Hey, Girly pop! π We know that getting your menstruation while at school can feel stressful, but guess what? Youβve got this! With a little prep and confidence, you can handle it like a total pro. Letβs break it down so you can stay comfortable and worry-free all day long. π
Be Prepared: Your Menstruation Kit Essentials π
A little planning goes a long way! Keep a small, discreet pouch in your backpack with:
β
Pads or panty liners (bring a few extra, just in case!)
β
A spare pair of underwear (accidents happenβno stress!)
β
Wipes or tissues for quick clean-ups
β
A small bag for disposing of used products
β
Pain relief (like a heat patch or a small bottle of water to stay hydrated)
Timing is Everything β°
β Know your cycle β Use a period tracker app or a calendar to estimate when your next menstruation will start.
β Set reminders β If you have a heavy flow, change your pad every 3-4 hours to stay fresh and avoid leaks.
β Use breaks wisely β The best time to check on things? Between classes, lunch breaks, or bathroom trips before PE.
How to Handle Emergencies π¨
Oops, a surprise menstruation? No big deal! Hereβs what to do:
β
Stay calm β Panicking wonβt help, but having a plan will!

Ask a friend or school nurse β Someone will always have a spare pad. (Sisterhood is real! π)
β
Tie a jacket around your waist β Need a quick cover-up? No one will notice!
