(This relates to pad-users. You can still experience this to an extent if you use tampons, but not at this terrible degree.) Okay. If you've had your period, you feel me. Gonna be real here. You pull down your panties, and try to hurry and sit on the toilet before you leak. Unlike some people, I don't pull my panties down all the way to my ankles, and just to my knees.
You start doing your business, and then it hits you. The smell. The smell of rotten fish/hospital. More or less, your dried uterine lining sticking to your pad.
When I first started, I first thought "What the hell is that stench and why is it coming from my body". Well EXCUSE ME, body! Sorry I didn't put SPERM INTO MY BODY TO APPEASE YOUR EGGS!
Then comes the race to wipe yourself clean without getting blood on your fingers, pulling up your bottoms, and flushing. And let me tell you, you don't always beat the competition.
As you can see, being on your period + Toilet time = No bueno.
A video that I can relate to (sadly) is "Girls On Their Periods- Superwoman". She puts it so well.
