We all do things that we don’t really want to admit to doing, am I right? Yes, of course I’m right. It’s like when you go home and eat an entire family-sized bag of chips while binge watching Gossip Girl and then your friends are like, “What did you do last night?” and you’re like, “Oh, just went to the gym and cleaned my room, I was super productive.”
I was really inspired by this Buzzfeed post because, um, it’s completely true. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t do these things. That’s what I thought, you can’t. Like I said, we all do ridiculous/gross/weird things that we just don’t discuss in public… especially when it comes to our periods. Menstruation isn’t something that everyone can just chat about over brunch, you know? Here are 12 things we do when we’re on our period that we don’t want to admit to doing. You’re totally going to read these out loud to your friends and be like, “EWW who does this stuff?” while secretly thinking, “Thank God I’m not the only one!”
Flushing Your Tampons Down The Toilet When People Tell You Not To
You use the bathroom somewhere where there's a sign like, "Feminine products in the garbage please!" but you're like, eh, I'm gonna flush it anyway. Then the toilet overflows later and everyone is like, "Did anyone flush something else down there?" and you're all like, "Oh man, who would do that? Weird." You've been there.

You know what happens the second you start PMSing - your cramps become your reason for getting out of everything. Oh, gym class? No thanks, you'd rather take a nap in the nurses office. Go to that lame party your friends want to go to? Ugh, you wish you could, but... cramps. It's basically a magic word to get you out of everything you hate. And no one will argue because they don't want to hear the details! Source: ShutterStockForgetting To Change Your Tampon Or Pad
