[@Kimmullerx]

For the girls out here: I recommend a menstrual cup for the people that use tampons regularly or want to change to tampons. It's very durable. The cup is made of silicone and can be easily cleaned. You can use it for roughly 10 years. It's also great for girls that bleed heavily and think it's a waste of money. You'd think that 10 dollars (I don't know the exact price) is a lot of money at first, but if you calculate you have your period for almost 40 years straight (on average it's 38 years). Also a menstrual cup seems difficult to insert but it needs a bit practice (tampons also need some practice so why not use a menstrual cup instead?) I hope someone'll read this and try it out!❤ Ps. If someone has questions, ask me! Just trying to help girls out!💕

Omg when she said “Jessica... oh, Jessica” it reminded me of Morty from Rick and Morty 😂💀

[@Voldemorti]

how does the story with the ring make sense? if he chased her, how would she have been able to tie it to her tampon string?

[@omgitstracey]

Thinking the same thing...

[@lo-rain]

Maybe it was before he was following her that close and she knew it was coming idk

[@b64771]

Sounds like her grandma hella lied about a lot of stuff honestly. A very embellished story..

[@tamtamr9081]

@@b64771 yes the story doesnt sound real

I need more stories about Merle’s grandma

[@CLB30ROX]

Okay, Merle's story wins this one. That was so incredibly badass. Now we see why Aria' s falling in love with her 😉

[@indiakambeitz4098]

Is it just me that feels like that last story was stolen from a Spanish telenovela 😂

[@hamiltonfan6953]

Connie and “Jessica” are like me and my friend. She and I always go to the bathroom together because when we’re on our periods, we hate being alone. Like one time her bra strap came undone and I helped her fix her bra but that’s a different story😂. Anyways, she was on her period and we both were out of pads, but I had tampons. She had never used one before and I actually had to put it in for her because she didn’t know what she was doing. So I put it in and wash my hands and then later that day at lunch time she and I go into the bathroom and behind the stall door, I hear “THE STRING BROKE THE STRING BROKE WHAT DO I DO?!” and I calm her down and assess the situation. The string is indeed gone, the tampon can’t be pushed out, and she is panicking like crazy. So I wash my hands, lock the stall door, and pull it out of her. Ever since then we have been even closer than before and nothing is awkward with us😂

i hope connie and “jessica” are still friends because that’s a whole different level of friendship

once i put on a tampon cause i was going to the pool, but my period was at its very end so i was really dry. end of story i spent hours with that thing inside of me bc i pulled and pulled and pulled and it was so dry it just WOULDNT COME OUT. i had to lie down and have my mom freaking take it out of me (a low point in my life). i swore i would never wear a tampon again... one month later i wore only tampons for a whole week on my summer vacation.

[@lindseypoyner2839]

G/G That happened to me but I got it out on my own because I didn’t want anyone to help. It was traumatic for me.

[@lanarf1]

That happened to me also and it was by far one of the most embarrasing moments of my life because my boyfriend was the one taking it out. But the one that scared me the most was when I left the tampon over 24 hours hours inside. I never registered in my head I had put it in when I was half sleep and the next day I noticed it in the shower. I was totally freaking out.

[@claudiaestela3135]

Tampons are mostly for the heavy days and should NEVER go in when you’re on your last days because you’re mostly dry. What happens is when you insert it into your vagina you can actually scratch the walls of your vagina which causes the bacteria S. aureus (which is a good bacteria and part of our microbiota) but it CAN turn into a bad bacteria and enter the bloodstream through the scratches and cause TSS.

[@Kuralai95]

Claudia Mora omg I feel like there’s still so much I don’t know about periods. They should seriously teach this all in school. Like have a short one day seminar explaining how things work and all the options we have.

[@claudiaestela3135]

Ailin Ell Yeah it’s a lot of information. I learned this in clinical microbiology as a prerequisite for nursing schools and still the professor said we were ONLY learning the basic of it.

[@dumpster9048]

I can't even imagine using a tampon

[@teenindustry]

The 9 year old story is heartbreaking. She must have been scared and confused

We all need a a friend like Connie....that is the best story..

[@antiboyfriend]

Connie and “Jessica’s” relationship is *wow*

[@flickanrimsky]

period itself is a horror story. first time I used a tampon was when I was 20 and had literally nothing else to use, and my friend gave me one and asked me "do you know how to use it?" and I was like "DUH, it' a tampon, you just put it up there" but I didn't know how high up. and it hurt so bad when I walked and my friend (who only uses tampons) should have told me "it's not supposed to hurt" but she was like "eh, it's nothing" and I walk around the whole day with a tampon and I was wearing a skirt and I felt string on my legs but I couldn't look up there in public, and I definitely noticed some people's eyes on me. and I didn't use a tampon for 2 years after that. then when I used I did the same thing and I was like "it's supposed to hurt, I'll handle this" thank god for GOOGLE

I was 13 trying to use a tampon and I put one in and fainted, it was scary I started to shake and couldn’t control my body and fell to the ground(my lips were white) then my parents took me to the hospital lmao

[@elle1793]

yOuR lOcAl vEgAn why did that happen?

[@madik1785]

Elle 179 i fainted because I thought I was going to get toxic shock syndrome from the tampon. So I basically fainted from anxiety

[@lunartunes6416]

@@madik1785 Understandable, but you would only get a toxic shock if you forget your tampon for like 8 hours, and even then VERY unlikely to happen. I use tampons since I was 13 (I am 16) and totally fine!
