| So, I'll start with one of my most embarassing moments I could only share with a girl friend.
Went to the OB-GYN one day. Started the day off getting my shower, went to the bathroom. No toilet paper - look around what 's available. Ah, find some newspaper in the magazine rack. You do what you got to do. Get to the Dr., as I am laying there in a moment of silence I begin to wonder what the headline was as my bare side is facing the open air. Had to wonder if he just might have thought about where I'd been or if it was an interesting topic

| LOL Shirl Too funny!
Laying there, with parts exposed, and feeling a tad vulnerable...I've often wished I could watch a TV or read something posted on the ceiling so I could be distracted for a while. Those stirrups...yuk
How many of us have had to explain to our unsuspecting teenage daughters about what to expect when they see the gynecologist the first time? The horror, oh the horror! I almost burst out laughing at her horror.

| One Dr. I just loved had a large picture on the cieling of a woman standing upright in the stirrups with a tense/surprised expression - the Dr. standing there saying I said relax Mrs. Smith. It did make you smile

| LOL when I first got my period at age 13, my mother didn't believe in tampons, only pads.
I wanted to start using tampons like my girlfriends did...so one evening at Lutheran Church Group I told my 2 best girlfriends...paid my dime and went into the stall on break.
Took a few minutes with my one leg up on the toilet seat, and them outside the door coaching me what to do. Finally got "it" in...
An hour later while sitting at our table, with the minister discussing Martin Luther, I was squirming in pain, and told my girlfriends, I don't like tampons.
Next break try it again they said....ok, went back to the stall, this time with both of them with me.
Pulled on the string and out it popped! What a relief!
Both girlfriends broke out laughing....disclosing to me you don't stick the cardboard up there too............

Still laughing! And at Lutheran Church Group, no less.
I never had any fun with girlfriends like you when I went to confirmation class at my lutheran church.
Gosh that's funny. I'm gonna tell that story to my 17 yr old daughter who wouldn't use a pad if her life depended upon it. Thinks pads belong with grannie pants, or anything that comes to her waist.
Too funny!

| If you really want to get your daughter to laugh - show her an old fashion kotex belt. Does anyone have one anymore?

| Was I the only one that felt strange the first time I wore a tampon? I remember like it was yesterday. My girlfriend with an older sister had told me at school that she had tried one of her sister's and I should too. Karen came over on Sat. and I "put it in"...I just sat in my room and I don't know what I was thinking but I just felt weird. Of course that lasted about 30 minutes and then I told my Mom I was never wearing anything else!!!

| Law: I don't care if your stories or truth, fiction or a bit of both. Ya keep me in stiches.
I'm sure you all are familar with the movie "Carrie"? Remember the bathroom scene where she had her first period? That's my name (little different spelling) and that is pretty much what my first experience was like, but at age 11. (ok nobody was throwing tampons at me...shezzz!!!) It took my mom 2 years before she mentioned the word "sex" and even then she didn't say anything. Just handed me and my sister a couple of books and said "read them." First OB experience...was just that. An experience nobody warned me about.

| Don't ya'll remember why we couldn't wear tampons so soon??????? They were afraid that we wouldn't be virgins any more Also that we might get oversexed too soon.
That thing the doctor had over the examining table where the woman was standing up in stirrups......... my doc had it too.....caption read something like......"Nurse, please heat the (whatever that thing is they insert....can't remember it's name)....calipers?
 Ya'll are lucky. I started my period at 9!!! We were so classy....hahaha. My dad and I were having a pooting contest. I thought I had soiled my pants. When I went in bathroom, I was so mad and called my mom. Told her I had soiled my pants like I thought.. She said OMG no. Made me get in tub and it wasn't even dark.

| Law...I know the feeling...I did the exact same thing..but I was at the beach! After walking the length of a football field, I looked at my girlfriend and said...you are out of your mind...this is torture!!!
Sugah..bless you for being so open when you started your period. I managed to totally hide my first period..I was scared to death..and just kept wadding up kleenex and hiding my panties in the trash barrell out back. By the next month...I had to say something, or I would have run out of panties.

| I was 11 and had been to the Sat afternoon matinee at the movie on Maine st. It was about 7 or 8 blocks to my house . Of course we walked in those days, didnt even own a
car. It was a nice warm Summer day and I had on my favorite light pink dress with a swirly skirt. I love to twirl around in it and pretend that I was Ginger Rogers. When I got home and went to the bathroom , I discovered "it" and called my mother . She had never explained anything to me about the birds and bees. We were too poor to have Kotex
so she showed me how to use what we had . I had to wash and reuse them daily. My belt was a strip of sheet material with a pin in front and a pin in back. I always wore full skirts as most girls did so I didnt worry about the "tell a tale" bulge. I was always trying to "adjust " my pad. When I see guys "adjusting their jewels" it reminds me of it.
Those "good ol days" werent so good.
