All you had to do was put the pad back on in front of them! Awkwardness gone.

Wear tampons.

Oh man, that sucks! How could that even happen? And not all girls can use, or like using, tampons. For some people they are painful or awkward, and others are just weirded out by them.

I don't even understand how this happens unless you didn't stick it to your underwear, which would be your fault also.

Some people can't wear tampons, or dislike to wear tampons or are scared to get the disease tampons can cause. Also, some types of underwear don't let things stick properly, so that could have been OP's problem. Highly doubt it though as you wouldn't be silly enough to try and stick something to an unstickable surface. I'm not going to say YDI, cos no one deserves that ! But maybe next time, vouch for a tampon or while wearing a skirt (if you can/feel comfortable using one) or maybe wear pants (;

YDI Even the least stickiest pads could be held in place by the correct underwear. Which does not mean granny panties or something. And A pad in a freaking skirt? That's asking for trouble anyway.

im not understanding a) how it would fall out b) why, if it did fall out, you would have been wearing a thong while on your period c) why you didnt just point to the man/woman next to you and say "now that is just disgusting, i hope you're ashamed"

actually this can happen if the pad is too big once first time i got it, it came out for me on my pants !and damn i feel bad for you D=

Along with everyone else, I'm pretty baffled as to how the hell this is even possible.

how would it fall out,unless u were wearing a thong...now u know not to wear pads anymore, wear a tampon :)
