Story: Menstrual Blog I

Menstrual blog
©2004 Vatobulo

This is a fake blog. I am a male who is very interested in menstruation. I have searched the web for live menstrual blogs, but cannot find any. There are two or three, but they haven't been updated in years.

Hi! Welcome to my menstrual blog. Okay, here's what's goin' on. My brother caught me having sex. He said he'd tell our parents about it unless I did this blog. You gotta understand my parents, they're like really, really conservative. If they found out about this I could forget the prom, my car, my cell phone, everything!
My wonderful little brother created this blog. He says it's anonymous. He'd damn well better hope it is, that's all I have to say. I know he's obsessed with periods. He could have mine I certainly don't want it!!! He keeps track of mine. Hey brother! Get a girlfriend or something!
Okay, okay, I'll be nice.
I'm supposed to tell a little about myself. I'm NOT telling anyone my name. I turned 18 in January and am graduating from high school next month. I can't wait! I can get my own freakin' life away from the parents and my brother.
I'm about to get my period. I have that crampy feeling. I think I sort of have PMS. I get a little moody, but nothing like one of my friends. She's like a total drama queen!!


Saturday, April 17, 2004 10:04 AM

My brother didn't approve of my message last night. He wants me to describe the cramping more.
There's nothing too exciting about it. It's like I've eaten bad Mexican food or something, but it's sort of in a different place. It comes and goes.
And my brother, he's a nice guy. Really. He wanted me to say that.

Saturday, April 17, 2004 12:22 PM

My brother wants me to talk about my PMS. Despite what he thinks just because I'm in a bad mood doesn't mean it's PMS. I guess I don't have it that bad. A lot of girls are much worse. I sometimes get headaches. Sometimes my back is a little stiff. My breasts can be a little sore. I can be a little bitchy.
My mom has it really bad. She and I cycle together. I'll be in a pissy mood and my mom is like 100 times worse. She's been really bad this month. If she had found about me having sex this month' well, let's say doin' this blog thing isn't that bad!!! LOL
I get sort of a tingly feeling in my inner thighs before I get my period and I have it now. I get that detached feeling. I don't know how else to describe it. I just feel disconnected. My vision is sort of dreamy and cloudy. I hear things but don't really HEAR them. Ya' know?

Saturday, April 17, 2004 2:02 PM

I went to the bathroom and saw some blood in my panties. Aunt Flo is here!

Saturday, April 17, 2004 2:27 PM

Okay, brother, okay!!!
He wants everything god damn detail about this mess in my pants. Grrrrr!!! Our mom is screaming at everyone today. Maybe my PMS is bad. Between my mom bitching at all of us and my brother giving me shit about the blog... I want to kill someone!
Out of habit I used to piece of toilet paper to clean my underpants. It didn't really do anything. I reached under the sink and grabbed a pad. I used Always Thin-Ultras with wings. I unwrapped the yellow wrapper, pulled off the backing, and stuck it inside my panties.

Saturday, April 17, 2004 5:03 PM

My shit was a little runny. Oh little brother, have I grossed you out yet? Probably not! It usually happens when my period starts. I feel like a liquidy mess oozing from both openings.
My pad was about half bloodied I'd say, so I changed it. Same kind. I also am using a tampon. It's a Tampax Pearl unscented with a plastic applicator.

Saturday, April 17, 2004 6:55 PM

My dear little brother says I change my pads too soon and I'm wasting dad's money. Obviously the guy doesn't have a uterus!
It quickly starts to feel very wet down there. It's a gross feeling! Blech!!! Also the smell is just awful. I don't see how people can NOT smell it. Okay, it's probably nowhere near as bad. I mean I can't smell my girlfriends. Maybe it's opposite from farts. Everyone but you can smell your own fart but only you can smell your own period. Speaking of farts, I'm rather gassy. Goes with the territory.
My tampon felt a little heavy so I pulled it out. It was still a little dry and stuck a little to the sides of my vagina. Ouch! It was only about one-third bloody. (yes brother, I know! I'm wasting dad's money! I'll wait until it plops out itself next time!!!!)
My pad is still fairly clean.
I'm really sore down there. It's sort of a throbbing. My back is really hurting, more than usual.
Mom says dinner is ready. After dinner I'll take a hot shower and take it easy.

Saturday, April 17, 2004 11:00 PM

A friend called after dinner. I won't say her name. Sure, there are thousands of girls in this state with her name, but why help narrow down who I am? We chatted a while. I wanted to tell her about this blog thing, but don't want it getting out. She wanted me to see 13 Going on 30 with her. I decided to pass. I still have the shits. I just wanted to lounge around in my sweat pants, watch TV, and be a bum.
I forgot to mention last time I used another tampon last time after I pulled out the first one. Same kind. It's the only kind I use.
I took a shower around 9 or so. I kept the tampon in. My vagina is just too raw. My pad was still fairly clean, but I tossed it. I hate putting on dirty underwear and used pads after a shower. I feel so clean and they feel so dirty.
I put on only panties and a night shirt. It felt so good to get that bra off. All of mine are a little tight (hey, I'm a growing girl) and feel a little tighter around this time of the month. Hey brother!! For a graduation gift, how about some new bras? I'm up to a 34 C now apparently.
I'm about to turn in. I changed my tampon. This time it was pretty full and slipped right out. My pad was a little stained. Better my pad than my panties. My mom gets pissed at me when I have accidents. Groan! I'll be on my own soon. I'll be on my own soon!! I kept the same pad.
So the score for today is
3 Tampax Pearl unscented tampons
3 Always Thin-Ultras with wings


Sunday, April 18, 2004 7:32 AM

I woke up a little before 7 feeling like my bladder was about to explode. I took a nice long piss. My tampon came out without any effort. My pad was pretty full.
Oh, my brother wants descriptions. There are some clots on the tampon. None on my pad. I guess they just all stick to the tampon? Fuck, I don't know. My tampons are always stickier and yuckier than my pads. What's really gross is when I pull it out and I get a sticky string of blood and finally breaks off and lands on my thigh or toilet seat. That hasn't happened yet this period.
I feel totally gross. I want a shower, but I need more sleep. Also if I'm up too early they'll make me go to church. I'm really not in the mood.
I used another tampon and another Always Thin-Ultras with wings. It's my last one. I'll have to swipe some of mom's.

Sunday, April 18, 2004 10:24 AM

My brother woke me with his stereo. I have a headache and feel like I'm sitting in a wet diaper. Mom and dad have left for church. I'm going to take a shower and get moving.

Sunday, April 18, 2004 12:04 PM

I took a shower and got dressed. I used another tampon. I had forgotten I was out of pads, so I went downstairs to my parents' bathroom and grabbed one my mom's Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxis with Wings. I probably should've grabbed a bunch. I don't think straight then I'm on my period.
Okay, brother wants to know what deal is with the wings. I never really thought about it, but I remember reading it help holds the pad closer to the body to prevent leaks.

Sunday, April 18, 2004 3:43 PM

My friend, same one who called last night, called and asked if I'd go running with her. We're both on the track team. I told her I would.
I changed real quick. I pulled out the tampon. About half full, but it came out pretty easily. That's how I can tell. If it sticks it was probably too soon. But it's not like I can put it back in or anything.
I don't like running with a pad. It rubs against me and is really irritating. It's a pain in the ass at the end of my period. I can't really wear a tampon so I have to wear a pad. So anyway, I'm padless now.

Sunday, April 18, 2004 8:18 PM

My mom can be such a bitch. I went into her bathroom and grabbed four of her maxi pads until I could get some more. She has plenty of them. She griped me out, told me I needed to plan better.
I had a good run. We went to Taco Bell after our run.
I'm sort of over the hump with my period. A few days before it and for about two after it starts I feel like a mess. I'm grumpy and forgetful. I'm still bleeding, but it's not quite as heavy. I'm on a tampon and a pad. This will probably be my last tampon this period.

Sunday, April 18, 2004, 10:42 PM

My brother wants to know what it feels like to use a tampon and when I started using them. Then he asked for my entire menstrual history.
I got my period sort of early. I was only 11. It was July 13, 1997. I remember because it was mom's birthday. I forget when I started using tampons. It was probably 9th grade when I started on the track team.
My periods have always been pretty regular. Early on I knew nothing about my body, so I wouldn't have thought much about a missed or late period. I was really naive about that sort of stuff. I learned in health class to keep a calendar and I do keep one. My last period was March 21. Every 26 days, that's me. My periods usually last only about 4 days. Sometimes 5 if it started late in the day.
I really don't know to describe what it's like to use a tampon. The first time it was scary. I mean sticking something inside you like that, especially up THERE!! Nowadays it's not a big deal. I hardly feel it unless I don't get it in far enough, then it's uncomfortable. If it's wet enough it more or less slides out without a whole of tugging.
I lied before. I think I'm going to use a tampon tonight. This will be my last one. No pad. I'm getting itchy down there.
Feminine product count:
5 Tampax Pearl unscented tampons
1 Always Thin-Ultras with wings
2 Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxis with wings

I had that sticky string problem this morning. Plop! Right on my right thigh. The tampon was all red, even the string, but didn't feel as heavy. I'm sure there's a science to all of this. After my shower I used one of mom's valuable Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxis with wings. These have pink wrappers in case you're wondering. I have the other three in my purse. They should last me the day.

I can't blog from school. And even if I could there's no way in hell I'd blog this!
My flow is really slowing down. It's weird. I guess there's the same amount of blood every month. Some months it just gushes out and is over with. Other months it's more constant. This is a gushy month.
On the way to the cafeteria I changed pads. That was about 11:20 I guess. I hate opening that little can in the stall. It's so gross. They're always full. Hey, bro'! I think the school has a job for ya'!! LOL My pad was about 2/3 full I guess.
School gets out at 3:20 and track practice starts at 3:40. I changed pads then. It wasn't even half full.
I thought I was going to go crazy!! I don't know if I'm allergic to the damn things or what, but my whole area down there itched. Okay, my vulva, that's what itched. We practice around the boys so it's really embarrassing to scratch myself there. Plus it doesn't do much good scratching through a pad. I want to stick my hand in my panties and just claw at myself. I probably should've worn a tampon. My period is really weird this month. I thought I was drying up, but I had to change my pad again after I got home because it was getting soaked.
I still have tampons, but I'd rather use a pad tonight, and I'm out. I don't know, I don't like the idea of something in me that long. Toxic shock syndrome and all. I'm going to run out and buy more Always. My mom prefers Stayfree, I prefer Always. I just have to be different from my mom.
This part of my period isn't so bad. The cramping and irritability is completely gone. My breasts aren't tender and seem to fit into my bras again. But that damn itching!

Monday, April 19, 2004, 10:50 PM

I'm back to the little yellow wrappers. LOL. I ran to Wal-Mart and got some Always. The same ones, Always Thin-Ultras with wings. There are so many choices and I wonder if I should become a pad connoisseur, sampling them all. I'm in a really silly mood if you haven't noticed.
My brother is slacking off. He hasn't bugged me today. Have you finally gotten bored bro'?
Pad count:
4 Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxis with wings
1 Always Thin-Ultras with wings

Whew! I think I'm almost done. Pad only looked sort of smeared. Since I hate dirty pads against a clean body I put on another one this morning. It might be my last, but I've thrown a few into my purse just in case.

Tuesday, April 20, 2004, 7:33 PM

My pad lasted all day. There was some blood on it before track practice, but I decided to run bare. I'd rather have a little blood in my panties than itch like I did yesterday. Turns out it was an okay move. Nothing gross in my underpants.

Tuesday, April 20, 2004, 8:22 PM

My brother is so freakin' weird. He congratulated me on another successful period. He says assuming I've never missed and I've always had a 26 day cycle this was my 96th period. I should expect to enjoy (HA!) about 440 more periods. But pregnancies and when I hit menopause could affect that number. Now he wants to know how much they cost so he can figure the cost of a woman's menstrual cycle. Giggle!!
He wants to know if I feel more feminine when I have my period. I feel feminine everyday. I'm a girl! Periods are a pain in the ass. I don't think I described anything fun! The only thing I like about them is they feel so good when they end.
I'm off the hook for the sex thing. But he wants me to blog my period every month. It was actually sort of fun. I mean I had no idea how many pads and tampons I used. I used a lot less than I thought. But I don't think I will. If anyone found out I was doing this.
No more bleeding. I can wear just a night shirt, no panties. I feel free! LOL
Today's pad count:
1 Always Thin-Ultras with wings
Grand total:
8 Tampax Pearl unscented tampons
6 Always Thin-Ultras with wings
6 Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxis with wings
