A Guide on Unexpected Situations
You’re in the bathroom, and you realise that you have unexpectedly received your period. And worst of all, you don’t have any pads, liners, or tampons! But don’t worry, you’ll get through it by following this simple guide.
Wrap bathroom tissue around your panties to make a substitute sanitary pad. This is only temporary to prevent any mess in your panties while you try to find a pad or tampon. It’s best not to use toilet paper as a substitute tampon for health reasons.
Ask a trusted female friend for a spare sanitary pad or tampon. Calmly and politely ask them if they can spare a pad or a tampon for you. There’s no reason go into details. It’s pretty obvious that you wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t urgent!
Failing that, go to the school nurse and ask them for a sanitary pad or a tampon. There’s no doubt about it, school nurses always have sanitary napkins (pads) or tampons for this exact type of situation. They wouldn’t ask any questions, and it would be more discreet than asking your friends also. As a last resort, you should ask a trusted younger female teacher if they have a spare tampon or pad.
Whatever might the situation might be, it’s probably best that you don’t ask a male friend or teacher for a pad or tampon because they probably won’t have any, and it could potentially be uncomfortable and embarrassing for both parties. If the following guide didn’t work, frequently visit the bathroom and use plenty of bathroom tissue as a sanitary pad. If completely desperate and have no-one to turn to, use one of your socks.
It’s always best to keep a small bag of feminine products (tampons, pads) in your locker or in your bag, just in case another one of these types of emergencies arrive.
Rather than forgetting your period, you should set up a subscription service with www.comfortline.com.au. They will discretely send you out your preference (pads or tampons or whatever combination you wish) every month, delivered privately to your home.
