Period Myths- Love and share the facts.

If your period was a flick on an OTT platform, myths are the spoilers. They are bizarre yet widespread. But you, girl, can do better than that. Here’s busting some:

Myth #1

Dig up the data and you will know that it’s just a made-up story. No one else but you will ever know if you have your period. So, why restrict yourself to just a walk in the park.  Go on and take that dip in the ocean, fearlessly

Myth #2

It’s so important to keep clean and look good during your period. You instantly start feeling better, In fact, a warm bath or shower can even help you with your cramps.

Myth #3

You don’t need to turn into a sleeping beauty. Instead step out, and get some light exercise to lift up your mood and kick those cramps away.
And in case you still wanna sleep in, turn to the 360-degree anti-leakage protection of Kotex Overnight period panties that give you the best sleep during periods

Myth #4

Ugh… Truth is your body decides the flow, not you or me, or any other trick. As for hot water, a nice warm bath or shower, or a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel can do just as good with easing off those cramps

Myth #5

Let’s talk science! A sperm can live for 3-5 days inside a female body. With ovulation occurring during, or soon after, the bleeding phase, pregnancy is a possibility.

Myth #6

It's best to speak to your doctor if you miss your period. After the first time you get your period, it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to become regular. And, for some girls, it never becomes completely regular.

Myth #7

If you’re old enough to have your period, you’re old enough to use a tampon. Period. You may ask for some help before using it. Think mom or your older sis maybe?

Myth #8

The days in your menstrual cycle can be very different from your BFF or any other woman, for that matter. Your body decides what your cycle is, nothing else.

Myth #9

The last thing you wanna do is mess with nature. Your period is a biological cycle and trying to play around with it could mean bad news for your health.

Myth #10

Now think about this. How can blood coming out of your body be different, just because it is coming out from the vagina! Did you know it has no odour? Now that’s a fact!

Why blame others, so many of us women stay away from period talk. That’s exactly why the topic of periods is loaded with a ton of myths. So, know the right thing, talk about it and go easy.
