Cramps, unbearable pain, breast tenderness, bloating, continuous bleeding for days, and acne breakouts are some of the many symptoms and repercussions of being on a period. And a woman goes through all of this for the majority part of her life. Can you imagine that?
On top of it, some women have to do all the chores, cook for their families, take public transport to work, and do all this and more.
Having said that, there are some men who acknowledge this discomfort and try to make their partner’s periods less painful by doing little acts of kindness.
Men of Reddit shared the special things they do for their women when they are menstruating after someone posed this question on the ‘Ask Men’ subreddit of the app:
