Today, I decided to make the switch from pads to tampons. My boyfriend ended up having to show me how to apply them. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend asked me how women could urinate with a tampon in. FML
Today, I used a menstrual cup for the first time. I couldn't get it out, after what seemed like ages of trying. I had to ask my boyfriend to help me. He'll never look at me the same way again. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I got to the stage in our relationship where she thinks its okay to change her tampon whilst I brush my teeth. FML
Today, I came home to my boyfriend wearing one of my pads on his hand, because he didn't want to pay to go to the hospital for stitches. FML
Today, I had my boyfriend come over for dinner for the first time. It was all going well until my dad started explaining to my boyfriend how to use toilet paper. He even demonstrated it. FML
Today, I had to teach my mother that tampons do not belong in the toilet. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, during my boyfriend's family reunion, I started my period but didn't have any tampons. I asked my boyfriend to ask his mom if she had any. I sat on the toilet waiting, then heard him loudly ask his whole family, "Does anybody have a tampon my girlfriend can have?" FML
Today, I put a tampon in. The string broke. I had to go to the hospital to get it out. FML
Today, I had to explain to my little brother that my tampons weren't ear plugs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he knew. Saved you from an awkward conversation with your mother or your best female friend. I'd keep him around, for sure.

You're a grown ass woman and don't know how to put a tampon in? Are you kidding me?

Does knowledge of using tampons suddenly come to you once you enter adulthood? What an amazing thing! Must be strange to suddenly have knowledge of something you've never done before!

My grandmothers are both over sixty years old and don't know how to use tampons. If for whatever reason they had to use them again they would have to ask someone for assistance. Shoving a wad of absorbent material inside of yourself isn't natural. It's not something that is going to be easy for everyone. There are women who know the technical aspects of using one, but might hurt themselves because all they know is to "shove it up there." So it makes absolutely no ******* sense that there are girls and women who get made fun of for asking questions about this subject.

You don't "apply" them, you insert them.

Call me old fashioned but if your just starting to use tampons...your too young to be messing around like that honestly surprised no one has mentioned anything about that...kids these days are way to quick trying to grow up enjoy your innocence and just be a kid while you can

#101 "If you don't use tampons yet you're too young to have a boyfriend" Did you honestly miss that comment and everyone who replied to #23?

Well shit, I have to tell my fiancé that the first 5 years of our relationship were invalid because I wasn't using tampons. Oh god, my step mom is too young to have 2 kids because she doesn't use tampons! Oh no!
