Tips for boys on their period

1. Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess
2. To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//
3. Don’t beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you’re body is doing something, but that’s okay, it’s not your fault and it doesn’t make you less valid!
4. If your cheast starts to hurt, don’t bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it’s that time of the month, listen to your body, don’t push yourself!
5. Treat yourself to some chocolate!
6. Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!
7. Advil! I use it when my cramps get bad, sometimes I get headaches and it helps with that too! Don’t take more than six though!
8. Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon
9. Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!
10. Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good
11. Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum
12. Don’t eat super greasy foods, it can make your skin break you even more! And there are already so many hormones making your skin do crazy thing you don’t want it to get worse! Also it can make cramps worse
13. Most of all listen to your body, don’t push yourself, and try to forgive it, it’s confused and doesn’t know that it shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing
