the period project

rant thirty-two: smells

anonymous 

you know what i hate about periods?

that godawful smell.

not only are we cursed with bleeding vaginas, elephants stomping on your abdomen as cramps, and mood swings that fuck up your whole day, but we're also hit with a smell.

a really bad smell.

the type that smells like you killed a raccoon and let if ferment in a hot house for a couple of days. or as if you let rotten food inside of the dead raccoon and THEN let it ferment in your hot house.

and the thing is that no matter how much you scrub your other lady with soap and bleach if need be, the smell will linger and stay there until your Lysol runs out and you finish.

and that fucking. sucks.
