Any tricks to help ease period cramps?

So I have just discovered the wonderful-ness of those portable heat pads that last 8 hours. My sister said that I’m behind the times. Are there any other cool tricks besides heat and Aleve?

Answer #1

omg I have never found relief for cramps until I started taking birth control. But what worked for me at the time was ibuprofen, but you have to take it consistently throughout the day. Yes and hot showers are amazing

Answer #2

sex change??

Answer #3

take some cramp pills and go take a nap… I do that when I have cramps and when I wake up the cramps and such are gone. but I’m pretty “lucky” with mine I guess it’s not too painful or heavy. or just sit/lay around in something comfortable and take it easy

Answer #4

hysterectemy ?? morphine ??

Answer #5

Hot bath/shower should stop the cramps immediately Ofcourse this only lasts while you’re in the water, but take 4 showers a day and you’re good (ok impractical, but who cares, it works!)

Also take pain medication before the cramps, premptive strikes always work!

Answer #6

u can get a water bottle, put hot water in it and hold it where the pain is (or just use your heat pad!), also take some kind of pain reliever…

Answer #7

I think I’m just being a wuss. those thermacare pads are SO cool though…

Answer #8

a good way that worked for me was drinking tea…any kind of tea

Answer #9

I’ll take either.
