• make sure he is very comfortable and very warm
• make sure he’s wearing just his underwear (panties or briefs, no boxers) and a loose t-shirt. It may be tough, but make him comfortable enough to get out of his binder as that will make him throw up/hurt more
• make sure he has chocolate (dark chocolate works best)
• no caffeine. Hot decaf tea is amazing
• keep them drinking hot liquids for as long as possible. 
• Rub their tummies, put a good amount of pressure, like hand kneading dough, in the space beneath their belly button
• hot rice bags. 
• put all of their blankets in the dryer before bed
• kiss their faces a lot, do this tenderly and softly
• make sure that they feel masculine and okay. This is a big reminder that their bodies are wrong and that they are not in the right place. You are the right place for them to be, so you have to make sure they are feeling safe and secure, mentally and physically
• If they can, keep them walking/working out. Walking relieves cramps, as does sit ups. If the pain is too much this is not possible.
• make sure they eat. A lot of people on their periods do not feel hungry but they need to eat something. Make sure it’s a light and not too filling meal so it doesnt give them a stomach ache
