Fun things to do during your period =) Options

[Annie5332]

1. Go shopping. Almost every girl loves to shop and go to the mall. Buy something or not, its still a good workout!

2. Read a good book. Take a warm bath, get into some comfortable pjs, and sit on the couch and read a good book.

3. Dance to music like a maniac. Put on your favorite music and just dance like nothing you've ever seen before. Keep it clean ;) and just have fun.

4. Take your dog for a walk. Sure, its work and sure it isnt always plesent, but its a good exersize and your dog gets good exersize to!

5. Ride your bike around with your friends.

6. Be active. Dont be a bum during your period.

7. Learn how to do something new. Take a class for dance if you want. Or even singing lessons!

8. Go to the mall with friends and try on tons of outfits. Dont care how silly you look. Just have fun!

9. Play a sport! Get your friends together to go to the park and play baseball or something you enjoy =) A really good sport is frisbee.

10. Have a tea party! Ok, sure not everyone likes tea but you could sub it in for pop or something good. Get your friends together and just talk about the good ol' times.

11. Sit in your bed, wrapped in a blanket and watch your favorite show while eating icecream straight from the tub =) -barelyy_coherent

12. Relax a lot. If you get super PMSy, try to calm yourself down with breathing exersizes insted of going off on someone and making them feel bad.

13. Go to Walmart and play football. Ask people to join in and have fun! (Ok yeah I know you could do that anytime but its still fun =) )

14. Blast your music really loud. Sing like an idiot and dance around in your pj's.

15. Have a movie marathon with your friends at your house and follow it with a sleepover of fun!

16. Be really creative. I've read in a book that drawing and just being really creative helps you be calm during your period...Im not sure if this is correct. I just read it in some book.

17. Do your nails and your toe nails. =)

18. This one is my favorite. Give yourself a spa day. Dont do anything but relax. =)

Tips
Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day.
Being active helps reduce/get rid of cramps.
Try to not be bitchy to people when your PMSing. They might take it the wrong way and start something.
Avoid coffee and caffine.

Yes, I did write these and I'll be adding more things soon. Feel free to suggest things and comment. More to come =)

[inthemudhole]

I usually just hang around and try and relax.
I hate being active when I have it.

[shortiiex]

but won't your period leak if you take a bath....aren't you suppose to take a shower?

[Annie5332]

It stops in baths, too.

[HOTGOOSE08]

I HATE moving around while on the rag, its just uncomfortable, having to change it and stuf... but i guess ppl like other things

[aera]

i do all of those without my period too. except i have picnics and not tea parties...

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

i dont get why girls change when they get their period. i mean, i GET that everyones is different and i know the reason im having a hard time understanding is because nothing happens to me. i just happen to be on my TOM.

[xoxvietbabyy]

I think I'm going to have a tea party. *is sitting at tabel with stuffed animals, pouring imaginary tea for mrs. teddy bear*

[yukichan]

wow..i think this is good advice...maybe a mod could pin it?

[sheepy]

i don't like to move when i have it. i'll rather go bath and yeah.. relax.

[Paradox of Life]

You can do ALL of these things when you're not on your period. Perhaps you like to move around a lot, but I find it very uncomfortable especially because my period makes me more tired. I personally don't think this is good advice. And yes, you will leak if you take a bath. I once started my period in a pool (sucked cuz people were staring) and yeah... Water shouldn't affect whether the blood continues to flow or not.

[megan_x3]

lol ... i just sit there and complain to my mom .. =P that helps ! ^.^

[frenchaddict88]

I usually just hang around and try and relax.
I hate being active when I have it.

same here. i feel all lazy. and its uncomfortable to like ride ur bike and stuff. i luv number 2! just read a book and relax! number 10 sounds fun too haha. thanks!

[gigiopolis]

Err...couldn't you do any of these things whenever you wanted to?

I say, stay in bed, wrapped up tightly in a blanket, watch Desperate Housewives, and eat ice cream straight from the bucket. =)

[toodlepops.]

^sounds yummy. =)

[misoshiru]

my life isn't affected when i have my period. it's just annoying.

[lilnatcat]

Mneh..................I still have to cope with it during my classes and panicing...........there is pretti much nothing "fun" I do when I got it.......except eat a lot.........and avoiding cold foods...........

Gawd.........all those things to do.........u can't always do those things.................

[pingpang_0811]

i prefer go shopping and read books.
these are all my favourite, haha!
but your ideas are really quite funny~

[kill me please]

i try to act normal on mine.. sometimes helps. i might take a nap and then later im back to "normal", almost lol.

[danishcookiez]

hm, i would agree that i do different things when i have my period. only because i get much more crankier, hormonal, and emotional
lol, i usually take more naps, read more, or watch romantic comedies

[bbyunique]

i usually get lazy and tired also. i have to eat a bit more, and on time for it to be less painful and so it goes away quicker. i rather stay home and mop around. but i do go out just to go out. of course i freak the whole time, wondering if you can tell im wearing a pad lol. im sometimes cranky on it, not all the time. all that crap bout your cramps will go away once your older, is BS!!! i still have them and im bout be 19 darnit. ughh

[Angel_Cece]

lol. cool ideas... maybe i'll give them a try.

[IamRad]

i dont like doing anything when i have it. i hate walking when i have it. i just hate it, period

[miss barnes]

2. Read a good book. Take a warm bath, get into some comfortable pjs, and sit on the couch and read a good book.

i like those ^^^^

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

i always do my normal stuff during that time.. except when its summer time, i dont swim.

[alli]

i usually do active stuff not cuz i want to cuz i have to.. if i could chose..i would sit home and just relax.. =]

[tmauze]

wow it was brilliant to start one of these

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Ahaha wow that is really helpful. Lols thanks for the advice.

[sammi rules you]

Err...couldn't you do any of these things whenever you wanted to?

I say, stay in bed, wrapped up tightly in a blanket, watch Desperate Housewives, and eat ice cream straight from the bucket. =)

heck yes =)

..or these diet mints i'm eating. they're supposed to make you lose weight. it says eat 1 or 2 before every meal.........


... i've eaten like 6. O_O

[bad_girl]

ugh.. im having mine now. i just want to sleep!

[HoodieObsessed]

unlike some ppl above I don't mind being active when I have my period (mostly cause I use tampons and I don't get cramps much anymore) I find it makes me feel better...but not riding the bike...that kinda pushes in all the worng places if oyu get when I mean...lol...

uhhh, and those arn't bad tips for when your jsut plain bored, hah.

[x3Babii]

Sit in your bed, wrapped in a blanket and watch your favorite show while eating icecream straight from the tub

i always thought it made your period somewhat worse if you ate cold things such as ice cream

[Annie5332]

I've never heard that its bad to eat cold things during you period. I'll do a search on google or something and reply back.

[Biblesterr743]

a couple of them are as if a period lasts three million yearsss..
e.g. #7, take a class?!?! wtf.

man peoples act as if periods are a girls worse enemy.

but dont get me wrong.. these are some hot tips.


lovin' it.

[bby_cutie]

i don't think anyone has tea parties anymore
But i agree that you need to relax and do more exercises when you're pmsing.

[lAdDLuVeR1]

Wow!!! You really helped me. I do feel better and I'll try to do some of those "EXCITING" things!
lyl xoxo mooch mooch, LaddLuver1

[Annie5332]

Well, my period is my enemy. I swear its the biggest pain.

[Annie5332]

Tea parties are fun Ok well I havent really had one since like...long time ago so yeah. But its relaxing

[aznhunnie6o1]

Usually I just tell people I'm PMSing...

These are great!! I want icecream now....

[angelrevelation]

being active usually makes it heavier doesnt it? but it'd be nice to go shopping anytime

[__PASS10NAT3]

mm.. nice list (=

[dancingkait]

thats so good ;) i did a bunch of those yesterday. went shopping (bought lots), rode bikes with a few friends to go get pizza, danced around my room tons, nice long warm shower. they helped me forget about the whole thing :P

[eli5e]

blahhhh ..I HATE PERIODSSSSSS :p

[Annie5332]

Being active is suppost to get rid of cramps.

[Ballpointpencil]

I do almost everything I do when I'm not on my period. Reading is a particular favorite. :P

[angelshortipnai]

when i'm on my period, it doesn't bother me at all. i do normal stuff like play basketball every morning, be hyper or something..that's just me haha

[Mulder]

i eat...a lot

[silver-rain]

Run! It makes you forget about your period since you're concentrating on something else, and it's good exercise.

i always thought it made your period somewhat worse if you ate cold things such as ice cream

Yeah, my mom says it's bad for you to eat cold foods when you have your period... She doesn't let me eat ice cream when I get it...

[ThePrincessofTKD]

i take a nap when i have cramps because it aches like heck. other than that, i continue on with my day or try to get my mind off it by eating ice cream.

[teeners4]

go jogging!

i dont know when i have my period. if i do some excercise it makes the cramps go away

[Annie5332]

I edited it a lot =) Enjoy

[Fallen Fairy]

The dancing one is funny!

fallen fairy

[silentxcries]

ehh im not so sure about you but i dont really like shopping while its that time.. bloating.. cramps, pmsing over clothes that dont fit ehh... i just try to not move arround much and do stuff normaly and try to ignore it.. and sometimes it almost goes away..

[*salcha*]

Or you can be like me and do summer homework, because if I don't...then I'll fall behind. Yay.

[aznangel4eva]

nice list...

me likey. ^_^

[xchrystizzle]

if you get cramps it helps to get like one of those rubber pouch thingies and fill it with hot/warm water and put it on your bellyyy then get totally absorbed into what you're doing on the computer or whatever's on tv x) thats what i do!

=/ try on outfits? sounds good but what if it leaks onto pants your tryin on x_X just stick to shoes

[Annie5332]

XDD I never thought of that.... Ill fix xD

[honored_strength]

I don't think I ever had a tea party.. it sounds like a lot of fun though.. it seems like it would get your mind off of it. haha.. a bath is definetly the best treatment though!!

[SMiLEEFORMEE]

i dont like doing anything when i have it. i hate walking when i have it. i just hate it, period

you hate it "PERIOD" haha. i get it haha yeah. ima loser

anyhoo some good idea thereeee.

[Se7eN_x]

WAH i only do like 2-4 of these during my period
most of the time i just sit in front of the computer

[aeyungg xd]

one word: cramps.

[Bobblehead425]

besides cramps and stuff i never act any different...ok well not yet. good tips...although i also dont like to be active during my period haha

[Joss-eh-lime]

trying on outfits doesnt sound fun when its that time. neither does dancing around or taking up a new skill

sleeping...yea

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

14. Blast your music really loud. Sing like an idiot and dance around in your pj's.

My favorite one by far. Alone with my music....
I don't think I'd be up to hanging around friends. They'd either be too boring or too annoying.

[Rogue_Ewok]

My hubby rubs my belly and we have a movie night on the couch. He waits on me and treats me like a princess. i wuv my honey.

[Skyline Drive]

Well this interesting. I think being active in general while you are on you're period is good.

[iheartjohn]

Fun and period do not belong in the same sentence.

[sheddingtears]

what i do best when i'm on it is sleeping.

[breakingdawn]

I just act normal and try to hide the pain. Once at school, my male friend who is really cool with like everything, kinda guessed, and was acting really nice and doing things for me so that I didn't have to get up.

[rx_azngirl]

cool tips :]

[centaur_passion]

Well this interesting. I think being active in general while you are on you're period is good.

Active. No, no, no, no, NO!
I'm fine as long as I'm sitting or lying down doing something that takes no thought, like reading, playing games on the computer, or watching TV, but once I start walking around, CRAMPS! Maybe for some people, being active makes cramps go away, but for me...blech.

[Atobe_Keigo]

Ahahaha! I'm actually better at DDR when I'm on my period!!! (^__^);;

I'm more active and hyper too!!!

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

I sit on my ass in front of my computer && listen to my iTunes while posting on CreateBlog. =P Hah, but I do that everyday...So, that doesn't count. I like to do fun, silly, calming things when I'm riding the crimson wave.

You can go to Toys 'R Us w/ a load of friends [because it's more fun], && screw around w/ the toys && crash them into stuff, doesn't everyone like to do that? Or am I still immature...?

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

edit://Terribly sorry for the double post!

[ichigofan]

When I get my period I DONT GO OUT AT ALL! I stay home, tell my mom to rent a couple of movies, I order/eat chinese food, I sleep, talk on the phone, basically any activity that is done by lying/sitting down

[piney]

chocolate helps cramps and pains

[tears_of_blood]

i can barely WAIT to shower when i have mine. lol. i'm not very atheletic during the few days.... and i don't plan to be =S just in case. but hey, trying on funky outfits sounds good.

[jerseygal34]

i just take a REALLY long bubble bath..it relaxes you and also it stops when your in the tub..also listening to music....and also if you take IB profin to stop the cramps ((my friend told me this)) that if you suck on them before you swallow them the coating tastes like sugar ((and it does))..don't worry it's not like im popping pills all the time because they taste good lol

[cheerbee07]

i pretty much do what i always do..i don't get cramps or anything..so it's just another day to me. i do eat a lot more chocolate than usual though lol.

[ktsou11]

thats actually a good idea. i usually exercise and drink a lot of water. at least i know its good for me now :D by the way, i love your signature!

[yellowgurl]

since its summer. do whatever that comes to mind.. watch hours and hours of mindless tv, eat whatever you wish or just go on the computer until you're extremely bored of it.
unfortunately, my period ended already but during that time.. my computer was being stupid.. and the internet failed to work. i talked on the phone most of the time =D
