I'm currently on my period and I fucking hate it because of everyone and everything else.
I got up this morning and hmgot ready. It is now 8.15pm at night and I am still wearing the same sanitary pad that I put on this morning. I never once got a chance to change it. But this is always happening. Every single monthly period that I get. I am just not allowed 5 minutes to myself in the middle of the day. It's written in my contract and it's written down that I am allowed breaks and but the manager is a bully. I can go into work in the morning and I would often be required to work late without any notice and it might be 9 or 10 at night by the time I am home and I get a chance to chance the pad. Thats just insane.
I wasn't working today but I was caught for babysitting and then the parents couldn't be bothered coming home when they said they will be home. Then the same thing all day. Just crying out to get 5 minutes to myself. Then I made it home and I was dumped straight into the childcare at home and everything else. I finally found time at 8.15 and there was someone in the one and only bathroom. And at that stage I had to bully to get into to bathroom.
If I was a man I woupd be allowed a break but no, that's not allowed because I'm only just a woman. It feels as if I need to bully people for something basic as toileting and a change of sanitary pad.
Tampons don't fit me any more and I tried so hard with a cup but it just wouldn't work for me.
