Menstrual cramps can be overwhelmingly painful and uncomfortable. Some helpful tips from Academy students on how to ease the discomfort include:

Isabella Onken (‘18) says, “I suggest Midol medicine, then lie down in bed with a heating pad on. Have your favorite snack with you and watch your favorite show for at least an hour, then the pain should subside.” 

Natalie Gillis (’22) says, “I watch a movie and snack on bark thins if I can. It makes the pain less noticeable.”
