What Do Girls 'Never' Tell Guys?
Picture a cosplayer, all glitter and flawless hair, sitting in a cramped apartment and explaining the entire science of menstruation to a group of bewildered dudes. Suddenly the world stops spinning, and you realize you’ve never said a single word about the monthly mystery that’s been quietly haunting your life for the last 28 days.
Here’s the lowdown on what those secret, whispered truths are all about:
| Secret # | What It Means | Why Men Need to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Toilet‑Paper Fashion | When you’re out of tampons or pads, you improvise a temporary solution with a roll of toilet paper. | Because the “toilet‑paper” wardrobe is a real thing, and it’s not as glamorous as you think. |
| Flush or Not Flush | Tampons and menstrual cups need special care: some can clog toilets, some don’t. | The flush‑or‑not game is a daily gamble that could send your plumbing into a crisis. |
| Trash‑Can Hide‑And‑Seek | You stack extra tissue over a trash bag so no one sees the evidence. | The “hidden stash” is the secret to maintaining dignity in the kitchen. |
| Smell‑Attract‑Pet | Used products have a scent that can attract pets. | If your cat is sniffing your trash, you’re not alone—it's a widespread phenomenon. |
| Monthly Mysteriousness | The whole cycle is an ongoing, inevitable event that you can’t skip. | Because if you’re not aware, you’ll be caught off‑guard every 28‑ish days. |
TL;DR: Men, you’ve probably never heard these whispers, but every four weeks you’re still in a battle against toilet‑paper fashion, flushing dilemmas, secret trash‑bag tactics, pet sniffing, and the all‑too‑real monthly mystery. It’s a hidden world, and you’re in it—unaware, but still living through it.
I recently saw a video of a girl (she was a cosplay influencer I think?) explaining menstruation in detail to male friends, and I realized I have never said any of that stuff out loud, ever.
Like the part about when you don’t have access to any menstrual products, and you have to fashion yourself one out of toilet paper? Or how cautious you have to be about flushing, or not flushing, your tampons, and then how you feel you have to hide your waste in the trash can (adding extra tissue on top of the trash so no one can see). Also, there’s a smell from your used products that small animals are often attracted to, so you have to dispose of items in places a pet can’t reach, or else they dig through the trash and put your shame on display.
Never said a word out loud but I still have to worry about it every four fucking weeks.
I was surprised by how ignorant some of my friends were as young adults. I have an older sister and she and my mom weren’t secretive about it. I remember asking my sister what it was like when she was having a gnarly period and cramping and getting headaches and mood swings. I used to be the family errand boy also to get on my bike and go to the store when we just needed one or two things, so by the time I had a girlfriend I knew how to get the right products LOL. My first girlfriend was kinda impressed when she was stuck for pads and I said “just give me an empty package and I’ll be back in 20 minutes.” This was in the 90s, maybe that’s not as much of a rarity now, or maybe it still is.
Idk they’ve never told me
When a girl breaks up with you she probably decided quiet a while ago, sister and mom told me this. Not saying it's true, just leaving the comment here.
Yup very true, not always aware of the decision to do it though. I have always looked back and realized that yeah I was ready a couple of months ago.
