you know about menstruation, and the menstrual cycle along with your body at large, the easier menstruation is. Learning about what to expect, your options in menstrual products, and how to deal with issues like menstrual cramps is the best way to prepare.

Make sure you have supplies such as pads, tampons, menstrual cups, etc. and when away from home be sure to carry some with you along with anything else you might need such as disposable bags, tissues, hand wipes, and spare underwear. Also have painkillers and herbal tea to help with cramps if you get them, but know in future most people can prevent cramps.
