Not so FAQs but I somewhat knew you might ask me anyway

Based on the last post where I review period panties, I can basically guess questions that some people are going to ask me.

1) Does it ACTUALLY work?

Yeah, it does.

2) Free bleed? Ewww!!!

Sis, it's leak proof period panties designed to trap all that blood! If you feel THAT disgusted, just wear a freaking pad/tampon/cup over it.

3) Don't you feel disgusted?

It's my own blood, dammit! I'm not even going to do anything to it. Just wash it off. Kalau aku nak ikut rasa malu aku tu, dah lama aku buang rahim.

PS: I'm actually in awe at girls (who already got their periods) who got grossed out at CLEAN sanitary pads. Like, girl. What?

4) Tak malu ke cerita pasal period?

Tak malu ke dah besar tapi masih anggap benda ni taboo?

5) Ni lah gadis-gadis zaman sekarang tak ada maruah cerita pasal benda ni. Zaman dulu-dulu malu nak cerita pasal benda ni.

Tulah sebabnya ramai perempuan tak tau pasal reproductive health diorang, sial! Nobody talks about this pasal malu. Your period tak datang even though you are over 16 years old? Still malu to talk bout it? Your period causes you to be so physically in pain that you can't get up? Still malu? Your period blood is soooooo out of control that you might suffer from excessive blood loss? Still malu? Even my science teacher and one motivational speaker who cam to my high school years ago admitted this reproductive health thing is a serious matter and THEY'RE BOTH MALE. Shut the fuck up.

PS: While I consider benda2 ni sometimes boleh settle melalui pemakanan but seriously, jumpa doctor dulu sebelum buat diagnosis sendiri.

6) Can I sleep in it?

You can try. Just put a towel or kain batik on the bed for safety measure.

7) Lecehnya nak kena basuh!

Okay, if you're Muslim or Asian or both, are you serious? We've been rinsing our pads, tampons and cups since we first got our periods. Why wanna gross out about period panties, meh?

8) Tengok budak ni! Tengah galak promote free bleeding! Di mana maruah gadis-gadis zaman sekarang?

First of all, the underwears are designed to hold blood so it doesn't leak out. Second, the intention of the underwears are to either eliminate the constant spending on pads, tampon and cups (cause trust me, they're expensive) or to act as a backup to them should you have any 'accidents' or 'shit, period aku awal sial!' moments.
