I was innocently enjoying my first ever cruise. I woke up and thought that I had shit my pants, there was this weird brown stain all over of undies, I told my mum about the brown 'poo' stains and she went about her normal business.
It wasn't later (and a few more brown-stained undies) until I was on the toilet and saw ACTUAL BLOOD. I was so nervous to tell my mum. I told her and she told me to tell my sister, who had all the supplies. I first straight up refused, then after some convincing I told her.
She walked into my room and opened up her toiletry bag which had the supplies in it. Instead of handing it over, she showered me with pads, like a stripper being showered in money. It was so embarrassing for me, especially because it was my sister doing it and my mum was in the room. I cringe every time I think about it.
I then enjoyed the rest of my cruise, but unfortunately not being able to swim but I still made great memories with my family. Although the first period was not the greatest lead-up for my second. The first was light and short. The second was so heavy I couldn't walk and it went for a whole week!
