Yeast Infection!! Yeah, that's definitely more embarassing than tampons or pads.

Wow...I was thinking along the wrong lines. At first I thought she meant KY and didn't get the letters right...and then my brain just kinda took over from there and went the opposite direction.:o:)

mmmm... yeah it is! i opened up my bathroom cabinet and my roommate's monistat fell out.... i was like... ahhh! lol :p i was embarrassed FOR her lol

I will avoid the lines with boy students that I know as baggers or checkers under these conditions, more to spare him the possibility of embarrassment than because it bothers me.

Nah, embarrassing is condoms, pregnancy test or yeast infection stuff. Or that pill you take for pain with a UTI along with gallons of cranberry juice.

For my period? I have no qualms whatsoever. We all bleed get over it.

whats truly embarassing is constipation stuff. nothing like an enema and a box of correctol to turn your face red! it is followed close place by any other genital area itch cream lol!

I would proudly march to the CVS cashier with 100 boxes of tampons, pantiliners and pads and feel no embarrassment like I'd feel if I had to purchase something for "feminine itch" or "feminine odor". Those are the worst!

One better-a bottle of colace. I was on narcotic pain meds for quite some time and you wind up needing it but jesus it's embarrassing to buy.

I had my BF at the time buy me a box of pads. He came back with a genuinely bewildered look on his face.

Random thought:
I refuse to swim in the ocean whilst menstruating. According to Shark Week, some sharks can smell a drop of blood 1/2 a mile away. Why take the chance? lol..

I was told not to swim, wash, wash my hair, etc. I did all of the above and I am relatively ok.

ForeverRoses: I am LOL at the mommy diapers.. lol!!

shyt just show me exactly what kind u need...giive me an empty box so I can find....like I said....better that than buying diapers.....

I didn't care about buying colace. The packaging doesn't scream "I CAN'T POO". Besides, better that than something for explosive diarrhea.

alli and some pasta should do the trick

I'd rather buy colace than Alli any day. Buying colace means admitting you're "stopped up", buying Alli means admitting you're fat.:p

I told my mother about the Alli warning label and she thought I was kidding. When I told her I was, in fact, serious her face went bright red and she doubled over from laughing. Watching her laugh like that is even funnier than the FDA recommending you take a spare pair of pants with you when you first start the drug.

Thank god I was out of commission for a good two weeks after I had my baby and I didn't have to go buy my own Colace...I made my husband do it for me. :D
