yeah i know it's suppose to be better for the environment but... hell i don't want to shove my my hands up into my own blood like that thank you very much =p

same reason why i refuse to use OB. I'll take the applicator thanks!


and my boyfriend... he is simply amazing. first he actually knew a few things about the female cycle that i didn't know (the presence of sperm will help regulate the cycle) and he always made a point to have chocolate for me...

[RecoveringKinkoid]

That's the thing with young guys, they havent' caught on that women are far, FAR and away more sick than they can ever hope to be.

Mature men understand this. They don't even try, they just accept that in the realm of nasty, they are rank amateurs.

[Rapscallion]

A conversation with a female colleague once.

"If only you knew."

"If only I cared."

Very shortly after this one, she tried to go into details.

"I've just come back from having some internal piles banded," I told her. "There's a tight rubber band around two parts of my colon to cut them off. I've had air pumped up there so they could work, so I'm farting constantly. I had this after a full shift and I came back to work straight after as we're very much behind. It hurts to bend over and every fart is like sneezing with a nosebleed. Anywhere close?"

I was, apparently, pretty close.

Too gross?

So if a guy wants to go "downtown" during that time, does that make him the grossest one, or her for allowing it? I tell ya, when my wife and I used to do it during that time, we could really paint the walls with the extra "lube".

[Ghel]

Wow. I'm surprised this thread hasn't gotten grosser than this. Other than a mention of clotting and sex during menstruation, I don't think it's really that bad. I used to have problems with clotting, but it's been better the last few years. I guess it has something to do with my hormones settling down as I've gotten older.

On the other hand, all I have to do when my hubby or step-son is trying to gross me out is say "I'm sure I could say something that would gross you guys out," and they clam up.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned childbirth. That is FAR grosser than menstruation in my book.

[bookishfreak]

I just call it "Red week" but I love "Shark week" lol I'm using that.

It's hysterical how men think they're so disgusting...so you can shit a brick...big freakin deal. Try bleeding so hard you bleed through the pad/tampon, underwear and pants! Ugh. I hate being a chick sometimes.

in the Navy we called this one Red Wings... *shudders*

On a seperate note, Rapscallion, that is just about par with my bowel resection minus the downtime needed afterwards

[ArcticChicken]

I never understood how guys can talk about the sickest/grossest things on the planet, but anything about menstruation...they run for the hills.

I know, right? I have found that by far the best way to get rid of annoying teenage boys is to start a conversation with a friend about the merits of pads vs. tampons.

I'll march in, take the time I need to find the items, gather them up, find an item to make the counter guy wonder "What the @#$%?" (you know...like tampons, a bra, whipped cream and a rubber chicken) and head home.

By far my favorite one was lube, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and an eggplant.

[Primer]

Thanks everybody! I really needed the laugh this thread has given me! I feel much better, now!

That's me. Esp. when I get a cramp, and I know I'm about to pass a hunk of uteral(sp) lining. I never want to wear skirts on those days , since I'm afraid something will fall out.

Oh, sometimes, I get this painful feeling that is a mixture of being kicked between the legs and a sack full of hydrochloric acid being detonated in the same place. It doesn't happen every period, thank God.

Lately I've been having to dump out my mom's crap pot. I try so hard not to barf.

[bookishfreak]

ladies, not to derail the thread, but have you ever had an "episode" so bad that your vag itself hurts?!?! I HATE that!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

That's the thing. They think they're the only gender that farts, pisses, and shits. If that's all they got, well, they need to step aside and let the big dogs eat.

[Blade]

Wow, I'm sort of surprised at this point that no one has mentioned the extra fun of taking a wicked shit *while* plopping out uterine lining!


Just sayin'....



(... and they ask why we go through so much toilet paper. Pffffft...)

[mandaliz8704]

My DH is fine with the whole period thing... he even went and bought tampons for me when we'd only been together for a month.

Childbirth and the resulting month or more of bleeding, however... gets him every time. I fail to see the difference, but he gets all squicked out.
