Normally i don't get embarrassed very easily, but today i had my period and everything was fine until about 8:30 when i was in the car with my mom and i felt my period get A LOT heavier. i had a super tampon in so i thought i'd be fine. wrong. i got out of the car and i got it all over the seat! as if that wasn't bad enough, i got out of the car and it started POURING, not dripping, pouring down my leg. i went to go to my room to clean myself up and i had left my keys at my parents' hotel. so i had to call my friend and explain my situation and clean myself up in her room and wait for my mom to bring me my keys.
normally im very private about my period but in this situation EVERYONE knew about it. ugh so embarrassing.
share?
Oh my goooooosh that is like my worst nightmare, so so sorry that happend!
it was AWFUL and miserable, but hey, it can only go up from here
If it's any comfort (and I know it isn't), I went to the bathroom just before church last night...went and sat down...took me 10 min to realise my fly was open, like all the way! Fortunately I noticed BEFORE i got up to do the second reading!! And fortunately I was alone on my bench. Note to self: Change that zipper!

I think loads of women are squeamish about their periods, but most of us get them at some point in our lives and have epic bleeding moments like that. It seems excruciating at the time but we've all been there and we understand :)
<3
have you read the thread where I told about a blood clot flying across the room?
no!!! omg!! please tell!
Yeah I tihink we have all been there. I remember one time I was at work and took Aleve for the terrible cramps I was having (prevegan days). I bleed out whatever I was wearing and my black (thank God) pants were saturated down past my knees in about 45 minutes. To make matters worse, my BF had given me a ride to work to use my car. I couldn't get ahold of him and had to get a ride home from a coworker. I sat on a garbage bad but was terrified I'd mess up her seat. It was awful. Even now I have to empty the Diva about once an hour the first day or so, but I like the fact I can feel it move lower when it is full which makes it easier to tell when I have to empty it.
One of my first periods ever (so I was like....9) I had something like that happen. We were are my brother's soccer game and I fell asleep in the car on a three hour drive. When I woke up I had blood all over my pants. All the way down to my knees on both ends. We were three hours from home at a soccer field. The pad dispensers in the bathroom were out. My mom ended up taking me to a Publix and buying me some super heavy duty pads, but we couldn't do anything about my KHAKI pants. I had to tie my mother's sweater around my waist. It was terrible.
What also sucks is the fact that elementary school bathrooms (at least mine) don't have pad distposal. I used to store the used ones in my backpack.
Non-period related, At my band banquet this year I had my name called out fro a new-member thing, so I individually got up, and tripped myself on my chair, and fell over backwards, pulling the chair on top of myself and knocking my head pretty badly on the floor. I was embarrassed.
I was in the bathroom at school, wiped and some how flung a blood clot under the stall door, across the room and unto the wall next to the sink!

I remember 5th grade was the cut-off for waste disposal in the bathrooms. There were 2 5th grade classes at my school, and one was on the K-4 end and one was on the junior high end (this one had the disposals). I was so thankful I got the Jr. high end 5th grade, because I started right after 5th grade started. And I was sooo embarrassed, because I think I was the first in my grade to start and I kept telling everyone I hadn't yet. I don't know why it was so embarrassing. So, I was pleased that I didn't have to hide them in my backpack.
courth, that's AWFUL!!! wow im sorry!!
lbarte- that also sucks! but im glad im not the only one this happens to
lubi- thats embarrassing, but i nearly just peed myself lauging!!!
vr, i was embarrassed about my period until this past summer. i never talked about it, never wanted to hear about it, anything. now im more comfortable. i think its just when you're little you feel like an alien because of it
I have a REALLYYY good one that no one but my mother and my second grade class knows.
Lol. I've hid this my entire life. But I will tell it because its vw and I don't care.
So. It was PE day and we were playing chinese jump rope. We were wayyy outtt on the other side of the playground away from the school, and I didnt think people were allowed to go to the bathroom because it was far away. And I had to pee SOO BAD. And I told myself I could hold it and toughed it out. Until one point where I laughed and just peed. All over. On the jump rope. Everyone jumped and was like EW LOOK THERES A PUDDLE YOUR STANDING IN A PUDDLE. And I tried to play it off and ran away too and started yelling OH MY GOD THAT PUDDLE EWWW. And then my teacher came over to me and talked to me. Lol. She made my best friend take me to the nurse to get new shorts. I was sooo embarrassed. I hid it from my parents. Oh, even better, when I was changing the principle came in and was like why are you two in here? and my friend told her what happened and then the principal gave me a talk while I was in the bathroom holding my gross shorts.
And, in hopes of no one knowing. I just stuck the shorts and undies in my desk. For like, 2 months until we had to clean them out SO GROSS. I think I threw them away. And at the open house thing at the end of the year my teacher told my parents. I was mortifieddd. And this girl heard the teacher say it and ran up to laugh at me.
Butthead kidsss.
Also, that year was when my teacher had to leave so I got stuck in some random class. and I got stuck in the class without anyone from my old class. So everyone thought i was the weird new girl when this happened.
aw sarah, thats awful!! :/
Oooh! U have a peed my pants story too.
It was when I was 7. I was in second grade and I had undiagnosed diabetes, so I had to pee ALL the time. We obviously didn't know that I had diabetes, and my teacher must have thought I was just going to the bathroom to goof around. She told me I'd gone too many times, so she wouldn't let me go any more that day. I peed myself and started crying, and my mom had to come get me. I was so embarrassed.
i peed in the bed once when my fried was sleeping over...i was also in 10th grade. lmfao.
courth, i bet your teacher felt REALLY bad once you found out you had diabetes and couldnt help needing to go to the bathroom.
Awe Courth =[ Your teacher was being poopy.
I remembered another one!
When I first moved in to my old house, my neighbors came over to play, they were like my age (5 or 6?). And they brought their beanie babies. I was like I HAVE A BEANIE BABY. And got it. We kept throwing them in the air and catching them. And this girl threw hers on the roof. Everyone was all bummed, and my dad got a ladder and was like SOME ONE CATCH IT. This girl caught it. I thought she was a boy. I started screaming HE CAUGHT IT DAD HE CAUGHT IT. And then she was just like, uhm. I'm a girl? And went home really fast. I felt bad. And everyone laughs at me for it still. Haha.
I still feel bad for the girl =/ I had just NEVER seen girls with really short hair.

Totally not your fault. I've always hated when teachers decided how YOUR bladder should work, and I always loved it when kids finally peed their pants in class. I athought the teachers deserved it. Way to take one for the team.
