Battling Girl Problems

Girl problems suck. Don’t get us wrong. Being a girl is one of the most liberating feelings in the world. We have the power of words, we’re strong, and we’re independent and free. But, being a girl does come with its fair share of side effects that men seem to escape, but definitely feel the brunt of. A lot of women actually find it really hard to deal with some of the things that we’re going to talk about, so we’ve gathered some tips to help you battle the problems we unfortunately face as girls.

Periods
Let’s cut to the chase and start right at the deep end. Periods suck. Right from the moment you have your first one, until the time when menopause hits us, we’re stuck with the dreaded periods. Thankfully, we can control them with the use of the contraceptive pill, injections, or implant. But they all come with risks, so controlling and dealing with them naturally should be your first port of call. For one, the debate about whether tampons or pads are better has long gone one. Tampons are more discreet, cleaner, and leave you feeling more protected. Lola tampons review shows some of the main reasons why they’re the best. However, the only downside to them is the way they have to be inserted. Some people just can’t get the hang of it, find them uncomfortable, or panic thinking something is going to go wrong. For those of you with this, pads are definitely the better option. To battle the mood swings and cravings whilst on a period, our best advice is just to ride it out and embrace them. If you’re craving a tub of icecream, eat that tub of ice cream. If you want to go in a mood with your partner because they didn’t surprise you with a tub of ice cream after hinting all day, you go in that mood. Stay snuggled up in bed with a hot water bottle and some paracetamols to ride out the pain.

Insecurities
This is something that most women suffer with often. We’re so insecure about our bodies due to the social pressure to look perfect. But there is so true definition of perfect, and we’re all beautiful in our own unique way. The sooner we stop comparing ourselves to others, the sooner we should have fewer insecurities. But there are some things that are hard to ignore, and the worst thing we do as women is try and cover them up. The sooner you accept who you are as a person, and embrace your flaws. The happier you’re going to be!

Relationship Troubles
It is a common misconception that girls struggle with relationships more. Whilst we do put all our emotions on the table, boys are internally struggling sometimes to. But, the main thing to do here is always make sure you’re happy in your relationship. If there’s any doubt or negativity in your mind you should always up and leave. The saying that there’s always someone better out there is so true when it comes to finding the perfect relationship.
