My Period Story & Experience

Hey Guys!!

In today's post I want to talk about periods, yes, periods. This is a problem all girls face, so I wanted to share my period story. The way I got my period is actually a funny story to hear.

In India we celebrate a festival called Ganesh Chaturthi. Just like any other festival day, I woke up early, took a shower, got dressed and switched on my T.V, a few minutes later I really had to pee so I went to the bathroom when I looked down my underwear was red and my pee was red. That day I wasted a little less than half a tissue role to clean there. *facepalm* I yelled and called my mom and I told her I finally got my period and she called for some pads! 

THE END

I told you it was funny. I mean, come on, not many people get their first period on a festival! I guess I'm just unique :P

One more cool little thing about South Indian customs is that when a girl gets her first period, the family must give her money. That day I was totally rich :P

I was in 7th grade, 12 years old when I had my first period. Now, unlike many Indian parents my mom had already told me about periods when I was pretty young and because I already knew, I wasn't scared nor did I panic when I got my period. 

Unlike other girls, I don't have the problems of cramps, headache, body pains, etc. All I really experience with my periods is light acne and light back pain.  The brand I like to use is Whisper (in case you were wondering). 

Hygiene can be a big issue when you have periods, so cleaning you down there with soap is a must, otherwise you may be prone to many infections. Changing your pad/tampon frequently is also very important. 

I don't really know what else to say? If you have any questions, just comment! 

That's all for today. Take care and be well!
