Comfort

  • Curl up on the sofa or in bed with a hot water bottle (or a microwave heat pack) to warm your abdomen or lower back.
     
  • Take a long soak in a warm bath with aromatherapy oils to help you relax.
     
  • Gently rub your abdomen or get someone to give you a back massage.
     
  • Try not to wear tight clothes just before and during your period.
     

 

If you've tried everything under the sun and period pain is still making your life a misery, it's worth asking your GP for advice.
