When I was 5 and my little brother was 3, we went exploring under my mom's sink and found Lite Days Maxi pads...we didn't know what they were, but judging by the shape, we finally figured it out..they were giant band-aids! So me and my brother would go under the sink and put them on ourselves and pretended like we were hurt...we were so proud that we found the giant band-aids...and my mom came in and just smiled...she never told us otherwise...she just let us believe that they really were giant band-aids...so I believed this till I was about 10 years old, until my girlscout troop had a nurse come in to educate us about our periods...
