The I've got my period and it really sucks thread

My phys teacher said girls that run more than twenty miles a week generally don't get it. I know this to be true, when I was running that much I skipped it. I was so scared I stopped doing that.

Yeah when my body fat percentage got really low it stopped all together. I had to stop training so much and eat more fatty foods, its incredibly dangerous to stop getting your period all together, you can become permanently infertile.

I read in some women's magazine that it's healthier to skip a period every so often. They actually recommended using the pill to skip a month here and there. Now this is just skipping 1 month every so often .. not all the time.

That is the absolute WORST laundry advice I've EVER witnessed. :wtf:

You don't do much of your own laundry, do you? I hope you don't considering you think bleach is safe for colors. :lol:

That's colorsafe bleach, and it's an entirely different thing.

Regular plain old bleach is not safe for colors.

Coming from the son of the manager of a dry cleaners, bleach is a horrible thing to put on clothes. The best thing to use is actually dish soap.

I used bleach in my laundry once....do I need to go on?

Dish soap eh? Interesting.

I got bleach on my favourite sweatshirt once. I was pissed. I couldn't even get it in Canada, I had to go to freaking New York for that shirt and it was expensive too, then a leaky bottle of bleach got it. :'(

Well bleach works for me!

Yep, it'll clean your clothes way better than anything else. It has built in grease fighters that take out your natural body oils that get embedded in the fabric.

Bleech is bad not only because it can ruin colours, but because eventually it will wear through the fabric. If you go to any dry cleaners they'll tell you it's bad for clothes, and most dry cleaners that wash clothes as well use dish soap instead of detergent because people can also be allergic to the ingredients in detergent.

Yeah I know about the wearing through fabrics part.
But okay, once i used Sunlight on my Nirvana hoodie because we'd run out of real laundry detergent and I wanted to wear it. And then for a year after it smelled funny and it made it kindof messed up for awhile.
So I dont trust dish detergent.
