I feel humiliated
So today I was at work restocking shelves. I had to use the stepping stool to reach the top shelves and when I was doing that a lady came up behind me and patted my back.
I turned around and she whispered that I had bled through my pants. I didn’t have anything to cover up with and neither did she so she walked right behind me to the bathroom so no one would see the blood stain
I thanked her of course, and once I was in the stall I got my phone out and texted my coworker asking her to bring me my bag ( I have tampons and an extra pair of pants for situations like this) And she did.
I then examined the blood stained pants and realized it wasn’t just a little blood stain, i have a heavy flow and it was definitely visible to everyone. It wasn’t just a few spots of blood
I was thinking about it now and I know for a fact other people had to have seen the stain yet said nothing. If she didn’t tell me I wonder how long it would be until either someone told me or I figured it out myself. It’s embarrassing enough already when ONE person sees it but knowing that numerous people saw it and said nothing is humiliating
If you see a woman with blood on the back of her pants please tell her. It’s a lot less embarrassing to be told about it compared to walking around oblivious to it for god knows how long.
