Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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 mom told my dad to get me extra absorbent pads, very loudly, in a crowded mall. FML
Today, while in the store with my kids, they wanted to buy tampons because I am "getting cranky, and it should be that time of the month." FML
Dad priorities
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, I had to sit patiently at the checkout at work, listening to my own father rant about how the twinkies he was buying were "twice the size back in my day", and how "you could buy a dozen of these suckers for just 10 cents." He didn't stop there. No, he tried to haggle over the price. FML
Today, my roommate's shopping addiction reached a whole new level. He bought a box of tampons just because they were 40% off. Yes, he. FML
Today, my dad hid the toilet paper and is charging me 50 cents a roll. FML
I'm always right
Today, my dad got mad at me because after he told me that when I'm not going anywhere to stop putting on perfume, I told him I wasn't wearing any. I took a shower this morning, my hair is still wet. When I tried to explain this, he got pissed and said that I just needed to accept when he told me I was wrong and shit. FML
Today, I had to teach my mother that tampons do not belong in the toilet. FML
*shrinks into corner*
Today, my dad decided to be an awesome person and fold my laundry without telling me. Later, I heard my parents having a conversation about a pair of panties that were "like dental floss" and which sister they belonged to. FML

so did I! though quite frankly I can't see them being a good idea, seeing as how most scented products make down south unhappy in general

I knew they exist, just like scented pads. I also know it's better to avoid them, because they are absolutely not healthy for your vajayay.

Unless your are one of 10% of the population that are lefties. Then it would be normal. Op, your dad is cheap!! Periods don't smell like roses. Your not going not use deodorant because it is too pricy. Who wants to smell like a walking trash can come on now!!

15- In revenge for partially ruining my joke I must point out that not only did you use the wrong you're/your for your context in your first paragraph, but you also added an "are" after it making it completely redundant to have ever needed to use you're/your.

It's not me being full of myself. It is a fact. Whatever, I wasn't really wanting to argue about that. My real goal was to fulfill my profile and get back at someone, who slightly pissed me off, by pointing out a blatant and, in my opinion, large grammatical error. Let us go and laugh at your rather funny profile picture and screw off flooding my thread with random shiznit. Aight?

24, you know I didn't notice that. I'm not sure how that happened, please accept my apology for using awful grammar.

I'm left handed, yet I wank w/ my right...I'm puzzled by this occurrence. I can't figure out why I keep my dominant left hand in reserve...Perhaps to guarantee a strong, superior finish? Maybe to compensate for the disparity between my sub hand vs. my dom hand? Pardon me....I must research...

You can be a lefty and still wank with your right hand.

see now there is no scented birth control just pop the pill and stay off antibiotics and you wont get pregnant or bleed thats what id call win-win
NuTrees 9
Lol who the **** taught you that hog wash!?
kaykay20 0
Um we aren't like dogs we bleed every month and may only spot when were pregnant. Their is birth control pills that can reduce your period over time though but am a bit skeptical about how healthy that really is. Oh and if we have a infection it's not healthy to not take the antibiotics. Best to just not have sex till off the antibiotics and the birth control is working again. Still not sure what that has to do with this fml besides the period part.
minisquid 9
Summary of the above: Girls get periods. You're welcome.
marpay 11
If you take a birth control pill very day and skip the sugar pill you won't have a period. It's commonly known that antibiotics make birth control pill ineffective so if you get sick use a condom to make sure you don't get pregnant. This is what they are trying to say. No period and no pregnancy is a win win.
marpay 11
71- you don't need any to be healthy that is why doctors can give women meds to stop having periods. The only reason you have a period is to prepare your body for a pregnancy so unless you are trying its not needed and can be stopped.

'The only reason you have a period is to prepare your body for a pregnancy' What? I thought the only reason why we girls have periods is to ensure we're not pregnant. They do not prepare our body for pregnancy. Oh, one more thing: nobody knows for certain how many periods a women must have to be healthy. Doctors often say that 4 times a year is enough, but honestly, nobody knows it for sure.
ShyAnn29 15
I get the depo shot and haven't had a period in several years, and I'm fine. If it wasn't healthy they wouldn't be giving a shot like that to woman
salvorican 24
Okay we get periods because our body is preparing it's self to get pregnant. You should probably google the cycle. And by what my gynecologist tells me is that we really are only supposed to get our periods about 4 times a year. Sorry if I said something that wasn't correct
22cute 17
Your gynocologist doesn't know that. It's just like all the gynocoligists who used to tell their patients to get on hormone replacement therapy after menopause. Now they know it causes breast cancer. One day we'll find out depo causes uterine cancer ... When enough of you get it.
ShyAnn29 15
101 I get that shot because my cramps were very painful, and I have chronic abdominal pain anyways, so the cramps were the pain I could have taken away! I'm not getting it just because I don't want periods!
ninjaCarebear 17
82- you're an idiot. Girls have periods to prepare for a baby. The blood and everything else that comes out is stuff so an egg can plant itself on the uterine wall and grow. When the egg isn't fertalized, all the blood and tissue and other stuff sheds out and then the body starts building up the uterine wall again.

if u get sick who the hell would have sex with u
charlieohcharlie 12
What kind of question is that? Periods are not to be spoken of between a dad and his daughter? Because his/her mother: - did not have time to go shopping and get tampons (for herself or the daughter in the family) - is ill - is deceased and OP is being brought up by his/her father now.

Or your just stupid enough to believe what the pharmaceutical company told your doctor to believe...or what he/she was paid to promote

126 are you talking to me? I'm not stupid, I'd be in a hell of a lot more pain than I am now if I was still having my period! So I think for me, the shot is a good thing
MsKittyKatWeber 10
I just worry about what docs tell their patients. I know a lot about "those" drugs that docs throw at their hurting patients, but what they may not tell you is the long term damage the drugs do to your reproductive system. There are other ways to deal with it, trust me I understand your pain. Always fully educate yourself on what's going into your body please :)

syed121417 22
Actually, periods do both. Periods do tell us we're not pregnant but they also tell us we're fertile. One of the reasons a woman's hips get wider as she grows sis because of her uterus and ******. For example, a young teen's cervix will not be as wide as a woman already done with puberty, even if the woman is a virgin.
syed121417 22
I completely agree with you. And plus, personally, even though I have my mom my dad buys pads and tampons for me a lot because I'm just really close with him and most of the time my mom is tired or busy and my dads out anyways
kelsey_katie 17
That's dumb. It's a firetrucking tampon. As long as it does the job, you're good.
overthelimit 3
Don't buy the scented ones anyway, they could give you a yeast infection.
StoryOfTheYear 15
^^^ Then you can't raise any dough. In more ways than one. Can I laugh at my own lame joke, or no?
22cute 17
No, he's right. Tampons and pads are way over priced. There should be a tax break for it.
Vintage_Cola 29
#102 It's all about extortion: if a lot of people need it and it's imperative that they use it then companies can charge whatever they want for them, kinda like bras. Bras are required in basically all school/work dress codes so companies that make them can charge hefty prices for them.

Why is your dad buying tampons?

Obviously, they are tampons for either OP or another female in OP'sfamily..

Because most parents supply their daughter with all the things to stay clean and sanitary. It's like buying soap and deodorant it's something you need so they buy it.
CrazyGirl445 4
my dad often buys my tampons. if I'm away on a trip with him and didn't bring any I kinda have to get him to buy them for me.
cc_the_beast 6
Why can't you buy them?
marinus_fml 20
I'm sure you're dad could just get the non scented ones. Either way it's gonna end up smelling like a lot of blood anyway.

If he's so bent up about it theirs coupons and the off brand cardboard or plastic tampons (preferred) works the same as name brand. With pads stick with name brand with wings like always. The cheap off brands of pads don't work as well.
CrazyGirl445 4
I actually prefer the non brand tampons.
