My friend and I developed a code so we don’t have to say pad or tampon, but I tend to forget it and because we have no shame we just say it. It actually embarrasses the people around us more than us.
I just started reading your comic a couple weeks ago. It was kind of a bittersweet moment I was like ‘yeah, I got through them all and I am now up to date’ but then sad because now I can’t anytime I want be like ‘I want to read a new boum comic’. I actually started to go to through the ones on the sidebar and they are pretty cool.
It used to embarrass people around me when I’d need one.
Of course, I was wearing mine John Lennon style – pad stuck to my forehead, to keep sweat out of my eyes. Tampons were great for my “Godfather” impression too, but they keep swelling up to the point where you can’t get them out of your mouth! (dental cotton is better… but if I was a dentist, I wouldn’t have to cheap out and use borrowed pads for sweat bands!!)
Hahaha this really reminds me of how I was aged 10 when I’d volunteer to buy pads for the girls who were too embarassed to buy it themselves. So shameless. I totally got the shame when I started having my period though. A real “Oh I get it now” moment :P
Eh, I never had to ask other girls for lady-products because I didn’t have friends when I was in school. Now I only have lady-times 4x year and I can plan well in advance. ;)
guess it runs in the family blood.

Now I’m too old for periods to be embarrassing. By the end of my high school I didn’t care anymore if guys heard me speaking of pads or tampons, haha

Aww, thanks! I’m glad you like my comic! It means a lot!

HAHAHA that’s the best one I’ve heard all day!
A Patch? At least she didn’t call it a “flat tampon…”
Like I use to… xD
I’ve never heard it called a ‘pad’. But then again, I’m a guy.
I’m French, so I had to look it up — I would’ve called it “sanitary napkin” before that. Pad is pretty common I think.
Patch, on the other hand, I’ve never heard in English, and in French it was only that one time. That’s why I kept it.
Oops, I meant ‘patch’.
Haha, well, that explains it!
