Do you dread having your period?
You aren’t alone. In fact, according to Hindawi, about 1 in 5 women suffer from menorrhagia- painful and heavy periods. Even if you don’t suffer with painful cramping, there are other perceived fewer desirable traits that come alongside that time in the month.
Why are periods sometimes seen as a frustration? Some women feel an annoyance and discomfort in using tampons, pads or cups and making sure they are available for those days you get caught off guard. Having things booked in, such as holidays or mini breaks and discovering you’re going to be in your bleeding phase leaves you feeling flustered. Even having to rearrange ‘intimate’ date nights due to the perceived unwanted monthly visitor.
However, some women aren’t so bothered about their period. They don’t find them painful or uncomfortable and usually don’t mind going about their usual business during that time of the month.

3. You Can Learn When and When Not to Do Certain Activities
