I'm so embarrased. One for the ladies on here.

Wait til you get to menopause, you don't know when it's next going to happen or how heavy so it's really difficult preparing for it.

One time I went to Blackpool and there is this place where you actually pay to get scared witless by getting people with chainsaws etc to chase you. The MOST scary one was actually a zombie with a baseball bat, he chased me and my mate and was cracking that bat so hard against the wall it felt way too close for comfort.

I showed my true colours that day (metaphorically AND literally) by grabbing my bezzy mate and using her as a shield between me and the zombie (I know I wont win any honours for this act) but also I blobbed on the spot out of pure fear (never heard of this medical condition before or since but I swear thats what happened).

Worse of all they chase you out in to an eating area. So there I was, wild eyed and screaming, blood dribbling down my legs, dragging my mate along behind me and we burst through the exit running hell for leather smack bang in to area packed with families dining.

If that didn't put them off their burger and nuggets I don't know what would!

To the OP, I wouldn't lose any sleep over your mishap, it's par for the course for wimmin to leak once in a while.

omg that place was terrifying i nearly wet myself (well did a little pml) was traumatised for ages after kept flinging my friend at them and screaming as loud as anything my friend told me she never screams well belive me she did that day and we went to pizza hut and guy said hi how are you today and i said no am not fime was still shakin lol

but got to say after we went back to bar to watch lol it was funny
xoxox
passage de terror thats what it was called lol

What a brilliant thread. I agree with another poster who suggested that our embarrassment is probably down to our reluctance to talk about these things as part of normal conversation. In the past, I've never mentioned anything to anyone - not even my mother or closest friend! Ridiculous, when you think about it as they go through exactly the same things!

I've been perimenopausal for about 18 months now and have never experienced anything like the menstrual changes I have had recently (not to mention the moods/depression - but don't go there!!!). Flooding has become a real issue for me and I'm going to have to try the mooncup.

Passed a "clot" or something (to be honest not sure what it was!) a few months ago that looked exactly like a piece of liver and was as big as a man's hand :eek: :eek: :eek: Thankfully, the tampon was blocking it in and "the thing" only emerged when I removed the tampon. I wondered whether it would actually flush down the loo or not :rotfl: :rotfl:

Half expected "the thing" to crawl out of the loo and shuffle across the bathroom floor like something out of Alien :rotfl: :rotfl:

I went out with a bloke recently who was very open and matter-of-fact about all things relating to bodily functions and it's made me much, much more comfortable about it. I would never have posted the above before - but now ....? What the heck? It happened, it's normal, it doesn't say anything about me as a person

Some great stories here - loving the one about the c r a p on the conservatory roof - American Pie would have been mighty proud of that one

So come on girls - if you've never mentioned something unmentionable, now's the time to do it. It's very liberating

when it happened to me i felt soooo embarrassed, but now i realised i didnt need to be.

about 12 members of my family were together having dinner at a relatives house, so the me and the other teens and children sat at the table. when i stood up i realised i had leaked on the white dining chair, so before anyone noticed i quickly took of my hoody and sat back down on it.

when my mum served us our food, i whispered what had happened, trying not to make it obvious, and she just told me to get up and come to the bathroom. but i was like nooo way, so i sat there through the whole of dinner sweating with panic hoping no one would notice.

but thank god after dinner my mum managed to get everyone out the room, and took the chair into the bathroom and sorted it out for me bless her

hopefully it wont happen to any of us again! x

Yes I agree, I love this thread too. I loved the one about the lady at the first aid course who was put into the recovery position and promptly farted. Had me in stitches.

I remember once my (now ex) husband came to an aerobics class with me. He is one of those men who think they are really the dogs doings. Parading around, showing off his muscles. Well we were doing some floor work on the mats so there was no loud music playing. He lifted up a leg and let out a giant trump!

Was I ever pleased i was not next to him!

I can really empathise with everyone who has flooding problems. This was my problem for a year or so. It was the Martini syndrome, it'd happen any time, any place, anywhere. I'd bleed for a whole month, ruined my then boyfriend's new king size. (he got dumped for his bad hygiene and habit of farting in public places and thinking it was funny) Anyway I read somewhere about having endometrial ablasion. which is where they laser the lining of the womb and for most women, you'll never get a period ever again. Not any good for those who may want children but those days are behind me anyway.

All that was left to do was to convince the Drs to let me have it. I had to be a teeny weeny bit creative. They have a criteria they go by apparently and it's something like if you flush out a tampon in minutes rather than hours and go through more than 5 pad changes a day - not exact but from memory is something like that. Mine was bad enough so you just tell them that is what happens to you.

you have to have an implant 1 month before they do the op, this is to thin the endometrium so when they laser, it goes nice and deep so you're less likely to bleed. some women do apparently but most never do - luckily I've not had one for coming up for 2 years. The really funny thing is that the day before I had been invited to a film premiere in London and the after show party in a club in soho. I so didn't want to miss this but had to stop drinking at midnight. Nope I didn't tell my host why I'd suddenly stopped drinking (a famous male actor) and it was a real bummer as everything was free.

Anyway I left there and had to drive swiftly home to Hampshire as I had to report to the hospital at 7.30. I was really tight for time but had to nip in home first to change out of my finery and pick up my nightie etc. I just managed to stop and pick up a newspaper en route and there were pictures of my host on the front page. I reported into the hospital only about 10 minutes late and explained I was late as I'd been to that party - showing them the front page. I don't know if they thought I was a bit barmy or not from the look on their faces!

I do have another embarrassing moment that doesn't involve blobbing but is along the lines of the turd on the conservatory roof lol.

Many moons ago my then squeeze and I stayed over at his mates house after a New Year party there. In the morning I was mortified to find our condom floating in the loo and try as I might it was not for flushing soooooooooo I rolled my sleeve up and gagged as I fished it out, complete with contents.

Then of course I faced the problem of where to get rid of it.

There was a half empty beer can in the bathroom so I ended up plopping it in there. Back in our room I started to have a pop at him for being so careless, 'why did you try and flush our condom down the loo??' says I and I nearly died when he said 'that wasn't ours, I chucked ours away with the pizza box last night' ................................ AGHHHHHHHHHH!!! :eek:

I was so grossed out that it was a long time before I fessed up, and when I did he said his mate had been telling people that some dirty sod had put their condom in his beer. ....... oops!!

I lost a tampon. I went to the loo and couldn't find it. I was starting to panic, thinking i'd get toxic shock. I shouted on my hubby to come up to the bathroom and help me look. Poor man!! He's quite squemish and he was gagging all the time he was looking. He was on the floor, wearing my marigolds and brandishing a torch!

Then I remembered I hadn't put one in. I always wear a pad and a tampon on my 2 heaviest days. I'd just forgotten to put one in.

If you know how easy he vomits you'd know that this was a labour of love!

I nearly presented at A&E for this same reason, it's scary isn't it? My partner went in elbow deep trying to find it without success. Either I had already removed it, not put one in in the first place, or it's still in there and I can't whiff it and everyone else is too polite to say lol!!!!

We do go through some things don't we?

Glad i'm not the only one. :rotfl:

I always have that problem with tampons, most times I go for a wee, my pelvic muscles push the chuffin' thing out, so I've either got to listen for a plop/splashback or have a nosey.

One time I couldn't remember if I had taken the last one out, I was getting hysterical and was close to getting OH to examine my "interior". Never did find out what happened, but hey, I ain't died of poisoning yet!
