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, 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

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, 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, 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 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

Women have three holes so that when they get drunk, they can be carried home like a bowling ball.

Some people's children.... are male? did not have a human anatomy course in high school? were sheltered from learning about the human reproductive system? Really, ladies: when men think about your genitals, we tend to think about what we can put into them, not about what comes out of them. To a man who has lived in the United States, and grown in it's 'education' system, it's not unexpected that they (who have never had to experience a period, nor spent inordinate amounts of time watching women urinate) expect women to urinate through the big, obvious opening. The state of our education system is such that it is difficult to teach human anatomy and physiology, and understandably, the excretory process is typically not dealt with in any specific detail. Therefore, unless your boyfriend was a VERY curious child and his mother was very open, I find it hard to believe it could be expected for him to know exactly where your urethra is.

The OP doesn't mention a name. Since she's from West Virginia, there's a good chance she and her boyfriend are 13 years old.

88- What does being from WV have to do with OP's age? are you saying that ALL West Virginian's are 13? I'm pretty sure that I'm 24, so I was just wondering if I've been wrong about my age my entire life.

just because they are from west Virginia doesn't mean they are teenagers but the odds of them being cousins goes up. haha

OP's boyfriend is the embodiment of the argument for bringing back the Human Biology course that used to be part of the school curriculum years ago. How pathetic that there are human's that don't even understand their own species. Being male is not an excuse for not understanding the physiology of the female body. I'm a woman and I know how the male body works - it's called 'EDUCATION'! For #73, the string DOES get wet. A clean and hygiene conscious female will change her tampon with each bathroom visit to prevent yeast infection (from damp conditions) and unpleasant odour (stale urine).

Actually, if you pee more than every 4 hours, changing your tampon each time can cause toxic shock syndrome. Haven't you ever read the instructions in the tampon box?

Having a fresh tampon in an environment that is too dry (changing the tampon too often) also leads to TSS... or using an ultra-absorbing tampon on a light flow day, leads to TSS also. Not to mention how painful it is to put in and pull out a tampon when you're too dry.

There are ways to pee without getting the string wet, so you know. It's not mandatory to change it every time unless you have no idea how to avoid getting it wet.

this dyke is so educated she spelled odor wrong

429 - Depending on where you live, it can be 'odor' or 'odour'. Maybe you should look these things up before telling someone off so that you don't look like a douche.
