Period tips for my AFAB kiddos
- A recipe for a chocolate mug cake that y'all will definitely need. 4 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 4 tbsp milk, 2 tbsp oil, ½ tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix it all together in a mug or ceramic bowl and microwave for 60-90 seconds. You can add chocolate chips, whip cream, ice cream, etc.
- I personally prefer tampons bc they feel more hygienic, but make sure you set a timer/alarm for 8 hours bc Toxic Shock Syndrome is b a d. Stay safe, kiddos
- Kisscartoon and Kissanime are websites where you can watch free cartoons or anime. It’s not super secure so don’t click on any adds or anything.
If you have bad cramps:
- How to make a heating pad: fill the foot of a long sock with rice, put a couple tablespoons of water inside and tie the sock at the ankle. Microwave it for a minute. You can reuse it, get it wet and microwave it everytime.
- Dark chocolate is soooo much better for you than milk chocolate.
- If your cramps get p bad, see if you can get midol or other cramp medication.
- If you can’t get that or you aren’t at home, focus on your breathing and breathe from your stomach, not your chest or shoulders
- Drink water and tea!!!!
If periods make you dysphoric:
- Remember! You have more testosterone in your body than when you aren’t menstruating
- Put on comfy pants and a big sweatshirt
- Do Not Bind. Wear a sport bra. Nike makes some good ones, if you can get a couple on sale, you’ll thank yourself. But any brand will work.
