Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess
To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//
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!
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!
Treat yourself to some chocolate!
Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!
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!
Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon
Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!
Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good
Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum
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
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
Some more tips/advice!
Also this post isn’t just for men, this is for everyone really, nonbinary people, genderfluid folk, everyone else. I originally created this post with men in mind because I am a trans male myself and these are just the tips I’ve personally picked up on. But I hope this is helpful for everyone!
Also! You can make a re-usable heating pad with a thick, long sock, rice, a little but of water and a microwave! Put about a cup of rice in the cup, tie the sock so the the rice won’t come out, splash a tablespoon or 2 of water in the sock and microwave it for a minute or 2. To re-use it, splash some water on the outside of the sock and microwave it. It’s cheap and helps a lot!
All of these.
Thanks
Raspberry leaf tea is a goddamn miracle worker for periods
