Have you ever typed this question into Google? I did this just now and it pops up on tons of pages! Lots of girls are asking this question. Here is an example:

“Can you possibly lighten/ shorten your period?

Hey guys!

I have to admit this post is almost out of desperation because I am very sick at the moment, just got my period, and have a party to go to tomorrow night. I got it out of the blue, because it never comes on time… maybe once or twice a year. This makes it hard for me to predict how long/heavy it is but usually, when I do actually get it, its horrid. I’ll probably spend most of my time in the bathroom rather than at the party. Even when I take ibprofen I still feel like my uterus is being ripped out *sigh*. I was just wondering, even though I know it’s kind of a silly question, is it possible to lighten or shorten my period without hbc? Thank you guys so much.”

Can you do anything to shorten your period? This question seems to be on every woman’s mind.

Some months ago, when I first tried the Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins from Winalite I was pretty much surprised to experience a very short and light period. I was not told the pad could have this effect, so I thought it was a coincidence. But then same thing happened next month when I used the Anion pad. I also heard many other women who use the Anion Love Moon Sanitary Napkins are experiencing lighter and shorter periods.

I should add that this doesn’t seem to work for everybody though. Even if many women testify to having lighter and shorter periods when using this pad, it is not guaranteed to do this for everybody. But if you are really interested in shortening your periods and feeling much more comfortable during that time, you could at least try it and see if it works for you. There’s nothing to lose.

You can get some Anion pads by ordering them over the phone or over the Internet from WellnessPartners.

Let us know what you think of them and if they have shortened your period.

Wishing you all the best!

Migraines are chronic headaches that can cause significant pain for hours or even days. Women experience headaches much more often than men. This is because there is a close link between headaches and hormonal changes.

Headaches often begin around the time of a girl’s first period and accompany menstruation regularly throughout the reproductive years. Birth control pills and hormone therapy also can trigger headaches. During pregnancy, headaches often become less bothersome. The simple explanation? The hormones estrogen and progesterone — which play key roles in regulating the menstrual cycle and pregnancy — may affect headache-related chemicals in the brain as well. Higher estrogen levels may improve headaches, while lower estrogen levels can make headaches worse.

Headache is a common symptom of premenstrual syndrome, and up to 60% of women with migranes report headaches before or during menstruation.

What to do to relieve menstrual headaches:

• over-the-counter pain killers can relieve many menstrual headaches;
• eat healthy foods;
• exercise regularly;
• keep stress under control;
• practice relaxation techniques;
• get plenty of sleep.
