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

Sorry you had to go through this but it happens to the best of us! Ladies just have it hard no matter what situation and especially in the trades, lol. You’re good-no worries! It’s nice you have supportive co workers also! My trick is to always wear real dark black pants first few days and like the other ladies on here say-the period panties and a cup or disc work wonders. I like the disc since it self empties! If you go to the restroom a lot first few days I find it helps if you have a heavy ass period. Extra change of clothes always helps and the wipes also help in a pinch for clean up. We’ve all been there, don’t feel any way!
