After relieving yourself in the bathroom always wipe and make sure everything is clean and as fresh as it can be, avoid contracting infections by taking extra precaution with your daily hygiene during your period.

You can get actual feminine wipes but if you want to make sure you're in tip top shape, any alcohol-free wipes should be good.

Pain Reliever Meds

When the pain becomes almost unbearable don’t fret and avoid the trouble of hunting down the nearest pharmacy by keeping your most trusted pain medications on hand. When even your medicine doesn’t seem to be doing the job of making the pain go away, consult with your OB-GYN to solve the problem while still in its early stages.
