There are many misconceptions about menstruation. Let’s debunk ten of these myths so you can be better informed about what is and isn’t true. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When you have your period you should not exercise<\/strong> Although you may prefer to hang out on the couch, there is no medical reason why you should not exercise during your period. Exercise can even help with menstrual cramps. So this is definitely not a myth! <\/li>\n
  2. Don’t go swimming while menstruating<\/strong> There is no reason not to swim during your period, as long as you use the right protection. Products like Beppy offer invisible care, so no one notices it’s \u201cthat time of the month\u201d for you. <\/li>\n
  3. You can’t have sex during \u201cthose days of the month\u201d<\/strong> Without precautions, things might get messy, but sex during menstruation is perfectly normal. With a product like Beppy, you can even prevent your bed partner from noticing. <\/li>\n
  4. You get your period exactly every 28 days<\/strong> The menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman and can be different each month. It is perfectly normal if you do not get your period exactly every 28 days. <\/li>\n
  5. Young girls should not use tampons<\/strong> There is a misconception that tampons can affect virginity, but this is not true. Young girls can just use tampons without any concern. <\/li>\n
  6. You lose gallons of blood during each period<\/strong> Although it sometimes seems like you lose a lot of blood, in reality it is only about 60 ml per period. This is only a fraction of the total amount of blood in your body. <\/li>\n
  7. PMS does not really exist and is between your ears<\/strong> PMS is a real condition caused by hormonal changes before menstruation. Up to 85% of women experience PMS symptoms in one form or another. <\/li>\n
  8. When you have your period, it’s better not to wash your hair<\/strong> A hot shower can actually be relaxing during your period, including washing your hair. This myth has no scientific basis. <\/li>\n
  9. It is better to avoid certain types of food during your period<\/strong> There is no reason to avoid certain foods or drinks during your period. Feel free to enjoy whatever you feel like, including a nice bowl of ice cream on the couch. As on other days, though, healthy eating remains important. <\/li>\n
  10. You cannot get pregnant while menstruating<\/strong> Although it is less likely, you can get pregnant during your period. Because your ovulation cycle is unpredictable, it’s best to always use contraception if you don’t want to get pregnant. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
