text: is there a way to shorten or skip your period? i heard of some way or pills that you can make your period into 3 days. do you guys noe what that is? or is there any other way that i can shorten iit or skip my period in a safe way? i have to go swimming everyday and i hate it when it comes cuz my dad always making me go swimming. like dude, how do i go if im on my period. shit and i can't tell my dad that im on my period. shit. and i don't trust tampons. they either leak or too risky. so is there any way to make my period not come so often , to shorten it, or to just simply skip it?  thanks certain birth control pills will lessen the effects and shorten the length of your period.  also you can safely skip a period by not taking the "sugar pills" (the pills you take when you having your period when you are on birth control).
