Period Essentials
Over the past year, I have been open about my struggles with endometriosis and the surgery I underwent to help with the effects of it. A couple of weeks ago, I did a video updating all of you on my period post-surgery, but I wanted to share all my period essentials that help make my period more bearable!
Cozy Robe
When I'm on my period, all I want to do is be comfortable. I love wearing soft robes like this one to keep me cozy in bed and as relaxed as possible. There is nothing like taking a warm shower and putting this robe on to make you feel like you're nestled in a cloud!
Clay Mask
Self-care is so important during my period because doing small things like a face mask can help make me feel better. I use a ton of different ones depending on what my skin needs, but this clay mask is a constant in my routine that always refreshes my skin and makes it feel revitalized!
Lap Desk
When I'm on my period, I am not getting out of bed. However, I still need to do work, so I am obsessed with this lap desk that lets me use my laptop without it overheating on my blankets. And, let's be honest, I can also watch Dance Moms this way, too!
Heating Pad
If I could only have one thing during my period, it would be this heating pad. I have had this heating pad for almost a year, and it has changed the game for managing my pain. I also love that I can put it on a timer so I can fall asleep and not have to worry about turning it off.
Pink Pajamas
When it's finally time to take off my robe and get dressed, I'm putting on a cozy pair of pajamas. I ordered this pink pair a long time ago, and they have quickly become one of my favorite pairs of pajamas. They are soft and lightweight, which is great when I have the heating pad on and can get a little hot.
Waterboy Packets
When I'm on my period, I am doing everything I can to help make myself feel better. Waterboy Packets are one of my favorite products to help keep my electrolytes up and help me drink more water because it tastes so good!
Weighted Dinosaur
I would not be able to survive a period without my weighted dinosaur. Not only is my dinosaur the cutest thing in the world, but it also helps relieve any anxiety I may have and keeps the heating pad firmly against my stomach. If you need anything off this list, it is definitely this dino.
Tea Mug
I recently learned that it is best for me to avoid coffee during my period, so I love to drink different types of tea instead. Personally, I am obsessed with mugs, and when my period has me upset, there is nothing better than looking at my Swiftea mug and giggling at the pun.
Melatonin
Whether it be my cramps or how hot I get during my period, I find it hard to sleep at night. One of the ways I get the best sleep I can is by taking these melatonin pills. Sleep is so important during your period, so things like this can help make your rest better!
Sleep Mask
Another way I help myself get a better night's sleep is by wearing a sleeping mask. There is nothing worse than tossing and turning all night, and when you finally fall asleep, the sun wakes you up, so this sleeping mask helps eliminate that issue. I also wear it during the day to take naps if I'm feeling sluggish!
When you're on your period, you should be doing everything in your power to make yourself comfortable and calm. I hope my essentials help make your period a little bit more manageable!
