Today, my mother and I went to Wal-Mart to buy pads. I suggested I get tampons instead, so that I can go swimming at my boyfriend's cottage. My mother then goes to the nearest store employee and asks, "excuse me, if my daughter uses a tampon, does that mean she is no longer a virgin?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I had to teach my mother that tampons do not belong in the toilet. FML
Today, at my cousin's birthday party, my grandma took me to one side, slipped me a pad, and started ranting that tampons "steal your virginity" and that I should never use them. Well, okay then. FML
Today, my mom threw my tampons in the garbage and said that from now on, I'll be buying pads instead. Turns out she read a scare story going around by email that all the local teens are soaking their tampons in alcohol and inserting them anally to secretly get drunk. FML
Today, my mom lost her shit because I was teaching my daughter about tampons. Apparently, they were created by radical feminists to trick women into “stealing” their own virginities, in order to make them unsuitable brides for decent men. I can’t believe I came out of this repressed psycho. 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, my boyfriend asked me how women could urinate with a tampon in. FML
Today, my mother and I went to a meeting at my school about a camping trip the students in my grade will be going on. When the time to ask questions came, my mother raised her hand and loudly asked, "What if my child is on their period during the trip?" FML
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, my mom told my dad to get me extra absorbent pads, very loudly, in a crowded mall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

actually, victorioustunnel, i think you're the idiot here. there are two "places" down there: one is the urethra, which leads to the bladder; and the other is the ******. and since neither penis nor tampon goes up the urethra, they obviously do go in the same place. do your research (or maybe just attend health class) before you make offhanded know-it-all comments. (not that using a tampon constitutes the loss of virginiy.)

agreed! they go in the same place. if you're sticking anything up your urethra, you're going to be in flat out pain. however, that being said, tampons and penises do not feel similar. if you put a tampon in correctly, you cannot feel it. you can definitely feel a penis.....

That sounds like something a sheltered preteen would ask, not a mother. And who comes right out and asks a complete stranger that anyway? Wow.
