My 'period' story: An embarrassing situation at work

We asked you, dear readers to share your funny, embarrassing, humiliating or painful 'period' stories.

Nalini Kudalkar shares an embarrassing experience. You can share yours too!

Periods can be a boon or bane for women.

During my periods, I used to have a heavy flow, which would result in embarrassing situations at work. 

Back home, it was like a religious curfew for those five days.

Once I was in office and had to submit my work to the boss.

It happened to be the day when my flow was very heavy.

I didn't want to leave my seat as I had stained my pyjamas.

I was the only one at work, so reluctantly I got up to submit my work. 

My boss' brother was there and I feared he may have noticed the stain on my pyjamas. 

When I returned to my seat, he slowly whispered and told me, 'Madam, please do take care of your soiled clothes.'

I immediately informed my boss who was kind enough to grant me leave for the day.

Today, I have reached my menopause, but I still remember that day and am thankful to my boss for his support.
