I'm sure the majority of women around the world can agree on one thing: periods suck. Period. Even if you try to encourage yourself that someone has it worse than you, it's hard not to be angry with mother nature when the period cramps meme-worthy pain hits.
Periods were considered a stigma, and it's only now that we can talk about it freely. While men, including your significant other, just cannot stomach a little blood, these funny period memes are guaranteed to make you laugh.
To make that time of the month a bit more tolerable, Bored Panda collected some of the best period comics. Being a woman myself, it's just too easy to relate to these cringe-worthy yet so hilariously correct period memes. It's a bit easier to face the period from hell when you know that we're all in this together, girls!

I once bled super heavily, like through a super plus tampon, a night pad with wings, my underwear and my jeans (and not just a little bit either!) in an hour flat. Had a heat pad on that actually blistered my stomach. The pain from the cramps was so bad I didn't even notice my skin burning. Passed out in class. Turned out it was a ruptured ovarian cyst, and a big one at that! What a nightmare.

It always made me laugh how women in Tampon/Pad commercials are always running around frolicking happily on the beach or playing sports... such falsities. That's not gonna sell me your product... but strapping a MONSTER sized candy bar, with a bag of Cheetos and a tissue for all the tears coming.... will.

Period time. I was in so much pain this morning! General discomfort and feeling low and crying. After popping all the pills I could legally take and still no effect, I figured I could wash my brain and pain away with good old comedy and searched for bored panda. This selection of comics was literally the first thing I saw and felt so rewarded! Thank u! I might shed a tear...of course, it's the hormones again.

Hi Julija. The title of your article caught my eye. This article is not about women. It is about people who have or currently experience periods. Some of my friends can relate to this article just as much as me and they do not identify as a women. It is important to think about the ways you are excluding or including people in your title. Please think about this when you come up with a title. This article is about an experience. That experience relates to lots of different people who identify on a large spectrum. Thanks!

It´s usually assumed that all women suffer painful periods, while it´s actually about 50%. Of course even this is too much, but I wonder if the reason for this wrong assumption is that we, the lucky half, keep quiet for fear of appearing unsympathetic.
varwenea 8 years ago
It's simply a fact that we are all different. I rarely suffered 'P'MS but suffered 'D'MS, as in "during". So, it's always a SURPRISE, followed by OH-MY-GAWD-THAT-HURTS...

My periods used to last around 10 days and some months it would cause me to have seziures (I'm epileptic). It was suggested I try the mirena coil which has stopped the bleeding but I still be aching, bloated, spotty and will go full on psycho in the blink of a eye. Why oh who does mother nature hate us?
