We have a thread about hangover poo .......

[Notsoyummi]

how about period poo omg I often have to stop and breath mid push the cramps are soo bad!

Poker up the arse pain!! YES!

Also yes, having a good clear out is epic - I'm IBS-constipated and have anal fissures (I'm all the attractives, honest) so it's delightful........but not really, no.

When you wipe your period poo and the loo roll is all brown and sticky with blood on

Oh my god I thought it was just me. The pain feels like contractions and I have to do some deep breathing and sometimes I cry but the relief afterwards is amazing!

Just started my period so period poo will be something to look forward to tomorrow.
Thanks for starting the thread OP, glad it's not just me in a sympathetic way.

This thread is glorious

So we've all experienced the "thrutch fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuuuuuuu.......ck heavy breathing fuckwipe"?

While on the subject of the actual pain, does anyone find hovering/ leaning forward helps to reduce it?

I saw it described on another thread as 'arse daggers'. Very apt!

I read that period diarrhoea is most common when you have a tilted/retroverted uterus because the hormone that causes the uterine contractions is in close proximity to bowels and has the safe effect on them.

I did find my arse daggers are a lot less bad when using a mooncup or pad.

I use hot water bottles on the small of my back when it's a period poo type of day. Helps a little bit. DH had never heard of such a thing til he met me and I (after many months of pretending to be a princess without bodily function) described to him the utter horror of the first day of my period. It's good to share.

Post hysterectomy I have a giant poo every three days rather than one a day. It can be amazing if I have psyllium husk too to help things out. I love a good happy poo that leaves you all floaty afterwards. Not the poker poo though.

Yes to leaning forward helping.

I read that holding your arms up high in the air helps too. It looks fucking stupid but no one is watching.

Oh yes to the floaty poo feeling. Leaves you with a proper smile and all light feeling.

How I wish my conversations would go:
"You look nice. Different outfit?"
"Nope. Just had a proper period poo clear out"
"Ah winning! Hi-5 my friend"

For some reason I read that holding your arms up high in the air helps too. It looks fucking stupid but no one is watching. has made me howl. I have visions of scores of mum's betters trying this tomorrow

I'm crying with (hormonal) laughter at this thread. I'm very proud to announce I had not one, but TWO period poos this morning. Oooh the relief. I've still got javelin arse though .

God, i bet there are poo trolls in awe of how far this thread has gone.

And i bet we'll all be shitting with our arms in the air from now on. Not waving, but shitting.

I would just like to say, I AM NOT A POO TROLL, but DH has recently bought us a Squatty Potty (I know, I know) and it actually does help with javelin arse/poo daggers: Link

Shall try tomorrow with arms aloft

Clopy I put my hands up in the air sometimes...saying ayoo, gotta let go!

I am home I'm in the diarrhoea period poo camp, with bum daggers.

I must be a bit broken (well my reproductive system clearly is, hence my name), as I only get diarrhoea with my period.

(Handy mnemonic for remembering how to spell diarrhoea- doesn't it always run rather horribly over each ankle)

Ah Jesus this thread is BRILLIANT! 😅

And Desolate that mnemonic is the best ever!

I'm of to bed now, very very happy 😊

Diarrhoea=Dash in a real rush, hurry...or else accident...!

Haha! I started a thread in the summer about the hangover poo and learnt the useful terminology the hop. Does a period poo have a special name too?

Its so awful if i get caught short when out. Luckily i had some deoderant in my bag and the loos flushed really well. So i sat it out for a few mins - re flushed and sprayed some around. (Even better if there is a brush by the side too! ) Whoever wrote ' it smells like cat food "..is correct! Never had these problems thirty odd years ago..an age thing in my case. And getting worse.

Cat food poo 😨ewww hate smell of it!
