Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on a crowded bus on the way back from my boyfriend's when I suddenly had a terrible nose bleed. I had no tissues, so instead I had to use last night's underwear from my bag. FML
Today, while getting on a city bus, I sat down on a urine-soaked seat. FML
Today, I put a tampon in. The string broke. I had to go to the hospital to get it out. FML
Today, I have severe endometriosis and it's severely damaged my bowels. I was on a bus, and we got stuck in a traffic jam. The bus was delayed by 40 minutes and whilst I was stuck on it, I pooped myself. An old lady gave me a shawl to hide the damage. FML
Today, I was mugged while changing my tampon. The mugger took everything, including the fresh tampon. FML
Today, I was on my hour long bus ride home with a full bladder. Right as the bus reached my stop, the time I spent holding it in was over. I didn't make it out of the aisle before I peed my pants. FML
Today, I used the bathroom on a bus from New York to Boston, and carefully covered the seat with twenty of the single-square toilet paper rations. As I was peeing, the bus flew over a bump and swerved sharply, and my entire naked bottom was splashed with urine and poop. It wasn't my own. FML
Today, I was on the bus. I heard a click right before something small hit my cheek. I looked over to see the lady next to me cutting her long, dirty fingernails. The bus was too crowded to move and It was a 20 minute ride to work. 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 took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Natural bodily functions aren't gross but that doesn't mean they can't be unsanitary which is why people SHOULD wash their hands after dealing with bodily fluids whether it be blood, urine, or feces. It is, in fact, a health concern.

I need brain bleach after picturing this scenario.

Pads are better for situations such as these. And everyone saying do it later, some of us suffer from extreme flow and cant do it later, lest we look like victims of a stabbing in the nether regions.

Hope the bus wasn't crowded...

The twist is, she's in Indiana so she was the only one on it.

Periods don't always come when they're supposed to...... She may have been caught by surprise.

Tampons are more portable.

I use pads myself.... However I have extremely heavy flows that sometimes leak out after a couple hours.

The diva cup is the best. You only have to change it every 12 hours and it's reusable.

#49 Hell yes cups are the most sanitary and least noticable out of pads (which are comparible to the feeling of wearing a diaper) or tampons (which can cause toxic shock syndrome if left in a bit too long) They definitely do not get the recognition they deserve.

#49 & #52, I've always wondered how one deals if they had to empty it in a public restroom. You're supposed to rinse it out between uses, right?

I'm with 52 in my opinion on cups; but not necessarily with 49. There's lots of awesome cups out there aside from Diva, and Diva can be too long for many women. Also, though you can go up to 12 hours before changing a cup; how often it needs to be changed depends on the individual. Cups are cleaner (once you get used to them), comfier, and healthier than tampons. They have more capacity and colored cups are quite cute! As for 22, you might want to try Domino Pads. They're reusable and come in lots of sizes and absorbencies. They're really soft and have awesome colors like blue, purple, and green- and they just make you feel so much comfier during that special type of hell us ladies go through every month.

58- We can clean a cup in the stall with a isopropyl alcohol wipe. Can't get much cleaner than that!

Get over it, 72. You're already perusing the comments on a post about periods.

That my friend, is skill beyond compare.

Could have stuffed a few tissues down there... Or a pad. Which could have been like adjusting your jeans.

Tissues are way more messy depending on the flow.

All I can say is I'm impressed!
