When asked if they use a painkiller, most of them responded ‘occasionally’. When asked when was most uncomfortable time during their period, ‘one week before the period’ was most responded, followed by ‘beginning of the period’ and ‘throughout the period’. They reported that they do not feel this discomfort after their period. In terms of their interest in beauty by menstrual cycle, it was higher after than before menstruation.
