You know the ones......

Ok, so for some reason a few girlfriends and I got on the topic of our periods.

Some of us have light periods that last a few days other pretty much need a blood transfusion after...bhahhaha!!

All so different.

Then I brought up that I have my special "period underwear"

WELL....the response was overwhelming. Everyone else did as well !!!!(with the exception of the off few)

WHATTT??? others wore their old ratty, full bum underwear when they had their period???

We killed ourselves laughing.
You know....these ones...



You now the ones your mom put in your christmas stocking that are so stinking ugly. Or the ones your grandma buys you. THANKS GRANDMA!! so much :)

Mom means well, she knows her baby always needs clean underwear and socks. Perfect Christmas stocking stuffer, right? Yup, nope. The ones if you were in a bad car accident you'd FOR SURE get a really cute ambulance guy and you'd be mortified that he was seeing you in you underwear with cats doing yoga on them.

How about your underwear with holes in them?

 How in the world do you get holes in your underwear anyway?

How about your underwear where the elastic is totally shot and its baggy and saggy everywhere??

 Too many cycles in the washing machine?? or maybe it’s too many bags of chips??!! 

Yes, they can be a little too baggy and uncomfortable to wear, but the sad truth is, you feel so bloated that, you don’t even notice the elastic band or saggyness...bhaahh!!

Oh we are so attractive on our periods...so attractive.

So on those few days of our periods....Out go the sexy thong underwear and in comes the underwear that are in the deepest parts of your underwear drawer. Just waiting to make their monthly appearance. I'm sure they are proud of themselves that they get special attention every month.

And wearing a slinky dress? or a skirt that is not lined. FORGET IT! Everyone and there dog will see your grandma underwear lines that are on the sides of your hips it covers your butt that far over. Dang they are comfy....dang

ALSO....anyone else were GRANDMA JAMMIES on their periods???????

I'm talking your ugliest of ugly jammies that are so cozy and so baggy that you could fit another human being in them.

The ones my husband cringes in when I'm wearing them. "What you don't like my reindeer FLANNEL jammies with pockets and a cuff at the bottom of the pant?"

You mean the ones you got from your Great Aunt from up north with popsicles on them? YUP! You know you have a pair in your jammie drawer.

After a full day of kids, the worst cramps that not even 6 advil will even touch, so tired you could curl up on your daughters talking carebear and fall asleep, so nauseaous from the pain that they kids are having crackers and cheese for lunch and yogurt tubes for dinner, so pale from the blood loss that I could join the Cullen vampire clan. ugh.

So, YES! thank you very much. I will curl up in a ball on the couch with my jammies with pizza's on them and pass out!

Enough said. Comfort is the key. comfort........comfort....

So, next month when you tenderly slip on your period underwear where the leg hole is as big as your head...ENJOY

So, next month when you ever so gently put on your Garfield flannel jammies and can't find the arm hole because you accidently got lost in the hugeness....ENJOY!

Lets wear our largest underwear and jammies with a smile and know you are not alone.

YES!!!

LOVE LOVE
