The menstrual flow itself can last anywhere from two days to a week, with the average being four days. Spotting that occurs before your period generally does not count as part of the menstrual flow; only actual bleeding counts. It's normal for women in their teens and 20s to have slightly longer cycles, for women in their 30s to have shorter cycles, and for women in their mid-40s to 50s to have shorter cycles still. If yours varies wildly from month to month and you've had your period for longer than two or three years, it would be a good idea to see a doctor to make sure that you're not suffering from hormonal imbalances. Count up the number of days between the first day of your period and the first day of the subsequent period. That number is your cycle length. For most women, it's 28 days, but a normal cycle can range from 25 to 35 days. Note the first and last days of your period on a calendar. This way, you can estimate when your next period might come. Most women's periods come every 28 days, but if you keep track of your periods, you can determine what length your own cycle is. Consider using an online application like MyMonthlyCycles, MyMenstrualCalendar, or an app on your phone like Period Tracker. This kind of technology is great for helping your keep track of your period from the ease of your mobile phone. Set up a Google calendar event and send yourself a reminder around the time your next period is scheduled. That way, you can write it down in the calendar when your period actually comes and compare the two dates. This will help you learn your body's normal cycle variances, as well as reminding you to be on the lookout for your period when it is scheduled to come.

To be feminine, you can still curse and raise your voice sometimes, but you must speak more politely. Part of being feminine is speaking clearly, being considerate, and knowing what you want to say. A lady says, "It's a little chilly today," rather than "I'm freezing my butt off!" You don't have to change the way you think or all of the things you ordinarily talk about to be feminine. Many woman are told that woman should be seen and not heard, but femininity is about confidence. Giving fake compliments is catty, not feminine. A lady should be able to find something kind or complimentary to say or make a person feel special and important by pointing out something that he or she is doing well. You can say something as simple as, "I love your dress. It matches your eyes perfectly." or "You're so great at piano. How long have you been playing?" Take a sincere interest in a person and find a small way to show that you're paying attention. You don't have to go overboard. Just give a compliment whenever the mood strikes you. If you want to be feminine, then avoid bragging about your accomplishments, talking about how amazing you look or generally showing off. A truly feminine person is confident enough in her looks and abilities to let other people figure out how amazing she is. You don't have to be so humble that you can't take a compliment or never talk about your achievements, but avoid doing anything that may come off as bragging or making you seem a little full of yourself. A truly feminine person doesn't need to show off for the compliments to come. A feminine person isn't rude, off-putting or generally mean to anyone around her. Even if you're hanging around someone you don't like very much, you should avoid being openly combative or hostile. Instead, smile, be polite and limit your contact with the person as much as you can. A feminine woman also says "Please," and "Thank you" whenever it's necessary. Being polite doesn't mean you're restricted from talking about certain topics. Just ton't talk about anything overly vulgar, curse too much or bring up inappropriate topics in the wrong company. A feminine person feels compassion for other people, knows how to sympathize with people and says the right thing when they're trying to help someone. Know how to say things like, "I'm so sorry you're feeling that way," "I can't imagine how hard that is for you," or "Please let me know if there's anything I can do." A feminine woman knows how to recognize when someone is feeling upset, whether it's a dear friend or a small child and knows how to make that person feel better. While you're saying comforting words, you should also behave in a comforting manner. Don't be afraid to put your arm around the person or to use your body language to show how sympathetic you are if it's appropriate.
