You have your period and you're invited to a swimming
party? Or , what do you do when you're staying over at
a friend's house and you have your period? How do
you prevent leaks?

The Swimming Party
You don't have to swim. Just explain that you aren't
feeling great and just hang out by the pool in your suit.
To handle your period, it's best to use a tampon if
you're wearing a swimsuit. If you are not, use thick,
sanitary pads.  Double layer the pads, so they go all the
way up the back of your panties and all the way up the
front. Use the napkins with flaps (wings). If you are
accustomed to using tampons, wear one as well as use
the napkin.

Staying Overnight
The trick is to change your napkin (dispose in a plastic
bag, use a grocery bag for example, and tie the top) a
lot and especially right before you go to sleep. Then in
the bed, place a thick bath towel over the sheets. That
way, if you leak, it hits the sheets first. Bring a towel
form home if you can.

Controlling Odor

In Europe, the bidet is a girl's best friend. You just sit
there, get a wonderful spray and it keeps you fresh
every day. In America, bidets are rare in bathrooms.
To stay fresh, you have to douche. Use a commercial
douche or use a solution of warm water and a teaspoon
of vinegar. Vinegar neutralizes smells, which is the
reason women have used it to stay fresh for centuries.

To douche, you must get the water into your vagina and
let the water rinse out your vagina. Easy if you have a
commercial applicator.  Staying dry also helps, so use
baby powder to keep your upper thighs and outer
vaginal area dry.

Finally, you can make your period easier by exercising,
especially during the 7 days before your period. Also,
eat plenty of dark green vegetables and drink 8 glasses
of water to keep your flow steadier. Finally, take a
multi-vitamin with iron and folate.

Why Do Women Tend to Have Their Periods At The
Same Time?
Women and all female mammals tend to "cycle
together". But it takes living in close proximity, not just
occasionally being around someone. Researchers
believe the phenomenon is caused by chemical
compounds called pheromones that communicate
signals to other animals in a pack. You may notice that
you and your college roommates or you and your sister
start to cycle together.
