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.

I used to think that a period was when a woman peed blood.
when I was 10. my nurse told the girls about puberty, periods, etc.
I was horrified when I found out about periods and how blood came out of your
"private". After that when ever I had to use the toilet, i would be scared to!
(and of course, i did anyway!)
when imagine how surprised i was when i woke up with blood on my sheets!
when i was young the woman in the family did not discuss things like a period or sex. when i started my period i first thought i was bleeding from somewhere inside. which stood to reason because of the terrible tummy cramps i had. still i somehow knew it was something i wasnt supposed to talk about. i was in pain and like that for a day before i got back to my mother who said. thats your period already!!! (i was seven) then she sat a box of pads on the counter for me and left me to figure it out
when OB Tampons first came out and they advertised that there was no aplicator i was so confused because for some reason i thought the aplicator was the string. so i asked my mom how they were supposed to get the tampon out after they put it in.
My little sister is ony 3 and she like to follow everyone in the bathroom...especially me and my mom! One time my period was on and she asked what it was and i told her it was red dye number 4 and no everytime i go to the bathroom she always asks if i have red dye number 4 and if i need a diper(in her world thats a pad)XD

I don't think I knew about periods at this time but I used to think that ladies had to wear pads every day and change them every time they went to the washroom.

i use to believe that a period was when ur eye hurt
When I was about four, I noticed that there were these things that were wrapped up like sweets, but shaped like pills (well, to four year old me, anyway) but they were huge for pills, and I didn't know how you could swallow them. Somehow I knew they were Mum's, not Dad's. I think I assumed they were either pills that only grown-up women got to take (taking pills seemed like a much more interesting activity when I was four, probably because you're not allowed to take many) or that they were sweets taht were for grown-up women only. I think I knew what Lillets were by the time I was 9 or 10, but I don't think I connected tampons with these weird pill things for years later. I didn't still think that that's what they were, it's just that I didn't remember my old belief and connect it with the tampons for a while.
I knew that girls got periods because I am a girl (duh). I always saw the pad/tampon machines in teh women's bathroom. But onetime, the women's bathroom was really full, so my dad took me into the men's bathroom (I was 8). I saw the pad/tampon machines and I got scared and confused and ran out. I asked my mom about it and she told me men didn' tget periods.

i use to think that everyone had a period. but now i know that only girls have them.
when i was 9, i had a fren who jus got a period. before this, we had no idea this was part and parcel of womanhood. she panicked in school and came to me crying that her privates were injured and was bleeding. i helped her put tissues and tried to stop the bleeding. it was after a few years later did i stop feeling worried for her as she refused to tell me what happened after that day....
I used to think that pads were little diapers for my baby dolls.. haha
I used to believe…
wen i woz lil i used 2 believe dat if u wor a tampon u wud get pregnent so i used 2 hide em frm me mum!
when i was 10 i started my period on the 3rd of December... then i got it again on the 30 of december so i called my mom crying b/c i thought i was gonna die b/c i had my period twice in one month... haha cracks me up!
I used to belive ( along time ago) that the pads my mom used were diapers for mummies.
As a little girl, I thought that a maxi pad were diapers for grown women.
I used to belive someone had 2 help u put a tampon on- GGGRRRRROOOOS
i had mine- guess not
I used to think that the paper that was used to wrap tampons and pads was very pretty and nicely decorated so I asked my mom where exactly she got this "Pretty Paper."
WHEN I WAS LITTLE I USED TO BELIEVE THAT PADS WERE USED TO KEEP UR ARMPITS DRY BY STICKING THEM TO THE INSIDES OF UR SHIRTS. AHHAHA HA HA HA.
When I was younger I learned about tampons. Well, I can't really say I learned much about them... Actually, I was quite disgusted with anyone who used them. You see, I knew about sex and everything, and I knew the place where a man's 'tool' is put, was the same as a tampon. I also believed that a tampon was just a plastic tube, ((Due to the plastic tube it's in.)) And since, you never see the rest of the tampon after use, I had nothing to argue against me.
So, due to my knowledge, and lack of knowledge, I believed that a tampon was a plastic tube that was insterted into a femaale and filled with blood during her perion. I also believed, due to what I believed a tampon was, that it doubled as a pleasure device. ((Like a dildo))
Both me and my friend believed this.
Boy did I feel stupid when I found out how they really worked...
On a related note. I know someone at my school who put a tampon in for the irst time without reading the instructions or having someone tell them about it, and so she didn't take the plastic part out. ^^;
Oh well. Live and learn, no?
