Let's face it, guys are never going to fully understand what girls go through regarding their periods. How can they empathise with something that they'll never experience. They can't, and we don't blame them for that... Most of the time anyway. Lack of understanding means many misconceptions, so here are the top 12.
1. That anytime we’re in a bad mood, it’s because of our period.
Oh yeah? Then what's your excuse?
2. That we never know when it’s coming, and could start gushing blood at any moment.

Period tracking: there’s an app for that.
3. That we can stain sheets at random.
The occasional period stain happens, but usually it’s our own fault for being too lazy to take the necessary precautions.

4. That a tampon is like a cotton dildo.
Contrary to men’s popular belief, there is nothing that feels good about inserting a cotton slingshot into your vajay.
5. That one pad lasts for an entire period.

Just like a nappy, it needs to be changed regularly. Very regularly.
6. That we pee blood.
More like blood comes out when we pee.

7. That we’re constantly packing a large picnic basket full of feminine products.
Yes, every time our purses tip over, two tampons fall out, but that’s all we have.
8. That blood shoots out of our vaginas, “The Shining”-style.

Redrum. Actually, no.
9. That because we’re bleeding, we’re hurt.
It hurts in a special, different kind of way, but no triage is necessary.

10. That PMS makes us “Fatal Attraction” crazy.
In reality, we’re just moody and off our game. Boiling a bunny doesn’t even cross our minds. At least, not usually.
11. That we’re being overly dramatic about our cramps.

We’re being about as dramatic as guys are being when they get hit in the ballsack.
12. That we are uninterested or incapable of any sexual activity.
On the contrary, we either want it way more than usual or not at all but we are never incapable. That still doesn't mean it's blow-job week.
13. That every month, we give birth to a giant blood ball.
No, it comes out gradually... It's hard to explain... YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
