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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

YDI for wearing a bra in the first place. Heavy flow or GTFO.

How is having your period embarrassing? Its a fact of life. Assuming you are an adult since you put you work in an office, I would hope that you would have grown out of being embarrassed by that. Im pretty sure everyone knows what a tampon is and what its for and that being an adult woman you do get your period unless your a mutant. And why couldnt you put a tampon in your bag?

Might work in a retail/secure environment where they require associates to use see through bags for Loss prevention. That said, seriously who *wouldnt* expect the possibility of a woman having tampon, etc in there? At least it's not like a giant tube of ointment or something :|

You know...I bet if you didn't really think about this and just, you know, had your period with your tampons in your purse...you might have gotten through it with nobody the wiser... I'm not sure why everybody is asking what's so embarrassing about getting a period. That's not really the issue, eh? The question is does she go around shoving her open purse in everybody's face thereby causing a fear of someone catching a tampon to the nose. Then and only then would the bra be a more logical storage unit.

She's saying that people would see her bring her bag with her when she went into the bathroom.

If people ask, then just tell them the truth, it'll be worse for them. Or lie and say something about make up or laddered tights or something... Besides, who asks a girl why she's taking her bag to the toilet? Most people know damn well why and won't think twice about it.

"Besides, who asks a girl why she's taking her bag to the toilet? Most people know damn well why and won't think twice about it." Exactly! The OP has devoted entirely too much energy to the matter, too much being any at all. Good grief.

At work I see women bring their purse to the bathroom all the time; doesn't mean every one of them is on their period.

True, Nero, but my point was that most people don't feel the need to ask about it.
