Heavy Flow!
Things You Understand Only If You Have A Heavy Period
I truly hate seeing those commercials where the girl is on her period and she’s dancing and running and jumping. Good for you sis, but that ain’t me. When I’m on my period, I want to lay down somewhere in a corner, in the fetal, and cry slash eat slash die. When I try to move and feel that warm sensation, I know it’s time to go sit down somewhere because a tidal wave is coming.
Let’s get down to the bloody truth. For the population of us folks that have heavy periods, you’ll get where I’m coming from. I’ve compiled a list of situations you’ll only understand if your flow is mad heavy.
Numero uno. You dread going out to places or events that you know you’ll be sitting for long durations. You’ll question the strength and loyalty of your feminine products. As you feel the levy breaking every time you laugh, cough, stand up or adjust. You hope to GOD, that the seating options are not white.
Two. Going to work is a whole thing. Not only do you have to bring your own toilet seat covers, but you also have to bring sanitizer wipes and a bag with your super-duper plus tampons and pads. You wonder if people are staring at you as you take your grocery bag full of things into the restroom. And don’t forget you have to use the handicap stall just to feel comfy.
