I like to help women know how to take care of themselves. It is in my nature to help others. This has all of my tips and tricks for helping women with their periods.

1. Get enough calcium intake: Drink milk, take a supplement in order to get the necessary items required. I have realized over the years that having enough calcium in your diet helps ease period cramps. It also helps prevent osteoarthritis in your older age which is common in women as they get older.
2. Collection methods: There are more than just Pads and Tampons at your disposal. There are Tampons and Pads (Vary sizes depending on flow), Diva Cups (Size depends on age), organic types of blood collection methods like sea sponge tampons, reusable cloth pads
3. Knixwear: Whether you’re 12 and just got your period or you 45 and have had it for years. They have something for you if you’re a teen, they have knixteen or if you’re in your 20’s or 30’s knixwear. The good thing about Knixteen is that it is designed to help prevent embarrassing leaks. Has odor crushing technology. As well as having lycra material which wicks away moisture and dries quickly.
4. Heat pad: Heats always helps my cramps. If I get chills at all, I get period cramps. So, if you get cramps, go ahead and get out that heating pad. I always make sure to have a jacket with me as well.
5. Take painkiller: painkiller lasts for a very long time. It soothes the pain.
6. Have a snack: Make sure it kind of healthy. I like grapes, strawberries, etc
