Fun fact I have recently moved, like 2 months ago, and that was absolutely horrific because moving between two states in the US only some companies do and ours was terrible, my dad is suing them it was so bad.
In this process I ended up getting my period. Since our stuff had not yet arrived and I told my mom when we left our old house I didn't need to bring backup supplies I assumed we didn't have any. So I did what any teen girl would do in that situation, and stuffed napkins and toilet paper down my pants for two days until I discovered that we did in fact have pads and tampons in the house.
Miraculously, I didn't stain my shorts at all during those two days, only a single pair of underwear i kept wearing and hid after realizing we had supplies. I know it's unhygienic but WE WERE LIVING ON STOUFERS MAC N CHEESE AND SLEPT ON THE FLOOR. We didn't have a washer and dryer and my parents were too proud to be at a laundromat for some reason so I wanted to get as little clothes stained as possible.
(Side note, anyone who says stoufers is good is immediately my enemy that shi tastes like plastic corn with actual shi mixed in but nuked)
The only reason i discovered we HAD any pads was because somehow my mom knew I got my period just as i was going to bed on day 2. I don't even know how because again, i didn't bleed on anything. She just has that weird mom sense. The other weird thing is that was THE ONLY time she knew I had my period without me actually telling her.
Overall I would rate the experience a -10/10
Napkins + down there = hell
