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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I remember this question in the in the seventies but I can't believe that there are still people in this day and age who are that ignorant about sex ed. I feel sorry for this girl.

She probably didn't mean that it would literally 'de-virginize' you in that sense. A while back, it was believed you were no longer a virgin if your hymen was broken. She was probably asking if it could break your hymen... Which isn't a dumb question, it just wasn't appropriate at the time. >_>

The Hymen cannot break! The hymen is just a slightly thicker ridge of a membrane. The hymen can tear, not break. It is not something that is closing of your ******. Are Americans dumb or just really uneducated?

Are non-Americans assholes or just really pretentious smartasses (not trying to bash non-Americans, just the ones like you)? So she worded it slightly different, so what? That doesn't make her stupid, you ********. I don't know about wherever you come from, but yeah, here in America, most public schools don't go into huge detail about the hymen. She never even IMPLIED that the hymen covered the ******. Besides, some hymens DO cover the ******, they're not all the same. And what do you mean "The hymen is just a slightly thicker ridge of a membrane."? If it's thicker, then why does it tear? I'm not even going to call you stupid, because I don't know you. Who knows how stupid you might be? I tend to not judge peoples' intelligence by their knowledge of female genetalia.

wow that really sucks your moms crazy. but to adress this whole american/non-american thing all i have to say is let that person who thinks americans are stupid have this moment, they probably don't have a lot of moments that make them feel smart or they wouldn't have bothered posting that on here in the first place.

I personally am tired of being generalized! This "Americans are dumb" thing is no longer amusing. I'm an American, and I'm not dumb. Certain people are becoming very self righteous simply because they are not American....

@131 - As soon as you stop saying us Canadians say 'Eh?' every second word.

I'm American, not retarded. I've actually talked to Canadians and although they/you would probably like to believe otherwise, we are generally not that different, intellectually, educationally, or in the way we speak. I have no idea where that 'eh' thing came from....
