In 6th grade, I thought that once you got your period, you'd have it forever!!!! 24/7
Unlike myself woth my own children, my mother was very coy about explaining anything period related. I remember her unpacking the shopping one day and spotting a pack of sannies. I asked her what they were, she didnt answer so I asked her if they were disposable nappes, (similar sized packet in the early '80s),she said they were. This I had to think about as my younger brother was well out of nappies and had only ever used disposables on holiday anyway. So I decided that the only person who could be wearing the nappies was my dad. I asked my mum and again she agreed, (my dad has always been the butt of the jokes on my family), and naturally, as a trusting and innocent 7-year-old, I believed her.
Next day I went in to school and stood up at 'news time' and announced to the claas that my mum was putting my dad back in nappies.

I used to believe that pads were a substitute for pantiliners. Why? I don't know why. All I know is that I used to waste them by putting them on, when I didn't even need them.

Before me and my mom had "the talk" I thought if you went to the beach while on your period you could attract sharks! pretty stupid huh!

When I was in the fifth grade my friends and I had a boy in our class convinced that tampons were a kind of candy and he beleived us. We even told him there were special blood flavoured ones for halloween! He thought that was the coolest thing ever!

When I was in grade 5 a friend of mine had overheard the boys discussing what colour girls period blood was. They concluded that it was black since boys sprem was white and of course boys and girls are opposites!

When I was little, I was talking to my friend Will about periods. I told him what they were, and when I was done, he ran crying to his mom screaming and terrified that he was going to bleed through his penis. Later we had to correct him and he was very embarassed.

I used to believe your period came out your nose. I remember I got my first nose bleed when I was about 5. I yelled "OH MY GOD! MOMMY! MY PERIOD IS HAPPENING!"

After seeing my mother in the bath when I was a very young child, I thought that when I grew up, I would have a cord coming out from my pee pee too.. I kept checking..

When I saw the commercial for pads&tampons, I used to think that when you got older(30+) that you went to the bathroom in your underwear because you couldn't make it to a toilet. Especially since they say "No leaks"

I didn't know what pads were for, so I assumed they were like mini diapers, so that you would just wear it all the time and if your bladder was ever nearly bursting, you'd let a bit out so you'd be okay until you had time to go to the bathroom. You can imagine my moms shock when I asked her why pads weren't advertised for boys too.

Once when I was about eight or nine I was supposed to go to a winter camp in Brownies. On the packing list they included ''Pads and Tampons''. Our Brownie teacher said, ''Oh don't worry about those. That's for the Pathfinders (the older Girl Guides).''
I didn't know what pads and tampons were so I ran around telling EVERYONE, ''Oh, on my camp list they included pads and tampons but we don't need those! Isn't that dumb?''
My mom shushed me after that.
One time on TV I saw a commercial for pads, and being little and curious, I asked my mom what they were for. She said that lots of people pee a little bit when they laugh, cry or cough and the pads were to absorb the pee!
I thought having your period was like pee, but blood. I thought it just came out at once. I never knew it dripped. I always wondered why people were so worried about leaking while wearing pads. Couldn't they just go to the washroom and let it all out, then not have to wear the pad anymore, since their period was over? It was until i actually got it and I wondered why it was continous for the whole day, then I asked my mom if it was supposed to keep going..
SHE LAUGHED AT ME! that was so embarrassing..
i dont think i'll put a name on that one
When I was about 8 years old my friend Alice told me that all women would bleed once a month, and that this would happen to us when we were older.
I was horrified, and imagined blood coming out of all of our pores. Then I didn't believe her because I was sure that I had never seen any grown up woman I knew walking around with blood pouring out from everywhere.

For some reason, during my first period, I thought that the bleeding would never stop; that once you "became a woman", you bled forever. I remember thinking that this wasn't a very good deal...
Michele
i used to believe that if you insert a tampon in you you would start your period... so i tried it, and was disapointed to see that i hadnt started on my period... hee hee
Emma (stupid girl)
when I was 10. my nurse told the girls about puberty, periods, etc.
I was horrified when I found out about periods and how blood came out of your
"private". After that when ever I had to use the toilet, i would be scared to!
(and of course, i did anyway!)
when imagine how surprised i was when i woke up with blood on my sheets!
scared lil gal
I used to think that periods were constant, not just once a month, that women had periods every day of their life after about 13 years old.
Me and my friends used to think that sanitary towels and tampons were something that mothers and housewifes used instead of going to the toilet, to soak up all the pee, because they were so busy all day that they didnt have time to go to the toilet!
