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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was changing my tampon in a public toilet. When I threw away the used one and opened a new one, it turned out that it had no thread on it! I took another one out. Again, defective! It was the last one I had with me, and it was the second day of my period. FML
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
Today, I put a tampon in. The string broke. I had to go to the hospital to get it out. 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
Today, while sitting on the toilet, I noticed there was no toilet paper left, so I dug through my purse to use my one and only pad as a substitute. It clogged the toilet, and I started my period ten minutes later. 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, I got my period early. While traveling. For a funeral. I had to walk through two entire airport terminals to find a shop that had any period products, and the only option was an $18 box of tampons. Six tampons, to be precise. FML
Today, I woke up to realize I got my period a week early. The day of the after-wedding brunch. In a sort of remote area. Without pads or tampons. I need to be at the breakfast in a half-hour. FML
Today, I was mugged while changing my tampon. The mugger took everything, including the fresh tampon. 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

Who were you with that you disappeared for 45 minutes and no one came to look for you? You should have just folded up a bunch of layers of toilet paper and put them in your underwear to hold you over long enough to leave the bathroom to ask a friend or another girl for one.

This would be one of the rare exceptions to the 5-second rule, I take it?

This is definitely a big no no on the 5-second rule. Even things I'd put in my mouth, I wouldn't put up there. But also... If you wouldn't put it in your mouth, you definitely wouldn't put it up there. You wouldn't put something that fell on the floor in your mouth, and for those if you who would... I'm sure you wouldn't put something that fell on a bathroom floor in your mouth...and for those of you who still would... that's nasty af... Best rule of thumb tho... whatever you're putting up there should be cleaner than what you'd put in your mouth... if it isn't... you have no business putting it up there... or say hello to whatever infections you caused yourself to get.

So putting Mr. Happy in there after giving your bf oral sex is a non-starter? Then he has my sympathies.... ;-)

Vaginas are so insanely prone to infection. If you put a club bathroom floor tampon in your hooha prepare for a nasty case of thrush and a UTI

Hi there! This is my FML. to answer a few questions; 1) I was 18 when it happened, I’m now 28 so it was 10 years ago, I learnt very quickly that the people I went clubbing with, were not my friends, as they didn’t come to look for me, they just kept partying 2) NO. When it comes to tampons there’s no such rule as the 5 second rule unless you want to die of TSS. 3) no, I couldn’t just wrap toilet paper around my underwear as I had a very heavy flow on the first day. 4) I always carry extra tampons just Incase of situations like this these days, but I was young and incredibly stupid when I was 18....

You could have wrapped TP for long enough to go get another tampon. As for the 45 min wait, I have NEVER been to a club that did not have a girl in the bathroom every couple of minutes.

I bet you have had nastier thing in between your legs just, pick the tampon off the floor and use it
pins91 27
Yeah no. That’s not how it works. That could literally kill you.

What do you do if a Kotex catches fire? Throw it on the floor and tampon it.

Clubbing is so boring now. :/
