[...] There are a lot of disadvantages to being a girl. Besides the hassle of bleeding out of my crotch every month, I can’t always go out in my favorite outfit – a shirt/tank top and a pair of shorts – unless I want to become a statistic. Whenever I attempt to leave the house at night with my legs showing, my parents make me march back up to my room and change into something more “decent”. I try to reason with them by explaining I wear shorts because they’re comfortable, and that my thunder thighs and peklat-ridden calves will deter any man from making a pass at me. They retort by saying, “Waling pinipili ang lalaking lasing.” So I guess even having horrible legs won’t keep me from becoming a rape victim. Fabulous. [...]

Hey, I’m not from an exclusive girl’s school but I don’t care who knows about my period. I’d ask GUY FRIENDS in my public college to see if I had a stain on my ass, then put my sanitary napkin on the table while I’m fixing my bag. Heck, I’d even take it out of my bag to put in my pocket in the cafeteria and in front of everyone. Ano naman kasi ngayon?

Siguro ang nakakahiya sa period eh yung kapag natagusan ka, tapos magstain sa chair. Hahaha. Kilala kagad kung kanino. /fail. Nangyari dati sa kun yun nung highschool. >_> Kala mo sila hindi natatagusan. HINDI KASALANAN ANG MAGKAREGLA!

^ True. Liek, OMG, when you’re like, surrounded by girls for most of the week, periods are not like something kadiri anymore. Kasi I’m like, Manila’s urban elite eh! Let’s parteeeh!

Why does it seem that tampons are not very popular here? This is one of my burning questions since moving here, yet no one can seem to tell me why? We had a niece from here move to the states with us for a year and the second she got her period there, she switched to tampons and never looked back (in fact we have to bring them for her now on trips back to the states). Can you shed any light on their lack of popularity? I am hoping they will become wildly popular so I can stop filling my balikbayan boxes with 20 boxes of them and looking like a freak to airport security.

True, menstruation is normal for girls and boys/guys know that… It’s not something to be ashamed about. I’d rather let my guy friends know I got my period, so if ever we’re out and i get stained, at least I could ask them for any bit of help. *lol* :twisted:

I think I have a reason to be embarrassed about my period. I bleed through my pants in high school and there are still some people who don’t let me forget it. It was traumatizing dude. I’m on my period today too…it’s pretty interesting.
Gahh give me those anti-period pills!
