One of the most common pains women experience, menstrual cramps, are often debilitating and can prevent many women from engaging in work or leisure activities.  

While there are many resources for relieving period pain at home, it can be difficult to manage these when out and about. Luckily, many of the common home remedies can be adapted for pain relief on-the-go.

On-the-Go Period Pain Relief

With a combination of relaxation, dietary, and portable drug-free solutions like the Livia, you can quickly ease period pain and get back to your daily activities.

Learn about the best methods for relieving period pain on-the-go:

Deep breathing

A simple way to relieve period pain, deep breaths can help reduce muscle cramps by flooding your blood with oxygen.

Apply pressure to reflexology pressure points

There are a variety of discreetly accessible pressure points, such as the spot that’s 4 finger widths below your naval which you can use to reduce menstrual cramping.

Drink lots of water

One of the most basic period relief tips, drinking lots of water is one of the easiest to do while out and about. Carry a water bottle with you or keep one at your desk to stay hydrated all day long.

Take the stairs or a walk down the hall

Exercise is a well-known natural pain reliever as it helps your body produce endorphins. It is also easy to do on-the-go by taking the stairs or getting up for a quick walk during your breaks.

Use maxi-pads instead of tampons

Although tampons are common and convenient, they are known to irritate the cervixes of some women, causing aggravated cramping. If your cramps are intense, it may help to switch to maxi-pads for a day to alleviate pain-causing irritation.

Opt for potassium rich foods

Grabbing a banana or other potassium rich foods on your way out the door is an easy way to relieve period pain. Not only does this provide you a tasty snack, but the potassium also helps you stay hydrated and relieves muscle cramps.
