Great video! And while it is so important for girls & young women to have this info, it’s also *crucial* that boys & young men learn about the menstruation process & what girls/women are going through. I have a 16 year old son & 12yo nephew (both ballet dancers!!) and I talk openly & honestly with both of them about menstruation & all that goes with it. They are both likely going to spend their lives with a partner who goes through this every month, and they should absolutely understand the process. My 16yo is not embarrassed or ashamed when the girls he dances with talk about their periods. The girls also know that if they need someone to bring them something or go buy them something or whatever, they can trust Clarke to do that for them, without any sort of awkwardness. He is kind & understanding & treats it all like what it is- just a part of life. I encourage everyone who reads this who has boys or young men in their lives to really teach their boys this info & help them be the supportive partners that their future girlfriend/wife/DAUGHTER will need regarding this topic. 😎

I had my stupid period for every pool party and every beach vacation of my teenage years, so I wish I'd had an "Ellen" to tell me about tampons! You were so lucky! 💕 If someone is new to tampons, try different brands, because for years I defaulted to Tam_ax - can I say that? Then I realized why I hated them, because they expand lengthwise (!), making them so, so uncomfortable. The Pearl ones are better, and the Pla_tex brand is good. Thanks for talking about this , Claudia. My mom actually never told me I was going to get a period. Really. When I got it I was terrified, and at first I thought I'd be bleeding EVERY DAY for the rest of my life! I'm just saying this in case there's another young girl out there with a super-shy mom who can't talk about this stuff. I'm glad you're doing it.

For those who do not eat meat, make sure you’re getting lots of leafy greens into your diet, and focus on eating iron-rich foods. You can also increase the amount of foods you eat that have vitamin C in them to assist your body in absorbing the extra iron you’re consuming. If you’re feeling lethargic often when you’re on your period, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about including an iron supplement in your daily routine. And as always, stay hydrated! Ensuring you have enough fluid will help to reduce the severity of your cramping and headaches. 💜

I just had a back up pair in my bag for the first couple of months for peace of mind. You should feel comfortable, always xo

I found that Ibuprofen helped with very painful cramps. The combination of a tampon and a light flow pad was not too bulky and reduced the risk of leaks. Of course, I am now too old for “that time of the month.” Stick on pads were not available when I started. Just the “belt” and cardboard tampons. Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen were not available, either. The more “modern” products are much more comfortable.
@Veronensis4 жыл бұрын
my best tip for periods: use a menstrual cup! I can't recommend these things highly enough. You can wear them way longer than tampons. (up to 12 hours!) I have way less cramps, They are more comfortable. Especially when you want to wear something "just in case". With tampons, if I wore one just in case and had to pull it out dry, it would be very uncomfortable. With cups, it's not uncomfortable at all if you wear one just to make sure. I think that is especially helpful for performances and stuff like that. sidenote: there is a bit of a learning curve with cups. I recommend first using it at home, and changing to a tampon when you go out, just until you really get the hang of it. The first time I used one I put it in wrong and went to a party, and I leaked a lot... Give yourself some time to get used to them. that might take 2 or 3 periods until you're completely comfortable with them. Oh, and if you're young/a virgin: putting them in with some lube will help a lot.

Definitely speak to your GP about contraception options. There are plenty of options like injections, implants and IUDs with varying effects on your period. Just remember that they affect everyone differently, so what works well for your friends might not work for you. It can also take a bit of time to figure out what works best for you. If you are experiencing ongoing and severe period pain (ie unbearable not just cramps) please speak to your GP and make sure they take you seriously.

We‘re allowed to wear underwear in class, so I use period panties. My brain doesn’t like the idea of tampons or menstrual cups - I don’t know why. Before I had pads but that wasn’t really the thing for class because it felt gross when I was sweating. The panties might seem quite expensive at first but they should be wearable for about five years so it is actually cheaper than tampons, pads etc. Anyways, with the panties I feel more secure and I haven’t got a too heavy flow (it isn’t too light either), I only have to change them after 12-15 hours. I think those period panties are a good alternative for those who don’t like tampons or menstrual cups, so I encourage to try them

I got my first Period at 16 also. We were a bit later than most of our classmates! You're right - it comes at the right time for YOU. Probably most Girls have slightly irregular Periods for the first couple of years, while we're still growing and maturing. Good Nutrition is ALWAYS important but especially around the Period, you probably need more Iron and Protein. I'm not much of a Carnivore but always craved Steak and Spinach a few days before the Period - and my Doctor advised eating Beef Liver (couldn't stand it!). Always remember - CHOCOLATE HELPS!

But as a vegetarian that's difficult. My Chinese friend told me that they drink black goji tea, and it actually really helps. I put 10 of them in a mug and add boiling water. For me one mug a day is already enough. It really helped me to keep up on that days even when I felt a bit tired before.

Kathryn Morgan, in her video about periods, suggested also wearing two pairs of tights when you have your period.

I use reusable period products. I can't imagine dancing and wearing them. (a cup would work). Menstrual underwear would be okay maybe. Pads probably not, you would maybe see it through the tights/leo

I was the same as you about not taking pain relief for many years. One of the best things I ever did was to start taking ibuprofen for my bad cramps which only happen on the first day for me. I don’t know why I tortured myself for so long by not taking anything. Before, I would struggle to get out of bed whereas now I can be (somewhat) functional. Btw if you do need pain relief, ibuprofen and aspirin can inhibit the hormone that causes cramps (prostaglandin) so I would recommend either of those. Paracetamol doesn’t have the same effect.

I think it depends on the person, paracetamol works really well for me :)
@weonlyusepencil4 жыл бұрын
@Nausicaa True! It can definitely depend on the person too, based off lots of different factors (genetics, etc). I’m glad you found something that works for you :)

As for performance on stage and having your period, you may be paranoid (that’s normal) but unless you’re 4 hours on stage without a break, I recommend you go change your tampon often, and I personally used a very thin liner in a thong for those occasions that demanded it. Honestly though, the times you will be on your heaviest day, on stage for a long time or with multiple quick change will be rare, so don’t fret too much... after a few tries, you’ll be fine.

Oh shout out to self isolated people! Definitely buy reusable pads or menstral cups and see if you get along with them! No worrying about embarrassing public moments (which have never actually happened for me!) and a lot of shops have run out around me. I would visit RedHerring and PreciousStars' KZfaq channels (and especially their playlists) to help choose the right products for you! :) Bryony the owner of PreciousStars in I think in her early 20s and has many videos from being younger and is also a competitive dancer and has reviewed the look of cloth pads in leotards! :)

You could try a heating pad? And extra stretches for the hamstrings and low back - those help me. You could do them after you're already warmed up by the heating pad... Hope you find relief! 💕

Great video, but hey let me tell you you should try MENSTRUAL CUP. I tried it few months ago and I am absolutely in love with it. You can move freely there i no leakage and most of the time I don't even know I have it! Plus tampons are really bad and can be dangerous because the chemicals they contain. So give it a try when you find the right size of cup it is absolute magic!

It says it lasts for 12 hours but doesn't work on me though. It'll overflow 😅 and it's tightly suctioned. I have to empty is every hour or so. I gave up and changed to disposable period panties for the first three days. Then following a cup for the remaining days
@MsBaruschka4 жыл бұрын
@@pinkcotton94 oh no it doesn't last tht long and it shouldn't be. You need to empty it every 4-5 hours... except overnight I have it all night and it is okay. It depends on the size really. Some people need bigger because they bleed a lot but not too big because it has to fit perfectly. I chose mine from Aliexpress first, it was really cheap and smelled funny but I just wanted to know size so I tried it that way, they have different sizes, but I ordered original in my country because it is made of really quality material. It is from company called Maluna, they have lot of options. So yeah it is about finding the one, but sure lot of things can work!

@@pinkcotton94 hahah I mean the size is tricky. If it's too small it will overflow and if it's too big it might not open completely. So yeah idk I really was lucky to chose right one first time. I have Maluna M standart softness but if you are working out a lot or dancing you might need sport. It is a bit more firm. And uhm yeah I am happy, some say it is hard to get it to open because Maluna is different material it is not silicone, but I figured a little trick. You have to let it open a bit right in "the front" of your... favourite organ 😂 and then push it a bit deeper so it completely opens. Idk but maybe you do have right size mine was leaking too first few times because I had to figure proper way of inserting so maybe it is your case too. But yeah hha I was scared of the big one too but they are not THAT big, I saw them all sizes in the shop and the difference is small. But if you want try again the one you have maybe it is really good but it doesn't open because of the inserting...
