The other day I got my period, but I was just chillen not worrying about it. Usually it doesn’t really get going until day 2, and I had put a fresh tampon in about 4 hours prior. It was even a super size, so I didn’t think I had anything to worry about. My uterus was being fickle that day though! I had been sitting for a couple hours and when I stood up I had bled through my favorite pants and even stained the fabric chair!
In a panic I washed my pants in the sink with hot water. It got some of the blood out but there was still a dark ring all around the outside of the stain. I called my mom and she told me that hot water doesn’t work for blood stains. She instructed me to make a paste with baking soda, apply it to the stained area, and keep it in a bag for 12 hours to keep it moist. Worked for my pants and for the couch cushion!
Also, does anyone else get blood everywhere sometimes when they take out a full tampon on a heavy flow day? I’m talking about I’ve found it on the walls across the room before...happens fairly often actually. I have to be careful to check all surfaces when I change a tampon in a work bathroom!
