    Default working on your period

    I told my manager I would come work tonight since we've been really short on girls. I'm on my period and usually it's not a problem. I know the drill, cut the string and wear dark panties. but tonight it's REALLY heavy and I HAVE to go into work but I have really really bad cramps. anyone have any tips for me?

    Does Advil/Aspirin/Ibuprofin work at all for you? Pop one of those a half hour before your shift and you should be okay. Otherwise, for more natural things, yogurt, orange juice, and tea (chai or peppermint or lavender with no milk) always help ease my cramps.

    Midol!

    There are heat pads that you can put on your stomach for menstrual cramps -- they make a HUGE difference for me, when I'm on my period. I'd wear one on the way to work or maybe bring one to the club, just in case the cramps kick in and you have to sit out for a while.

    Other than that... get one of those super absorbent tampons and get down to business!

    heat pads, lots of ibuprofen, and eat/drink lots of dairy products if you are not lactose intolerant... the calcium and protein is supposed to work wonders on cramps!! if i ever have bad cramps i just drink a big glass of milk or eat a bowl of cereal with milk and it definitely helps ease the cramps.

    let us know how it goes!!

    Drink rosehip tea. I swear by it. I'm not one to demonise pharmaceuticals (my housemates call me 'the pharmacist'), but I find it eases lower back pain just as well as paracetomol or ibuprofen.

    i wouldn't agree to work on my period if it was bad in the first place.... and I tend to just not schedule myself during the first 2 days any way- I'm bitchy, not emitting positive pheromones that men are attracted to-- and it's not worth it because I don't make money and don't feel good.

    but.... if I HAD to work, I would take ibuprofen + crampbark, drink lots of peppermint/ginger/dong quai tea, and probably smoke a joint before going in to tone down my bitchiness.

    Secondly the rosehip tea and the midol. I don't smoke pot, but I've heard it helps. Also (and you're going to hate me for this) but some light stretching and a 20 minute run will help tone down those cramps for a few hours. Sex/masturbation will also help relax the pelvic muscles.

    Let us know how it goes.

    What method of birth control do you use? Being on the pill has made my periods MUCH lighter and less painful. Not that it would help you tonight, but it could help you out of a similar situation in a month or two.

    Also, naproxen sodium aka Aleve seems to work better for cramps than acetominophen or ibuprofen.

    Good luck!

    I agree. I feel like a monster 10-15 days before my period when I'm not on the pill. I get very severely depressed (not just cranky) like clockwork every month. I have depression/anxiety anyway, so I'm predisposed to low moods, but I found going on Yasmin (low dose oral contraceptive, don't know if all countries have that brand) levelled me out better than any anti-depressant.

    I just started on iron pills recently. I'm taking 4 per day along with magnesium. I didn't know this before but lacking iron can have major effects on your cramps, so along with taking pain killers take some iron! Iron is one of the biggest things you will lose during your period, so try to keep it replaced in your body.

    Also, I'm not sure what type of tampons you are using but if your period is really heavy the old style O.B. Ultra tampons for heavy flow are amazing for heavy periods.

    I usually use the Instead cup personally, since I'm not big on cotton/pads/or sea sponges. I wouldn't suggest you try them now, but maybe in the future.

    A combo of Pampin and Excedrin works for me. My biggest problem stripping during my period is that my boobs are so sore! While I'm on stage I'm like ow my boobies are bouncing!

    Liking it would be an understatement. I am not grossed out with it like I am by the idea of pads (blood rotting outside but against the body), nor like sea sponges (sticking a dead animal up there freaks me out). I also am not nearly as worried about toxic shock syndrom with it, & that is a major concern with tampons. I don't know that there have been any cases of TSS with Instead, but I don't think there have been. I'll research that. Plus, if you need/want to you can have sex with it in.

    Okay, I just searched & there have been no reported incidences of toxic shock from the Instead soft cup.

    However, I did discover numerous sites where soft cup was being used by couples who were trying to conceive! Here's an example: http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/softcup.html

    Ok so I realise what I'm about to suggest may not be available in the US, but I'm sure something similar will be at least.

    The most commonly used sanitary protection used by girls here for working while having a period is a sea sponge. Its what most prostitutes you use. Here you can easily purchase from any brothel. See this article for more info: Sea Sponges for your Period Sea sponges can cope with almost anything. It also means you can still do toy shows.

    Depo-provera is also used by alot of girls. It is typically a three-monthly injection administered by your doctor which stops you from having a period at all. It doubles as a contraceptive, basically because you're not having a period.

    Last but not least...Mersyndol Night is totally awesome for combating cramps. Although for alot of people it can make you very sleepy.

    I use the Diva cup, but I still use tampons (sans string) when I'm working, because I find that occasionally, (very occasionally) its possible to see the stem if I have my legs behind my head...NOT a good look (I have a short and tilted cervix). If its super heavy, I just make sure I'm changing it regularly so I'm not worried about it...poor you though, I would hate to be forced to work if it was bad.. : (

    i just tried using it... i just need to find the right way to place it so there is no leaks... i feel like i'll figure it out eventually anyways....

    thanks again!
