When I first got my period, I never really knew anything about it.I got really scared, I thought I was dying because there was blood everywhere and I kept "bleeding" while having my shower.
A childhood belief about periods
others believed things like this
- I used to believe period blood came from the nipples. I thought that was what "padded bras" were for!!Anon
- HA! I used to think when you got your period, you would just pee blood...I wish it was like that...if only.Anon
- I thought pads sucked blood from women. It wasn't until later in life that I knew their actual purposeAnon
- when I was young, I heard that blood had iron in it. I thought blood was red because it was rusty.— Hunter
- I used to believe that take a shower meant to go steal a shower from the storeAnon
- I used to think that toilets led to the shower head. That's why I never took a shower :D— scared
