#help, #periods
For the first few days of your period, and sometimes up to a week before, you may get uncomfortable tummy pains. This is called period pain or period cramps and you get it in your lower back, abdomen and groin area.
Most girls experience this at some point in their lives and it can be very different for everyone. It can make you feel miserable, not to mention a little moody(!) so here are a few tips to help you feel better.
Get out and about – any kind of movement can actually make you feel good. If that doesn’t float your boat, run yourself a warm bath as this can help your body relax and ease the pain. A hot water bottle can do the trick too. Constipation (pain when releasing waste food) can make period pain worse, so make sure you eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables to avoid this happening. Drink plenty of water too as this helps keep your body hydrated. If it’s really bad, ask an adult for pain killers as this may take away most of the pain. Just remember that any kind of medication you take should only be taken under adult supervision

With so much on offer, many girls are confused about which product is right for them so we’ve created this little guide to help make things a bit easier.
If you have a question about periods, changes to your body or how you're feeling and can’t find the answer on here, ask Vicki for some advice. Just type in your question and press submit.
If Vicki can help you, she'll post an answer in the ‘Your questions answered’ page, so don't forget to keep checking it (and the best thing is nobody will ever know it was you that asked!)
