Can I ride a rollercoaster on my period?

There is no danger from it. Ok, if you suffer from a lot of pain etc it might make it less enjoyable, but that's what pain meds are for. As long as you have a good enough pad to regulate your flow, and as long as you enjoy it, go for it! There is nothing you “can't do” when you have your period.
