Flo Won’t Let You Be Great: 10 Petty Period Moments

You decide to wear white for a change and Aunt Flo acts up.

And you rarely touch those White pants! I can admit that I recently wore white jeans on Christmas day only to bleed right through them during holiday service at church. Take it from me and just stay completely away from light clothing on any day that falls close to the day your period starts up.

You put on the biggest diaper you can find and still leak.

You put on that one pad that goes from the bottom of your stomach to the top of your butt crack with the massive wings. You feel fully protected.

Psych!

You did too much while trying to sleep and manage to find a spot right above the pad — and a large one in your bed.

You have that “Am I leaking?” feeling — and it’s a false alarm.

You freak out while busy at the office and bolt to the bathroom. Better to catch a small mess before it becomes a big one, right? But after all your hard work and panic, there’s nothing. And to make matters worse, that feeling continues throughout the day until your period actually shows itself. Womp.

Your period came before a big event.

That includes your wedding, your trip to the Caribbean, and before your plans to put it down on your man. Thanks a lot, Flo.

You wanted to be productive but your cramps won’t let you be great.

So at your desk you sit with back spasms, a bloated stomach and all the attitude.

You tried to work on your fitness and leaked through your pants.

And you don’t realize the mess you’ve found yourself in until after you finished squatting in front of everyone. Damn!

You sat for a little bit of time — and all hell broke loose.

You were trying to enjoy brunch and shoot the sh-t with your girls. When you finally stand up from your chair, you realize your period wanted to kick it too. Cue in soiled pants and chair.

You try to go the “Super” route and still leak.

You even doubt that you need a super tampon, and yet, you leak through that mess too.

You thought you were free from your period — and then that last petty leak comes through.

You were so confident that you were done you didn’t even bother to put on a pantyliner. Bad idea.

You thought you were going to be cute but then you started bloating.

Not even a full face of makeup could make you feel cute on day two of your period. The bloating is just way too real.
