Tell Us Your Horrifying Period Stories

Rust-spotted underwear. Ruined pants. Discolored dining chairs. Crippling cramps. Chances are, if you’ve had your period, you’ve had a menstruation mishap.

And you? Do you have a wretched, blood-soaked tale to tell? You may do so in the comments, or more anonymously via email. We’re not looking for super sad medical tragedies (though feel free to share!). We’re interested in regular days gone horribly wrong, thanks to that pushy and relentless bitch Aunt Flo.
