What is the best sleeping position for when you are on your period?!


Question: What is the best sleeping position for when you are on your period?
Im on my period and its quite heavy and I leak a lot. I wear a night pad but want to know what is the best sleeping position as I get severe abdominal cramps and want to know how to ease them without the aid of medication.

Thanks :) xx

Answers:

Anyway, really. Sleeping on your side will make the blood run out sideways, so I'd say on your back. Laying on your back can also help to ease cramps x



There isn't a best sleeping position just lie what-ever way is comfortable. Also the cramps here is a website to try - http://kidshealth.org/kid/grow/girlstuff/period_cramps.html Also i find using a hot water bottle on the cramping area ease's too. :D

Hope this helped xxx

Btw the website has other info about puberty and stuff.

On you back. I would suggest putting a dark, old towel under you so you don't leak on your sheets. Lying on your back also helps the cramps



I would have to say i lay on my stomach with a heating bad under my stomach. (:
