Today, I went to the store for some pads with my dad. We got them and then went to the cashier. That's when he realized that they were scented. He took one out of the box, sniffed it, made me sniff it, then insisted the cashier smell it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, after finishing the laundry, I took clothes out of the dryer and took a big whiff of their delicious clean scent. That was when I noticed that my mom was watching me, and I had just smelled my dad's still-stained underwear that was on top. FML
Today, my mom told my dad to get me extra absorbent pads, very loudly, in a crowded mall. FML
Today, I tried on a new perfume. When my boyfriend hugged me, he commented that I smelled like his mom. I don't know who was more surprised by the simultaneous bulge in his pants. FML
Today, I was walking in Walmart with my dad. We walked past the deodorant aisle. My dad said, "Need any deodorant?" I said, "No thanks." He replied, "That was a hint." FML
Today, I told my dad I was going to Walgreens and asked if he needed anything. He needed condoms, and that I should call him when I get there so he can explain the kind he likes. FML
Today, there was a laundry basket of my clothes sitting in my room. My dad asked me if they were clean or not. When I said I didn't know, he picked up a piece of my clothing, sniffed it, and said it smelled fine. That piece of clothing just so happened to be my underwear. 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 dad and I were at the grocery store buying toilet paper. As we walk out I see these two attractive guys that I know. My dad gets that I think they're cute, so he shouts "Hey babe, how's your stomach feeling now? Will this be enough for you?" They walk away laughing. FML
Today, I was doing the laundry but couldn't tell if one basket contained dirty clothes or clean clothes. I put my head down into the basket and took a whiff to check, and smelled something strong. I looked down and noticed I had shoved my nose into my mother's dirty panties and inhaled deeply. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Scented pads? First time I have heard of. Probably because Norway is slow with those stuff.. But when I think about it, pads kind of have a special weird sent about it anyway.. So FYL for having a dad that embarrasses you. At least your dad is not afraid to show what he means, and that can be good sometimes

What if her dad is a single dad?! You just sound like a complete jerk saying she deserves it for taking her dad!

Although your dad embarrassed you, maybe joking like that is a coping-mechanism he has for awkward situations. Kudos to your dad for doing what needed to be done, even if it put him out of his comfort zone. On a side note, scented pads/tampons can cause infections.

that's what I was thinking. He was probably just trying to make the best out of an uncomfortable situation. I wonder what the age/sex of the cashier was...that would make all the difference in how embarrassing it would be. OP, one day you and dad will laugh about this...or never ever bring it up. I think he was just as uncomfortable as you were and was just trying to lighten things up--dads just don't get that girls won't find the same humor in some jokes that boys will.

I can just imagine OP's dad with the Me Gusta face while doing this.

He's just trying to teach his little girl to slow down and smell the coochies every now and then.

Saying she's gross for wearing pads is stupid. Pads are better than tampons, wearing tampons for too long can cause a horrible infection.

It just depends who you are where you're gonna be and what your comfortable with

Sorry to hear your dad embarrassed you like that, OP. You sound young and what your dad did can be very embarrassing for a young girl.

This whole argument of tampons vs. pads and which is better is getting annoying. It's simply a matter of a preference. If you wear tampons properly then they shouldn't cause any problems (infection, etc.). If you leave a tampon in for 12 hours and then wonder why you are having an infection then it's your own darn fault. Personally, I don't like pads. They shift. They allow leaks on the sides. And I don't like the way they feel in your underwear. However, I am not going to sit here and try to convince every woman that tampons is the way to go for her. I understand that tampons may be just as uncomfortable for some as the pads are for me. Get off your high horse, #68, and accept that we all have differences of opinion and preference. Edit: This was supposed to be a reply to #68. Clicking reply didn't work, I guess.
