1. Don't put a pad on boxers! It doesn't work and makes a mess

2. To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//

3. Don't beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you're body is doing something, but that's okay, it's not your fault and it doesn't make you less valid!

4. If your (chest) starts to hurt, don't bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it's that time of the month, listen to your body, don't push yourself!

5. Treat yourself to some chocolate!

6. Tea!!! It's so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps! End ID].
