Today, I decided to make the switch from pads to tampons. My boyfriend ended up having to show me how to apply them. FML

Today, I used a menstrual cup for the first time. I couldn't get it out, after what seemed like ages of trying. I had to ask my boyfriend to help me. He'll never look at me the same way again. FML

Today, I had my boyfriend come over for dinner for the first time. It was all going well until my dad started explaining to my boyfriend how to use toilet paper. He even demonstrated it. FML

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

At least he knew. Saved you from an awkward conversation with your mother or your best female friend. I'd keep him around, for sure.

This is so good and pure

That's so sweet of him. It does sound like it would be awkward, but at least he was so helpful. A lot of people don't know how to use them or don't. I'm 22 and don't because I just don't like the sound of it. And from the look of it, it can be confusing the first time. It's not like people are generally doing things like that anyway all the time.

reminds me of when my girlfriend switched from using tampons to a cup. she didn't know how to get it out, it had stuck to her like a suction cup because she didn't insert it completely right. she started panicking so I did some quick googling and then got it out for her.

I don't see how this is a bad thing, most men don't want to hear about a women's period, let alone teach you to use one. Your boyfriend is a good man and you should be very happy!

Was this accompanied by the guilt of losing your virginity?

1. There shouldn't be any guilt about choosing to have sex. 2. Using tampons has nothing to do with sex or virginity. Using a tampon does not mean you're not a virgin.

Anyone that has studied simple biology would know that. My joke went straight over your head. Because you know some people do think they lost their virginity from using a tampon.

Maybe it's because your joke just wasn't very funny.

That's honestly really sweet of him to do. Warms my heart.

Least he's not an ass who gets freaked out by periods

How is a person an ass for freaking out about it? I don't before you assume I do, but it's just something that a person may find uneasy. It's kind of hypocritical for most people who say that as they usually feel grossed out about something else thats normal...

I find it easier to put one foot on the toilet lid/edge of the bathtub. That tends to open things up 'down there'. You need to know your body!

That's nice of him.

Well, I guess technically he would be the expert at putting things in the ******. *Ahem* *Cough*
