I used to believe that maxi pads we like diapers for women who didn't have time to go to the washroom at work. So one day after my bath i decided to try one, I put it in my panties and peed in it.
When I first got my period, I thought it happened because I drank too much black coffee the day before and it leaked out of my body *to me the color looked black*!
when I was about 10 or 11–after I knew what getting your period was, but before I understood what the paraphenalia was for– I put my mom and sister in hysterics by asking how 'deodorant' tampons to stayed in your armpits.

i used to believe that if you held on to your pee you would get your period. I was told this when i was 10 and i held on to my pee so much one day i couldnt hold it anymore and i peed on myself in the street.

My mom never told me about girls getting a period...When I was 10 yrs. old I woke up one morning to having some blood in my panties, well I thought I scratched myself in my sleep but I was very PRIVATE girl and did not go to my mother about it...as the day progressed I saw drops and tried looking with a mirror to see where I scratched myself...NO LUCK!!...the next morning I woke up and there was even more blood spots so I put BANDAIDS all over my private area but to no avail it continued and was only getting worse...so I finally went to my mother TOTALLY EMBARESSED to say "Mom I scratched myself and it just wont stop bleeding and I have tried using bandaids to cover the scratch but it's not working"...Needless to say my mother wanted to see and when I showed her or rather she could tell it waas not a scratch but my first period...It took everything for her to not laugh at the site of bandaids everwhere from front to back...She proceeded to tell me then what it was...One thing she told me was now I was a "Woman" so to speak and I had to stay away from boys..lol...I sure made sure when I had my daughter to tell her very early on about this subject...lol

I remember hearing that you shouldn't go swimming in the ocean when you had your period or you would attract sharks.

My boyfriend's 18 and he thought that periods only last one day! I told him and he was very surprised and said that he's really glad he isn't a girl! :)
i use to think after hearing girls have periods, that you only get it once and then your a woman, wish it was true...
I'd been told that a period was when, once a month, a woman would bleed. Now, I was a fairly laid-back little girl, so this idea didn't bother me much. After all, the only bleeding I'd ever witnessed was from little scrapes and cuts, so naturally, I thought any bleeding would only last a minute or two. I was more than a bit pissed off, then, when my period came along and lasted a full week!
i use to think that everyone had a period. but now i know that only girls have them.

When i found out that your period was a new egg that needed to be expelled once a month, i imagined a large, squishy blob the size of a chicken egg, and i could understand why a woman couldnt just sit on the toilet and drop it in all at once. I was really disgusted when i found out that it had to leak out in small chucks, because i imagined a soft-boiled egg sort of deal

When i was about 6-7 i played with these 'napkins' i found undernieth the sink in the bathroom. one day my mom found me playing with them and said "What ar you doing in the special napkins?" so then the next time we had a fancy dinner shehad asked me to set the table to i took out the 'Fancy' napkins. I never knew why i got in so much troble till i was a bout 9.

Upon being told by her Mum that women got periods so they could have babies, my best friend (aged about seven at the time) promptly told her that she didn't ever want babies, so she straight-out wouldn't be having any periods. She's currently pregnant with her second child...
I heard that it was a good idea to take baths during your period, but the idea terrified me because I thought you'd end up bathing in your own blood. I was blissfully unaware of the term "water pressure".
Also, when I was about seven, seen a sign in the Ladies saying "please don't flush sanitary towels down the toilet". I knew what sanitary meant (clean) and I assumed that this meant you were allowed to flush DIRTY towels - as in bath towels. Sensible idea - no point wasting clean towels. I didn't understand properly until I was nine or ten.
Not to mention I thought you tied tampons to your underwear. All the school textbook had was a picture of a loose tampon and the words "You can do any exercise wearing a tampon, it cannot slip." Thank you, middle school.

I used to think that your period was this, red, gloppy mess, that would give you a stomach ache until you went to the bathroom to get it out...much like a bowel movement.
I don't know what made me think this. I'm glad my idea wasn't true though.
After being allowed to eat as many beets as I cared to at lunch one day (my gramma was minding me), I was horrified to see later that when I weed, the water turned red. I was convinced I was the first 6-year-old to get her period. When my mum came home, she noticed I was very preoccupied and after getting the horrible truth out of me, proceeded to dress down my gramma for overfeeding me beets and scaring the tar out of me.

I'd once heard maxi pads referred to as "feminine napkins", so for a while I used to think that when I got my period I would have to put a dinner napkin down my pants.

I had no idea what maxi pads were for and stocked my Barbie townhouse with maxi pad beds one day

I remember once my mom was explianing periods to me. She told me that when I had my period, I couldn't go near water. Wide-eyed, I asked, "I can't even drink water?" I thought that for a while.
