When we were young we thought becoming a woman would be the most liberating to ever happen to us.
LOL how wrong we were. From the double standards the society bestowed upon us, to the demeaning we get from the men around us…. Issa lot yo!
The one thing we were prepared for, (Or not) is Menstruation. Once we got it, it changed our world forever. What we didn’t anticipate is how much that came with.
For one, Pads or Tampons? Is it even okay to rant about periods? I mean, thanks to our periods, we are forced to become friends with either. Most of us dread being on our period because we are forced to wear pads which btw are super uncomfortable almost all the time and it just frustrates us even more. Here’s a list of annoying things that happen when you wear a pad.
1. They never stay where you need them to stay
These pads be having females trying to walk funny just to set them back in place. They be having us looking like our asses be on fire, when in reality we are trying to put it back in place. Like why can’t you just stay where you’re supposed to ? Isn’t that your job? Ama the whole point of wearing you is to make us even feel ten times worse? Curse you pads.
2. They are SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE!
If it’s not to small then it’s too big; if it’s not too thin it’s too thick. Like do things ever get better for us females in this life? It’s like you’re wearing chunks of cotton wool and with every move you make, it rubs against your coochie and it just makes you feel super icky and so mad. Pads, I hope you’re reading this because we are frustrated.
3. Some pads cause leaks!
Ugh! There you are looking so stunning and sexy in your bright colored outfit. Yes, you’re on your period, but you’ve got the confidence of a thousand lions still. You think people are checking you out and everything only to get to your destination and BAM! you’ve got a spot of blood on your outfit. Like what’s your deal pads? I have done everything you asked of me and yet, you still embarrass me like that? So not cool.
This is one thing we can all agree on here. Is that pads are both a blessing and a curse. It’s rather unfortunate that we have to live with them for the next couple of years. Is it bad that I am actually looking forward to menopause?
