Excruciatingly funny! Those never to be forgotten blushing visits to the drugstore to buy 'feminine protection' stayed in my nightmares for years. Actually your alternative attitude- the 'let everything hang out' approach, really doesn't have very much to recommend it, either.

Spiritual Echo, we must be of the same era. I so remember those horrible pads. I loved this little ditty. I laughed all the way through. Commercials nowadays can be way too explisite, I so agree. GREAT JOB! Loved it! You have my vote in this contest.

I really enjoyed your rant about feminine hygiene even though I'm a man and, of course, never experienced such things. I liked you sense of humour and know that goes a long way in winning a contest. Congratulations.

women forever are embarrassed.
Comment from sizemore0409
Well this was (harrumph, sweating, pulling nervously at my collar, looking around wondering how I got in here, feeling very much as if I don't belong, as all the women aim a sly and knowing small smile at one another) an interesting and somewhat illuminating read --- for me, at least. The flow was well-crafted, carrying the reader along on a nice floating platform of imagery and feeling. By the way, you mention your embarrassment at your first purchase of these uniquely feminine products --- try to imagine the completely different species of embarrassment which I and those of my gender felt the first time WE did it!

What a subject, couldn't help but laugh at what you wrote.
Was real embarrassing ever time we went shopping cause my dad would ask in his normal rather loud voice in the middle of the aisle, what brand we wanted and who needed them this week. My mother died when I was 12 and dad had to buy them for 5 daughters.
I marvel at how he wasn't uncomfortable about it but he said
they had to be brought. I feel embarrassed buying them even today and im 45, stupid I know.

Comment from 7DOSCHannah
When I made this contest, I was almost positive I was going to do everything in my will power to make the storys about monsters and aliens and vampires and goblins. Because thats a popular part of writing now-a-days. I like your story, I do. I like it because it was random, and true. Although it wasnt what I had hoped for it was good. I have to deal with these problems day to day and it's alittle funny look at it from the eyes of someone who has already delt with it annd survived.
Although it wasnt what I was looking for, it was a good piece.

Depend comercial (is) another
Woman,
You are hysterical. Why don't you take Andy Roonie's place? I bet you wax your brows--or at least trim them, you are probably much better looking, and you are ten times funnier. Go on, I dare you to write one on the wonders or ripping our pubes out with hot wax.

Comment from Judian James
I have been trying to get to this one for days. I'm just too damn busy for my own good. Man, did this one bring a good laugh or two, then I hit this line " I think it was stocked right next to the chastity belts" Hilarious. Oh, I too am of the Kotex generation and the "belts" that were necessary to hold them in place!! Thanks for the memories in your unique voice SE. I loved it. (you know the ad that drives me crazy? ... the Cialis ad where the couple end up in separate bath tubs in the middle of meadows or at the end of a dock ... say what??)

Haven't got that one in Canada, but the minute I do I shall write about how too much moisure can lead to wood rot in docks!
Comment from Penpal
Lol, you forgot to mention the taxes, toilette paper and pads are not considered necessities here in Canada. lol
Tells me feminism hasn't come far enough.
I enjoyed this ironically humorous piece. Funny descriptions. And lots of facts lace its sometimes things I didn't need to read atmosphere. hehehehe
My aunt woke up one morning in a bloody mess and thought she was dying. Grammy tore up some rags and gave them to her without any explanation whatsoever, except that it would happen once a month. Thankfully her younger sister was keen on life's woes and such, and explained it to her.
I enjoyed this post.
