Today, in class, I reached into my bag to pull out a tampon, which I hid under my sleeve so I could make a quick escape to the restroom. My teacher yelled at me, because she thought I'd taken out my phone. I then had to prove myself by showing the tampon to the whole class. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I bought a box of tampons and went to the store restroom to insert one. I then put the box inside my purse. On my way out, I got stopped by security, who yelled at me to empty my purse. He grabbed my bag, spilling the tampons everywhere. Apparently, he thought I was stealing. 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, a guy sitting next to me in class asked me for a pen. I accidentally handed him a tampon instead. FML
Today, I used the bathroom that the high school shares with elementary kids. As I was pulling my pants down, my phone fell out of my pocket into the other stall. As I was reaching for it, the little girl in the other stall took it and ran away. FML
Today, I had just reached in my purse without looking to grab a granola bar when my boss walked in my office. We talked for a few minutes as he kept giving me strange looks and looking at my hand. He left and I realized I hadn't taken a granola bar out, but a tampon instead. FML
Today, in science class, I was bored and playing with a paper towel, dipping it into a container of water. When my teacher caught me and asked what I was doing, I panicked and said I was "drying the water." FML
Today, I didn't have any money to buy a tampon from the dispenser at my school but my hands are small enough so I can just slide them up and grab one. My hand got stuck in the dispenser and my school had to call the fire department. Now everyone calls me "Tampon Girl." FML
Today, I was worried about passing an exam, so I hid a note under my skirt. When the guy next to me was finished, I had to get up so he could leave. With no time to hide the note, I stood in front of the entire class, hand over my crotch, looking as if I had to pee. FML
Today, at school, I got stuck in the elevator and was about to panic before I remembered I had my phone. I called my mother and she called the school to tell them that I was stuck. They got me out in a few minutes and then confiscated my phone and gave me two detentions for using it in school. FML
Today, I was substitute teaching a high school English class. A student discreetly told me that my zipper was open. I tried to zip it up, but the zipper got caught on my underwear. When I bent down to pick up my pen, my pants split. Before I turned around, I heard the sound of phones taking pictures. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Look her straight in the eyes, shove that tampon up your nose, and remain eye contact. She'll never call you out like that again.

It's only natural... I hope the teacher feels like a dick now though!

73 and 77 are not Tumblr people, I'm guessing. On topic, I agree with the folks that are saying there's no need to be embarrassed. I understand that it's not something you want to just randomly announce it to the class, but if they find you, you don't need to feel embarrassed. It's no secret that girls get periods. Anyone snickering or teasing just needs to grow up a little.

You shouldn't be embarrassed about that only because its natural and every female gets it.

Depends how old she is. If she's in like 6th or 7th grade it would be shitty cause a) not all her female classmates have gotten theirs yet and b) boys at that age are extremely immature about these things, and she'd probably get teased for it.

I thought the same thing. I got mine when I was 11 and felt really embarassed about it for the first couple years since most of my classmates got theirs at 15 or 16. My first thought after reading the FML was "why are you ashamed? It's pretty natural." as well but yes, op could easily be in 7th or 8th grade where most girls would feel ashamed in such a situation.

Even if she is in high school it would be embarrassing having to show her tampon to the entire class. Just because it is something natural, that all girls go through, doesn't mean announcing it to a whole class wouldn't embarrass you. Getting an erection is completely normal for guys, and it's something that can happen randomly. Just because it's natural doesn't mean a guy wouldn't be embarrassed to tell his whole class that he has one. Just because something is natural doesn't mean you're comfortable telling everyone about it.

That's why you stick it in your pocket. Or, if you can, wait till class is over.

Some of us have to change more often than that.

My flow has been so heave that I've had to change on the hour to prevent leaking.

It's really nothing to be ashamed of. Every girl goes through it. It's natural. People have to get over that

Ain't no shame. It's natural for a woman. We take tarried at my school for that kinda thing so I just take mine out, embarrass the teacher (most of them are men), and I get a free pass. Ain't…no…shame!

Sometimes you have to change it more than once an hour. In this case you can't really say they should have changed it before class and they would have been fine because for all you know they did.
