the best of periods
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.

Once when I was about eight or nine I was supposed to go to a winter camp in Brownies. On the packing list they included ''Pads and Tampons''. Our Brownie teacher said, ''Oh don't worry about those. That's for the Pathfinders (the older Girl Guides).''
I didn't know what pads and tampons were so I ran around telling EVERYONE, ''Oh, on my camp list they included pads and tampons but we don't need those! Isn't that dumb?''
My mom shushed me after that.
When i was 11 years old i got my first period. Not knowing exactly what it was i believed it was the moment in a womans life when she could get pregnant if she had sex. I knew that men squirted some sort of liquid from their penesis, so i remember getting into the bathtub that night and pouring water from the tap directly into my vagina, hoping to get pregnant!!!
i actually rather enjoyed it.

I used to believe that when women had periods, they actually shot periods (i.e. full stops) out of their... erm... places.

When i was in 3rd grade, my friend told me that when you had a period it came through your nipples in your breasts.
When i was about 10 and i had my first period, i did not know what it meant.
So when i first saw it i thought i got blood cancer and i went crying to my mom sayin i had got blood cancer. Then she explained me what it actually was.
Well, here is the story. Very funny, not to me or Mary.
Okay, I was 11 at the time, my friend Mary was 24. We were out camping. So, we were riding around on the ATV, when she had to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, well, here is the conversation.
Her: Okay, Lexi, I have to go to the bathroom! Back in a second!
Me: Okay. Don't take too long-I'll ditch you!
Her: (In the bathroom) (Suddenly) OH SH*T SH*T SH*T SH*T!!!!!
(This repeated for a while)
Me: Sara- you okay?????????
Sara: SH*T! I just got my period!!!
Me: (I thought she said FORgot, not GOT) What? I thought you said you had to go to the bathroom! You didn't say you were writing a story!!!!! Geez, I was waiting forever-and here you are, writing a story.
...
Figure it out. She still reminds me of that day. Every waking moment. And then I tell her at least I haven't gotten my period yet! Then we burst out laughing.
when i came to the US in 7th grade. a classmate asked me if i had period. she believed chinese, unlike americans, might or might have period.
My boyfriend's 18 and he thought that periods only last one day! I told him and he was very surprised and said that he's really glad he isn't a girl! :)
when i was little i thought tampons were for boys when they got there periodes
I used to believe…
the first time I got my period, I thought it was because I kept thinking about this guy that I liked
when i was younger my older sister and her friend were talking about their periods, and when i heard that you just keep bleeding i thought that it hurt really bad, and i started crying and they had to calm me down.
When I first saw a sanitary pad I thought it was used as a sponge to clean the bathroom, beacuse that's where I usualyy found them. Later I saw the packaging and thought that maybe they were adult diapers.
I used to belive that when you put on a tampon, you stick the whole thing in, including the aplicator!
My friend once told me that when she first got her period, she thought she would spend every other month bleeding for the entire month. When her mom found her with a calendar figuring out which months would be her "period months", she explained to my friend how it really works.
When I was seven, I use dto believe a woman would die fro getting her period. She would bleed to death.
when i was little i thought womes used tampons in order not to pee themselves!!!
i used to believe that when u got ur period it was continuous and carried on until you died
