I used to believe that maxi pads were for very old ladies who couldn't control their bladder. I was shocked to see that Mom had some.

I used to think that girls who were beginning to have periods got them once a year before they became more frequent. I would play high school barbies with my sister and when the boyfriends came over, she'd say, "I can't. It's that time of the year."

This is about my friend. In primary school my friend found a sanitary towel on the floor. He thought it was an eye pad and ran around the school with this on his eyes!

My little brother and I used to make castles out of toilet paper & paper towel tubes. He went into the bathroom trash to get more for our castle and came back so excited because he had found a canon! It was a tampon applicator!

When I was 6 or so, my best friend Amber and I were trying to make playdoh with out a recipe, or supervision. We had dumped to much water in it, and dyed it red so it looked like a bowl of blood. Amber looked at it and said "This looks like a period", I thought she was weird since we had just learned about puncation in school and replied "Nuh-uh! Periods are at the end of a sentence.". Amber laughed and said "Periods are what you get after you have a baby!". I thought she was right since her mom had just had a baby, and belived her until I was about 9.

This one's about my boyfriend. He thought that when girls use tampons, they wear them all month long. I must mention that he is 19, with a mom and a 17-year-old sister. You'd think he'd know these things!

I first learned about the 'birds and the bees' from a book. In the book it had a front-on picture of the female reproductive system. I believed that it was a diagram of the inside of the whole body - that the woman would hold an egg until it went into her blood and down to her feet. :)

When I was little I didn't realize that pee and blood came out of two different holes. I was so confused about how you were supposed to pee when you had a tampon in. I asked my mom and she cleared it all up for me.

I never knew that female dogs had periods until my friend told me a few weeks ago... even after she told me, I refused to believe her. It wasn't until I came across this site that I figured, she may have been telling me the truth.

I am a 28 year old female with 2 college degrees!!

My friends little brother found her tampons in her room. He took them out to his father & asked what they were. His father told him they were special ear plugs. So when her brother didn't want to listen to what was being said he would search for the special ear plugs.

I must have been about 7 or 8 years old. At the time I was seeing ads for feminine napkins which I thought were individually wrapped table napkins. I could'nt understand why anyone would need individually wrapped table napkins.
