Reply to comment by rubiscoisrad in TIFU by opting out of having a shower with my girl who’s on her 🩸… by Miser-Mike

Dunno why ppl are acting like there would be no blood. Mustn't have heavy ones. He didn't know she used a tampon in the shower.

It’s been interesting seeing people cast aspersions.

People with heavy flows exist. With this key bit of context (which isn’t really anyone else’s business) standing in bloody water is all of a sudden very possible.

I didn’t know the tampon was used in the shower, no, but why are folks acting like it couldn’t leak out? At risk of being ‘wrong and strong’ I’ll stand by what I said originally - I’m sure I’ll still be educated by all of the biologists.

Vaginas don't need washing out, just the surrounds, so yeah, totally ok to use a tampon. And for the record I don't blame you. I guess the fuck up was communication or lack thereof, if anything.

So people pointed out that you're wrong about some aspects of periods, and your response is "I'll stand by what i said"...

Do you have any experience with heavy flows..? I change my pads every hour some days and I never ended up standing in red water. A ten minute shower uses up 75+ litres of water. She's only going to produce a couple of drops of blood during that time, no matter how heavy her flow is. Look at the size of a menstrual cup - even for women with heavy flows, that usually lasts hours and it's still far smaller than the water a shower will take.

If your girlfriend is actually bleeding so much the water is constantly red, that sounds more like a huge wound in her vagina/uterus that's bleeding out. Like if she's bleeding that much she's probably dead at this point. Rest in peace?
