taking a bath when you have a period can make you crazy.

First myth - a girl should jump over the 3 steps of the stairs so that her menstruation period will only last for 3 days every month. =) Second myth - you should wipe your face with your blood-stained undies so that you will not get pimples...ewww! =)

Using the first menses to wash your face to prevent pimples. Alternatively, using a whole egg and rolling it raw on your face on the first day of menses will help the skin remain smooth. Jumping from a specified number of steps on the stairs will determine the number of days your period lasts. Having intercourse during your period will not get your pregnant.

Don't give your boyfriend a pair of slippers or shoes. It means you are going to underestimate your guy throughout your relationship. If you do, your boyfriend should give you 1 peso coin. You have to keep it. Don't ever use it. It will make your relationship balance and will also give a balance treatment for each other.

Do not let someone put his or her head on your lap when you have your period. It will make the person bald in the near future.

You shouldn’t exercise or do strenuous activities during your period.

every woman's cycle should be 28 days long.
