TIFU- Using a menstrual pad

r/

I hope y’all are okay with hearing about menstruation, because that’s what I’m talking about.
I woke up today and went to the bathroom. While there I saw it was my time of the month. So, I grabbed a pad. Thing is I don’t wear panties, I wear boxers because I think they’re more comfortable. Problem is, boxers aren’t made with pads in mind, so it can be hard to get them to stay in place. Anyway, I did my best to stick the pad in place and went to work.

I worked until break and went to the bathroom. When I was in the bathroom I saw that the pad was no longer there. I checked my pant legs but there was no sign of it.

THE PAD WAS GONE.

If it had fallen out at work I would have heard about it, so it must have happened on the side walk on the way to my car. In that case I must offer a sincere apology to the people of my neighborhood.

TL;DR- I put a menstrual pad in my underwear and later saw that it was missing

    Hey! I use cloth menstrual pads since they are much cheaper, ecological and also they have buttons so I can wear them with boxers and not fear they are gonna go somewhere or give me a free wax. I bought some 3 years ago and they are still in great shape! And much more comfy

    Oh to have a period so light that my pad can fall out without me noticing & to continue business as usual for I’m assuming at least a couple hours without ending up bleeding right through my pants & onto whatever I’m sitting on & not looking like a murder scene.

    My suggestion would be to switch to boyshorts during that time of the month or use the period underwear.

    There are boxers with a gusset for pads! They can be a little expensive but if you’d rather wear boxers, that could be an option for you. I did also find a youtube tutorial for adding your own gusset but that requires having sewing knowledge.

    Have you considered tampons or a cup? I’m guessing your kind of young and maybe a bit uncomfortable with inserting something, but honestly it gets easy once you get the hang of it and it can be a lot cleaner, FYI.

    Check out spicy wear. They make boxers that work with pads.
