Your stories about discomfort during periods

Hi girls, I realise I am containing myself a lot when i have my period because I feel uncomfortable.

For example, I am reluctant to go on a hike during periods, doing sports where I would need a clean and private space at some point. Also going to work and fake a smile while I am dying inside. I cannot even say I am on my period because you know, it is still a taboo. Having friendly / date dinner can be a pain.

Once I had to leave a wedding party early because my cup was displaced and needed to adjust it asap and clean my dress...so embarassing. Am I the only one having those problems? Are you all ok and living your life like nothing during your periods?

I want to hear others stories too! My periods are dragging me down.. thanks for your support
