This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

 

 

1. The moment you KNOW you started it.

 

 

2. Standing up and waddling to the bathroom.

 

 

3. When you didn’t expect it to come and you have no pad/tampon so a wad of tissue will just have to do for a while.

 

4. Sneezing.

 

 

5. Feeling like you’ve peed yourself but really it’s just your blood flowing like a river.

 

6. Making your friend check the back of your pants for you.

 

7. Asking if someone has a pad/tampon and acting like you both are conducting a drug deal.

 

8. Constantly needing to go to the bathroom to change.

 

 

9. Putting on and walking around in what feels like a mini version of an adult diaper.

 

10. Buying feminine products with your father, who offers you money and then stands by the exit while you pay.

 

 

11. Cramps.

 

 

What awkward moments have you had?
