Further to the design fault of periods - where's the worst/most inconvenient place you've started a period?
Mine was on a French beach during a cycling holiday (after the usual medication to delay had mysteriously failed), having to navigate primitive toilets and buying STs/pain-killers in a chemist. The false security of seeing 'Kotex, anatomically correct' on the packaging - the enormous size should have been a giveaway - they turned out to be incontinence pads, they worked a treat although they swished when I walked.
The menopause couldn't come soon enough. Please share your experiences.
