Periods. Most months, you can keep everything fine and managed, and then there’s just those times when it is causing you every problem in the world. The worst? When your period causes a totally embarrassing situation.
Over the past year or so, our “All About Your Period” survey has gotten hundreds (literally!) of responses from all of you talking about your menstrual moments. I am completely serious when I say props to all of you who were brave enough to share your embarrassing period stories with the Gurl community.
I feel pretty confident saying that all of us have had or will have an embarrassing period moment at some point in our lives. Sometimes knowing that other girls have gone through similar situations too can help make the aftermath of these moments more bearable. Here are fifteen of your responses to our survey asking, “What’s your most embarrassing period story?”

I had one yesterday, it wasn’t really embarrassing because no one saw, I was thankful for wearing a coat so that it would hide the stain, if I hadn’t been wearing a coat then who knows someone might have seen the stain. I went to the theme park yesterday with my boyfriend and I went to the toilet and found I had leaked onto my panties ad a tiny bit onto my jeans. I had no pads with me, I didn’t expect to start for another 1 or 2 days. The only idea I have when I have no pads is to use some rolled up toilet paper. Then I left it at that. At the end of the day before getting the bus to go home. I felt something wet and I knew the toilet paper had probably slipped and I had blood on me ewww. So popped to the toilet, the toilet paper had slipped and now there was an even bigger stain on my jeans. It was invisible through the front lol, and it was wet too, so I worried when I would get on the bus and sit down, it would leave a mark on the seat. (then the bus was so full I had to stand anyway so didn’t have to worry about the sitting) and by the time we got off the bus and went on the train the blood had probably dried so when I sit down it wouldn’t leak on the train seat.
The annoying thing about leaking onto my clothes and having to leave it for a while and it dries on til’ I can get home to wash the stain, sometimes it’s dried on so much it takes a while to remove the stain grrr. lol
I had an embarrassing moment just today actually…. I bled through my shorts while in the middle of the department store my friend works at while shopping with one of my guy friends…. and I had to wait for my (girl) friend to buy me a new pair of pants and bring them to me in the bathroom… The drive home with my guy friend was totally awkward…
I was out to eat with my boyfriend, he got up to pay and when I got up to follow *poof* everything had leaked out and down my leg (I was wearing a pad). There was a clear trail down my leg and a little on the floor, so I had to clean it off the floor before quickly shimmying to the bathroom on the opposite side of the room.
okay so basically I was on my period and I was wearing a pad so I was safe until last (5th) period when I didn’t realise that I leaked through my school trousers, my tracksuit bottom AND my leggings. So when I stood up to go and get my coursework from the printing room I then realised that there was blood all over my chair. The worst part is that my teacher noticed. I still can’t look at her in her eyes.
Hehe. I haven’t had my period yet. I hope my crush doesn’t have to tell me I bled through though!
This didn’t happen to me, my German teacher told the whole class this to stop the girls taking aspiring while on their period.
Apparently, she had this pupil who was always pretending she was ill to get out of class. one day, she had a bad stomach ache and had taken aspirin to get rid of it. The teacher didn’t believe she actually had a stomach ache. At the end of the class, the teacher noticed that there was a puddle of blood all over the girls chair and on the floor under the chair.
All i can say is I’m so glad that didn’t happen to me.
The white pants… well my mom wore white pants when she got her first period. Even worse: it wasn’t her pants. She borrowed them from her cousin, who also is her best friend (still). She tried to wash them. In warm water… Her cousin told her to wash them in cold wather but mom didn’t litsen… Let’s just say she never forgott what tempature to wash of blood in after that…
I was working at a summer horse camp for like 6 y/o and this one pony was being a really dick for the kid so I got on him because my coach couldn’t ride (she was pregnant at the time). My coach lent me her $5000 saddle to ride in. Of course I got my period in the middle of riding. I bled on her saddle. Luckily I was wearing a long shirt. I cleaned her saddle about 20 times, and volunteered for the rest of the summer instead of getting paid (I told her I needed more hours). The wort part of it was I started crying in front of the kids and I had to make up a story because I didn’t really feel like say “I just get a little crazy on my period.”. I still can’t really look my coach in the eye when she’s using her saddle. She never found out, either.
I’m 14 and haven’t had a embarrassing period story but I’m sorry for you all
So, I was sitting in my chair when second period started and I had to get up and go. I didn’t realise I’d bled – and the fact that I’d stained the chair… didn’t really help!
I cant WAIT for it to start. I just hope its not when my crush is looking…
once I went to an over night camp and it was the last day so we were preparing to go home and I had on WHITE shorts and my monthly hell came earlier than expected and I bled through and I didn’t have an extra anything, long story short I had to wrap a towel around my bottom half and walk in front of my entire camp plus some tourist. My moma was pissed. And that is just one of many.
Oh boy I have quite a few.. but the one that strikes me most is I was wearing pastel pink skinny jeans and I bled through them during 7th period. I had blood on the chair and had to sit on my binder during 8th period.
I have at least five pads in any locker at any time and an extra outfit (Pants, a shirt, underwear, shoes and a bra!) I usually am 100% prepared! Except when I was in seventh grade and it was ‘blizzard day’. I knew I had started but wanted to do it anyway! Whoops!
