I had to leave my friends at the\u00a0club because my stomach was hurting so bad and I knew my period was coming. It was snowing outside and very cold, and I could hardly wait to get home. The tram finally arrived and I hurried in to find a seat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>The chairs in the tram had heating. I felt like I had received a gift from heaven,\u00a0one of the\u00a0few benefits of public transportation. The heated stools relieve cramps and pain from menstruation. In the moment it was paradise.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>I rode for a while, and at one tram stop, two guys got in. I made eye contact with one of them and thought how handsome he was, but in the middle of my painful\u00a0ride, I was not that interested in\u00a0meeting anyone anymore. At this point, the most important thing was the love between me and the chair that warmed my ovaries. I swayed in peace for 15 minutes until\u00a0I reached my station.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/lily-cup-one?utm_source=article+&amp;utm_medium=banner-tram+&amp;utm_campaign=downwiththeick\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" class=\"wp-image-20393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1.jpg\" alt=\"banner\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1-273x273.jpg 273w, https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Artboard-1-100-1-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>The two cute guys laughed and talked.\u00a0I felt like I didn&#8217;t have their attention anymore until I got up. I stood with my back turned to them and then heard thunderous laughter. I didn\u2019t think it had anything to do with me until one exclaimed: &#8216;You must be Mary because you are bloody, Mary&#8217; and started laughing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I looked at them and at the chair, I was sitting on. The relaxation from the\u00a0heated\u00a0seat made my period increase to the\u00a0point where my pants and the chair were drenched in blood. I didn&#8217;t know what to do, I was frozen. I couldn&#8217;t stay on the tram any second longer. I ran outside and didn&#8217;t look back. I wanted to disappear.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><br \/>For months afterwards, I didn&#8217;t take the night tram just to avoid the possibility of meeting the two of them ever again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Comment our period stories in the section below the article, the most creative comments will be rewarded!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>#DOwnWithTheiCK<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Read all your stories:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story One:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-hanging-out-at-the-beach-literally\/\">Hanging Out At The Beach\u2013Literally!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story Two:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-my-kimono-was-drenched-in-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018My Kimono Was Drenched In Blood<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story Three:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-a-huge-blood-clot-fell-out-of-me-in-front-of-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018A Huge Blood Clot Fell Out Of Me In Front Of Everyone!\u2019<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Story Four: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/your-period-horror-stories-my-pad-flew-into-my-boyfriends-mothers-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018My Pad Flew Into My Boyfriend\u2019s Mother\u2019s Food!\u2019<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once, when I was 17, I was waiting to get on the night tram after hitting the bars.
