can i get off my period faster while on it?!

May I NOT suggest the following message!

" HEY Mom Like Can u go and like get me err sum yeast thingy, cuz I have cheesey thing like from you no where!!!" XD ;-) ;-) XD Just ribbing you kiddo!

I think your's will take about 7 days, so use the whole thing - even when it has disappeared OK? Hey by the time summer roles around you will be a PRO at ALL of this!!! XD

i did not say it like that!! XD well...kind of but not really, i wrote something like "i'm pretty sure i have a yeast infection so i'm going to need some stuff, talk later" and left it near her purse. so this morning she woke me up to talk about it. she asked me how i knew so i told her, and she wanted to take me to the doctors because shes never had one!! but i talked her out of it, after what that lady said i did not want to go! but she wasn't really sure what i needed so i told her to get me the stuff you said...i felt so gross and was even more embarrassed when she said shes never had it before!!!

i did not want to be a pro at all of this!! totally not cool... :-(

Thus me being TOTALLY sure that God IS a Man!!!! XD Do you think that your diet is hgh in sugar? Heck there's enough darn commercials about yeast infection, I think men know what to get!!!! ;-) XD Yeah you don't need to go to a doctor about it! Think of it this way, EVERY time you can buy something over he counter - such as a pregnancy test, a yeast infection kit etc, - it means that it is SO rampant that there is no need to put a strain on the medical community! Keep eating the probiotic yogurt, eat garlic, and cut down on the sugars

ya, has to be!! XD i don't think i eat a lot of sugar %-) i think really only eat like cereal and juice nothing else really, not regularly anyways.
i just want my period to be over so i can fix this!! too bad that drinking water thing isn't true XD i started to eat the yogurt already cuz thats all i can do, but those stick things are really long!!

No they aren't it has to get through the opening and you have to place the insert as far up as possible - they don't hurt at ALL! Nada!

The drinking water thing is silly! Think about it this is your vagina under your uterus 8 and your bladder is seperate! so how can taking in more water cause the uterus to shed more lining? The only thing that it can do, is each time you go to the washroom - to urinate, you will loose some more blood - from the natural force of gravity - there is only so much lining! Urine comes out of your urethra and blood comes out of your vagina! NO correlation!

I don't know where you livel but here in Canada they have these FANTASTIC new commercials for tampons and pads etc. Showing just how STUPID and childish the other commercials are! There's one where the girl says 'I just want to dance wearing white pants, and when they pour that blue liquid on, I'm like - OH that's what's supposed to happen?!..." It's hilarious! And just shows you that what they show is ridiculous, that having a period is NOT a party, but yet you just learn to deal with it and carry on, with protection! And I know it sucks, BUT it also shows you your health as well! So get used to it kiddo!

LOL i didn't say that water can do that, the other girls did XD

omg yes i've seen those commercials, me and my friends went on their website once (cuz a commercial said too XD ) and theres this video of a guy pretending to buy stuff for his girlfriend and asking women what to use and some women got so confused, it was so funny!! you should watch it!! its on the kotex website, and i just got some free samples from them today too!! love shoppers!!

ya, i have like what...40-50 more years of this...going to get use to it, no more white pants for me...but its funny, i didn't really realize just how many commercials there are out there till i started to use them...and now it seems like their everywhere lol

The one that REALLY ticks me off is "mother nature with the red box - the surprise gift - and she states "sometimes it's RAPIDS!" I get SO grossed out about that! And why in heavens name are there men in these commercials? Can you imagine trying to be an actor, you parents have dolled out THOUSANDS of dollars for your pictures and classes etc, and all of a sudden Tommy phones his parents "Hi Mom and Dad, Guess What? I have my 1st GIG!!!!!" XD " OH GREAT news honey, is it in a movie or a tv show?!" " Err NO! It's a tampon commercial and I will be the kyacker pretending to be a Rapid rush of period!" ;-) XD XD XD o.O And when that stupid woman says "they're cute!" WHAT THE **** Is "Cute" about a tampon!!!!? 8-| I find it SO condescending they think that we "just want to cuddle our cat, or dance!" ;-) Actually there was a true email from a woman about Tampax stating that "Make sure your period is a happy period" This woman was HILARIOUS! And since you live in Canada, did you hear that guy that said "Because being a girl ROCKS!"? I just about fell off my chair!!! 8-| XD XD So honey answer this question "Does being a girl ROCK!?" XD XD XD XD XD XD ;-)

Ya that is gross! and i don't know what there are men in them, it was funny, my dad was watching a movie on tv (a 'guys' movie) and a tampon or pad commercial came on and he was like "why would they advertise that during a 'man's movie' like who are their targets...so funny... XD i don't remember the 'cute' part!! I never heard a guy saying because being a girl rocks, but i remember some commerical where they say that... and a really bad time to ask me if being a girl 'rocks!!' lmao!!! 8-| ummm...growing boobs, needing a bra, getting your period, having to shave your legs and pluck/wax your eyebrows, your bikini line, having a baby is the topper!! o.O menopause, dealing with pads/tampons/liners, yeast infections!!!! make-up, having to be skinny and dress nice...and thats just a few, so no! being a girl does not 'rock!' XD lucky men!! they only have one 'major' thing that happens to them! not fair :-(

XD Thus these words MENstruation, MENtal Illness, MENopause... ;-) Actually you know kiddo with ALL we have to go through I LOVE being a woman! I am married with 2 teenage boys, and I think we DO "ROCK!" ;-)

lol...yeah i do like being a girl, like i would never want to be a guy! their gross sometimes and their hard to figure out, they say were complicated, but holy i don't understand them sometimes lol the things they do! we rock, but they stuff we go through doesn't! XD

I just want to DANCE in white pants and Snuggle With my Cat!!!!! ;-) XD

XD so funny!!

is this the e-mail you were talking about...i almost peed my pants laughing so hard!!

Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years, and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core™ or Dri-Weave™ absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from "the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call "an inbred hillbilly with knife skills." Isn't the human body amazing?

As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers' monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in capri pants. Which brings me to the reason for my letter.

Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: "Have a Happy Period."



What I mean is, does any part of your brain really think happiness—actual smiling, laughing happiness—is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless
, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlúa and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man. If you just have to message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like ? Or are you just picking on us?

Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending BS. And that's a promise I will keep. Always.

Best,
