This evening the comment “I’m tired, I’ve got my period and I’m not in the mood to argue” was deemed offensive because someone was eating in the same room.
With hindsight I see that the argument that menstruation is a biological fact and not a lifestyle choice is not best served by the statement “When you grow up, if you have a girlfriend with cystic fibrosis and she needs her...

“That miracle substance isn’t just blood. It’s full of uterus lining, stem cells, a teeny tiny little egg, bodily fluids, blood, etc. That egg. It had potential to be a person. Men get to spill their seed all over a paper towel, or a woman’s face, or their desk at the office as they yank it to porn. This must be a great feeling of power. Women just bleed into stinky cotton products and...

From the article:
While this is obviously a bad situation, I’m fortunate in that I can stash my supplies in my desk and slip out to the “ladies room” whenever I need to do so. I don’t have to worry about it being too obvious that I’m having “female issues,” as my boss refers to it. I think back to how I might have handled this if I still worked in a restaurant or in retail and...
Anyone got a tampon?
i originally posted this in the summer:
stick a fork in me. i’m done. no really, i have never ever felt this horrible ever. i feel i should go into gross detail. no? you’d rather i wouldn’t? ::claps hands and sits:: okay so, on the seventh of july, i started my period and at the time i was like “egh period, ok normal body functions, whatever.” and so i accepted it. i am a woman. this is...
LADIES. I need to say some words about the state of my menstrual cycle lately:
I track my period and symptoms for no reason other than that I am weird like that, and for four years it has been the exact same thing: light cramping for two to three days before my period starts, one day of heavy flow, one day of lighter flow, CRAMPS OF DOOM and heavy flow again for a day, and then it tapers off and...
inverted spill.
okay, so i was at this guy’s house and we’re friends, but the new kind of friends. the kind of friends that you have to crawl with the amount of funny shit [completely absurd and inappropriate] you have happen to you. anyways, i was on my period and put in a new tampon. i went to the bathroom, and i came back without taking the tampon out because it was new. new. should i repeat myself...

to flush or not
i’ve gotten my period monthly for the past 16 years. that’s an incredibly large amount of tampons i’ve used and just this summer i learned that most women FLUSH THEIR TAMPONS!!! i didn’t know this. my father was a plumber. after my mom told him about my new womanhood the only thing he ever said to acknowledge it was “don’t flush them down the toilet” and...

I hate all this period bullshit. Why must it make us suffer to the point of missing school? Isn’t it the 21st Century, shouldn’t there be some special chemical in the water that makes us not have our periods after a while? I mean 12-13 just to get used to it/make sure I can have children/make sure I’m not a wasted away gymnast. And then I wouldn’t get it again until I was 30 and...
lowselfesteemmakesyouworthless- asked: I've gotten my period twice in my month twice in this year. Do I need to see a doctor?
Also sometimes I vomit during PMS.

A GREAT NEW TIP: Removing stains.
Normally when I know I’ve bled through (the tampon, the pad, the liner, whatever) and it gets on either my ugly or nice underwear, I soak those suckers in ice cold water for an hour or more. ——*AS MANY WOMEN DO:
However, I came across a new trick. After soaking it in cold water, lay out your ruined panties on the floor of a bath tub, spray Lime Away (rust, calcium, etc)....
wishywashydreamer asked: I'm sharing a where've I've bled thing. So I was at a theater camp. The last week of the theater camp was us touring around on a bus camping out and performing our show. It's a 4 week long camp, so ALL of the girls in our show had synced. The tents and tour bus was painted red. I feel really bad for the guys that were in the show for having to deal with us.

Post-Diva Cup Stress Disorder:
It is pretty ironic I made a hopeful post about my Diva Cup a couple days ago because today I had to go to the ER because of it! Without health insurance!And here is that story…
So yesterday I put it in and I was all like, “Hell yeah, it is finally workin, wassup!” Then I slept with it in (BECAUSE YOU’RE ALLOWED TO) and I woke up and tried to take it...
