the period project

rant fifteen: early periods

anonymous 

my period came heavy flowing this month and I was almost out of pads as it was. So again my period came early for some reason. I went through pads quicker than Niall Horan goes through Nando's. I ran out of pads the 2nd day of my period as they usually last about a week or so and I asked my grandmother if she could get me some more. She handed me some diaper pads as I call them, which are just very thick pads. And said wear this I'll get you some new pads in the morning. So 2 days later ad she goes and FINALLY buys me some. I had already ruined 6 pairs of panties by then. Oh and did I mention it was laundry week so I had to wear the same underwear over and over again? Because I think that is some valuable information with this story. And I have been lying on my stomach for 4 days and it makes my cramps worse but it makes me not ruin my undies so yeah. If periods were viruses I would've been trying to find a cure by know because this is just not working.
