I cannot tell you how many times I've accidentally bled through stuff. Even when I have a pad on, it always finds a way to move out of position, so then I ruin the underwear and sometimes the pants/shorts I'm wearing. Oh, and the times I've thought it ended just for it to start back up again… (For some context, my periods are a bit weird since I was on birth control for like a year, stopped recently, and they've only come back a couple months ago. Oh, and for the record, I'm also fifteen. The whole birth control thing was for a medication I had to take at some point. This is getting personal, but I might as well provide some context for why so this isn't unintentionally worrying)

Heyo! If you’re worried about getting blood on your clothes and scared of ruining them, that’s okay! This isn’t a fool proof solution bc we all know stains can be really stubborn, but hydrogen peroxide and cold water gets blood out of clothes really easy. You just out the hydrogen peroxide on the stain, let it bubble, rinse it off, and repeat until you got it as clean as you can. Then throw it in the wash, and you should be good to go!

Idk about hydrogen peroxide, but some good scrubbing with a stain remover usually does the job if you catch it within a few hours. Like, 20 minutes of scrubbing and then a run through the wash is my go to…

Hydrogen Peroxide can get it out if you’ve been in a situation where you couldn’t change for a lil bit. It it gets the stain out relatively fast. 5 minutes tops. Then just toss in the wash and let the spin cycle handle the rest. 😂

Ah! Noice

It’s a lifesaver

@Nicolo_Needs_A_Nap

What I did when I bled through my shorts is I put a SHIT ton of dawn on the stain, let it sit for a minute, then tossed it in the washer and it got the stain out

:((((
I mean, I accidentally left one in for almost 2 weeks once (by left it in, I mean it got stuck but I thought it had fallen out, and the whole ordeal was horrifying)
I was fine, but guess who's never ever using one again

Duuuude!
I had mild toxic shock once, started at a choir concert and only had oneand I was bleeding so much and so I left it in for over 20 hours, I left the concert and fell asleep in the car, middle of the night i woke up and
I had a horrible headache and started shaking and almost threw up and then I took it out and I was okay
I still use them but I do NOT use them at night anymore!
It was terrifying

@murphysgirl

So
I started my period yesterday
And today I went to work and nearly had a mental breakdown because my Adobe was malfunctioning
And now I'm eating animal crackers and procrastinating

Sounds about right

@Fraust

Woke up at 3 am this morning because of cramps and didn't take meds so I just went back to sleep after like an hour of suffering 👍

@heeey-bitchhhhhhhhhhh

So, I'm even moodier than usual thanks to my period. Yeah, I kept my girlfriend up for an hour just ranting and generally being annoying because I was frustrated about something and probably came off as rude a few times… Everything's fine, but I just feel bad for being annoying and keeping her up.

Once again I am awaiting the great flood two; electric boogaloo.

@Nicolo_Needs_A_Nap

Bro I don't get bad cramps, but there's always blood everywhere

@heeey-bitchhhhhhhhhhh

I feel you on that. I don't really suffer, but I tend to bleed through stuff.

Today I learned how to put in a tampon. I also learned that I am not strong enough to do it properly
It's also uncomfy but I already knew that

group
@Pickles group

But I'm probably going swimming over break so I need to swipe more from the bathrooms and figure my shit out

group
@Pickles group

I had to take it out early. That was a horrible experience

book

Use a smaller size! That helps a lot of people. There’s a size below regular. It’s Light I believe. But tampons are not for everybody.

@RaeYapper

One time I was in middle scholl and I had my period and I didn't have any pads with me and no quarter for the machine that gives tampons so I got some toilet paper and I stuffed it in my underwear and went to class. Got a pad on immediately when I came home

group
@Pickles group

I finally figured out how to put a tampon in right. Still took two hands, I'm blaming it on the fact that it was a cardboard applicator
I still have to wear a pad though cause 1 idk when it's gonna leak and 2 there was already blood on me that would get on my underwear. Genuine question, how do I avoid that?? Do you just gotta rinse off or something??

@murphysgirl

Cardboard applicators are the worst -
And I guess you're supposed to rinse off??? Idk I just always wear a pad even when I have a tampon in.
