Periods: Can’t live with them… pass the chocolate-covered Midol.
The most annoying thing about getting your period is… well, all of it. It feels like your ovaries are trying to escape your body, everything’s the worst, and there’s no such thing as period leave. And have you ever noticed it always seems to show up right before an important work thing, relationship thing, or vacation thing? To top it off, the only alternatives are pregnancy and menopause. As. If.
But hey, at least we’re in this together. Here, 23 thoughts we’ve all had during our period:
1. “Uh oh…”
2. “This underwear cost me $24!”
3. “I don’t even want kids.”
4. “Crampscrampscrampscrampscramps.”
5. “Excuse me while I endlessly Google tampon horror stories.”
6. “I need to learn how to do more things in the fetal position.”
7. “Welp, another bed sheet bites the dust.”
8. “OMG, why are there so many different kinds of tampons?!”
9. “Too. Many. Feelings.”
10. “This aisle of family-sized junk food is EVERYTHING.”
11. “How can I check to see if there’s leakage without looking like I’m checking to see if there’s leakage?”
12. “Clearly, tampon commercials are written by men.”
13. “Why does everything have to suck?”
14. “Seriously, where is all the poop coming from?!”
15. “I need a purse just for tampons.”
16. “If one more person says, ‘At least you’re not pregnant…'”
17. “I should totally hit the gym.”
18. “I really want to have sex right now, but I really don’t want him to touch me.”
19. “I was supposed to get my period five minutes ago OH MY GOD I’M PREGNANT.”
20. “Will this ever be over?”
21. “I miss wearing underwear that doesn’t go up to my neck.”
22. “It’s like my ovaries are forcing me to watch this Nicholas Sparks movie.”
23. “I don’t want to do anything like, EVER again.”
