Funny stories about your period

I've known about periods since I was 4-5 years old, however, when I got my first period in 5th grade I didn't understand I was experiencing menarche because I thought I wasn't supposed to start menstruating before the age of 14 (since that's the age my mom got her first period). I thought I had gotten hurt while playing or was deadly sick, so I ended up hiding it from my mom for a few days before telling her about it.

Also, this is not related to any specific incident, but I've noticed that dogs seem to become incredibly interested in sniffing my crotch whenever I'm on my period and I always end up having to feign them off

Had an imperforate hymen, so my first period was actually several of them, and a whole lot of mucus.

The "funny" story was when I couldn't get my menstrual cup to seal properly when I first got it, took me too many tries to actually get the hang of it.

I remembered a story my mom told me about a girl she knew back in high school- for some reason this girl never would shower or bathe when she was on her period. I have no idea why, that sounds like greaseball city to me. Her hair would get really gross looking so she'd wear a bandana to hide it. Thing was, that pattern was pretty predictable. If that girl was wearing that bandana, my mom and her friends knew that girl was on her period and more importantly, that she potentially hadn't showered in a week. The staaaaaank, man!

The first time I got my period I was at a summer camp. The only thing they had in terms of hygiene products were pads that came in individual cardboard boxes with a safety pin so you could pin it to your undies. Y'all, I'm not even that old. Here I was this scared 11 year old girl. Away from home experiencing cramps for the first time. I had talked about it with my mother, but nothing really prepares you for that very first time. Ugh. Luckily camp was only a couple more days and I got to go home. I felt so gross the entire rest of the time, though. In fact, I can't do pads to this day. I know some folks swear by them, but I'll take my risk of Toxic Shock with a panty liner anytime.

When I told my mom I started my period she got up from watching TV, went to the bathroom, then came back to throw a pad at me and went back to watching TV.

I don't know if this is a cultural American thing outside of my friends, but when all of them started their periods their families made a big deal out of it with gift baskets and cake while my Asian friends said their parents reacted with the same indifference my mom had.

I honestly can't imagine anything less tasteful than throwing your child a period party. It was certainly not "celebrated" in my home. That's got to be some localized weirdness. I sincerely hope the cake was sufficiently period themed. When I was a bit younger I lived in a larger city and there was a bakery there called Sweet and Nasty. It sold "creative" cakes that were "anatomy" themed. That's what I'm picturing.

ETA: I'll be goddamned, that place is still open. Holy shit.https://sweet-n-nasty.com/cakes

This did not happen to me or anyone I knew or went to school with, and I am extremely grateful for that. My mom would randomly sing this annoying/embarrassing "Giiiiirl...you'll be a woman, soooooon" song to me (especially when drunk), but never around others.

Every time I fucking wake up to red bedsheets, when it was white sheets or I was wearing my white underwear, it's hilarious I guess. Now ALL my white underwear are period underwear. Fuck it. I should buy a whole pack of sexy red panties to offset this shit.

Recently, my period started after 17 days and I have no fucking clue why. I'm worried, actually.

This thread's still around? Holy...

Am I the only one who didn't freak at her first period? I mean, I gasped kinda loud in the restroom at the little spot of blood, but I knew it was coming sooner or later since a year prior my mom had mentioned my cousin crying over getting hers. A classmate was there, though, so she helped me get a pad, and then I quietly told Mom in the car that it started. I guess it's normal for it to be spotty and light when it first starts, I think it took a year before it got heavier and then I'd cramp, but I've always been pretty small, so maybe that's why. Nowadays, my body's nice enough to give me a warning a day ahead before I bleed, so I haven't had an accident in years.




Okay fine, my funny story is years ago I woke up really groggy one morning/really early morning and I almost flushed my pad, I was staring at it in the bowl and wondering why I was using that much toilet paper.

So technically I can kill both of them if I find them and not get prosecuted for it? You do know Harvey will have to go Cali to stand trial. Don't you think they'll want to know where the fat fool is?

If you geniuses were going to use the "he died of corona gag" and body bagged him to another country, yall fucked big time with him (Harvey) not dying.

God damn. I'm actually sorry for you low IQ dipshits. Dumbass narratives by boomer dementia patients.
