Jenn?

Normal people don't hide their tampons. Seriously. Oh, they might if they have to share, and there's just not that many... but you're the only one in the house who gets a period. Please. Don't do that again. I don't like staining my pants.

(Which, incidentally, is why I'm wearing JENN'S pants).

... perhaps you mean she's *not* the only one? :)

[conuly]

No, I'm babysitting. So, right now, *I* am the only one in the house with a period, as Ana's too young.

Way back when, when I started needing tampons, I kept them (and still do) in a big box under the sink. My sister didn't like looking at the box, so she hid them from me. I remember wandering around the house, wondering where they could be and wondering if I was going to stain my pants. Eventually, they were just in another drawer in the bathroom.
*shakes head* Petty.

God, that was dumb and mean of her.

I never had to share. By the time I got my period (12), my mom was already entering menopause (young, at 35)...I didn't have any sisters, and moved out at 16, so I just never had to share my tampons.

I always bled so much, though, that I had to use a pad with a tampon, so if I couldn't change right away, I knew I had a backup for a while.

God, I'm so glad I don't have periods anymore.
*hugs* to those that still have to go through the pain and misery of the monthly curse.

It's generally neither painful nor miserable. But it can stain my clothes, so.

Ahh, ok. You're very fortunate, then.
Mine felt like the early stages of childbirth. :/

[conuly]

Well, I wouldn't know about that :)

No, what happens is that I get a backache and constipation, which one aspirin gets rid of. Oh, and a boil. Always a boil. A needle gets rid of that. End of problems!

Three people in my house have their period. Before my sister went to tampons, we all used to same pad. "I'm ooooouuuut. Mooooom, can I use your pads!?"

None of us were "synched." So only one of us was bleeding at a given time (unless none of us were), and we all knew where everyone else's pads were.

So hiding tampons seems kinda silly to me. Maybe she's afraid Ana and Seth will eat them?

[conuly]

All three of us (me, Liz, Jenn) are always in synch, even when we don't live together. Scary.

From the timing of your post, it looks like you are in synch with me as well.


(Also, you've got an anonymous troll about--left a rather off-color reply to me on your neocolour post, which I didn't justify with a response.)

[conuly]

Yes, noticed and deleted. If he keeps it up, I'll switch to screening them instead and report it to his ISP, but I'm really rather lazy.

I do NOT hide my tampons. What I have is a large lavendar tin that I keep tampons of various "sizes" and assorted pads in. This way it's all together in one box. And it looks prettier than seeing a bunch of boxes/bags laying around. This tin is on the shelf in the bathroom, within easy reach of the toilet. AND, I *showed* it to Connie several years ago - the same exact tin. I don't find this any more unusual than the fact that I keep my spare toilet paper rolls under the bathroom sink, thank you.
