#RandomTuesday : Sanitary pads < Tampons


First!!! Growing up Nigerian, you get your period and they buy you "always" (Made in Nigeria) and if your parents love maybe you'll get imported sanitary pads.

See ehn, the first few times I used pink always (now old one) I spent the better part of my time washing school uniform and tying sweater around my waist - majorly because my flow was heavy but blue was for big girls. And the reaction the dusty ess pads gave me wasn't even to be seen.

Finally my mum saw me one day and just took me to a major supermarket and we found the most expensive cotton pad & the fairy tale begun.

Then when I thought I have found my last bus stop, I had to use tampons one Christmas holiday I spent with my 'Janded' cousins. That day I went into the store with my last 5k and bought 4 boxes of tampax & panty liner...

Tampons are great! Don't let anyone tell you tampons will pop your cherry it won't.

Well I'll like to say I never looked back but, poverty won't let me be great...I used pads just the other day and I have concluded that Sanitary pads < Tampons

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa...

 If you missed my memoirs last week check here .    And please don’t start a lecture of don’t visit boys when you don’t want to do anything with them. At some point I almost lost my virginity, not exactly willingly. First I must Thank God for that day and second I must tell you the story. Me I was okay with visiting boys; at home and even in their hostels. Well it took one day and I lost every bit of trust in going to a guy’s house. I’ll be very dramatic and detailed, one faithful day I paid a friend a visit a "supposed crush"; we’ll call him “Douche” for the sake of this story. Somehow we were kissing then he asked 'Are you a Virgin'.  My countenance changed immediately, so he wants sex, first time here oh! And I hate answering such question but I had to, so I said yes... Mr. Douche looked at his wristwatch and said by this time of the year, you must be joking in his words “pick one remove your top or your jeans with no argument” I pulled my ...
