So… she’s on her menstrual cycle. What now?
If you’ve ever felt clueless about what to say or do when a girl around you is dealing with menstruation—don’t stress. You don’t need a medical degree, just a little empathy, good vibes, and this cheat sheet.
Let’s make you the most supportive guy in the room. 💪🏽
🧠 Step 1: Understand What She’s Dealing With
Menstruation isn’t just about “bleeding”—there’s a lot happening:
- Cramps that feel like mini earthquakes in her lower belly
- Backaches
- Mood swings (yes, hormones are real)
- Fatigue
- Bloating
- Worry about leaks, stains, or people noticing
So yeah—it’s not a walk in the park. Be kind. Be chill.
👐 Step 2: Offer the Right Kind of Support
Here’s how to be there, no cape required:
💬 Ask how she’s feeling – “You okay?” goes a long way.
🥤 Bring water or a warm drink – Hydration helps with cramps.
🛋️ Offer space or comfort – Sometimes she wants to talk, sometimes she doesn’t. Respect both.
🍫 Snacks help. Always.
🛍️ Don’t make a fuss about buying pads.
📺 Put on her favorite show, chill quietly. Just being around can help.
🚫 What Not to Do (Ever.)
- Say “Are you on your period or something?” (👎 Super disrespectful)
- Make jokes about her mood
- Act disgusted or weirded out by menstruation
- Complain if she cancels plans to rest
🔥 Bonus Tips: For the Bros, Friends & Baes
👦🏽As a Brother: Keep an emergency stash of pads/tampons at home. Be the one she can text from school if needed.
👫 As a Friend: If she stains her uniform or feels awkward, help her out—no questions, no teasing.
💑 As a Boyfriend: Don’t act awkward. If she’s in pain or feeling down, just say, “How can I help?” Be patient. Her body’s doing a lot.
🌟 Being Supportive = Being Legendary
When you step up instead of stepping back, you make her feel seen, safe, and respected. That’s not soft—that’s solid. So next time she’s on her cycle, remember small gestures = big impact. You’ve got this, king. 👑
