• You have no idea when it’s gonna strike.
• You could wake up with the red sea in your panties.
• Or it chooses to creep up on you while you are out. Without a pad.
• It’s never on schedule no matter how long you’ve had it.
• That icky feeling that we all know.
• Stupid bizarre cravings.
• No cold drinks. At all.
• OMG cramps – hurts like fuck.
• 7 shittiest days of the month.
• Whereby I don’t feel like doing anything at all.
• Except lie down and squirm in agony and sleep.
• You wonder why you have to put up with this shit every month
• My usually near-zero productivity is reduced to negative.
• Feel like the crappiest and ugliest person ever
• But you don’t even care anymore
• Just willing for the days to pass quickly and it to be all over
• Pads aren’t exactly the most comfortable thing on Earth.
• Must remember to carry extra pads when going out.
• Have to avoid white bottoms and go for dark colors.
• The smell is like rotten fish.
• Your pee is red not yellow anymore.
• I don’t even like the color red.
• Peeing and pooing are more gross than ever.
• The constant feeling of want-to-shit-don’t-want-to-shit
• It always leaks especially when sleeping.
• Not only do I have to keep changing pads.
• I have to keep changing panties and sometimes my pants too.
• Don’t even talk about leaking when you are outside.
• Staining your bedsheets is worse than staining your clothes.
• So you gotta sleep in some awkward position to avoid that at all costs.
• After taking a shower, you can’t wipe your vagina with your towel.
• Because the blood will stain it.
• So you have to put your underwear right away without drying it .
• And it feels all weird.
• My already rotten temper takes a turn for the worse.
• You can feel it flow when you sneeze, cough, laugh, jump, stand, ANYTHING.
• And then it repeats all over again before you know it
