Reply to comment by bluehawkxs in TIFU by forgetting to wear underwear by rubyroses123

I was in middle school and going to the pool with family and got my period. I was so desperate to swim that I asked my aunt to put the tampon in for me. Smh

Looking back I feel really stupid for this. That aunt was a team player though. I asked my aunt because my mom never and still has never used a tampon.

I don't think that's anything at all to be ashamed of. I'm sure your aunt didn't even think twice about helping you out.

Exactly. There's no reason to feel ashamed about it, and honestly I'm sure their aunt is touched that they'd trust them enough to ask for them to help them :)

Just reminds me of that one time two girls in my children's home were having a conversation (my roommate and one other) and the not-roommate mentioned not knowing how to use tampons so my roommate dragged her to the bathroom to show her how, since both happened to be on their period. I could just hear things like "no, not like this! Further down" and "I see, that's very convenient" and was laughing my ass of at their conversations.
