....is menstrual pain.

Yes, period pain, you jughead.

Men will never know how menstrual cramps feel like. Having terrible stomach cramps, backaches and leg cramps all in a go is something men with dicks will never understand.

It's not just like you get a papercut and you go "Oh no, i got a booboo. It's a okay. A plaster will do."

..or like "Ahh crap, I fell off the bike mom, and skinned my knee a little. Ah no biggie, I'mma just wash the germs and bacteria with Dettol".


No. It's not like that.

You can't put a plaster on our stomachs to relieve the menstrual pain. Nor can you plaster our vagina to stop the blood from flowing out.

Neither can you ask us to just wash our pubic part with Dettol and oh what? Hope that blood will stop flowing out then?

I pray to you, Lord, to bless those lost souls who actually thought what I just said would actually work. Amen.

Okay.

Let's get to know a little more about menstrual. PERIOD. BLOOOOOD.


Sanitary napkins, which are often called as pads. There are a few brands of these pads.



 



Laurier. I like Laurier.

The extra comfort slim ones are really good. Cos they're really flat, like they said, extra slim. So when you wear it, you don't actually feel a 5 tonne napkin like Pampers.

Not my all-time favourite but it's really good for night use.

Oh there's a night use and a day use?

Yes, jugheads. Guys should really take the initiative to learn more about girls.

The night use pad is often longer, and wider, and it has sticky wings at the corner to make sure the pad holds on to its place well. Because of the fact that we sleep for rather a long period of time, the longer and wider pads help to avoid leakage or blood stains.







Intimate.

Well I thought I recalled Mom discontinued buying this brand. She must have gotten it free with a package then.

As you can see, not all pads are boring-looking and disgusting. They have nice packagings too okay. Some even nicer than your Transformer toys packaging.







Sofy.

Now that's what we call a Panty Liner. It's just really short and it's slimmer than a Motorola L6 or L7, whichever makes you happier.

Normally that's worn during the last 2 days of the menstrual period. Or some girls wear them for daily vaginal discharge.


Wow. Now that I took all the napkin pictures, I just realized I have almost all the brands of sanitary pads.

Sofy. Kotex. Laurier. Intimate.

What am I shot of?


I skipped school today, although English test was going on. Yea, I ditched my exam because of menstrual cramps.

I never usually get menstrual cramps. Not serious ones. Especially stomach cramps, I've never gotten those before. I usually get very minor backaches and leg cramps. So normally when I have my period, I could still always laugh, jump, shout, run, act retarded, make jokes and be the joke (gerard always say that i don't make jokes, cos I'm the joke..).

So it was my first time getting such a freaking terrible menstrual pain. This is my first time getting stomach cramps due to period in 5 years of having menstruation.

I never knew it would be this suffering. And this painful. It's worse than gastric. You can barely sleep, sit, eat or drink. You can't find the best position to lay down on your bed. You don't know if you should sit or stand. You ate Panadol which claims to relieve menstrual pain but it just didn't work, not for you.

Imagine that.


Soooo, hell yeah. It was merely impossible for me to go to school and sit for my English test. I would probably start scribbling in my essay.. "Periooooddd paiinnnnn.... bllooooooood... shiiittttt"  or something like that.

If you men would want to know how menstrual pain actually feels like, you can try getting yourself to have gastric. It's something like that, but not 100% it.


I don't get why some guys or men are so ashamed about girls having period. I repeat, SOME, not all guys. Some of them really have this 'ulu' superstition that touching a pad will bring them bad luck for 3 years straight.

Hello? It's just a pad. Clean pad by the way?

Women are humans too you know. It's not that we want to have menstrual periods, but we are just created with it. So we're just living with it. Men should do the same, live with the fact girls have period and it's not any of a big deal.

And who the heck says men are the only human beings dripping blood?

Ex-cuusseee me. We bleed. We women hell bleed. We freaking bleed like shit. Even when giving birth, WE. FREAKING. BLEED.

You know, maybe that's one point to why women are stronger than men. We're not afraid of blood. Women are less lightly to be afraid of injections compared to men. And women are less afraid of pain compared to men.

Simple test. Piercing ears.

A guy would tear by just piercing one hole on his ear lobe.

A girl can pierce like 8 holes, and go.. "Hey, how about a belly ring huh? Or maybe a nipple ring?"

Well I'm not saying all men or all guys. Just SOME. And just SOME egoistic men who still thinks women are just some weak creatures.


You know what makes part of a man a real man?

Understanding women.


Please note that I do not mean to bring up any sensitive issues in this post. If any part of my words had made you felt uncomfortable, I apologize.

But personally, I feel that what is there to be ashame of man. It's the year 2007 hello. Guys and girls, they are all just the same. What shame is there to feel anymore? I even tell my close guy friends that I stained my uniform and asked if they could cover up for me.

Yeah I might get some "Ooooo where where you stain? show me."  but so what? It's just blood.

Staining your skirt with blood it's almost just the same as how guys shit in their pants. ;)





Yours truly,
Cheryl, I swear there are guys who shat in their pants.
