Thats why a lot of girls do the courtesy flush and open it really quick.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't like doing that, it feels wasteful. I try to do it when there is no one else in the bathroom or when someone else flushes.

the new always infinity pads have pretty quiet wrappers...and you don't have to change them as often because they are really absorbant but stay really dry and they are really flexible so you dont feel uncomfortable AND they are really thin so you don't feel bulky...the wrappers are better than the old ones for sure!! but uh if you have a problem with pads then wear tampons...the wrappers are basically silent on the new kotex ones...

Honestly, no cares if you're on your period. If you're using a girls bathroom, chances are everyone else who uses that bathroom gets a period. They won't laugh at you for getting it. They'll just have reassurance that you're not a man sitting in the stall.

Agreed.

I hate it at my house, because I'm always paranoid that everyone in my house can hear what I'm doing, and I'm the only one in my house who GETS my period. But I don't bother with pads at school, I always wear tampons

It's so very true. My brother won't even say pad or tampon. Instead, he calls them "female hygiene products".

Why do you care if someone hears you opening a pad? All girls get it at some point. It's natural. And if you hate the sound of pad wrappers so bad, use tampons. The playtex ones have wrappers made of that cloth-like material.

Omg I hate it! Even though every girl gets it, it is still embarassing!!!

(You will never know): I agreee!

I seriously don't see what the big deal is. Unless you're in the guys' bathroom, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. All girls get a period, you're not some freak of nature.

Its just akward as Hell. If they played some nice music in the bathroom or there was a bunch of converstation going on and people washing their hands then its okay. other wise its like....ugh. girls get it. its awkward anyway just standing in there waiting for them to leave.

Just don't use Always. Kotex has wrappers made out of cloth.

Yes! I hate changing them during school!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Even though I know the majority of the girls at my school have already gotten their periods and those who haven't yet know what they are, it still makes me uncomfortable. I've only heard people changing theirs a couple of times, and I feel like I do it a lot more. Plus, whenever I go during class so no one else is in there, someone almost always walks in. You just have to open it quickly and get it over with.

They can be so loud in public or school bathrooms. I know all girls get it coz it natural and that but still super awkward 😖

or like if there’s a group of girls just hanging out in there and you have to change your pad, wtf am I supposed to dodo I go dot by dot and have them question why tf i am taking so long? Lol. Anyways on like the 3rd day of my first one, I asked my teacher (who was also my softball coach) if I could use the employees restroom because the girls was being cleaned and he said ya... and DAMN did I feel free!

Sometimes I can't even change my pad at school because my teachers won't let us go to the bathroom. They tell us to go during passing :/ It's really gross, I know.

by Anonymous 5 years ago

At my school we aren't allowed to close the main door to the bathrooms, so like the stalls are still there but the door to the hallway is always open and you can hear when people walk by and it's just soooooo gross and like an invasion of privacy??? Anyways, the boys bathroom is right next to the girls so I usually use the bathroom in the nurse's office during my period.

see the thing is is that for whatever reason snakey girls (at my school at least) will always be judging if you make noise with a pad, even if it's silently, which is completely DUMB but they *do* do it
