[quote=Anonymous]OP didn't say that girls are walking around with period stains on their clothing at school or elsewhere.

She provided two examples of teen girls refusing to be ashamed of period stains:

1) A girl wearing pajama pants with a period stain around her own house (in view of her brother and his friend)

2) A girl who used sheets with a period stain on them in her own bed

The pearl clutching over this is ridiculous. First of all, I bet you 90% of women have underwear or pajamas with period stains on them and that they certainly wear them around their own home. I certainly do. And I don't freak out if my husband or kids see them. It's a stain, not fresh blood. It isn't unclean -- the clothes have been laundered. It doesn't matter.

And sheets are even less of a concern. Are you sleeping in this girl's bed? No? Then who cares? Even if you wouldn't do the same, that's your choice.

People arguing this is a hygiene issue are being ridiculous. These items are clean but stained. I have some "home only" t-shirts that have food stains on them from pasta sauce or chocolate that I was never able to get out of them. Am I "unclean" if I wear these to watch TV or clean the kitchen?

Y'all need to grow up. This is a non-issue. There is not a scourge of women wearing period stained clothes in public, most people won't do this because it looks untidy and unattractive, just as they won't wear clothes with other stains out in public. You don't need to police the sheets of some teenage girl you don't even know.[/quote]
