The world doesn't wait around for our first day of period to be over. Life goes on and sometimes we have to get out of bed and deal with life. During the first couple of days sometimes walking is a struggle, not to mention our mental health that goes down the drain.
Besides not being in the mood to pick out an outfit, our bloated tummies can't handle high-waisted pants and tight uncomfortable fits. We wanted to gather for you some options for comfy, first/second day period outfit ideas for when your cycle begins.
We also wanted to make sure it's not all sweatpants and tracksuits. Sometimes we have places to go to and we want to feel good about ourselves, the bloating is enough to ruin our self esteem. Besides throwing on sunglasses to hide the puffy period face and breakouts, you can try out jumpsuits or dungarees. They give you the easy breeziness of a dress but with a little more support and comfort.
If your first days are like the opening of flood gates, you can avoid dresses and anything white. You can dress up in full on active wear with yoga pants and a comfy tee, but if you have an important event coming up, you can try a chic, flowy, nonrestrictive dress like the one in slide 19 worn by Noha el Sherbiny.
Check out these style ideas below to make your period days more comfortable and better looking.
