We all know that jeans are a staple part of our wardrobe that we will never need to get rid of, and that is why they are a good choice during this "moody time." It is best to go for jeans that are dark-colored and are not skinny, as most of us are worried about bright colors during our periods. Look for jeans that are comfortable for you and will fit you well, and make sure your pad, tampon or menstrual cups stays in place. We always try to avoid any sort of wedgie or that pad moving and we try to fix it, yes we've all been there, not our best time for sure.

Okay, we've all had small leaks at some point in our lives, and it's completely normal. If you're always afraid of this happening, you can opt for patterned pants, which help camouflage any sort of unpleasant accidents. Most patterned pants are made of comfortable materials, and some have adjustable elastic waists that you can adjust to your liking.
If you are using a menstrual cup for the first time and are worried about leakage, I recommend wearing it with patterned pants. This will help to cover up any incident, and if you need pants with a tighter fabric, such as jeans, you can wear one that is patterned instead of cotton. But don't forget to always keep it in dark colors so you don't have to worry all the time.

Leggings were once so trendy that you'd see everyone wearing them to any sort of outing or event, but we have to admit they're super comfortable, which is why they're perfect for this time of the month. If you don't want the bulge of your pads to show, pair it with an oversized tee. If you're worried about stains, wrap a shirt around your waist for a stylish look.
And if you're not a pad girl and prefer tampons, leggings are the best option because you don't have to worry about your pad showing or not. Another comfortable option is joggers, which are your new bestie for the next couple of days if you're not a big fan of leggings and want something with the same level of comfort while wearing a tampon.
