Well, once I was at work and I thought my period cup was inserted correctly. But suddenly I felt a strange discomfort. Turns out it had somehow shifted and was causing a sharp pain. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom multiple times to adjust it. It was so embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Once, a girl got her first period during a school camping trip. She was so unprepared. There were no pads or tampons around. She felt extremely embarrassed and was too shy to ask her friends. She had to use some rolled - up toilet paper, which was really uncomfortable and she was constantly worried about leakage all through the night.
Often, embarrassment is a big part. You could be in a public place like on public transport or in a classroom and worry about leakage or odors. Also, lack of access to supplies is a common theme. You might be in a place where there are no stores or bathrooms nearby to deal with your period needs.
Well, I heard one where a girl was at school when her first period started. She didn't know what was happening and was wearing white pants. Suddenly, she saw the blood and was so embarrassed. She thought she was seriously ill and started to cry. But then a kind teacher noticed and took her to the nurse's office, explaining it was normal.
My period horror story involves being in a job interview. Right in the middle of it, I could feel my period starting. I was so distracted by the discomfort and the worry of a possible accident. I tried my best to focus on the questions, but it was really tough. I kept fidgeting and I'm sure the interviewers noticed something was off.
The suddenness of it all is also common. It can strike at any time without much warning. And for young girls who are not prepared, this sudden onset of bleeding and cramps can be a real shock. They may not be ready to deal with this new aspect of their growing up, both physically and emotionally.
They're disturbing because menstruation is a very personal and private matter. When it's combined with horror elements, it violates that sense of privacy. For example, the idea of something evil being attracted to menstrual blood makes a woman feel vulnerable in a very primal way.
In a period horror story, a woman working late in an old office building gets her period. The lights start to flicker, and she hears the sound of high - heeled shoes clicking on the floor. She's the only one supposed to be there. As she goes to the bathroom to deal with her period, she finds blood smeared on the mirror that wasn't there before. She starts to feel a cold breath on her neck and realizes she's not alone in the building.
Well, my first period horror story was when I was at school. I suddenly felt this strange wetness and I didn't know what was going on. I was wearing white pants and was so scared that everyone would notice. I tried to hide it all day and it was just a nightmare of embarrassment.
The worst part is probably the embarrassment. You don't want others to know and you're constantly worried about any signs showing. It's that feeling of being exposed.
