When i was younger i thought that ,due to witnessing the absorbent tests on t.v , that sanitary towels were actually like in soles for your shoes to prevent sweating!!
it made sense until i asked my mum why she didn't wear these amazing products. The truth is embarrassing!!
A childhood belief about periods

others believed things like this
- I was horrified when my first period arrived. It wasn't blue, like in the commercials for sanitary towels.— Jane
- I used to believe that shoo fly pie was made of old shoes and dead flys, and I wouldn't eat it.— Aubri
- Until about age 11 i thought that "Hush Puppies" the shoes were made from real puppies!— Laura
- My dad told me "Hush Puppie" shoes were made from Basset Hound ears.— William
- I used to think you couldn't die if you didn't have shoes on. Coincidentally, so did one of my friends.— Casey
- I used to believe that clothes got smaller if you didn't wear them very often.Anon
