Know when to expect your period[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]It\u2019s likely that your period might not be regular yet, but even so, it\u2019s helpful to start tracking it, so you know roughly when to expect it. This means you can take precautions, such as wearing a pad<\/a> the week you\u2019re expecting to get your period, just in case it arrives early. It can also help to familiarize yourself with menstruation signs, such as cramping and bloating.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_text_color=”#75c043″ text_font_size=”27px” custom_margin=”||12px||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”font-weight:normal;”]6. Ask for help if needed[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]If you find yourself on your period at school with no supplies in hand, then you shouldn\u2019t feel embarrassed to go to your friends or female teachers. Bear in mind that if your teacher is above the age of 45-50, she may have gone through the menopause<\/span> and therefore might not have sanitary products on her.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.0.11″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_text_color=”#75c043″ text_font_size=”27px” custom_margin=”||12px||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”font-weight:normal;”]7.

Remain calm[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]You might be on your school break or out playing basketball during a gym session, when you suddenly realize that your period has arrived. It\u2019s ok \u2013 the key is not to panic. Go straight to your school nurse or teacher and ask to be excused. If you change your clothing, you can just tell your classmates that you spilled something on yourself. There\u2019s no need to share details if you don\u2019t want to.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#75c043″ text_font_size=”27px” custom_margin=”||12px||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”font-weight:normal;”]9. Ways to feel better[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.11″]Period pain at school can be a real struggle. If you know your period is on its way, it can help to have a pain reliever with you to take for menstrual cramps. If you suffer from PMS, pack yourself a bar of chocolate as well. Some studies show that this can go a long way towards improving mood and emotional stability on a bad day.\nIn the end, it\u2019s important to remember that there\u2019s no shame in experiencing a period leak, even if it feels terribly embarrassing at the time. Menstruation is normal, it\u2019s part of women\u2019s lives and it shows that we\u2019re healthy and that our reproductive systems are functioning as they should.\n\nIf you do get a period leak, do what you can to deal with the situation, then move on. You\u2019ve got much more important things to be getting on with \u2013 like discovering your sense of self and crushing the patriarchy. Periods are but a blip on the horizon.<\/span>\n\nKnixteen have specifically created a range of teen period underwear<\/a> designed to make periods (a bit more) easy and breezy.

Bringing a sweatshirt to wrap around your waist is also a good idea![\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_text_color=\"#75c043\" text_font_size=\"27px\" custom_margin=\"||12px||false|false\" custom_css_main_element=\"font-weight:normal;\"]\n\n5. Know when to expect your period\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]It\u2019s likely that your period might not be regular yet, but even so, it\u2019s helpful to start tracking it, so you know roughly when to expect it. This means you can take precautions, such as wearing a pad<\/a> the week you\u2019re expecting to get your period, just in case it arrives early. It can also help to familiarize yourself with menstruation signs, such as cramping and bloating.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_text_color=\"#75c043\" text_font_size=\"27px\" custom_margin=\"||12px||false|false\" custom_css_main_element=\"font-weight:normal;\"]6. Ask for help if needed[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]If you find yourself on your period at school with no supplies in hand, then you shouldn\u2019t feel embarrassed to go to your friends or female teachers. Bear in mind that if your teacher is above the age of 45-50, she may have gone through the menopause<\/span> and therefore might not have sanitary products on her.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][et_pb_column_inner type=\"1_2\" saved_specialty_column_type=\"2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_text_color=\"#75c043\" text_font_size=\"27px\" custom_margin=\"||12px||false|false\" custom_css_main_element=\"font-weight:normal;\"]7. Wear leakproof underwear[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]If you know your period\u2019s coming, then as well as pads and tampons<\/a>, you can wear leakproof underwear. Knixteen<\/a> produces \u2018oh-no\u2019 proof period underwear for teens, which holds the equivalent of 2 tampons\u2019 worth of liquid to give you a bit of extra peace of mind for those heavy flow days.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=\"1_2\" saved_specialty_column_type=\"2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Knixteen.jpg\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"0px||||false|false\"][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=\"2_3\" _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_font=\"||||||||\" text_text_color=\"#75c043\" text_font_size=\"27px\" custom_margin=\"||12px||false|false\" custom_css_main_element=\"font-weight:normal;\"]8. Remain calm[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]You might be on your school break or out playing basketball during a gym session, when you suddenly realize that your period has arrived. It\u2019s ok \u2013 the key is not to panic. Go straight to your school nurse or teacher and ask to be excused. If you change your clothing, you can just tell your classmates that you spilled something on yourself. There\u2019s no need to share details if you don\u2019t want to.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_font=\"||||||||\" text_text_color=\"#75c043\" text_font_size=\"27px\" custom_margin=\"||12px||false|false\" custom_css_main_element=\"font-weight:normal;\"]9. Ways to feel better[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\"]\n\nPeriod pain at school can be a real struggle. If you know your period is on its way, it can help to have a pain reliever with you to take for menstrual cramps. If you suffer from PMS, pack yourself a bar of chocolate as well. Some studies show that this can go a long way towards improving mood and emotional stability on a bad day.\nIn the end, it\u2019s important to remember that there\u2019s no shame in experiencing a period leak, even if it feels terribly embarrassing at the time. Menstruation is normal, it\u2019s part of women\u2019s lives and it shows that we\u2019re healthy and that our reproductive systems are functioning as they should.\n\nIf you do get a period leak, do what you can to deal with the situation, then move on. You\u2019ve got much more important things to be getting on with \u2013 like discovering your sense of self and crushing the patriarchy. Periods are but a blip on the horizon.<\/span>\n\nKnixteen have specifically created a range of teen period underwear<\/a> designed to make periods (a bit more) easy and breezy. Because having your period shouldn\u2019t be THAT stressful.<\/em>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\" _builder_version=\"3.25\" custom_padding=\"|||\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.0.11\" text_font=\"|800||||||#ffffff|\" text_text_color=\"#ffffff\" text_line_height=\"1.8em\" header_text_color=\"#ec2288\" background_color=\"#404040\" custom_margin=\"0px||0px|\" custom_margin_tablet=\"\" custom_margin_phone=\"\" custom_margin_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" custom_padding=\"|||10px|false|false\" border_width_all=\"9px\" border_color_all=\"#404040\" text_text_align=\"center\"] RELATED RESOURCES<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=\"QUIZ: ARE YOU A PERIOD PRO?\" url=\"https:\/\/bepreparedperiod.outgrow.us\/are-you-a-period-pro\" url_new_window=\"on\" image=\"https:\/\/www.bepreparedperiod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ARE-YOU-A-PERIOD-PRO-QUIZ.jpg\" _builder_version=\"3.15\" header_text_color=\"#ec2288\" background_color=\"#404040\" background_layout=\"dark\" custom_margin=\"0px||0px|\" custom_margin_tablet=\"\" custom_margin_phone=\"\" custom_margin_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" border_width_all=\"20px\" border_color_all=\"#404040\"]Whether you\u2019ve just gotten your period, or you\u2019ve been menstruating for a while, there\u2019s a lot to learn about your body.
