Periods are the probably the most annoying part of being a woman. They always start unexpectedly and they mess up your emotions while somehow managing to ruin the one pair of panties you really love.
At least there's a silver lining: half of the world gets to experience the same struggle each month, so we're all sisters in this matter. Bored Panda collected some of the funniest posts from Tumblr and Twitter where women share their period horror stories or general thoughts on why periods are truly the satan's sacrificial waterfalls. Be sure to upvote the ones you liked best and share your own stories!

It's always a thin liquid too, like, I'm not pissing on it. Show me how this thing handles a big thick blood clot!
Only fun fact on my tampon box is a warning about Toxic Shock Syndrome
just wait until perimenopause where you are actually on your period for 20 days and you start fainting from blood loss. ahhhh good times....
Half (at least) of my guy friends will gag, get faintish, or have to leave the room for blood, some of them can't even hear conversations or watch on tv.... Meanwhile all the girls are watching surgeons preform operations on tv while we eat & fix all the bloody injuries- bc the boys are busy cringing at the sight. So funny
If you think you can't smell it, just go into the girls' restroom in a middle school. The smell is pretty real.
Or you just think its gone because there's not a single drop of blood for a whole day and you get the courage to have a walk outside without a pad and... bang! Your favorite underwear is destroyed! Hate periods! First wish if I encounter a genie: "Get me rid of this s**t, I don't even want to have damned babies!"
You know what's even worse? Having gastro, then getting your period at the same time. Can't bloody win! Things coming out of both ends (if you know what I mean). Had that happen once before.
True Story. I track my own, and last month I wrote "suspiciously easy". Sure enough, I spent the last few days wondering why I was exhausted and achy and crying because my chair broke :p
for a moment I thought you were talking about fire breath from.. down there, and I thought: oh no, accidentally sneezing or laughing really would be a disaster then! * someone makes you laugh, you set your chair on fire..
Li Shang: "You ok?" Me: "Imma just go home now. . ." Me: *walks away with a red trail following* (period blood) Li Shang: "What the fu-"
Day 8: Sees blood on underwear "Oh God I'm dying what the... wait... adult woman... this is normal. ahhhh"
When your favorite bands turn into your most hated bodily function
If my cat doesn't let me kiss him, I cry anyways. I literally have no excuse.
“come on. almost got it. YES! wait n-no! get in that center you little ba$tard… did i do it? ah f-ck it i’m going back to the bathroom.”
Chihuahua! Also deciding whether to drop everything or risk that pair of underwear.
i imagine it as my uterus has 7 days to assassinate me and if it fails it retreats and comes back in a month
I'm reading these while on my period... it hurts so much to read these, because they're so true
I haven't had my my first period yet but I think I am going to any day now because I am running late. Before reading the I was a tiny bit excited but now I just want to die.
On the package of rose petals, it says rose tea can relieve period cramps. The more you know. Photo-on-6...0a-png.jpg
Do NOT use if you have seizures. Rose hip, rose, and primrose tea or oil can all trigger seizures

How to explain periods to a guy: 1. Uterus wants baby 2. Uterus doesn't get baby 3. Uterus wants REVENGE!!!!!!!
now I understand why Eurus was screeching at S and I when we were teenagers :p
just want to suggest the title be changed to "100+ Painfully Hilarious Posts About Periods That Only People who Menstruate Will Understand" The posts are inclusive, the title really should be too :) great list though.
Laughed at "hours" for a tampon. 45 minutes the first 2 days. Change hourly at night with pads and major leakage. Thank you body for fibroids so I could finally have the bits I never wanted to use removed.
Installing Mirena IUD stops ~95% of downloads, for ~20% of users, and decreases chances of pop-up "Baby" by ~100%. Subscription term: 5 years, easy renewal, option to cancel at any time. Does not protect against viruses. Can be a pain to install though. :-D
Did you mean 100+ posts instead of 10+ in the headline? Because you roped me in and now I've spent the last hour at work reading these and I'm still not done going through them and Im both happy and distraught at the same time because they are all so true and funny but I need to do some work HELP!!!!!!!!!!???!!
If you have strong pain in your period perharps you got a cyst...
No, if you have strong pinching pains prior to your period you may have cysts, although mild pinching pain is normal. Strong pain during your period is just the uterus being a whiny b***h about the exercise.
