Since then I believe some women just take the pill all year and don't get the period at all. My friend's daughter was doing that because she had very bad periods.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679047602360156407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-40649410478160767742021-03-14T07:48:41.234-07:002021-03-14T07:48:41.234-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679047602360156407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-35472838587177439152021-03-14T07:45:14.896-07:002021-03-14T07:45:14.896-07:00Oh did this bring back memories!

As far as my mother was concerned this was not a subject suitable for me to learn about in grade six, even though I was a full year older than my classmates since polio had delayed my start in school until I was seven, nearly eight. I had to sit in the library alone while *every other girl in grade six* went to the "Modess Film" and learned about girl thingsDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795324336116508729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-11281886568452624872021-03-13T22:22:58.137-08:002021-03-13T22:22:58.137-08:00As a child I can remember an ad for washing powder...As a child I can remember an ad for washing powder that showed girls in white tennis dresses and an unctuous male voice-over saying <br />"Stains too difficult, even to talk about"<br />I couldn't work out what they meant -grass stains?<br />In the 90's it was various fluids; the sea, diving into pools,waterfalls and blue liquid seeping onto sheets of cotton wool.

Yes, on a hiking/camping trip, on top of, I am not making this up, Old Rag Mountain, and here's at least one thing about that first tampon: you're thinking straight up, but it's really an angle.
