Today, my girlfriend and I got to the stage in our relationship where she thinks its okay to change her tampon whilst I brush my teeth. FML

I really don't think there is any stage in a relationship where that would be okay. FYL haha

Sorry for you OP. That's bloody ridiculous.

You are obviously not at that stage of comfort if you feel the need to complain about it on FML.

I've been with my man for 8 years.. And would never do that in front of him... Ever... Some things should just be private. Maybe u should take a shit while she brushes her teeth and see how she feels.. Cause they are both parts of life.. And about on the same level.

At least she didnt ask you for help that's always a plus but really that's just not a stage in a relationship

If the tampon is nearing the 8 hour limit, it's coming out. Whoever may be in the bathroom is just going to have to understand I don't want Toxic Shock Syndrome for leaving it in too long. I've had them leak plenty of times, I usually wear a liner too but some people wear thongs.

trying to be diplomatic, i think the problem wasnt that the girlfriend was on her period, it was that she felt it was appropriate to change when he was brushing his teeth. having said that, i've changed a pad whilst my bf has been in the shower, but i made him turn his back until id finished. i agree with the people comparing it to pooing, it's quite graphic and i can understand why OP had a problem

The position to put a tampon is not sexy The image of a girl putting a tampon is not pleasant But it is part of a healthy relationship!

there is ABSOLUTELY nothing wring with that. gosh men are so picky and stubborn. if it really bothered you that much you could have walked out of the bathroom brushing your teeth until she was finished. but girls go thru so much pain on their periods between cramps and feeling fat and worrying about bleeding through... its not like she took the tampon and dangled it in your face. she took it out, let it drop in the toilet, and put a new one in. probably before she bled thru. then obviously she washed her hands afterwards! honestly just get over it and suck it up. she's your girlfriend, not some disgusting smelly random girl. you should be happy she's changing her tampon in front of you and not peeing on a pregnancy stick anyway.

i had that happen once and said no way never again lol

I don't care how comfortable I feel with my boyfriend. That will NEVER be okay. My period and related paraphernalia gross me out. Why would I put someone else through that? Disgusting. FYL, OP. I'm sorry.
