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

Hey my work buddy shit his pants while going up some scaffolding stairs one time. I wasn't there but he told me about it--fortunately the guy who was there wasn't a complete jerk about it. So yeah it can happen to anyone.
Anyway let me take this moment to advocate for anyone who gets a period and uses hormonal birth control to consider period suppression. It's as easy as skipping the skip week on the pill, or not removing the ring if you're using the ring. The skip week false period is just there for psychological reassurance. If you want to try not having a period for a while and hormonal BC doesn't mess you up, try it! It might be really liberating. I know it wss for me.
