I keep thinking to myself, I always wear dark-colored clothes during this time. But a friend of mine has the courage to wear white and nothing ever happens. Am I just too fussy, or is she just really carefree? Are there really people out there who choose to wear white?
I also tried wearing white during my period once. I swear it caused me trouble because, without even realizing it, there was a slight leak, and I was really embarrassed. Dark colors are definitely safer, I don’t think it’s worth the risk at all.
Sweetheart, this isn’t about courage or anything, it’s all about precautions and hygiene. If there’s even a stain on white clothes, it becomes obvious right away, so the real issue is how you keep up with your hygiene. If she were my daughter, I’d have her wear dark colors so she can feel comfortable 😬
Now that you're completely focused on wearing dark clothes, maybe that's why you're being overly picky. It seems like you've said something to your friend, but maybe they have better control? And you also said, 'I would be shocked if it were up to me,' I think you're exaggerating a bit.
Wearing white underwear does not make a hygienic difference if you are doing your daily checks. However, wearing dark colors may be safer in terms of hiding small stains. It's important to make the choice that feels comfortable for you. If your concerns persist, you can consult with a gynecologist.
My friend said while talking about wearing white, "I already change every 2-3 hours." I, on the other hand, don't change for that long; I guess that's why it seems so risky to me. I wonder if they're taking it off and making portable spare bags or something?
But why do you take your friend as an example so much? Everyone's cycle is different; some are heavier, while others have an easier time. I think calling them overly comfortable is a bit rude; if they pay attention to their hygiene, it’s no one’s business.
In the past, no one would even think of wearing white clothes during this time. Now everyone is seeking individual comfort; one also needs to know how to behave according to the society. In school, when you get noticed, who gets embarrassed, that's another thing. As the old saying goes, dark colors are safer.
If you're going to wear white clothes, I definitely recommend using a panty liner. It protects against leaks and is cleaner in terms of hygiene. Also, take a spare one; have a liner and an undergarment in your bag. This way, you'll feel more at ease.
It seems like boundaries and record-keeping are more important than emotions here. It's safer to keep everything—messages, payments, conversations, whatever it is—and then take action with a calm mind 😮💨
