A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I found a diaper in the parking lot. It's been raining all morning. This was the wrong day to wear flip-flops. FML
It burns down there
Today, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. FML

Today, at work, I wet my pants. I had to throw my tighty-whities away. Since I didn't have underwear on, I chafed real bad and got a rash on my butthole and near my balls. I had to push my boyfriend off of me, all because it hurt too much to touch. FML

Splatter analysis
Today, after I wore a pad last night, I woke up this morning, took off my underwear to use the bathroom, and a huge period glob flew hit the rug and splattered everywhere. The globs got on every piece if clothing I wore. I then had to clean what looked like a crime scene. FML

Leaked
Today, at the ripe age of 29, I pooped my pants. It was a little diarrhea and I had expected it to be a fart, so I quickly had to grab my shorts, waddling to the bathroom, commando. FML

What even is that?
Today, I felt an itch on my butt so I went to the bathroom to scratch it. It was actually a dried layer of skin that broke from years of wear and tear, and now every time I shit I feel immense pain for the next hour. FML

Shitty situation
Today, I had explosive diarrhea. I got off the toilet to change my 3 year-old's poopy diaper. He was being stubborn, so I was going to go back to the toilet, which is when he laid down. I thought I could do it. I couldn't. He ran around diaperless as I ran back to the toilet with liquid shit running down my leg. FML

Today, my mom told my dad to get me extra absorbent pads, very loudly, in a crowded mall. FML

I feel your pain. Due to a medical issue I once had to wear one for 4 months and my job required me to walk 10 or so miles every day. The end result was painful af

Well damn how long did you have the pad on for

don't have to wear something very long to get a rash from it. pads have chemicals in them, if someone is allergic to some of them they will break out very quickly.

Actually the majority of rashes do itch, that's why rash cream has some elements of itch cream in it.

Did you pee in it? Or just sweat in it profusely?
Demon_of_Light 27
Or, you know, bleed in it?

Honestly this doesn't really surprise me. Pads do feel like you're wearing a diaper I'm guessing.

You were wearing it too long. I made that mistake once. Change it more often, or if it's just because you sweat a lot try a little baby powder to help keep things as dry as possible (considering that pads naturally become damp with all the blood and such).

Don't use baby powder. It can cause yeast infections.

Definitely don't use baby powder/talcum powder. It's been linked to ovarian cancer.

Baby powders are made with corn starch now and do not cause yeast infections or cancer!* But there still is the issue with the fragrance causing irritation. Get unscented. Or just use corn starch. *exclamation point is because I'm glad they finally outlawed it in most places. Talc was causing a lot of respritory issues in babies.

Or maybe she wasn't wearing it too long. Could've been a reaction to something in it or a material used. I can use Bandaid's/wound covers, but walgreens brand cause immediate intense itching. It's the material or (most likely) their adhesive. I'm just trying to say (as others have) it can be an allergy specific to this brand.

Or not. I change mine every other hour or so. I get the same thing. I'm thinking of switching to tampons (Sorry for the Tmi everybody :) )

not that surprising to me haha I get them too but it's because I'm allergic to all disposable pads :/

Have you tried cloth pads or period underware? Those might be good options for you :)
