9. Tampon Leakage
Sorry, fellas, but we have one more period-related item on this list. Tampons leave girls with the safe feeling that they can do anything when they’re on the rag. A consequence is that they get lulled into a false sense of security and forget they have their periods…until their tampons start to leak. At minimum, they wind up with slightly stained underwear. A worse fate is when they bleed through their underwear and have to stand at the sink during work, rinsing out their underwear; then, they have to go sans underwear for the rest of the day if they don’t have a spare pair. Some girls just throw out the dirty pair in the office bathroom trashcan. The worst fate, though, is when the leakage is so bad that it goes through a girl’s pants. That’s when it’s time to take a personal day! And good luck removing a soaked tampon. If you pull it out too fast the bathroom will look like a crime scene and girls will have to clean it up like an episode of CSI. Those things are spring loaded!
