BOYFRIENDS are often mocked for not understanding periods, but really it’s no more complicated than looking after a hamster. Follow this advice and your partner will be fine.
Three tampons per period will suffice
Everyone knows that one tampon lasts a full period. You’re a considerate partner, however, so you’ll get two spare in case that one falls out.
She can’t get pregnant
Yep, just like if you do it standing up, obviously. With periods the sperms’ visibility is limited and they give up, like driving in fog.
Exercise helps cramps
You saw them say this once on This Morning when you were too hungover to change the channel. You should therefore inform your girlfriend when she’s in the most pain that what she needs instead of an Ibuprofen is a 5k run.
PMS isn’t real
We all get moody or angry sometimes, and she shouldn’t get a catch-all excuse. Again, be sure to remind her of this when she’s at her most hysterical and she’ll definitely thank you for putting her straight.
Everything runs like clockwork
Pretty much to the minute. Every woman knows that every cycle lasts exactly 28 days, after which they will lightly bleed for exactly 24 hours. So there’s no reason for them not to be prepared.
No one knows what periods are for
Like the Nazca Lines, dreams and gravity, scientists have yet to figure out how periods work or what purpose they serve. Maybe you could be the one to solve the mystery?
