when i was like 3 or 4, i followed my mom into the bathroom and saw she was putting a pad in her undies while she was on the toilet. i had no idea why she did it. maybe she was just unique..? i thought it was toilet paper so i put a bunch of toilet paper in my underwear. later when my mom was helping me get in my pjs that night, she saw it and got mad. i thought maybe she was emberressed. for a while i had the idea that old old women did it.
