- My ride is currently under construction: This is a good phrase that can be used wisely when your boyfriend tries to get down below your belt. As soon as you speak this phrase, your boyfriend will understand that he needs to wait until your periods get over to enjoy his favorite ride.
- Do not feel offended if your guy shies away from the conversation: Periods are something that has been mysterious and intimidating to most of the boys. So whenever you talk about it, chances are there that he may start blushing and just simply say “Oh it’s okay”.
However, if your boyfriend starts making fun of you in that conversation, then he needs to fix up his problem because he is acting like an immature kid. You should not feel offended by such behavior of your guy.
Rather you can make him understand that getting periods is very normal and it is a part of every woman’s life and even after this if he doesn’t understand, then you must accept the fact that you are dating a little kid. You can straight away tell him that you are not going to date a little and immature boy.
- Telling your partner in a straight forward way: If you have a good bond with your boyfriend then you don’t need to be clinical or descriptive about your periods. Chances are there that your partner is already aware of it through his past girlfriends, so there is nothing to worry about and tell him freely.
So what you need to do is simply tell him “hey my periods just started” and I am not feeling so great about it. Otherwise, you can say “Oh, its that time of the month” and most probably he will get it.
- Avoid using indirect terms: Sometimes using words like “Aunt Flo”, “Monthly visitor”, etc. that refers to your periods can be confusing for your boyfriend. Chances are high that your guy does not have any idea about the meaning of these words and this can lead to a misunderstanding.
So, when you choose to tell him about your periods then make sure that you use simple language.

You may also ask him to not disclose it to anyone if you want it to be a personal matter. I am sure your boyfriend will understand your situation.
