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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Sounds like a harassment lawsuit to me...

Shouldn't be embarrassed. Every woman gets their period.

Ydi for actually being ashamed of the fact you have periods!

What I don't understand is how you could possibly hide a tampon in a bra. Wouldn't it show? Turns out it did anyways ^^

Some tampons like o.b. & Tampax Compak are very small....definitely small enough to hide in a bra.

why are you all giving her crap about this? I've heard other girls of storing their tampons in their bra before.

Do you leave your bag out in the opening and leave it opened? If yes, why would you? Seriously, you are not the only person on earth who gets periods, so nobody cares UNTIL you make a deal out of it.. which you did. You brought it upon yourself for being so paranoid that everyone will know you are on your period, or that people will go through your belongings and find them.

This makes no sense. A females purse is a part of her body. Do you let random men put their hands up your shirt? Probably not.. So why would random men search through your handbag? And if for whatever reason your job requires purse searches, I'm pretty sure your fellow employees are old enough to know that all women have a period. Do you leave your purse when you go to the bathroom in a public place? It's not uncommon for a woman to bring her purse with her in a restroom. Honestly, YDI. Money inside a bra is skanky, a tampon inside a bra... Isn't far off from moonlighting as a call girl

A purse is part of a woman's body? Huh...that's odd...you'd think I'd have learned that in bio or clinical med or something... And really? Moonlighting as a call girl? Wtf. Get your head out of your ass. You sound like some feminist bitch.
