If you are like me and suffer with period and Endometriosis pain, or both, I know your pain. I understand how difficult it is to get through your day to day activities, when all you want to do is curl up in a ball in bed. I get it.

Something that I have found helps MASSIVELY with my period and endo pain is a TENS Machine.

I personally don’t like to take pain killers, so I have found using a TENS machine on my lower stomach helps ease the pain so much.

The device emits pulses that target the area of pain. These machines have honestly changed my life, and I can pop one on and go about my day as normal!

They take away so many worries, and have become a comfort blanket for me during my period. You can pop it in your bag, and you can put it on whenever you need it.

No more curling up in a ball in pain!

2. Heat Pads

Links below are a few options for Heat Pads;

Pros	Cons
Helps with pain	Difficult to use in summer months
Provides Warmth and Comfort	Not portable
Different heat & timer settings	Requires plugging in

Something I cannot live without during my period, and Endo flares is a heat pad.

I prefer the ones that wrap around me, so I can keep it in the position I prefer.

I use these when I am working from home, or when I am going to bed to help ease pain in certain areas, and are a sense of comfort and warmth.

This is a staple for winter times when I am in pain, and I want something to cuddle into.

They come with different heat settings, so you can choose your perfect temperature. They also come with a time limit on, which automatically turns itself off after the required time.

They are also nice and soft, and provide you with that needed comfort and cosiness you need during your period!

3. Reusable Pads

Eco Lily Reusable Sanitary Pads

Pros	Cons
Environmentally Friendly	Fleece material can feel warm in summer
Different Flow Options	Can sometimes become stiff after washing
Save money in the long run	Investment

Now, I know what you’re thinking…Reusable pads? I thought the same thing too, until I tried them.

If you are like me, and using tampons or period cups are uncomfortable, and much prefer pads, this could be the solution for you!

My periods are SO heavy, and I go through so many heavy flow pads during my period that it starts to become expensive, and the environmental issues are not good either.

So, I started using reusable pads, and they are a game changer! You can pick from different flow types to suit your needs, and you never have to worry about running out of pads again!

I use the Heavy Flow ones, and I have never leaked once, and I have such peace of mind when wearing them. They are also really comfortable too. They come with two rows of buttons which pop shut to keep them secure.

I wash them in a laundry bag, and then they are as good as new again!

4. Feminine Wipes

Below is the link for the Feminine Wipes;

Pros	Cons
Helps clean up messes	Wasteful
Make you feel cleaner & fresher	Not many in a pack

There is nothing worse than have a period “Accident” when you either out and about, or at work. I am sure we have all been there, rushing to the toilet to go and clean up.

It can be embarrassing, I understand. But it doesn’t have to be.

Being prepared is always on my top list of priorities when it comes to my period. To know I am prepared for anything that could happen.

I suffer from a very heavy flow, and I have had my fair share of “accidents” over the years. I would mention that using feminine wipes over normal wipes will be the better option, as they are designed for your intimate area,

I always carry feminine wipes with me, to help if things get a bit messy and need cleaning up. They also help in making you feel a bit fresher, and back to as much normality you can feel during your period.

It is always a saving grace to keep them on me for my time of need!

In conclusion, there are many things we turn to in our time of need when our periods arrive, and this will vary from person to person. But these are honestly my top 4 things I swear by, and turn to when the hellish flow arrives.

I really wanted to narrow it down to the best things, and not bombard you with a very long list. It all adds up money wise at the end of the day!

I hope this has been helpful. I know how tough periods are and I hope I can help in any way possible.

Thanks all, Holly x
