Today, I was expecting my period. To avoid the embarrassment of everyone in the office finding out, instead of putting tampons in my bag, I hid one in my bra. It fell out while I was coming back from lunch. I am now known to all as "The Tampon Dispenser". FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML
Today, I got my period and went clubbing. I had to change my tampon and stupidly I only brought one. When I unwrapped it, it fell on the floor. I had to wait in the womens' bathroom for 45 minutes for a random girl to give me a spare. FML
Today, I didn't have any money to buy a tampon from the dispenser at my school but my hands are small enough so I can just slide them up and grab one. My hand got stuck in the dispenser and my school had to call the fire department. Now everyone calls me "Tampon Girl." FML
Today, I bought a box of tampons and went to the store restroom to insert one. I then put the box inside my purse. On my way out, I got stopped by security, who yelled at me to empty my purse. He grabbed my bag, spilling the tampons everywhere. Apparently, he thought I was stealing. FML
Today, I had just reached in my purse without looking to grab a granola bar when my boss walked in my office. We talked for a few minutes as he kept giving me strange looks and looking at my hand. He left and I realized I hadn't taken a granola bar out, but a tampon instead. FML
Today, someone at work put their used, bloodied tampon applicator back in its wrapper, and into the free tampon bin for some sucker to grab. That sucker was me. FML
Today, I was changing my tampon in a public bathroom. As I was about to put the tampon into the sanitary bin, I dropped it and it rolled under the stall next to mine. It was occupied. FML
Today, while I was at work, I didn't have any panty liners so I used tissue. I was taking orders when I suddenly felt the tissue trailing down my leg. I tried not to move, but it inevitably fell through my pants onto the floor in front of my co-workers. I swiftly put it into my pocket. Luckily, it had nothing on it. FML
Today, I'm on the last few days of my period. After nothing came out the whole day, a dollop of blood suddenly poured out, somehow managed to entirely circumvent the giant pad I was wearing, and went straight into my underwear, pants, and the chair I was sitting on. FML
Today, while working in a dark nightclub, I dropped a red charger. Retracing my steps, I found it, or so I thought until I picked up a used tampon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As opposed to "The Chick with the Super Long Nipple?"

I assume if you work in an office everyone there would have been able to handle seeing a tampon in your bag. Even if they are, for some reason, immature enough to give you a dumb nickname like that they could have been desensitized from seeing tampons in purses from high school and have not said anything. In reality if someone pointed out "Oh hey guys, she has a tampon in her bag!" they would have looked like a moron.

Why be embarrassed? It's a natural part of life. Get those compact ones and you can just hide them in your fist.

Either you expect your coworkers to go through your bag (I doubt) or you don't have a bag you can discreetly take to the loo... If it's the latter, just use your pockets or something when you need it. Also, it's a period ffs, it's not that embarassing, most girls get one every month and most people know that. So long as you don't flaunt it there's no real problem about it all. Grow up.

When I get mine I send a mass message out to my contacts informing them I'm not pregnant.

Do you work in an elementary school? I mean, seriously. Grow up.

Agree with #11. This is the 21st century. The times of taboos on most things are a thing of the past. A period is nothing to be ashamed of (and that coming from a guy...) ;) You probably did more damage than good hiding the tampon in your bra.

Sounds like your bra is a little too big.

How would they know it was in your bag.... Do you coworkers snoop your purse/bag?

You put it in your bra to AVOID your coworkers seeing it? I would have thought that hiding it away in a purse pocket would have been more discreet, but that's just me.

Well, think about it. She probably didn't want to bring her whole purse just to stick in a tampon.

..."Whole purse"? It's a bag, surely if she needs to lug a massive bag for work she'll have a smaller one for if she needs to nip out at lunch time...?
Killerturtle 11
The fml said purse. Women usually put their electronic devises, wallet and makeup in there. So why would she bring all that junk when she could simply put it in her bra? It doesn't matter if it is a small or big purse, its just easier that way.

Yeah, whatev Killerturtle.

Tbf most of the girls I know who feel the need to put make up in their bag (when they're at work or whatnot) are the type of girls who feel the need to touch up their make up every time they go to the loo anyway... Also, I think this FML speaks for itself about why storing tampons in your bag would be better than your bra. I also imagine that the bag option is comfier.

Killerturtle - just to clarify, I think when OP says 'purse' she means wallet. Here in Australia they're basically the same thing, and we say handbag to refer to what you seem to call a purse. Regardless, she could have kept it in her bag, then just discreetly hidden a tampon in her fist/pocket when she had to go to the toilet. I guess she'll know for next time...
