Emergency Blue Peter sanitary solutions requested! (TMI obviously)

[Morphene]

I just felt myself flooding, grabbed a tampon, shoved it in my pocket and shuffled down to the loo.

Having gotten the first part of the exchange done, I have pulled the tampon out of my pocket only to discover it is an Goodies Banana and Date Fruit bar. (other brands available).

I am a heavy bleeder and a long long way from my office.....

Any suggestions?

Hatesummer is there any reason for the twattiness

I'd you say so MrsJ I still don't fancy it

Maybe hatesummer also hates winter?

Or perhaps HS is in Oz or NZ?

Ah yes maybe.

I was just thinking this was a slightly pointless thread but then up pops Liz with her socks idea and saves the OP's blushes!

I stand corrected!

Twattiness?
Reality check: you go into the toilet and realise you don't have a tampon. You have a meeting at 1pm. What would be the sensible thing to do? Start a thread on MN, or use the toilet tissue around you and run back to the office to get the tampon?

I'm not being a twat, I'm being realistic.

I don't hate the winter 😂. I'm loving the beautiful cold weather these days ❤️

I actually had to use the bog roll solution yesterday at work (although I'm fortunate that my first day is very light the horrors come later so I got away relatively unscathed). It was the very shit cheap thin bog roll though, paper towels probably would have been more appreciated!

Yes you're quite right.

We must petition MNHQ to stamp out whimsy, chattering and generally shooting the breeze. This place needs to be much more objective focussed and business-like.

The socks idea is so bloody obvious! 😮 Why didn't I ever think of that when I used to flood right through the emergency tampon. Blimey, I don't miss periods.

I'm going to wait around for the OP to start a thread about the blisters on her feet because she has no socks on. 😆

Why? Don't you think that would be boring manumission? 😊

Manumission

I'm more surprised that you have taken your phone with you but not your bag...
Use the phone?

Socks very clever. Sod's law it's such a cold day today!

shiny bog roll...that stuff shouldn't be in an office (or any) loo

You could have at least tried the date bar for absorbency - it might have surprised you!

Why do you put up with the shiny loo roll? Can't you bring a roll in from home?
Also, put some tampons in there for future. If you're the only woman who uses that loo you could just make it your own private boudoir.

"Blimey, I don't miss periods."

Me neither. I'm a skirt/dress and tights wearer meself, so in the OP's position, I'd have had to whip off my 80 deniers and expose my pasty, hairy legs to all. Horror.

onlyjustme I was wondering that as well. Emergency dash to loo - must take phone .............

Phones and fruit bars up foofs? I was right - this is a pervo troll thread after all. *purses lips in disapproval

I find it very reassuring that other women have had to resort to the 'giant wad of toilet paper acting as sanitary towel' in extremis. I feel less of a disorganised fuck up as a result, so thanks for posting...

(Never had to use a sock .... yet)

This thread has made me buy new socks

I'm sure you can actually buy keyrings with a one hopes discreet tampon-holding case attached, that you can hang from e.g. your belt loop. Or did I just dream that?

First Aid Box will possibly contain a bandage or something similar (either that or stick a plaster on it!!!!
