THE HELL IS THIS?

so i’m texting my friends right? i’m complaining abt my painful period and blood clots. so my friend says “wear tampons so u don’t feel them come out.” i’m sitting here like “ok well won’t they all fall out when i take it out?” so my other friend says “well it absorbs the blood hun” and i respond “how does it absorb something hard?”

to which they told me

BLOOD CLOTS ARENT SUPPOSED TO BE HARD

EXCUSE ME??? WHAT IS THIS?
