Please, Please help! Period and bloating???

Question

Okay so i went shopping 3 days ago and bought a pair of jeans. I am usually like a size 2 in jeans but this time i was a size 5 which is big for me. I got my period this morning. Does this mean i should go back and buy the smaller size because i will lose some water weight? Also, How many inches and pounds is average for a female to gain during her period? How many ladies gain weight near the hips too?

Thank you so much! xxo

Answer 1

Yes you should lose water weight. I usually gain 5lbs or so when I get my period, when its over you lost that excess water...my tummy gets really bloated.

Yeah, if you still have the tags on I'd take them back. Wait until your period is completely finished though because you'll not your normal size until it's finished.

I read somewhere you weren't really meant to buy anything, especially underwear, while on your period because on some woman your size can change quite drastically.
