How can I hide it when I get my period?!


Question: How can I hide it when I get my period!?
I work night shifts!. So, when it's break time, everyone goes at once!. I'm due for my period next week, and I don't know how I'll be able to change my pad on my break!. I work in the front of the store, and when I get to my locker in the lunch room, there is already 6 men!. My locker is very open, and it would be impossible to slip it out!. I also have no pockets in the pants I have to wear!. I do have a vest, but it's a tiny pocket!.

How can I get a pad to change it!? Any ideas!? By the way, Tampons are out of the question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
- Strapping it to your wrist before work and wear long sleeves!.

- Tuck it inside a sandwich bag - not the heavy ziplock kind - then slipping it inside one of your shoes!.

- Taping and tucking into a sock near your ankle!.

- One pad on top of another!.

- Change shoes on break at random have one tucked inside the toe!. Put them on and enter the restroom!. If they ask about shoe changes then tell them it's for medical reasons!.

My best advice though would be to slip one into the palm of your hand as discreetly as possible or just have them hidden in the restroom somewhere!.

I worked with men who were all aware that the women had a stash of tampons and pads in one of the storage cabinates near the front of the counter!. We had no time to get to our lockers and no hiding places in the bathrooms!.

It's just a fact of life!. We were never teased or made to feel uncomfortable - that would be sexual harassment!. The fear of that keeps most mens mouths shut!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this really is hard to answer when tampons are out of the question!. i dont no why people dont use them, you can wear them p to 8 hour before they need changing!. but anyway, i guess you could wear a pad to the maximum absorbancy, or just wait ur turn to use the toilet, if it was me i'd rather go last so that poeple in the que dont hear me opening the pad wrapper etc, Www@Answer-Health@Com

Put it in a brown paper bag, like used for lunch and go to the bathroom!.

If they are "men" and are mature enough, they won't laugh at you!.

This is all normal!. I bet some of the men that you work with might have actually gone to the store to buy tampons and pads for their wife or girlfriend!.

It's a natural thing!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.hey you can always say if someone snickers at you,
"Hey, at least I'm not pregnant"

Do you carry a purse or handbag!? If so just take the bag with you into the ladies room!. Periods are part of life, don't worry so much about other people!. Life is too short to stress about that!

Have a happy period!. (sorry had to say it)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ive been in a similar situation!. why dont you put the pad into a small bag or your handbag when your going to work, and then just take the bag out of your locker and bring it to the bathroom with you!? hope it helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

You can hide it up a sleeve or put it in your waist and hide it under your shirt!.

but i doubt the guys will really care, they arrent in first gradeWww@Answer-Health@Com

just take a bag to the toilets with you- pretend its for makeup or something!. or you could slip the pad down the side of your undies so it wont fall out!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

where two pads,
then when it's time to go the toilet take the top pad of!.

and you have another undernearth


Good luck xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Just do it!. It's all part of being a woman so it's not like they'll say anything!. Don't be ashamed of your woman-ness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know you said that tampons are out of the question, but just in case you ever want to use them there's something called Tampax Compak, and it's an extendable tampon that would be able to fit in the palm of your hand or that little pocket!. If you don't want to use tampons, there's something called the Divacup, which I'll put the link to it in the sources!. It's amazing!. But for pads, when I used them and had a small purse which I still do, but since I use tampons now I use the compak which I recommend, there's a brand called Kotex that have PADS that you fold out, I'm not so sure what they're called but they're very small!. And if the guys laugh at you, then they're immature!. They should be able to handle it, and everyone guesses that if you're above the age of 13 you have periods!. It's not that big of a deal! (:
