As always, I hate having my period

[conuly]

It's always the same - first I'm uncomfortable and miserable because I'm constipated, then my body decides to relent and I get the runs. Why? Why does my body fucking hate me!?

Interesting, I don't recall ever being constipated just then, nor did it cross all the way to the runs, but always when bleeding the texture of my solid waste would get softer and easier to expel, usually when I thought I was only heading to the loo to pee. The word that comes to mind is "fluffier" (not that I ever touched it with any body parts (other than those it had to pass through) to confirm or deny the appropriateness of that word).

I don't miss bleeding, neither do I miss this side effect. I wonder if everyone who menstruates has a change to their digestion process just then. It isn't exactly something we normally talk about. I wouldn't mention it now, but you started it...

1. I believe bowel problems are very common with menstruation. It's one of the huge problems with prisons rationing toilet paper and menstrual supplies.

2. Fluffy poop... so type six on the chart? (Hah, they even call it fluffy!)

Lol, I had no idea such a chart existed. My fluffy was more coherent than their immage for type 6, kind of like their type 4, but less dense, more volume
