12. Swimming during your period
There is nothing hygienic about swimming during your period as you are likely to leak blood into the water while swimming. Although the pressure in the water stops the menstrual flow, if you laugh, cough, sneeze or move around, a small amount of blood can escape.
13. Walk barefoot during your period
To spare your uterus from all kinds of pain, try to stay warm in the days before your period. As it is your extremities that carry the cold sensation to the rest of your body, cover them more than you should. This means: pilou socks are allowed in bed!
