TOP SECRET: Code Names

 

 

Check these out, too...

  • Pad prob! How do I get them from my locker to the bathroom?
  • Have a happier period--yes, really!--with our playlist
  • Does it hurt when you first get your period?
  • I need longer pads! How do I tell Mom?
  • What stinks down south?

Say you're in the middle of homeroom and a bud asks why you're doubled over. Or, (eek!), you're caught without supplies, and you need to find out who has the goods. Obviously, you don't want your crush to hear (if he does, send it to: And How was Your Day…). Below are just some of the names other readers use to discreetly clue their buds in. (No, we don't understand them all either).


For period:
TOM (time of the month) * the curse * Aunt Sally * the monthly * The Crimson Tide * my red friend * Johnny Red * The Dot * The Sentence Ender *
Red River * Mr. P * Mr. Thing * Friend from Down South * The Visitor

Supplies:

For tampons: a stick * a tube * a tinky-winky * the plug * birthday candles
For pads: school buses * birthday cards * towels* poe
