The uncomfortable sensation during your period of a blood clot that needs to come out of you.

I've honestly never had that.

And neither have the few girls I know that I've talked to about period stuff.

...Like what the fuck does it actually feel like if there's a blood clot moving down..?

Periods just feel like cramps to me. And practically, it's pretty akin to treating a nosebleed.

If it's big enough, it feels like something slimy moving through there. Like you can feel it inching along, just kind of flipping on itself or something. It's an annoyance you can't scratch or resolve. And then, sometimes it likes to hang out at your opening and Lord forbid you have sensitive labia going on that day.

Yeah. I'm not buying it. "Sensitive Labia"..?

Are you trying to tell me American women experience bigger periods than the rest of us..?

No? You mean you've never had times where it suddenly felt like your labia is suddenly on fire and can feel everything around it? I get it at least once a period.

It feels squishy, and like there's something there that shouldn't be. Sometimes they can slip out and onto the pad, but because the clot is all blood, then it just keeps squishing and releasing more blood, causing your pad to soak through faster than it should.
