Stains? Yuck.

Is anyone else paranoid of leaking?

I can be so overly obsessive about it -- that people will look or that everyone will laugh or something. Once in school, I leaked through my jeans so bad, I was so embarassed, but I don't think anyone really noticed or at least said anything. Ugh. I'm pathetic.

It's not fun but no big deal, people won't be shocked or surprised that you as a woman bleed :D

Yes, I can say I'm in the same boat. It drives me nuts, especially around the time I'm supposed to get my period, then all DURING it.
Oy.

When I first started getting my period (I was about 11), I leaked through my jeans pretty badly. I didn't notice until I was bending over at a water fountain and some little boys in my class were laughing at me and pointing.

It hasn't happened since, but it was horrible back then!

UGH I am terrified of getting stains on my clothes... and I really ahve no idea why. I really don't think people aregoing to think less of me, because accidents happen. And it's not like the stain won't come out or I can't buy a new article of clothing to replace it. Maybe I am just insane like that.

school...

Hey there...glad to see you around here!

You're certainly not the only paranoid one...I think it would be absolutely horrible. That's why I always carry a sweater or sweatshirt with me, in case something does happen.

In the last 2 years of high school, I must have leaked at least 6 times. Once it was so bad that I guess at that time my hormones were out of whack and I bled so much I had to leave school. Once I made my mom pick me up at lunch hour and buy me a new pair of pants (I live in the country and go to school in the city, so I couldn't go home to get a pair from there). After awhile I stashed an extra pair in my locker.

You're not alone. At my school in NZ - we have a school uniform and there is nothing worse than being forced to wear a skirt when you've got your period.

My first two years of my period, I was so paranoid everytime I stood up after an hour in class and could feel the blood draining out.

I always went to the toilet and checked. This year, my last year at High school, I'm much more used to it - I still worry a little depending on how heavy I am, but generally I'm in my winter school uniform (kilt with thick wool tights), wear a night/super heavy pad and don't worry.
