It's a Sweaty Business

You basically walk around like this trying to hide your butt.

You know how everyone says, "My mother never told me!" Well, that's why we have the internet. Today we talk about menstrual sweat.

You're thrilled, aren't you?

Seriously, though, I thought I was the only one and then a friend mentioned it in passing and I was so fucking relieved I thought I'd mention it here to see if she and I are the only two. I bet we aren't.

Does your whole crotchal area sweat significantly more when you have your period? Do you spend at least a couple of days constantly worrying about the question, "Sweat or blood?" It's not just the method of absorption being used, at least from my small statistical sample. She uses tampons and I use pads so it's not that the item is causing the sweat. Could be hormonal, could be psychological, could be real. I just don't know.

Do you?

Frankly, I'm sick of it.
