These "Secrets" Of Girlhood May Be A Little NSFW, But They’re So, So, So, So, So, So Real

“I’m not a girl, but I’ve been married for three years. When girls fall asleep while on their period and get up out of bed, there is a sudden dump of all the accumulated blood and shedding of their uterus during the night that comes out all at once in the morning, causing a quite quick rush to the bathroom in the morning.”
“I hate this feeling. I have to shuffle my ass to the bathroom as fast as possible to dump everything that had been building the night before. Cough or sneeze before you leave the bed? You have signed your death warrant, and the whole day is ruined. Cleanup is so awful that it sometimes requires a whole shower.”
“When I used to have periods, sometimes it was awful getting out of bed in the morning. I would have to be on my stomach, slide my legs over the bed, then shimmy off the bed slowly, staying hunched over and racing to the bathroom, hoping that I didn’t birth my clots or make a blood river before getting to the toilet. The uterus is supposedly the size of a lemon, and I never understood how so much blood could come out of it!”
“When my husband woke me up once, I told him not to squish me because of this, and now he asks me, ‘How’s my little ketchup packet this morning?'”
