>You're supposed to keep track of the days between your periods and wear a pad/tampon before it comes. It's not even hard to do.

You can't wear a tampon before you start bleeding. It's a tube of cotton wool - put it in dry and it will stick and hurt and be extremely painful to take out. You can barely wear a tampon at the end of your period or on any other particularly light day. You are not supposed to wear them at night, ever.

A pad you could wear in anticipation with less discomfort, but given that periods almost never arrive 'on time' and there is usually a difference of a couple of days, sometimes even a week, this would still mean wearing a dry piece of cotton on your crotch for hours/days. It would rub your genitals and thighs raw.

However, there is also a 'liner' which is a very thin sanitary pad that lines your underwear and catches any excess blood from a pad or tampon. This you could wear in anticipation of your period and it wouldn't cause too much discomfort - allowing your clothes maybe a few hours of protection until the blood ran over.

However, consider the extra cost of this to add on top of the cost of your usual menstruation products and you can absolutely understand why a woman would rather go to bed as normal and then, if she wakes up with a bleed, just clean and wash her fucking pjs and sheets.

I think the reason people like Rupi Kaur, as terrible a poet and attention seeker she is, post things like this and get approval for it is precisely because of people like you - people who think they know what it's like to menstruate when they know jack shit. Getting a bit of blood on your sheets and pants is absolutely normal. For you to say it isnt is just putting fucking sheckles in her pockets, because you become her opposition.

I wasn't aware of this book until I went to a local book store with my gf a few weeks ago and saw it on the bestsellers table. She told me it was a book of shitty poetry for edgy art thots. We thumbed through it and had a laugh before moving on. She ended up getting a copy of The Sun Also Rises and Lolita, and I got A Tale of Two Cities. We went home and cuddled and read, had sex, and then continued reading. It was a good day. I love her so much guys.

What are your go to comfy books?

OP here. I actually don't care about your "dealbreakers." I just wanted to bait you millenial bitches.

I read this in highschool. I then proceeded to write an essay that defended Hitler and got an F on it. Those were some fucking edgy days
