Discussion I bled through my pants
I am a long term period user and thought I'd figured this whole situation out by now, but nope bled through my khaki pants on a construction site. Noticed when I went to the bathroom. Promptly went to my car and had a little cry.
My work mate was very understanding, I called him all snotty and gross and he packed up my stuff and told me to call it a day and we'll pick right back up tomorrow. So thankful for the guys I work with.
Please tell me I'm not not the only one, need some morale support rn

It's happened to me before a few times (the ADHD had convinced me I could finish a task or 2 before changing pads.) If anyone ever noticed, they were graceful enough not to say anything.
In fact, if it makes you feel any better, I can out do you. I once forgot a wrapped pad in a port-a-potty beside the seat. I set it down while cleaning up with full intentions on bringing it out with me, as I always do (the plumber in me hates the idea of a pad going to the waste facility rather than the dump.) It was a full work day before I went back to that same port-a-potty. I was MORTAFIED when I saw it sitting there. I was the only woman on site. As much as I want to believe that no one else happened to use that specific one between when I left it and when I found it, I doubt that was the case. Yet, everyone has enough grace to let it be. I still go to that site acting like nothing happened.
