1. Wear comfortable clothes 

Choose clothes that are not restricting or tight. This is particularly crucial around your waist and stomach area. Choose underwear that can keep your sanitary products in place. Wear breathable clothes to prevent feeling sweaty or overheated. 

• Choose a pair of old underpants. Thus, you will not bother as much if they get stained, and you may use them in case of an emergency.  
• You may also try wearing wide-leg shorts to hide the pad (if you are using one).  
• Clothing that is loose and elasticized is good for bloating and comfort.  
• When you are having your period, the most comfortable clothes to wear are sweatpants and sweatshirts. 

2. Eat healthy foods 

It's normal to want carbs like bread, chocolate, and cheese while you're on your period, but overeating these might make you feel worse. Your stomach will thank you later for avoiding processed foods and excessive salt. Iron deficiency anemia, which can cause brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings, is also common in women with heavy periods. These menstruation symptoms may be alleviated by maintaining a healthy diet and staying hydrated. If you're craving something sweet, you may consider dark chocolate. It is a rich source of magnesium, which may help regulate serotonin levels and improve your mood.  

• Fill up on fiber – Fiber will minimize bloating and improve healthy digestion. Some good options are almonds, apples, artichokes, beans, blackberries, sweet potatoes, and whole grains.  
• Supplement properly – Foods and supplements containing calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamins E, B6, B12, and omega-3s alleviate most menstrual and PMS symptoms.  
• Include protein-rich foods – Lean protein helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduces cravings. Try consuming lean fish, meats, almond butter, and chickpeas.  
• Proper hydration – Drinking enough water combats fatigue and dehydration, enhancing brain function, digestive regularity, and hormone balance.  
• Healthier snacks – Try snacking on fruits and vegetables, which are better alternatives. Fruits and vegetables are beneficial to the body. Moreover, iron-rich foods should be consumed during menstruation to replenish the iron lost in the blood during your period. 

3. Use warmth 

There's a reason the heating pad is so often associated with menstruation: it helps alleviate discomfort. Warming the body reduces pain by relaxing the muscles, increasing blood flow, and focusing warmth on the belly, relieving cramps directly in the uterus.  

• Utilize a heating pad — a heating pad or heat wrap may be used to deliver direct heat to the abdomen or lower back. 
• Simply putting on warmer clothing or more layers can keep the body warm and promote relaxation and ease in the muscles.  
• Get in a hot shower or bath and add some aromatherapy by using a shower tablet or bath bomb to create a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.  
• Drink a warm beverage – Warming up with a large cup of tea or hot water is a simple way to do so, and some herbal teas may help alleviate the discomfort of menstruation. 

4. Go for herbal tea

Caffeine may also irritate your stomach and give you that achy, crampy, bloated feeling, so it's best to restrict your consumption during your period. Caffeine isn't the only thing that can cause bloating, so staying away from sugary and carbonated drinks is also a good idea. Herbal tea is an excellent choice for a caffeine-free beverage. Get a cup of hot tea such as ginger, green tea, peppermint, chamomile, or raspberry leaf to relieve bloating and feel better during your period. 

5. Get in some light exercise

Even though it is advised not to exercise during your period, light exercises can help enhance your blood flow, which helps reduce period symptoms such as bloating. Light exercise, such as walking, may help relieve cramps and energize you. Avoid workouts that increase abdominal pressure. 

6. Use the right sanitary pads 

Change your pad every few hours to keep it fresh and leak-free. If you have a lighter flow, you should use a day-time pads. If you have a heavy flow, you might consider utilizing overnight pads (there are a variety of pads that you can choose from, depending on your menstrual flow).
