Being a female is amazing because your uterus automatically senses when the worst possible time to get a period arises...shame on you for not giving it a baby OP!! In all seriousness, they can come early/late due to stress or changes in diet and vacations usually have both :/ I hope you came prepared anyway even though it's an inconvenience

OP have you heard of a menstrual cup? In my opinion it is the most convenient solution, if you're not squeamish about putting fingers in there. You only change it twice a day, and it's reusable, so it saves you so much money, and doesn't alter your Ph balance like tampons do. You can still go swimming, wear it to bed, and there is no string dangling out. And if you put it in properly, there are no leaks. It's definitely what I would use on a vacation.

#15 I was going to comment just that ; once you get used to it, it's a real game-changer !

its so fucking annoying seeing girls shove their period choices down other girls throats i see it all the time omg have you ever considered some people can't use them or just don't want to?

46 - Wow, no one is shoving period choices down other girls' throats. Mentionioning an option is not the same as forcing people to do it. What the fucking fuck? I started using the cup because it was mentioned on another period related FML actually and I thought it sounded interesting. It's not advertised because it doesn't make profit for big companies like tampons and pads do, and so lots of women don't even hear about it and it's good for us women to know about all the options so we can make an informed decision. It's so fucking annoying when people start shit over absolutely nothing. Sit the fuck down.

(Sorry, this pissed me off more than I should have allowed it to)

This happens to me all the time and it's the woooooorst.

You sound like a menstruating ghost.

Plot twist: I am!

Your vacations seem to arrive...... Periodically.....

It might be caused from the stress or excitement

Ah yes...the magic of the uterus.

Literally before every important event that I wouldn't want a period during, it comes. But any other time it comes on schedule. The power of the female body. Smh

Literally.

They make delay pills

I've never heard of that? Unless you're talking about birth control pills?

I fucking hate that! It happened to me all the time to. It's why I started using tampons instead of pads at the age of 20... Barring sex, they let you do almost anything!

Every. Single. Time. It's like they know
