Was at a business retreat today. Have my period. Needed to go to change my tampon in the middle of a lecture. I only had my bookbag with me. I thought to myself "should I try to discreetly slip my tampon out of my bag and into my pocket so no one sees, or should I just lug my whole bag with me - or will people think that's weird?" I thought this in a room full of grown ass adults mostly 40-50 yo's. It was stupid I thought this. I pulled the tampon out of my bag and went to the bathroom - and didn't give af who saw it. How stupid that this shame is so deeply ingrained in us. Next time ladies, just grab your damn tampon and don't give af.
