Why are woman embarrassed about their period? ?!


Question: Why are woman embarrassed about their period!? !?
My gf one time at work came to the back room to get a tampon out of her purse!. and i was in the back reading something i think, i was like "hey whatcha doing" she went ALL RED and was kinda pissed made a weird face and snaped "What do you think" and waved the tampon!. And its not like i didnt already know she was on her period, i mean, its close to the same time as last month!.!.!. and she had a purse with her, which she NEVER does unless she is on her period!. Now i can understand, its not a very pleasant thing to deal with so your bf being there might make things a little edgy is alright, and she probly didnt know i was there so its like i kinda ambushed her but, even when she isnt on her period or many woman for that mater, they are really snappy and easily embarrassed about it!.!.!. its natural what the hell is your prob!?!!?! Lighten up, and not all guys are embarrassed about it too, or bras!.!.!.!. (just fyi, cause all the girls i work with think that they cant talk about ANYTHING around be, im like why not, cause they think ill get "squemish about it")Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
She is a lucky girl to have a guy like you who doesn't care and isn't grossed out by it all!. I would like to let you know though that my personal experience is this:- i really do get a rotten head ache that just wont go away no matter how many panadole i take and i really do get stomach aches that make me feel really crappy and i don't feel like going anywhere or seeing anyone!. That being said, maybe you can talk to her about it when she isn't on her period and not so defensive about it!. My husband and i make jokes about it, he says "are you up on blocks" referring to a car that is up on blocks and out of "action" Good luck mate you sound like a really nice guy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's like when guys get an ere*****!. They get embarassed, because there are all these symptoms and side effects!. Its just how we are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is a generalization!. I'm not embarrassed at all by my period!. I'll tell anyone that I'm on it and I'm not afraid to grab a tampon and go to the bathroom in front of men!.

Maybe your girlfriend is just shy in general!. Then again, I'm a shy person around people I don't know but I'm not ashamed of my period!. Every woman gets one!. It's not like I'm the only one bleeding out my vagina!. It's gross but it's life!.

Now period pain is another story!. Before I went on birth control I had cramps so bad I couldn't move!. I literally had to be carried to the bathroom because my body was so racked with pain!. I have endometrioisis and the pain is beyond anything I've ever felt in my life!. I'd honestly say it's more than a man getting kicked in the balls because this pain lasts for 3 to 4 days (whereas getting kicked in the nuts lasts an hour)!. If she doesn't feel like going snowboarding then leave her alone!. She wouldn't make excuses if she wasn't in pain!.

Maybe she thinks that you will think she's gross if she tells you she's on her period!. Just make it clear to her that you love every part of her and that it's ok for her to tell you when she's on her period!. Maybe this will help her loosen up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i'd hate to use the term "it's a girl thing" lol but it applies in this situation!. a lot of girls are embarrassed about it because they are afraid they show outward signs of being on a period!. Personally, i fear spotting on chairs and cars and things so i hardly sit down during my period, lol!.

girls aren't used to a guy who just "doesn't care" or wants to know what's going on down there so they are fidgety about it!. just talk to her in a calm area and say "honey i know you're embarrassed by it, but i don't care if you're on your period, if you want to talk to me about things or if you want me to keep my nose out of it, just let me know!." let her know that you don't mind it and she'll likely calm down about it!. it might take her a while as old habits die hard!.

wow that was full of cliches D:Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think mostly its the culture that does this to us!.!.!. girls are trained to be very quiet about things like this and we have always thought that its "gross" and "dirty" when honestly there is nothing dirty about it!.
When I first started going out with my bf I tried to be very secretive about it!.!.!. but eventually i had to talk to him about it!. Some girls try to hide their pads/tampons and are embarassed when their in the stall because everyone can hear you opening the wrapper!. Its kind of akward because you think "great!. now everyone knows im on my period!. they are going to treat me differently"!.
But the truth of the matter is, at any given time 1 out of 4 girls is on their period!. So there is nothing to be embarassed of!.

My bf is not the least bit grossed out by my period!. I tell him when I feel PMS, I tell him when I start bleeding!. He always wants to know how its going!. We dont have sex while im bleeding or anything, but he still is okay with getting it on his hands!.

And recently i switched to cloth pads, which are much more absorbent and washable, they can be used again and again and come in a zillion different colors!.
My boyfriend went out and bought material and sewed pads for me!
So he's very cool with it, and it never bothers him!.

I think the biggest fear for girls is that you are going to either throw up, or leak on your clothes, or people will whisper about you "its her time of month, watch out"

But to avoid this i just sip ginger ale, wear black clothes, and say who cares because its natural and im a lot braver then girls who are on birth control to stop it!.


I'm way more comfortable talking about it with my boyfriend for some reason then other friends!. Because I noticed guys are more okay with it!.

As for bras I dont wear bras because i hate them and their uncomfortable!. I just put the padding from a swimsuit top in my camisole, it works just as well

I think sometimes if the girls are dealing with a guy talking about this!.!.!. they dont want to get him turned on or anything discussing bras, or they dont want to be disrespectful

idk but i think you should talk to your gf tell her you dont mind about her period and that she should just tell you about itWww@Answer-Health@Com
