Qué hacer cuando tu novia tiene la regla: 13 cosas que debes hacer

Queridos hombres, ¿pensáis que llevarle chocolate a vuestra chica en esta época del mes va a solucionar todos sus problemas y hacer que se sienta mejor? Si ha respondido Sí, I’ll give you a minute to think again. 😂

Tratar con cambios de humorlo más inusual antojos, hinchazóny toneladas de otros menstruación-cosas relacionadas suena como una pesadilla para todos los hombres del mundo. (No te preocupes, te entendemos perfectamente, pero aun así tienes que intensificar tu juego).

Several guys know exactly what to do during their girlfriend’s menstrual cycle, and their women are grateful for that. También hay chicos que no tienen ni idea de qué hacer cuando su novia tiene la regla.

Do you know what to do when your girlfriend is on her period? If not, today we’ll change that.

Qué hacer cuando tu novia tiene la regla

If you’re not really sure how to treat your girlfriend when she’s on her period, here are the things you should pay attention to:

1. ALIMENTOS

Whenever I’m on my period, I have the weirdest food cravings (e.g., pineapple and milk) that drive my bae crazy. Do you know what’s the best of all? Cuando REALMENTE me pregunta qué quiero comer y se asegura de traérmelo a casa.

Como todos sabemos, la alimentación desempeña un papel importante cuando una mujer tiene la regla. Si quieres ser el mejor novio de la historia, prepárate chocolate negro, toneladas de helado (¿quizá piña?) y su majestad: pizza.

Keep track of the food she enjoys eating when she’s on her period so that you can surprise her in the future (when her next period starts).

2. Let her know that you’re aware of her hormonal changes

I don’t know about other women, but when I’m on my period, I literally feel like a crazy woman all men want to avoid dealing with. Cambios hormonales no son algo que debamos tomarnos a la ligera porque tienen un enorme impacto en nuestro comportamiento y estado de ánimo.

If you notice that she’s started acting a little bit weirder than usual, don’t blame her for it. Instead, let her know that you’re aware of her hormonal changes.

Be supportive and show understanding for her condition because periods DON’T LAST FOREVER, and her negative emotions are the resultado de sus periodos. Make sure to tell her that, too, because we often think that we’ll be crazy forever when we’re on our periods.

3. Sentirse cómodo al hablar de la menstruación

I’m aware that many guys are scared of talking about menstruation. I have the feeling that they’re actually scared of saying something they shouldn’t and thus making their girlfriends feel even worse.

Worry not, your fear is waiting for you to overcome it! 😄

Una simple charla sobre la menstruación puede ser una de las más cosas reconfortantes (después del chocolate, claro) a tu novia. Lo que quería decir es que hablar de la menstruación con tu novia es una forma sencilla de demostrarle lo mucho que te importa.

After all, she just needs someone to understand what she’s going through when she’s on her period. When you’re familiar with how her mind and body function during that time of the month, it will be easier for you to support her.

4. Aprende a darle espacio cuando lo necesite

If you’re wondering about what to do when your girlfriend is on her period, and she’s evidently in a bad mood, then just give her some space. Esta es probablemente una de las cosas más confusas para los chicos, y lo entiendo perfectamente. Permítanme que me explaye.

One moment, she wants to cuddle with you, and then the next, she’s upset and doesn’t want you to touch her. She asks you to bring her chocolate and then gets mad because she thinks she shouldn’t eat so much chocolate when she’s supposed to be on a diet.

La pregunta del millón: ¿Qué hacer cuando no se sabe qué hacer?

La respuesta del millón de dólares: Aprende a darle espacio cuando lo necesite.

Aprende cuáles son sus desencadenantes y haz un seguimiento de su estado de ánimo. Si tu instinto te dice que necesita un poco de espacio, hazle caso (a tu instinto) y actúa en consecuencia.

5. Aprender cuándo iniciar el contacto físico

If you’re wondering how to comfort a girl on her period, I have two words for you: CUDDLE SESSIONS. But before doing anything, first learn when to initiate physical contact.

A veces, tu novia querrá que la dejes en paz. That’s when you shouldn’t initiate any kind of physical contact because it’s just not the right time.

Here’s my most valiosos consejos sobre relaciones: Let her initiate physical contact when she’s on her period.

Si tu novia está interesada en mimosse acercará a ti, o te pedirá que la abraces y te acurruques en el sofá. However, sometimes she won’t initiate physical contact, but she will wait for you to figure it out on your own.

Reconozco que las mujeres somos complicadas (sobre todo cuando tenemos la regla).

6. Sé atento y sensible a sus necesidades

Remember that a hot water bottle, Advil, and chocolate, are the most popular period cramps and mood remedies. Be thoughtful and sensitive to her needs because that’s exactly what she needs from you when she’s on her period.

Your girlfriend wants to know that she can rely on you when she doesn’t feel okay. So, the least you can do is ask her from time to time questions like:

• How are you feeling?

• Do you need something?

• How can I make you feel better?

It’s really easy to be thoughtful when you genuinely care about someone, and your girlfriend knows this too. It’s also easy to be caring toward someone on normal days, but it takes courage to be caring and sensitive to her needs during that time of the month.

7. Period sex shouldn’t be a taboo topic

Se sabe que muchas mujeres se excitan más durante la menstruación que en días normales. También, periodo sexo alleviates period pains, which means it’s a natural painkiller and endorphin releaser.

Creo que los dos argumentos anteriores son suficientes para que te plantees practicar periodo sexo. Well, first, you need to make sure that she’s interested in having sex while on her period.

I’m sure you don’t want to be too pushy or inconsiderate. So, I suggest having an open and honest conversation with her about it.

8. Compra compresas sin que ella te lo pida

Uno de los gestos más conmovedores de mi novio hasta la fecha fue comprarme tampones sin preguntarme si los necesitaba. Me quedé literalmente sorprendida por su nivel de consideración y cuidado.

So, if you want to make your girlfriend feel extra special while she’s on her period, consider buying sanitary pads without her asking you to. Puedes hacerlo antes de que empiece el periodo o durante el mismo.

I’m sure she’ll be so grateful to you for this thoughtful gesture. Pro tip: I also recommend buying her some beautiful flowers to brighten her “period day.”

9. MASAJE

When I’m on my period, the worst thing I have to deal with is lower back pain. Therefore, backrubs and massages are more than welcome during this period.

Ni una sola novia (incluida la tuya) rechazaría jamás un masaje de su novio, sobre todo cuando está con la regla. Darle un masaje le ayudará a relajarse, mejorará su estado de ánimo y aliviará el dolor.

In a nutshell, giving your girlfriend a massage will make her feel better, and, who knows, maybe after that, she’ll be interested in something more (hint: period sex).

Just make sure that you have realistic expectations so that you don’t get disappointed. That’s my #2 most helpful piece of relationship advice.

10. Ayudarla con las tareas y los quehaceres

Doing the dishes while trying to survive period cramps? No, thanks. Doing laundry while on my period? I don’t think so.

When I’m on my period, I postpone doing lots of tasks and chores until I start feeling better. I don’t want to exhaust myself because I need to preserve energy so that I can deal with the period’s challenges.

Mi pregunta para ustedes, queridos hombres: ¿Hay alguna forma mejor de hacer que tu novia se sienta mejor durante la regla que ayudándola con las tareas y los quehaceres?

I bet there isn’t. Instead of just buying her chocolate, offer to help her with chores and everyday tasks. She’ll appreciate it more than you can imagine.

11. Escúchala

Are you still wondering what to do when your girlfriend is on her period? If all else fails, then just listen to her. Just kidding! 😂 You should listen to her regardless.

A las mujeres nos gusta sentirnos comprendidas por nuestros hombres. Permítanme reformular esto: We like to feel understood and heard when we’re on our periods (and also when we’re not).

Just by listening to her, you’re letting her know that you’re there for her. You’ll let her know that you’re not one of those men who run and hide in their man caves when things in life get complicated.

Así que sé un hombre de verdad, cógela de la mano, abrázala y escúchala. No tienes ni idea de lo mucho que esto significa para nosotras durante ese momento del mes. Bueno, ahora lo sabes.

12. Mantenla ocupada con actividades divertidas

Periods are exhausting, and it’s really hard to maintain a good mood for too long. That’s why you should keep your lady occupied with fun activities!

Sólo asegúrate de que estas actividades divertidas no sean cosas que requieran demasiado esfuerzo. For example, going to fancy dinners while she’s on her period is out of the question if you ask me. Board games, video games, drawing, or dancing are acceptable fun activities while on a period.

Juegos de mensajes de texto para parejas are also a great way to keep her occupied and add some fun to the equation. If you’re not really sure which one to choose, then ask her to suggest a few ideas.

13. Ármate de paciencia

This one tip is the most difficult of all because it’s really hard to be patient when your girlfriend is on her period. It hurts you to see her in pain and hacer frente a los cambios de humor. You just want to make these symptoms disappear, but you don’t know how.

Lucky you because periods don’t last forever. Por dura que sea la situación, te sugiero que te armes de paciencia.

Don’t argue with her, and don’t make her feel like she’s difficult to be around (even if this is true).

Here’s something you need to remember every time she’s on her period: Las mujeres a menudo nos sentimos como cargas durante ese Época del mes. We wish we could find a way to make our period symptoms magically disappear, but that’s not possible.

Cuando lo sepas, te resultará más fácil ser paciente con tu chica y saber exactamente qué hacer cuando esté con la regla.

Qué no hacer cuando tu novia tiene la regla

Well, you definitely shouldn’t force her to be social if she doesn’t feel like it, and you shouldn’t discuss serious issues while she’s on her period. Here’s a list of things you should NEVER do when your girlfriend is on her period:

DON’T ask her whether she has PMS

When you ask a woman whether she’s got PMS, she’ll instantly be offended because it feels like you’re accusing her of something that is a biological process, and we have no control over it. So, do yourself a favor and don’t EVER ask her whether she’s PMS-ing (unless you’re in the mood to argue with her, which is not recommended).

Every man knows that asking a woman this question will make her extra sensitive and put her into “crazy woman” mode within seconds.

Don’t play with fire if you don’t want to get burned.

Don’t play with a woman with PMS if you don’t want to make things even worse.

Don’t force her to be a social butterfly

When we’re on our periods, the last thing on our minds is dressing up and being social butterflies. So, don’t force her to be something she doesn’t enjoy being at the moment.

Instead, suggest watching her favorite movies and cuddling on the couch. When she’s not in the mood to do something, don’t judge her for it but show understanding. She’ll appreciate that.

Don’t take things too seriously

Remember that periods last only a couple of days, and it’s a biological process (that can be pretty exhausting). Pase lo que pase durante ese Época del mes, don’t take things too seriously. Comprendo que es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo, pero al menos intenta no tomártelo demasiado en serio.

She might say something she didn’t mean or do something she would never do on normal days, so keep in mind that she’s not doing any of it on purpose.

Don’t discuss serious issues

I’m pretty sure your girlfriend wouldn’t be interested in discussing your financial situation while dealing with terrible cramps. So, stay away from discussing serious issues while she’s on her period.

No podrá darte una respuesta válida y no tendrá energía para discutir sobre algo serio. Por lo tanto, deja esos temas serios para los días normales.

Don’t pretend to be a comedian

I understand that you want to make your girl feel better, but don’t try to be too funny because that will most certainly annoy her. Por ser demasiado gracioso, me refiero a gastar demasiados chistes e intentar hacerla reír constantemente.

Don’t pretend to be a comedian – be her boyfriend. You can try to make her laugh from time to time but don’t force things. If you do, she’ll get annoyed, and your efforts to make her feel better will be in vain.

Buena suerte.

Whenever you’re unsure about what to do when your girlfriend is on her period, it’s better to do nothing than do something you shouldn’t and make things even worse.

Tómate esto como un consejo de una mujer (que también tiene la regla y que sabe lo complicadas que pueden ser las cosas durante esa época del mes).

Don’t worry too much, be patient, and always be prepared for the worst.

I like to compare periods with washing curly hair. You just wash your curly hair and hope for the best because you never know the outcome (how it’s going to look).

When your girlfriend is on her period, sometimes you’ll just do random things and hope for the best. I wish you the best of luck and lots of fun!
