My sisters and I were talking about how me being off the pill has made AFs heavier etc. (they are still on the pill) and we compared worst AF disasters... what was yours?
Here is mine: It was the day before my wedding and I was just finishing my AF on the pill and thought I was all done b/c I only saw spotting that day.
I was wearing a cream dress with a cardigan and after the rehearsal at dinner I felt something warm and I realized AF hadn't left yet. Ugh.
It was too late to control the damage, I had already leaked through my liner onto my dress. Egad....
Thankfully I caught it before anyone noticed and motioned to my sisters and discreetly told them what happened.
They 'covered' me as I went to the bathroom, mind you I am in the church fellowship hall with 40 of my family and friends.
We were able to get the spot out of my dress and my sister (I can't believe I am even admitting this) lent me her panties and she just wore her pantyhose (good sister huh?)
I borrowed my other sister's long jacket (claimed I was chilly) it was December in a drafty church so no one raised a brow.
Thankfully it was near the end of the night and we all went home. DH didn't even know it happened until after the wedding.
ugh!
Re: Worst AF accident?
Right? We giggled like school girls b/c no one knew she was practically commando and in a church no less!
Dear Lord that sucks! I did have a close call in middle school but NEVER like that!
In 8th grade my AF was always super light and I wore white shorts to school one day and AF decided to get super heavy that day of course. Bled through the shorts, got laughed at till I tied a jacket around my waist for the rest of the day.
Weird thing was, there was a school dance that night and a lot of new boys were paying attention to me that night that never even glanced my way before.
Ha ha ha! I am sure they have dealt with that before!
Mine is similar to this but mine happened in Jr High. I think it was only the 1st or 2nd period I got and my mom convinced me to wear a tampon instead of just using a pad. Well, I didn't realize just how heavy my flow was until I was leaving my science class. I stood up & my tampon was so over-full of blood/heavy that it fell out ! Thankfully, it was still in my panties, but there was also a smear of blood on the seat ( which I also wiped off with a flannel shirt I was wearing). I rushed to the ladies room practically walking like a penguin as I didn't want it to fall out of my panties, down my leg pant and on the floor. Luckily I made it there before that happened. Needless to say, I didn't want to take any chances wearing tampon for a long time.
ETA that it didn't fall out from being inserted wrong...just that my flow was so much heavier than I thought.

Oh no! Tampon in this case=FAIL!
My first visit ever from AF was on the first day of junior high (7th grade). What are the chances?! I had to go home half way through the day to change. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but everyone kept asking me why I showed back up to school in a different outfit. I think I said something like, I was tired of the other one, which probably sounded weird.
