Any other person have their embarrassing story to share?

I'll share you my most embarrassing.

tl;dr If you don't read it, it's alright. I just need other stories to feel less crapy. I'm sorry if this type of thread pops up a bit on Subeta. Edit: Also, the reason I waited until now to post this is because I made a mental block to stop my emotions from processing what happened. If I didn't I would have started to cry and develop the inability to talk to any guy from band. Since, I'm moving and therefore switching high schools, the mental block has left and I feel embarrassed as I don't know what.

Ahem, so this happened in April.

My school band and I were driving back from New Orleans and we stopped in Mississippi to eat. So, I'm talking to my friend and then I get the feeling. So I rush into the bathroom, and lo and behold, Aunt Flo came to visit. I don't have any pads because they're in my suitcase and if I was going to get my period, it would be during the trip not during the two 18 bus drive from and to Wisconsin. That was a very horrible assumption.

My friend only has tampons (I'm not allowed to use them so therefore I didn't know how to use them.) so I text my other friend's mom and she doesn't have any. She also told me that this happened to another girl at the beginning of the trip and all the other girls only had tampons. So my friend said she would help me insert the tampon by telling me through the bathroom door of the Subway we were in. So I tell her it hurts like a bitch and she tells me then I'm doing it correctly and to keeping pushing. And then I hear laughing. There is a guy waiting to use the male restroom right next to the girls restroom. (According to my friends, at first he was confused and then his face turned tomato red once he realized the situation). I wasn't embarrassed because I thought it was my friend's brother, who was used to things like this.

Turns out that boy decided to tell just about every percussion player and a crap load of other guys about me.

Yeah.

So the next day, I inserted another tampon and that one completely leaked. Like holy shit, it was if I had no sort of protection. So basically, when we arrived at my school, I was walking around with a blanket covering me while returning my saxophone, getting my luggage, and shit. (I had a decent excuse though. New Orleans to Wisconsin is quite a temperature difference.)

So when I was returning my saxophone, a hot guy friend of mine, his trumpet cubby was next to mine, gave me this look, this smirk, and I died inside a bit.

Car ride to my house. NOT FUN.

Worse part, I was 14.5 and I've had my period since a was a little over 9 years old and didn't know how to use a tampon.

That does not sound like a fun experience :( Those guys are idiots though. "omglol periods are so funny!!!" Why aren't you allowed to use tampons if you don't mind me asking?

But, my most embarrassing period story is from when I was 11 or 12 in the 6th grade. We were going to Schlitterbahn on a field trip for the end of the year/moving on to junior high, which is a water park, and of course I started my period the day before, and had never used a tampon but didn't want to miss out on this awesome trip. So I brought one with me, but just wore a pad on the bus ride there. Which I totally forgot about D; We got there and I ended up walking into the water with my pad on, which immediately absorbed a bunch of water and I started turning red and kind of ran out of the water and grabbed a towel, and then ran to the bathroom. I'm not sure if anyone saw, but I was extremely embarrassed. And then I had to deal with figuring out how to use a tampon.

Since then I've dealt with extremely irregular, heavy, painful periods and thus many stained pants and overall crappy days. Periods suck :< Thankfully I'm on birth control now which regulates them, and while they're still kind of painful and bothersome, at least I know when to prepare for it.

I'm not sure because when I brought it up a few years ago, my mother became mad. I think it may be due to the fact that she's not comfortable with them ( she doesn't use them either), the TSS risk, and/or because I'm not the most responsible person. Although for the last reason, I'm paranoid as hell that I'll contract TSS so I would change the tampon every four hours. I can't really blame the guy, though. You would think by high school, all girls new how to use tampons.

At least nobody new about it, that is all that matters. XD.

I don't remember the last time I didn't stain my pants due to my period... Well it's good that yours is being regulated.

when i was.. 15 i think? i was in class, and we have assigned seats and the last 4 periods of class are without any breaks since they were all in the same classroom blah blah school system etc. so, bell rings. i stand up. put my chair on the table and BAM - BRIGHT and BRIGHT red. i literally RAN out, i had no idea i got my period since usually i get insane cramps and this was the first time i've ever leaked through at school or whatever. so i run out, my friend runs after me going all ''what's the hurry?'' and i just kind of yelled at her GO LOOK AT MY CHAIR I'LL BE OUTSIDE so she comes out a few minutes later practically pissing herself with laughter.. the chair was wooden and the blood was actually soaked into it like it was in the chair itself. the next day i skipped school because everyone knows i sat there. turns out the cleaners skipped the chair and my homeroom teacher spent a big deal of his lesson trying to scrub /my/ period blood out of a chair.. everyone knew. :|

Oh my goodness, that is horrible :( I'm so sorry that happened. I myself use pads over tampons. I was thinking this would be a bit TMI since it's also a period story, but I'll tag along to make you feel better.

My first story is a lot like 's. This was the very first month that my period started. I didn't know much about them at all. So several days passed, and in the morning, it looked like I was finished. Little did I know, I wasn't. I was too young and inexperienced to know to act like you're still on your period for another day (or even a few hours) before assuming it's over. So I go to school. And I get up from my chair and see a loooot of red on the chair. Bled right through :/ I didn't know what to do because I was so embarassed. I go to my next class (should've went to the clinic stupid me) and my previous teacher actually asks to pull me out of class. She talked to me about it, explained that she cleaned it up right before the next class came, and told me to go to the clinic to get a pad. To this day, I'm literally terrified about having the same experience. Especially when I think it's about to start but not sure exactly when. Heck, even when I'm on it and I KNOW that I'm covered.

My second embarassing experience would again involve my period, but not as TMI. I felt it was going to start at school, therefore immediately began to panic. "Not the same experience!!" I thought. Of course, the one time I forget to put extra pads in my backpack. I excuse myself to the bathroom and yeeeep, it was my period. I rolled up some toilet paper and make due, because my lunch would be starting in fifteen minutes. I figured I could just run to the clinic (since it is right by the cafeteria) during my lunch. I go back to class....and feel like I'm about to pass out. I've fainted two times before, one time because of how heavy my period was, so I knew that I was going to pass out. I had my head down, and my peer students panicked and told my (ridiculously nice) teacher. So he immediately calls the clinic and just has a conversation with me in hopes of keeping me awake, even though I have my head down. And when the clinician got there, she arrived with a wheelchair. So I got wheelchaired out of the room. The room was absolutely dead quiet--you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was soooo worried about me the next day when I came back, and I only explained to my lunch table why I suddenly disappeared from school that day.

Goooooood times (not) lol.

If we're talking about periods......

I suck at keeping track of my periods so I'm always caught off guard (and it really sucks). One day I was talking to this guy that I really really liked during class. And whenever I'm near anybody I really really like I always try to act cool. So while we're nearing the end of our conversation I stand up and (try to) walk away with swag for whatever reason. Everything was going great till my crush yelled after me, "I think you sat on ketchup during lunch!" To this day I still hope that he was sincerely naive about the ginormous stain on the back of my pants :(

Speaking of staining, I was embarrassed a second time during that week when I was doing laundry with my cousin, whom I rarely knew because she was visiting for the first time. Yea........

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Periods are the worst, and as for those guys making fun of it, if they had to go through this every month it wouldn't be so funny then. My brother hates it when me and his wife bring it up.. he says "Something that bleeds for a week straight isn't normal" and leaves it at that.

They're never on an exact schedule They make me mad at the world I don't want to go anywhere/do anything They have a tendency to happen when you don't want them to/don't have what you need I personally think they serve no purpose what-so-ever, seriously T-T

I remember the first time it happened to me, luckily I was home, however we had company over and my mom was out getting pizza or something. Sooo me and my best friend at the time just hung out in the bathroom til my mom got home. I was literally terrified like oh my god i'm gonna bleed to death ;-; I'm sure everyone else was wondering why, but thank god they didn't ask.

I hated school for the same reason. Come to think of it.. I think 9th grade was the last year I wore shorts for that reason, even in gym I wore sweatpants.

And I will never.ever.use tampons again, screw that. I tried that once, I don't like them.

I don't really have a period story to contribute to this topic, aside from the classic "I bled on my pans and used a jacket to cover it". I've never personally bled so much that it has pooled. >.<

But the whole reason for making this post was to basically say that I am 18 and I have never used a tampon. Ever.

I do have rather irregular periods (I went upwards of a year without one, pretty frickin sweet lemme tell ya), but I've never felt comfortable with tampons. Pads are so much easier IMO.

my first two days of high school in freshman year, i had my period and it bled through my pad BOTH DAYS T_T

, i've never told anyone but i used to have the same problem until the end of 6th grade too. one time towards the end of fifth grade, i don't know what the hell happened to me but i just was too afraid to go to the bathroom and peed my pants about 3 times that day (we were in the same classroom all day so i didn't have to worry about getting up). however, when my teacher asked me to pass back papers, i ran out of the classroom to the clinic. the nurse (probably one of the meanest nurses i've ever met) was like "WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM, NO -NORMAL- 11 YEAR OLD SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE" and then made me cry. my mom had to pick me up from school. i'm so glad my teacher was really nice and sympathetic and didn't think of me any different after the issue. the next day, however, one girl in my class was like "WHEN YOU RAN OUT I SAW I WET STAIN ON YOUR PANTS" and i just ignored her. i'd never thought i'd say this, but thank god i moved to florida after school let out. and that happened...7 years ago, damn

Oh no! That sounds absolutely awful! No wonder you were embarrassed. That boy was mean telling everyone. They don't know how horrible it is to have a period.

My most embarrassing period story was way back when I was 12 or 13 years old. I was very irregular at that time as I'd only had my period for a year or two. Pain was a signal for me, except not for this period. It was summer and me and my family went for a walk at a popular water park (not a theme park, but a park with lakes in it). I felt a horrible wet feeling in my pants, looked down at my BRIGHT GREEN cycling shorts and saw a massive bright red patch. Not only had I come on, I'd come on HEAVY. I had nothing to cover up with since we hadn't brought coats since it was hot, so I had to walk back to the car. I swear, everyone stopped and stared.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that, it sucks when people make bad situations worse for you :c I bet that boy would not be laughing if he bled on a monthly basis with hormone spikes to boot! To be fair, I didn't really start using tampons until last year (I was sixteen), and I was just lucky to have the box to read the instructions off of! I was always uncomfortable with the general idea of tampons, but they do seem to prevent more stains for me than the pads and are less messy in general. Okay, so I'm not generally comfortable with sharing TMI stories like this at all, but I'm all for helping out, so I suppose I could share a personal experience with you ^^'

About...two years ago? I think I was around fourteen or fifteen, in my freshman year of high school. Anyways, I had already known that I was on my period, and I had a pad on so everything was good, or it at least should have been. In any case, I was sitting at a lunch table with a few friends, but mostly friends of friends, and chatting with everyone. Suddenly, I feel the inside of my leg getting wet so I feel it and lo-and-behold, my pad had leaked, staining my jeans and leaving a spot on the seat. I had absolutely no clue what to do because they'd obviously notice the stain and spots on the chair when I got up, so I started pretending like I had sat in something, acting all grossed out and such. I went, "Ew, I think it might have gotten on my jeans! I'm going to go check," and ran off to the bathroom to do some damage control. For the rest of the time I sat with them, I sat avoiding the spot on the chair, generally acting put off by it. I don't think any of them really noticed what had happened at the time? Still, I felt really embarrassed about it, and I feel like a moron for trying that cover story and acting like such an idiot back then ^^'

I also had one of those leaking on a chair in class moments back in fifth grade, which was crazy embarrassing, considering most of the other girls I knew hadn't even gotten their periods yet. I just kind of freaked out and ran out of the classroom, hoping it would just get cleaned up by the teacher and the next student wouldn't know what it was. The teacher was nice enough not to mention it, and nobody seemed to really notice that I was wearing a sweatshirt tied around my waist for the rest of the day (which I had gotten from the nurse, since they didn't even have pads or tampons). It could have gone a lot worse though, I suppose c:
