13 Super gross things that only happen to girls

10. Maxi-Pad Problems

There are lots of gross things that are period-related. Stuck tampons, cramps and bloating are just a few. But the nastiest thing has got to be when girls wear pads during their periods. They are basically walking around wearing a diaper full of blood. And it gets worse from there. Unless a girl is freshly waxed, the blood that is sitting in the pad will cling to her pubic hair in an unholy alliance. The pad sticks to the blood and the blood sticks to her pubic hair. So when she pulls the pad off, it can be like ripping off a band aid on a hairy leg. Are you grossed out? You should be. Try having to clean up that mess.
