Just wear a tampon!Many women have gone on vacation with their period. The world does not end. They take tampons and Midol and have fun!I went on a Caribbean cruise with my period, I'm still here, the world still went on, and I had a blast. I used tampons and Midol and, though my cramps are usually horrible, I had no issues because I was too busy having fun.lThere is no way to make it come faster or have it be shorter right now, its way too late. Now if you asked this two months ago, we'd suggest you talk to your doctor about birth control, which helps give you shorter lighter periods.Too late now.
