"I was the last person to stand up to go upstairs because I'd been talking to someone, and as soon as I stood up, I felt it. Panic, of course, set in. I ran to the bathroom to assess the damage, and when I tell you this was the heaviest, most Niagara Falls-esque period I have ever experienced, I'm not exaggerating."
"Immediately, I called my maid of honor, who'd gone upstairs, and told her she needed to come to the bathroom downstairs right now. I'm not sure how she materialized outside the bathroom so quickly, but thank God she did. lol. I told her what happened, and even she was like, 'Holy shit, that's a lot of blood.' She then started rummaging through her bag to find something, while I attempted to clean myself up with the virtually useless, sandpaper-like toilet paper."
Multiple people describe unexpected menstrual bleeding in public that caused embarrassment and logistical challenges. One person began bleeding through a dress onto a barstool at a Fourth of July bar and only realized it upon reaching the bathroom. Another experienced a sudden, heavy period three days early during a bridal shower while wearing a cream-colored sheer tulle dress, panicked, and retreated to a bathroom to assess massive bleeding. A maid of honor quickly retrieved a tampon that failed to stay in place while the narrator tried to clean with rough toilet paper. These incidents show how unpredictable bleeding and limited access to supplies amplify shame and stress.
