Period Q&A:

Brought to You By Oky App

Can I jump, run, fall and lift heavy things during my period?

Yes! Jumping, running, falling, or lifting heavy objects during your period will not affect you. In fact, exercise helps to increase your blood flow and may reduce pain and cramping!

Why are some women told not to attend religious functions or prepare food during their period?

There is no medical reason for a woman or girl not to attend religious functions or prepare food when menstruating, but some religions do have rules around this.

My friend said periods have nothing to do with marriage age. Is this true? That’s right! Even after you start getting periods, your body is still growing. Getting married and having a baby before the age of 18 can lead to health problems for you and your child.

What kind of people use period tracker apps?

How should you dispose of a pad?

It is important to dispose of sanitary pads or tampons properly by wrapping them and putting them in the bin or burning them with other garbage for hygienic reasons (just like when going to the toilet) but don’t worry if you forget sometimes – nothing bad will happen.

Can I swim on my period?

Yes! It’s fine to swim on your period.

You can’t use a pad as they absorb water. Use a tampon or menstrual cup instead. Some period underwear can also be worn while swimming.
