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

I've got 2 stories that still make me want to curl up in a ball and die of embarassment.

I came on my first ever period the morning of the school swimming gala and my mum had already left for work when I realised so there was no getting out of it. I rummaged through my mums drawers for a tampon and put that in somehow (wasn't even an applicator one, how the hell did I do that first time!) and forgot about it. I was my forms captain and after 4 hours of swimming and sitting round in a swimming costume my form had won so I had to go up in front of the whole year to collect the trophy. After that we went straight to the changing rooms and I noticed a long red line all the way down my leg. I think I cried myself to sleep that night thinking about how everyone must have seen! Though a few years afterwards when I mentioned it to my friends none of them could remember ever noticing it. dDoesn't make me feel less embarassed about it though!

The other involes a boy I'd been in love with for months (and still am!), a randomly occurring period and white sheets. What boy has white sheets?!
I couldn't face him for months! I've only recently been able to talk to him again nearly 2 years later.

Periods are crap aren't they?!

It's surprising how men get their heads round these things. Many moons ago I popped home while my parents were away to find my brother putting his sheets in the bath. His girlfriend had stayed the night and "come on" unexpectedly. How embarrassed must she have been ?:eek:
They've now been married for 27 years!!!!

its amazing how some men are just like'oh well' and we're there curled up into balls of embaresment just wanting the earth to swallow us. My ex was pretty squeamish about it all but the guy im with now is just so down to earth about it all. Im quite irregular and have come on a few times during sex which used to be mortifying and id have to stop at once and run to the loo and cry but new guy calms me down, reminds me its a natural thing and we can carry on, i still do the loo rush after but there's no more crying, thats probably WAY too mush info but hell, seems to be the theme on this thread and maybe if we all talk about this sort of thing more openly we can stop being so embarased about it when we really shouldnt be, accidents happen.

Have had loads of embarrassing leakages especially back in my younger years when my mum didn't want me using tampons......I used to go to school with about 3 pads on, all overlapping the length of my pants!!
Remember my first ever period, I was wearing my new 'winter white' cord shorts from Gap.....they were never the same after that!!:o

The best story I ever heard was a girl who went to her new boyfriends house to meet his parents. BoyF was from a very rich family and girl was keen to impress and not do anything wrong. Over dinner she needed the loo but was nervous and couldn't think of the 'correct' way to ask "wheres your bog?" so she asked could she freshen up, she was directed to a bathroom with sink mirror etc but no toilet. In her panic and desperation for pee she decided to sit on the sink and pee.
Unfortunately the sink was loose so she hopped onto it with skirt up and knickers round ankles only for it to come away from the wall, send her forward and hit her head and she was knocked out. Her boyf's family had to break down the door to find her unconscious on the floor naked from waist down, lying in a pool of pee!!!!!:eek:

I also had a very cringe-worthy moment with my now husband then boyf when we were staying over in a very dingy B&B, the kind with shared bathroom down the corridor! I had a few too many drinks, went to the loo and had a rather 'urgent' bowel motion, when I went to clean myself I realised I'd forgotten to pull down my teeny tiny g string pants!!:o Had poo in them but nowhere to dispose of them in the toilet so had to wrap them in paper and carry them to our room where I frantically looked for a plastic bag to put them in.:o OH pestered me so much about what I was doing I had to tell him and he still won't let me forget it now!!

What's really interesting, now that we're owning up to our own embarrassments, is that I find myself saying "Yep, I could see me doing that" :eek: :eek:

Interesting ..... hmmmmmmm .... shocking maybe :rotfl:

I'm with post #88 - Mirena coil best thing since sliced bread! I do remember youngest daughter replying loudly at the supermarket checkout, when asked if mummy would be having a little brother or sister for her, 'No because mummy has a crow bar stuck in her front bottom'! I was mortified!

Also when on a residential school trip, aged about 14, the girl I was sharing a room with started her period. I had to go and tell the teacher who was a rather posh, naive, newly qualified male teacher of about 22. I explained the situation and stated that the girl had nothing to use. He said 'Hmmm, righto, leave it to me'. He returned to our door about 10 minutes later with sticking plasters! We roared laughing at the poor man and promptly told everybody we could think of. By the time we returned to school he was the talk of the staffroom. He left the school about a month later - wonder what became of him!

I can hardly see through the tears (laughing!!! :rotfl: )

All I can say is he must have led a very sheltered life.....poor man, I bet he's mortified when he looks back now.

Poor OP - hope you've got over the embarassment now. Brazen it out - it's the only way, and it's hardly something you did on purpose!

I remember being on a French exchange when I was about 13 or 14; I loathed it - hated the girl, thought her father was a drunk and the grandmother was something out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Anyway, they made me speak French all the time, even if I had no idea how to say what I needed/wanted. I went with the girl I was exchanging with to stay at a friend's house, and of course, I started in the night.

Now, I have no idea how you express this delicately in French. In fact, I have no idea how you express this in French at all, so I stuffed loo roll into my pants and pulled the sheets over the bed and left.

On the way back with my exchange's mum, we stopped at the supermarket, and I decided I needed some lady products. Hoping to pass them and pick them up unobtrusively, I trailed along behind. Of course, we didn't go down that row, so in halting French I indicated to Maman that I had some sort of difficulty 'down there', hoping she'd see my woman-to-woman subtext. She patted me reassuringly on the arm, trotted off, and came back ........................with a three pack of condoms.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Who says the French aren't more bohemian and liberated (mad?) than the British?!

Hadn't thought about that in years. Loved all the other stories btw.

I've read all of this thread so will add my cringe moment to it.

After a heavy night on the booze, i was standing in the kitchen the next morning and 'thought' i needed a f*rt.

It turned out, having bad dioreah (sp?) and needing to pass wind have a very similar feeling

I remember last year I got that awful sickness/diarrhoea bug that was going around. I spent most of the day with my head down the loo, then all of a sudden I retched, and diarrhoea came out and landed on OH'S dressing gown.....I was pretty horrified! But at least it didn't land on the floor.....hehehehe.

I think many of the females on here have had a similar embarrassing experience at one time or other. So of course nobody will have pointed it out to you because they remembered their own embarrassment and feelings of humiliation. And the men will have known how their wives felt when they got caught out, or remembered their own masculine problems on occasions when they might have got overly sexually excited so everybody will have exercised good manners and said nothing. People soon forget. Meanwhile, keep a note of expected dates in your diary, and invest in a pack of panty shields to start wearing a couple of days beforehand, just in case.
