Our problem is that if we don't flush tampons the dog will find them. She know how to open a covered trash can. I guess we could take them right to the outside trash.

Yeah, friends of mine had this problem. They began referring to used tampons as "Scooby snacks" and joked about freezing them and using them as doggie treats.

My cats would sometimes snag the applicators from the trash and play with them. Ew.

I hated pads. HATED THEM. I had horribly heavy periods, though; I need like a super-super tampon for 3 days, which they don't make.

Let me tell you how glad I am that I don't have to deal with that anymore. SO. FUCKING. GLAD. I haven't ruined sheets, undies or clothes in over a year. Thank you, baby jesus. Or baby gaia, whatev.

My mom was ok about feminine hygiene stuff. But she was a b-cup when she wasn't breast feeding and apparently didn't see why any daughter of hers would need anything different. I went through junior high with the quad tits of bad bra fit. Somewhere around the age of 15 I figured it was easier to get something remotely resembling a good fit when out shopping with my dad. The only problem with bra shopping with dad was his idea that I should only get white bras. However with a little help from the saleswoman in the department store undies department, I was able to explain why a modest young woman of pink-ish skin does not want to wear a white bra under a white shirt.

Thank dog my mother has a huge rack.

Going bra shopping with her is hysterical. *I* don't think my mother needs some of the stuff she wants, but apparently she's not listening to me. Her bra collection is totally funner than mine.

I like sports bras. I feel supported and yet? Don't have to worry about the wire anymore.

I didn't actually learn that until my mid-20s. I just never thought about it, and obviously my mom didn't say anything (and I wore a white blouse every day to school for 16 years) (okay, only 7 of those 16 years were bra-wearing years, but still).

I feel dumb. Is it because your nips show through?

With a white shirt, you want your bra to match your skin tone or it's clearly visible through the shirt.

Don't have to worry about the wire anymore.

My favourite sports bra is underwire. But I've never had a problem with underwire. The bra is just FABULOUS. I'm not sure why I don't wear it all the time. I suspect it does better shaping than the more expensive Wacoals I wear day to day (and which I really should replace any time now.

There is no colour of bra I can wear under a white shirt and not look obvious with. I have strange glowy unmatchable skin tone.
