It’s that time of the month when all hell breaks loose. Most of us know our menstrual calendar well, yet we often find ourselves being caught unaware when it arrives unannounced. The very thought of periods makes you uneasy. More so, if you are one of those experiencing heavy flow accompanied by severe cramps. The entire cycle seems like an ordeal, and the least us girls expect is a little bit of empathy from others. And if it’s your boyfriend, it’s a little more than just that.
Here are things that every girl expects from her guy during her period.
1. Understanding
We totally agree that you guys are clueless about the mood swings, pain, and discomfort that come with periods. But it would be nice if you can be sensible and show some empathy and not make fun of me when I am complaining of menstrual cramps.
2. A Soothing Rub
When you are on your period, nothing is more comforting than a hot shower and a nice massage. What can be better than a gentle massage on the back from your boyfriend?
3. Buy Sanitary Napkins
All you want to do during your periods is cuddle up and sleep. So, stepping out to buy pads would be the last thing on your mind. If you can be kind enough to pick them up for me, I’ll thank my stars for finding such a gem for myself.
4. Fun Talk
Anything that can divert my attention from the physical discomfort is welcome. So, if you can make me laugh with a few silly jokes or watch my favorite film with me, it would be a welcome change.
5. Take Me Seriously
Like I mentioned at the beginning of this article, it may be wrong to expect much from a person who hasn’t gone through what I do. You have no choice but to accept my insane (and, at times, irrational) behavior during that time. You may not really get it when I talk of how the hormones are wreaking havoc on my body, but just be courteous and take my word for it.
6. Pamper Me
Yes, I am health conscious and dig into only the right foods for most part of the month. But, during my period, the craving is such that nothing can stop me from having that can of coke with French fries or a cheesy pizza. So, pamper me for once. If you don’t want me to eat junk, why not whip up my favorite dish? And yeah, here’s your chance to show off your culinary skills.
7. Lend A Helping Hand
Working during my periods is painful as it causes exertion too soon. So, any kind of help with household chores is a huge relief.
8. Chocolates
The four days of the monthly cycle are a hassle. And I am willing to can do every possible thing that can enhance my mood and make me feel better during the time. So, it would be great if you can pamper me with some foods that will make me happy. Girls never say no to chocolates and ice creams, remember?
9. Love And Care
Last, but not the least, shower some abundant love and affection upon me. It will make me feel good. A warm hug, holding my hand, or just reassuring me that the pain will soon subside can be so uplifting and soothing.
So, now that you know what makes a girl feel good during her period, why not try any of these? For all you know, your comforting words could make her feel a lot better.
