One of my very best friends and I have an ongoing conversation about how much our bodies obviously hate us, as evidenced by the constant slew of shenanigans that pop up out of seemingly nowhere. While many things in a woman’s body begin to shift, change, wreak havoc, and fall apart on us as we get older, my most frequently complained about ailment still centers mostly around my menstrual cycle, and the many cruel jokes it plays on me. It’s a shame we don’t share the same sense of humor.

When it comes to that time of the month, I am a hot mess. I am irritable and cranky, while simultaneously emotionally needy; I’m just an uncomfortable cluster of contradictions. What surely doesn’t help matters — and the source for most of my menstruation-related stress — is that its timing has only become more erratic as I have gotten older and my body has continued to change. Naturally, this has made me more accident prone, which is frustrating, to say the least. In addition to making sure I am always, always packing extra pads and tampons with me wherever I go, especially if it is within the week leading up to my monthly visitor, I have also taken to using liners — a great little back-up plan to protect against surprises, leaks, and uncomfortable situations.
