I grew up in a very old fashioned family and when I got mine at 15 or so, I hid my soiled underwear in the attic. I was mortified and embarassed and didn't tell a soul. My period didn't fully start until about a year later.
Unfortunately, my mother found the dirty underwear in the attic and was sweet to me, though she said the very worst thing in my mind(as I didn't want to grow up), " You're a woman now". I didn't want to be a woman and was even more embarassed.
When I eventually sneaked out to buy a bra, I wouldn't dare put it in the laundry basket and wore it for a full month without washing it. I was afraid that my father and brother would see it hanging out to dry. My fater had made a comment to my sister and I about having something hidden in our sweaters(meaning breasts) and I was again, horrified at this!
When I finally washed the bra, I shook it outside to dry (it was raining!!!!) and put it back on wet!!!!
Funny to talk about now!
I wouldn't go back! I never understood why girls wanted bras and periods. I found the whole thing to be a mortification!
Now I love my wonderbras!!!! LOL!
