Massages and periods
So I feel really embarrassed having to come on here and ask this but I feel like if I don’t calm down my nerves the massage will just be pointless.
So I got me and my mom massage vouchers for Mother’s Day and our appointment is tomorrow, it’s a 60 minute Swedish massage with a 30 minute foot massage. This is no way my first massage as I’ve been getting them at least once or twice a year for the last 4 years but this is the first time I’m on my period when I’ll be having one. And one of the main issues that I’m nervous about is I don’t like tampons, they’ve always been uncomfortable to me and especially when I have a light flow like I do now, I prefer panty liners. Is it fine to go get a massage while wearing a panty liner? Should I suck it up and use a tampon for the hour and a half? If I do use a panty liner or even if I don’t and I do use a tampon should I give the person doing my massage a heads up that I’m on my period? I’m not a very comfortable person with talking about things like my period so it would definitely be embarrassing for me but I also don’t want to make whoever is doing it uncomfortable either so I’d push aside that embarrassment.
