Today, during my boyfriend's family reunion, I started my period but didn't have any tampons. I asked my boyfriend to ask his mom if she had any. I sat on the toilet waiting, then heard him loudly ask his whole family, "Does anybody have a tampon my girlfriend can have?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend asked me how women could urinate with a tampon in. FML
Today, while I was at my boyfriend's house, I got my period. About an hour after I told him, he impatiently said, "Is it over yet?" 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, my boyfriend and I took a late night drive, and after a while he stopped at a gas station and asked if I wanted anything. I replied, "Guess." He came out and gave me a box of tampons. Apparently, I've been bitchy. FML
Today, I asked my dad to take me to the store so I could get some feminine hygiene products. When we got there, he went running down the aisles yelling, "Help! My daughter's bleeding to death! Where're the tampons?!" FML
Today, my tampon string was hanging from my bathing suit. My boyfriend thought it was a thread hanging from my bikini bottom. He publicly pulled out my tampon. FML
Today, I got a text from my boyfriend whilst on the train home from spending the weekend with him at his grandparents' house. It said, "Gran says to tell you that the bin beside the toilet is actually for storing spare shampoos and toothbrushes, so could you not put your tampons in it next time?" FML
Today, I woke up to use the restroom, because I had to take a shit. There was basically no toilet paper left. I asked my boyfriend if he could go get some. It was 1 a.m. He said he’d go when the stores were open, then told me to just rinse off in the shower. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house, hanging out with him and his mom. I had to do a number two. A while later, we hear his mom in the washroom. She had turned on the bathtub and was flushing the toilet. A lot. Later on, my boyfriend leaves the room and she says, “Did you make that mess in the toilet?” 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Chances are they'll never let you live it down, too. Say in ten years you're married, then somebody brings it up. You may doubt it, but people love to remember embarrassing things.

Totally what a guy would do though, you gotta admit. At least he seems like an easy going guy.

Girls having there period is the equivalency of guys getting a boner... It's normal!!
gabrielbaby 9
I think they meant the fact that he shouted it to his family.

33- A period is not equal to a boner. Guys son't get boners once a week, and when they do, blood doesn't come out their dick. Also, girls dont get their period when stimulated...

It really is not a big deal though! What a randomly embarrassing memory, but at the same time it's the embarrassing memories that can sometimes remind you of how much you really love the person!

Must be a pretty chill family for him to yell something that personal lol...or maybe he was just messing with you:P
RadioOctopus 16
thats not embarassing its a normal body function its like asking where the bathroom is lol
heartlessj 8
Except she was asking to borrow a pussy plug

Its just a bit of cotton with string on it... I have to agree with 6, it's only as big a deal as people make it out to be.. It's normal and emergencies happen. Op could have got it earlier than expected..
gabrielbaby 9
I agree too. It's like using the bathroom, sleeping, and even eating. It happens, You can't stop it naturally. Which really sucks.

I'm sick of comments on FMLs like these ones where people basically accuse the OP of being the most immature people in the world for getting embarrassed by this stuff. The human body is completely natural... but I'd still be humiliated if a bunch of strangers accidently saw me naked. Taking a crap is a perfectly normal bodily function but I don't announce that I'm going to go shit to the whole room when I feel the need. This would be a completely embarrassing situation to be in. The OP isn't embarrassed they know she mentrates, she's embarrassed that in front of people she barely knows she was currently on her period, not to mention on the toilet with a lack of tampons. Sorry, but that is not something I'd want to happen to me even if menstrating is completely normal. It doesn't make me immature or stupid either.

i dunno personally i wouldnt be embarassed i obviously have my period and everyone knows just by seeing im an older girl why hide it? and this is completely different than being nude in front of tons of people, how would someone get to that? needing a tampon happends WAY more often than needing clothes because yours just happen to dissapear.

Was that enough to break the ice, or did it just make things worse?

oooh that sucks, but you couldve thought more in advance, never bad to be ready even if you don't need it. but those situations are more than a little uncomfortable.... what a great way to be remembered by the family!
gabrielbaby 9
An amazing way to be remember. Hey it's the girl who needed the tampon :)

I'm paranoid about being caught out without any protection at that time of the month so I always have some in the hidden pockets of every handbag and backpack I own!
