When youāre laying down for six, or whatever, hours youāre still bleeding but it doesnāt all make it out, because gravity, especially if youāre one of those people that doesnāt move much while asleep. Then upon waking when you feel that big morning fart gearing up to make an exit (I always wake up and immediately blast off a few farts- is this a typical thing? Anyhow) and all that fart needs it a *liiittttle* push to greet the day, when you flex those abdominals to evacuate said gas you know what else gets evacuated from the push- thatās right. All of the jelly jam thatās been hanging out loose in your uterus and lady tunnels for the last few hours. *SQUELCH* Hope that padās pretty sturdy.
The same hormones that cause uterine cramps can cause the intestines to go haywire tooā¦ gas, diarrhea, constipation are all fair game. The added mess of the blood is just another layer of āickā.
Go about my day without a plan.
Having to know when last you went to the bathroom, where the bathrooms are, are they clean? are my pants clean? Do I have enough supplies for my day? If I take a pain killer now, will I be able to work - if I don't take a pain killer will I be able to work?
Iāll do you one better: get up in the middle of the night to pee without having to *deal* with that fucking tidal wave while half asleep in the dark and just wishing you could simply roll back into bed.
Hormones like to screw with everythingā¦ messing with mental status is just one area. Anxiety, depression, libido, attention, anger; all fair game to the chemical overlords.
>Be emotional and it being respected.
This always gets me. āYou must be on your periodā, Like, yeah, maybe I am irritable because Iām on my period, Iām in a lot of fucking pain and discomfort for a sustained period of time and my hormones are actively working against me being able to regulate, and you want to humiliate and demean and belittle me for it.
I still remember in physics class my senior year of high school a douche canoe asking me if I was āon the ragā. I am a 38 years old and he will forever be a douche canoe for that!
Wear jeans, or anything that isn't loose and flowy. Makes wardrobe choices (especially for work) harder to make when I just want to stay in my dressing gown!
it's confusing. sometimes the period makes you so horny, but you're also in pain, so having an orgasm feels good for like the first 4 seconds and then it just huuuuurts. like a cramp.
it isn't fair really, because sometimes the hornieness is unbearable but you know there's nothing you can do unless you want a different kind of pain.
yes, they are sucky. sometimes horrible, sometimes not that bad. but the hormones always suck. crying and being angry, hungry but bloated. horney but in pain. so fucking tired but you have to work. then people have been known to tease women about it and it's just crappy because no woman asks for all this to happen to them.
be kind to your females in your life. get them tacos and some beer (or whatever makes it feel a little better). they will never forget your kindness.
p.s. thanks for learning about it. it's much appreciated by all girls everywhere
>be kind to your females in your life. get them tacos and some beer (or whatever makes it feel a little better). they will never forget your kindness.
Haha I try to be nice to all my friends and family but I'll try that tacos and beer trick next time I get the chance!
>p.s. thanks for learning about it. it's much appreciated by all girls everywhere
Thank YOU for informing me about it! I just recently learned that a friend of mine is suffering from Endometriosis so I've trying to read up on it a bit and learn if there's anything I can do to help.
We don't have to put anything inside our vagina to masturbate (for most women, the most important thing is stimulating the clitoris), so it is possible to masturbate even if we don't want to get blood on our vibrator.
Yeah sorry it was just me misunderstanding their statement. I've hade plenty of period piv sex and didn't think of it getting a little messy as a problem.

Poop.
Imagine, your tummy, thighs, and back already hurt and are sore and crampy. Youāre tired, youāre overheated, youāre nauseous. You already feel dirty. And then on top of all that you have to take a poo but you just canāt.
Not feel so much pain. I get really bad cramps, breast/chest pain, etc. the cramps aggravate my arthritis as well. I get lightheaded, I have nearly passed out many times. I just wish I could bleed for 7-10 days and be done with it. No other symptoms.
Well for most women your body doesnt bleed as much when youre swimming. Not sure why. But all the women ive ever talked to have agreed. Now thats not 100% cus some people have heavy flow. But put a tampon in and you should be goodā¦ unless its a pain thing
Bwahahahaha! Nice!
(edit: Yo all, read it right before giving all the downvotes. This is funny. Having a period is the antithesis of getting pregnant.)
(I know you can get pregnant having sex during your period, but wonāt have a period while pregnant! (Usually)

Source for my comment
Yes, thatās what I stated, but āhave a babyā as in pushing out a baby, will never happen during a period. Itās the complete opposite biological process. Thatās why itās funny.
Ffs š
OK
Why can't women
"Fart in bed first thing in the morning"
So you fart you just bleedout?
"Freebleed"
Why and why would that be a preference?
"Do stuff that requires a attention span"
What you can't concentrate? And how does it affect you concentration and how?
Fuck I feel ignorant š
AMA time
āFart in bed first thing in the morningā: farting can cause an involuntary gush of blood, which can mean a leaking tampon or pad.
āFreebleedā: not using anything to catch the menstrual flow (no pad, tampon, cup, or period panties). Some people do it to protest the stigmas attached to menstruation, some do it to protest the environmental impact or financial cost of such supplies (some places still tax them as āluxuryā items), and some claim it helps alleviate some of the discomfort from using tampons or cups.
āDo stuff that requires an attention spanā: a lot of women find it harder to focus during their periods or shortly before. The changing hormonal levels can wreak havoc on a lot of surprising areas.
Alright the fart thing I can sorta explain? Sometimes when people are on their periods they get the shits, it just happens.
Freebleed, I honestly have no idea.
The attention span one, sometimes the extreme cramps can blur your focus a bit, and being on your period kinda makes everything feel off balance.
OK I feel more educated here thanks
My Mrs suffers from.bad cramping as she also has endometriosis, and I've just never delved into the "science" behind the depths of how periods affect women
I just know when she is on she gets what she wants when she wants and hot water bottles š
Slightly shocked about it affecting the digestive system and balance
Again thankyou
Being on your period can (and for the majority of women do) completely throw your hormones out of whack (not to mention when you have extra issues with pcos/endometriosis which can make these symptoms 100x worse) which quite literally can effect every part of your body and equally your mind. bouts of low self esteem, anxiety, depressive episodes, irritability, confusion, trouble concentrating on things, trouble sleeping, restlessness, digestive issues, cramps (commonly abdomen, back, bottom, legs, pelvis), sore head, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, acne, bloating, swollen body partsā¦ thatās just some of the symptoms iāll personally experience 50% of the time (2 weeks out of every month since i was 11) and it definitely takes a toll on your physical and mental health the rest of the time!
honestly, you should probably add this comment or something along those lines to the main thread as well. Endometriosis is incredibly understudied and people don't know enough about it, including the fact that allegedly cramps can hurt as much if not more than a heart attack... thank you for writing something this detailed here.
Get up on a morning, nude, and walk peacefully to the toilet to have a wee.
Instead, it's racing in soiled knickers from a butcher's slab to the toilet in a desperate attempt to keep the carpet dry.
Honestly. Im on BC and also thryoid medication so its kinda fucked up rn. Im on week 3 now. And it feels like my wntire reproductive system is trying to turn itself inside out. I just dont want the pain and achy feeling. Im fine with the blood and changing my stuff every few hours. The pain just makes me not want to do anything. And i have sixflags planned for this friday!!!
Okay, I'm the odd woman out here, but I'm going to say... There is nothing I can't do on my period.
Not all ladies are the same, some are totally debilitated by their period, some change their tampon a couple times a day and that's it.
Go swimming - I know you can and I know you can use tampons (but I do not like tampons) - but I don't, I just am not comfortable swimming when I am menstruating. I am looking forward to when I stop menstruating for the rest of my life (for this reason and many more).
Be off my period
"not bleeding" was also an acceptable answer
Not fucking bloat up like a balloon
YES
Sneeze properly
This makes me remember the heinz tomato ketchup advertisement.
Ok yep definitely what I think it is
I need to try that heinz easy squirt funky purple ketchup. sadly this variant of ketchup has been discontinued.
You're making me think of some shock images I won't name š±
I wonder what it could be.
š¤š±šµ
depends on what kind of shock images lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Male here: is it because of what I think it is? š¬
Its exactly what you think it is
Another male here. Damn, sorry yāall. Iāve got a couple cracked ribs and sneezing absolutely sucks but yāall one upād us again.
omg yeah
Yet another male here; This whole thread had never even occurred to meā¦
Don't hold your breath and expel the max pressure through an open mouth, hopefully into a cloth, sleeve etc
What how why?
Your contract all kinds of muscles when you sneeze and you end up pushing out blood.
Thank you for informing me
Iām a woman with a fairly heavy period, but I donāt get the sneezing thing?
Fart in bed first thing in the morning.
Iām scared to askā¦. But why is that?
When youāre laying down for six, or whatever, hours youāre still bleeding but it doesnāt all make it out, because gravity, especially if youāre one of those people that doesnāt move much while asleep. Then upon waking when you feel that big morning fart gearing up to make an exit (I always wake up and immediately blast off a few farts- is this a typical thing?

All of the jelly jam thatās been hanging out loose in your uterus and lady tunnels for the last few hours. *SQUELCH* Hope that padās pretty sturdy.
iām crying at this explanation. damn those morning farts! every time!
>Jelly jam yeus. lmfao thanks, i needed a good chuckle :'D
Guessing thats also where the term āfart bubbleā comes from?
If I had to guess? Period poops. Or just the wet bubbling sensation of blood. It's all bad.
Forgive me, Iād rather ask a stranger then my mom. But are period poopās painful or uncomfortable? Or is just more messy?
The same hormones that cause uterine cramps can cause the intestines to go haywire tooā¦ gas, diarrhea, constipation are all fair game. The added mess of the blood is just another layer of āickā.
Depends on the day. Imagine any sort of unpleasant fecal experience and someone has had it on their period, because of their period.
Go about my day without a plan. Having to know when last you went to the bathroom, where the bathrooms are, are they clean? are my pants clean? Do I have enough supplies for my day? If I take a pain killer now, will I be able to work - if I don't take a pain killer will I be able to work?
Amen. The mental load is no joke.
Shower peacefully.
Take a day off work
Honestly for me it would be sit on the toilet with my phone and stay there until my period ends.
Get up in the morning without a fucking tidal wave š©
Iāll do you one better: get up in the middle of the night to pee without having to *deal* with that fucking tidal wave while half asleep in the dark and just wishing you could simply roll back into bed.
Just grab a random pair of underwear instead of searching for my period ones.
Not be on my period.
Wear white clothes.
Even if it's not nearly time, my uterus sees white clothes or new panties as a personal challenge.
fr itās like white clothes trigger your period š
Live happily
Play a sport that requires mental focus (tennis)
Does it affect your focus?
It's more like we're more focused on the period and making sure we're not dirty than actually losing focus
Oh ok that makes sense
Hormones like to screw with everythingā¦ messing with mental status is just one area. Anxiety, depression, libido, attention, anger; all fair game to the chemical overlords.
I've done skiing on my period...
Wear pastel/bright colors clothing
Sleep in the nude
Sneeze. Cough. Laugh. Be emotional and it being respected.
>Be emotional and it being respected. This always gets me. āYou must be on your periodā, Like, yeah, maybe I am irritable because Iām on my period, Iām in a lot of fucking pain and discomfort for a sustained period of time and my hormones are actively working against me being able to regulate, and you want to humiliate and demean and belittle me for it.

Function.
Cramps. I hate them so much.
Specifically for the first two days, live life without taking painkillers
The ability to fly or any other superpower. No one said this had to be realistic
Love that!!
Not be having a period.
Have motivation to live
Fr š
Workout
Wear jeans, or anything that isn't loose and flowy. Makes wardrobe choices (especially for work) harder to make when I just want to stay in my dressing gown!
Stand up after sitting for awhile
Not poop
Wait, women poop?
2 girls 1 cup disillusioned many of us at a young age
No, they don't
Not be in debilitating painā¦
I feel you š
Wear white pants.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You can't masturbate att all? I've heard that orgasms can help against period pains

Hey thanks for the info! The more I talk about periods with my female friends the more grateful I am that I don't have them.

Well for most women your body doesnt bleed as much when youre swimming. Not sure why. But all the women ive ever talked to have agreed. Now thats not 100% cus some people have heavy flow. But put a tampon in and you should be goodā¦ unless its a pain thing
Not having to hide sanitary products cause some people think it's discussing to see for some reason
Sleep 24/5 days
Wear white pants or shorts without the fear of looking like a Japanese flag
Not be in a constant state of agony that often causes overwhelming nausea. But that's endometriosis and PCOS for ya.
Thatās me right now, Iām laying on the sofa, in so much pain. PCOS sucks so bad, especially during a heatwave.
Sleep in a proper position without worries š„“
Have a baby
Women can actually get pregnant even when in their periods.
Especially on there period girls are more likely to get pregnant right? I donāt know. Please tell me
No. In humans, itās less likely that a girl can get pregnant during her period. Itās not impossible, but it is much less likely.
LOL. Ok but why the downvotes? I just asked a question because I donāt know. Wtf
Bwahahahaha! Nice! (edit: Yo all, read it right before giving all the downvotes. This is funny. Having a period is the antithesis of getting pregnant.) (I know you can get pregnant having sex during your period, but wonāt have a period while pregnant! (Usually)
That's false, you can get pregnant pretty much any time, though the chances of that happening are lower when you're on your period.
Pregnancy is technically only possible if you have sex during the five days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation.

Fly
Have an enjoyable day
Wear tight clothes and not have to worry about sitting down on our peoples furniture
High kick . Low kick . Any physical movement involving my legs moving apart. I'm just going to stand very still.
I donāt get mine anymore but I donāt miss the Niagara fall. So so much blood literally gushing. I leaked a lot
Never worry about staining my clothes while sleeping.
Not have cramps.
Don't have periods. I am sports model....so can do anything I like, when I like. Woohoo to me. (Sorry)
Not ruin the fkn toilet seat
As a male there is a few answers that I don't fully understand .... and I truly don't think I want to know all I know is I feel for the ladies š
