*realistic* Period Day In My Life ❤️ | Endometriosis Update, Cravings, Cramps, Tips | Lauren Norris

[@ashleyhumphreys-iw1jr]

I think these types of conversations are SO important! There are so many young girls out there who might not have anyone to talk to, and hearing older girls talk about these things they might have questions about can be a big help. Thank you so much for always being open and vulnerable and willing to share so much with us. Also, I love chit-chat videos! ❤

[@JB-vd8bi]

So agree. It being taboo is damaging. We also need to have conversations about peri and menopause

[@eliseharren4897]

Yes!! 100 percent we need more girl talk videos

[@ashleyhumphreys-iw1jr]

@@JB-vd8bi Exactly! Periods are a NORMAL occurrence. Why make it something that should be kept to a hush or seen as 'embarrassing?'

[@rubywaite6311]

❤ I love to you period videos. Can you please make more? Because I think it's good for people to understand more about what having a period feels like and learn how other people can manage there pain and tips of what to do on a woman's period. ❤

[@haleyy609]

You talking about pads is SO APPRECIATED.

[@gabrielle4903]

I’m so glad you spoke out about pads. I stopped using tampons after having my first baby 1.5 years ago and it’s been so freeing lol. I’ll never go back! Pads feel A MILLION times comfier and safer ❤️

[@melissaschopp7724]

I did the same thing after I had my son 2 years ago. I will never go back to tampons, plus it's cheaper to use pads.

[@lkylaurenkay]

thank you for being real and exposing the not so glam side of yourself..Many girls need to see this... I am 50 and love your videos but I have teenage girls who struggle with heavy periods and debilitating pain..

[@sophiachowdhury408]

Your videos are actually so relaxing to watch

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Glad you think so! This is such a big compliment 🥹💞

[@RiannaNicole]

I love this big sister vibes, despite being 30 myself. I love how brave and honest and open you are with this stuff. My stepsis went through her own health journey and finally got her own diagnosis (not endo)and her strength through it along with yours, is something giving me hope and all the optimistic vibes for us women getting actually heard.

[@clairenovak11]

Thank you for sharing this type of content!! I cannot believe there is still such a stigma surrounding menstrual health in general, so seeing the title “period day in my life” makes my heart so happy!

[@corahageman6169]

I just need to say that thank you so much for making this video and showing how normal it is to talk about your period. It is so taboo and disgusting for some people but i always thought that was so weird of people to say. I have never been able to wear tampons, and pads always made me itch so i started this year with reusable cotton pads and personally they work for me so much better, they make my period so much bearable. I have never had a problem as big as endometriosis but i have had a really heavy flow and bad cramps. A few years ago, i started on birth control pills and that made it also a lot more bearable. I love your videos and have an awesome December Lauren!

[@kelsiebug]

You posted your endo story the day I saw an OBGYN who confirmed all my symptoms line up with endo… I got home from that appointment and saw your video, it made me feel a little less alone💕 Thank you for being bold. Getting my diagnostic surgery in the new year!!!

[@talia9379]

This is why I am such an avid watcher on youtube & ig! You are still the most relatable creator out there. Thanks for advocating for things that women have been told we should not talk about! And also just so happy for you that you are finding peace (physically and mentally) in your health journey. I can't imagine the pain you went through for years! Also I love the cat content lol

[@kenziedaven1649]

My surgery is tomorrow morning 🥰 thank you for speaking out about this

[@turtles02]

Hey Lauren, long time silent watcher here. I love your videos and I just got diagnosed with endometriosis during my tubal ligation surgery. Periods are not disgusting, it’s a normal human thing.

[@dani23dani85]

What symptoms were you having if you don’t mind sharing

[@AshleyAEgerton-c8i]

Hi Lauren my name is Ashley Egerton I live in Maryland and I I’ve never ever had endometriosis but when I was your age in my 20s, I had the most horrific horrible cramps during my menstrual cycle so I know how you feel that way, but you’re in my prayers with your end endometriosis you are a brave girl. God bless you.

[@valeriecasados]

Thank you for being so open about your endometriosis experience!!!

[@TheLaurenNorris]

You are so welcome!🫶🏼💞

[@maddieadams220]

On the topic of pads/tampons, I’ve always been a pad girlie, but recently switched to a disc. BEST DECISION EVER. I use the Flex reusable one, and it’s so nice. It does have a learning curve, and can be a bit intimidating, but it’s amazing once you get the hang of it. Highly recommend!

[@Beautycomesoutofashes]

Is it sore?

[@addiemontgomery4559]

i love that your so open about things that are considered taboo. your helping so many people right now! hope your doing well lauren

[@kellyandthehorses2877]

Thank for shining a light on endometriosis. So many of us suffer, doctors aren't always helpful and ppl can't see the pain. Endometriosis can majorly affect your life. I suffered for 20ish years, wasn't caught until major damage was done. Im better now but will have other problems bc of not getting dx or being able to have surgery.

[@Stazib98]

Will is such a sweetie takin care of you. ❤️

[@dhruvilovej]

Thank you for being so honest! And opening the conversations around periods. We this now more then ever

[@Kyezcandies]

Thank you soo much for being transparent and just overall a girl's girl. We love how open and honest you always are🩷🩷🩷

[@simoonivanderwesthuizen2777]

Can I just say that I really enjoy watching your videos Lauren.. Even on my really bad days your spirit just makes me feel so much better.. I have been dealing with bad periods for 19years now.. Have been suspected of endometriosis just nog diagnosed yet, hopefully getting the surgery next year.. Have severe symptoms and also not working at the moment.. So really, your videos are amazing.. I haven't been following you very long but when I needed feel-good videos on KZbin for dealing with all this for so long, it's nice to know that I'm not alone and that there's so many others going through the same thing.

[@Melissa_Hoffman]

So glad to see I am not the only one who has to have in bed days around this time! I get so hard on myself and feel like I should suck it up and get up but it is so refreshing to know we all go through it! Love ya Lauren! ❤❤❤

[@lachlanandrews3596]

I hope your endometriosis recovery is going well, Lauren! And I hope you take care always. God bless you!

[@elizabethgail12]

THANK YOU! I am so so grateful for you talking about this! (I also get SO hot on my period! I started wearing a pad recently for the majority of time and it’s changed the game for me! )

[@caitlynv1167]

Really appreciate your willingness to talk about periods without shame; it is much needed. Highly recommend checking out period underwear as an alternative to pads. I've found them to be SO much more comfortable (and just better; cause they won't move the way pads do). Can be pricey investment up front, but they're washable so long term, save lots of money. Sometimes the concept makes people hesitant but tbh, as soon as I tried them I never looked back.

[@caitlynv1167]

❣❤❤❤

[@xokelseyxo9238]

Hi, Lauren! Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing this with your viewers. ❤

[@kimnull5390]

Thank you for sharing your story Lauren. I just use pads and I just find it more comfortable for me

[@kristinafarnam917]

I'm new here but I am soo glad more of us are talking about our periods an not being afraid of something that is natural for women, I also suffer with endometriosis have been since teenage years an I am now 34, I've always been afraid to talk about the personal things but now I feel it's time to discuss it with my doctor an do something about it, thank you for encouraging younger women to ask questions an talk about it with their doctor an their parents bc I wouldn't want my daughter to ever suffer this pain or be scared or ashamed.

[@morganwalsh4102]

Thank you so much for speaking out on this. I have been following you for so long and I was diagnosed with endo abiout a month before you shared with us you had it. You made me feel so comforted that I wasn't going through it alone. I just had surgery in May.

[@shaynawade9075]

Thank you so much for sharing this video, I had no idea that you had endometriosis and I just recently had an endometriosis cyst removed that was wrapped around my ovary. Knowing that people all around have similar problems and talking about it helps me to be less scared and feel more normal about it. ♥️

[@lanayagoreil2254]

Thank you for making this video! Brilliant! I can say that I have always struggled with my period 😢 Mine are super painful. I usually get a lot of pain in the normal spots like abdomen and lower back but weirdly enough also the right thigh (which I know reading this will sound odd) but after researching its apparently common to have pain in your thighs. I used to use heat during my period but after speaking with my doctor who also struggles she recommended using an ice pack (which makes sense as it reduces inflammation and actually can decrease blood flow to numb any pain) but the heat helps with relaxing the muscles. For anyone struggling with cramps and hasn’t tried an ice pack, I highly recommend trying! Love you Lauren! Can’t wait to see all the tips that you suggest/others post 😊

[@haleyguyrn7883]

A game changer for me on my period is wear adult/women diapers to bed! I know it sounds silly but going to bed not having to worry about leaking and they are so comfy. They also make cute designed ones! 🤍

[@Emma_Rich32]

Lauren I really appreciate that you went out of your way and made this video I means the world to me I don’t have a big sister to be talking about these kinds of things with. I am so glad that you treat us like you’re our older sister. I have watched every one of your videos since the first one.

[@theperiodhippie]

Lauren, these are exactly the kind of videos that we need to see! I want to thank you for taking the step forward and speaking up both about women's healthcare and periods both of which SHOULD NOT be taboo topics. I feel as though not many use pads and they are deemed against. Therefore, I personally think when you are experiencing something that is completely natural you need to do what works best for you, because periods are not easy, especially for some. I speak up strongly for women's rights and period poverty. Though I want to pose this as a warning to everyone who experiences a period be careful of what products you are using as many of them (especially big brand names) have very harmful chemicals in them which in long term harm our health. This also comes more personally as I have always struggled with my periods and similar women's health issues. It feels so good to hear other stories about women having the same problems. On the internet it can be painted a pretty picture when most of the time it is not. Thank you for be honest and raw!

[@mistycuz2011]

Yesss this is what I needed!! On day two currently and this was so cozy and relaxing. I’m so happy things have gotten a bit better for you since surgery. You have yourself a good egg. My husband will set up my heating pad, pillow, snacks for me to just go lay down and rest.

[@cfodel]

Huge props for tackling this subject! I wish I had you for a friend when I still had periods.

[@Sassysakura1]

Thank you so much for this video! I have my endometriosis consultation today and I am so nervous but I am so happy to finally get help!

[@nancystephens2530]

❤Feel better soon Lauren and thank you so much for sharing this! I have always been self conscious about my period but it’s always reassuring to listen to and/or talk to other women about it.❤

[@SonnetCarter-zp8fm]

Thank you so much for posting this!! I love these tips for how you handle your period and it's just so helpful

[@jlover7787]

The period discs are worth a try! There is a slight learning curve but I found it worth it!

[@PeaceLoveRats]

❤❤❤❤❤ love that you are comfortable sharing stuff and giving voice to topics that aren’t always spoken about. Hope you feel better and cooler soon!!! 💕✨❄️💫

[@JB-vd8bi]

These conversations are important and we need to carry it into peri and menopause

[@JB-vd8bi]

The pad judgement is wild. It's not my preference but I can't imagine being rude about someone else's preference. Some people experience period poverty. Sheesh.

[@JB-vd8bi]

I love tea. A lemon balm, chamomile, mint blend is so soothing for me

[@rachelsparks8550]

I am obsessed with this pink room💕🎀

[@margauxreydon]

omg needed this!! a much needed break from finals!

[@emilyamerson577]

Hey Lauren! I just wanna say thank you! I am currently in the process of finding a doctor (already on number two) trying to figure out if I have endo. I have had similar symptoms since middle school. This journey is stressing me out and I’m very nervous. Your videos have helped me not feel so alone on this journey. Thank you so much for posting about your journey and being a voice for others! 💖💛

[@alyssahoce812]

Ah! I’m so early for a video! Hope you’re doing okay Lauren, love your videos, they give me so much comfort 🫶🏻

[@TheLaurenNorris]

Glad you like them! So happy you’re here🥹🫶🏼💞

[@juhsticka]

Omg the pain is unbearable and I love that you're sharing this because so many of us suffer

[@idenisseventura5054]

Great video! These conversations are greatly needed for young girls. I found your channel by your endo-video, I am glad you are doing much better. I am having surgery tomorrow for fibroids that have been killing me slowly for many years along with so many symptoms, I am not sure if I have endometriosis, some doctors do not inform things and let us suffer making us think everything is normal. We women have to talk more, get information, ask questions. Weird symptoms are Not normal. We have to speak loudly about it. By the way, Iove love your pink aesthetic🩷 I myself have a few things pink/neutral and I love the girly vibe.

[@ayami7719]

so meaningful content❤ i’m really sure that everyone has their own hardship/struggle so knowing that really makes me feel better and okay having hardship/struggle…🙂 That’s why we need to be kind to each other and make our lives easier, better and happier🫶🏼 People like you can spread the importance and change others heart🩷 Love you all the time!!!

I wish I had more people talking about this growing up, when I started at 10 I was shoved a pad by my Step Momma and told to move on with my day. Lol! You're one of the best Lauren! ❤

[@marymarks7046]

❤ I'm so glad you shared your day when dealing with your period. Every girl is different and remember take good care of yourself to all thr gitliex out there

[@Martu90011]

Hi Lauren!❤ I recommend you look for the difference between the one you take and ibuprofen (this is better for these cases) 🥰

[@maddieluv991]

I wear pads all the time. People think im crazy but even growing up my mom tried tampons & hated them & she told me that I don’t have to feel pressured to ever even try them. Also, PCOS girly ❤ really appreciate this video & the vulnerability

[@jenniferjean1993]

I have endometriosis too I was diagnosed last year in November by mid-year this year my symptoms started to pop up again I was actually looking around for youtubers who struggle with it and that's how I found your channel even though you are younger than me I love that I found your channel and we both love cats and pink so I knew I had to subscribed

[@Tatted_42097]

❤ I love your videos ❤

[@KateDanae-f9u]

Thank you so much for making this video! I have my excision surgery in January and this is giving me even more hope as I FINALLY get actual treatment at age 31. I can empathize with your endo belly experience prior to surgery. I literally cannot wear denim at all and feel limited most days in what even feels comfortable to wear. 1) would you ever consider doing a video on endo fashion and strategizing cute but comfortable outfits for flare days or when you’re literally sizes larger than normal? 2) how soon after your surgery could you wear jeans or normal clothes without feeling uncomfortable? Thank you again for using your platform and experiences to give women resources and words for their experience!

[@DeehanGay]

❤️. Hang in there girl. I love these chilled relaxed chat times.

[@amydurbin7665]

I have endometriosis, too. I did not know that I had it until I was in my 30s but it explained so many symptoms I had for years before. Periods were the worst. I am glad you have gotten some relief with your surgery. Take care of yourself. ❤

[@lorenarochax]

I sooooo appreciate you opening up and talking about such topics! 🥺🙏🏼 Wish more people would do it tho… makes me so proud to give views and like someone like you. Hope you get so much bigger and people get to see there are still real people around here 💖

I look forward to watching your videos every week ❤

[@TheLaurenNorris]

You're the best! I am so grateful I get to share my life with you!!

[@sydneymichelle4376]

I like to use pads when I sleep at night because it's comfortable for me. My friends criticized me and told me how disgusting it was. I still do it. It's comfortable for me and I use the Honey Pot ones that smell AMAZING... For while I thought of myself as "disgusting" because they told me that. I'm glad you mentioned this.

[@Sweet21Princess]

NO CAUSE MY PERIOD LITERALLY CAME ON TODAY 😭😭 also, luv youuuu❤❤❤

[@theashleybclay]

Thank you for bringing attention to this horrible disease. I've been struggling with it since I was 18 years old. (I was diagnosed before there were "stages" and found I would have been diagnosed at a Stage 4 after learning more about that.) I'll be looking into the group you mentioned partnering up with, as I'd love to know how I can get more involved in bringing awareness and helping others. 💗💗

[@bettyjoyowens]

I physically cannot wear tampons, so I understand the judgements from “friends” about pads sadly. I have found that as I’ve gotten older, it was definitely a them problem, not me. I appreciate your openness!

[@bradypreston8472]

Your videos are so relaxing!

[@samyerinn]

This made me feel so seen and heard ❤❤❤ I know something isn’t right with my body when it comes to this topic but doctors never listen

[@TheLaurenNorris]

I am so sorry🥺 if you think you have endo, I would highly suggest seeing an endo specialist. No other Dr took me seriously

[@samyerinn]

@ that sounds expensive 🥹 I’ll have a look into it

[@emmajones3991]

I have my period for 15 years now and I have only used tampons when I was training in swimming. I have always been a pad user otherwise because I find it more comfortable, convenient to use. I also have extremely heavy flows where even the largest tampons in my supermarket can’t hold nearly enough flow as 1 pad could.

[@emersonleger7018]

❤ Love your videos as always Lauren!!

[@AshleyMarie2.0]

Periods are the WORST.. nothing gross about this video at all! I had a doctor tell me years ago I had endo and she would have to cut me up to see because she said she couldn’t really know for certain (after that blunt of a comment, I found a new gyno). I got a second opinion the doctor was great he actually delivered my daughter. Said pregnancy can actually help with endo symptoms .. it did really help over time and it hasn’t been as bad..fast forward my daughter is almost 3, I still have painful periods (more so recently within the last 6 months), being a woman is TOUGH my best friends and I talk about it all the time based on where we are at in our cycles because it’s so real! Also.. ovira is helpful as well as heating pads for ovary and endo pain. So unfortunate what us women go through! Great video.. loved the McDonald’s! Us women have to unite 😂😂❤

[@Kaya084]

I haven’t had a period in almost 10 years due to my birth control. But from the age of 11, when I first started my period, to 30, when I got Nexplanon, I only ever used pads. I was never a fan of tampons, but I did always feel embarrassed if someone found out that I used pads instead of tampons. I always had a very heavy first couple of days and then it would lighten over the next couple, my periods usually lasted about 4 days. But conversations like these are important to make more mainstream, to where people aren’t embarrassed to talk about it.

[@T-swizzle08]

I hope you feel better soon Lauren. May your day be as bright as your smile. 💖✨

[@deborahbrown206]

just an FYI, my periods started when I was in secondary school in the mid 80s, we had the *thick* pads, no wings, but they did stick to your knickers, then I experimented with the lillets - the applicator-less tampon - the less said the better! and then moved on to the standard tampons in my late teens through to adulthood, with the pad for insurance. Since being diagnosed with crohn's and the fun of those cramps, my periods were horrendous, I got even more anemic [which could be a cause for the excess fatigue BTW], I tried the cup - not great, kept sucking my cervix down and it felt really freaky! I've moved back onto pads - sticking them back to front because I forward flow rather than flow towards the rear and the coverage is better. But the change from the 'cool' and 'trendy' tampons and cups back to the teenage pads can feel like you've been defeated by the period, which is completely not true. We women should be doing what works for us, period. And not what is trendy in Cosmo etc. we have so many more options now than we did in the 80s, I was afraid that I'd have to get the period belt and hook the pad onto that - which was what I was told were my options if I didn't use the new-fangled stick-it-to-your-knickers pad! So you do you Lauren - you rock! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@salem_whimsy]

Have you ever considered using reusable products? I use the hello disc and will never go back to tampons. They are much safer too.

[@TheLaurenNorris]

I have, but they aren’t comfortable for me💞
