You could just wash it? And have them stained? They are underwear, which will not be seen, and will likely end up soiled in some way shortly. But keep going off

You're lumping it all into one thing and it's not. I love that girls are not hiding their pads and tampons and dont feel shamed about a perfectly natural thing. Period stains happen. They are normal. It's not normal to walk around with blood stains, though. Clean that shit up.

It's also not ok to walk around with pee stains or poop stains. All natural things.

Why does it specifically bother you that girls don't care if some old PJs have period stains? How does it affect you?


If I am raising a daughter of course it affects me. I am responsible for teaching her how to navigate the world.

Are you raising OPs kid? How does someone elses child, wearing some old PJs with period stains, affect you? Be specific.


This is a forum where we discuss what we find normal. I never said I cared what OP does in her own home. I couldn't care less. However, in my home and my own child, I expect something different. The whole premise of OPs post is "normalizing period stains" for all of us. Do try to keep up.

Ok, you be sure to tell your imaginary child that she isn't allowed to wear old stained PJs in her room! More power to you I guess.


Imaginary child? My very real child is most certainly taught better than yours.

Why would you say "if" you're raising a girl then? You clearly aren't. No need to lie to strangers on the internet.


Because I felt like it. Is that all you got?

Nope, I just know you aren't raising a girl, and your opinion doesn't count here. So.


I know you think you sound smart by repeating that, but I very much am and, as stated before, am a woman myself.

Being a slob and raising a slob is nothing to be proud of.

You might be a woman (doubtful), but you don't have a daughter. Go away now.

We're talking about girls who are walking around their own homes in clothes with some period stains.

The comparison to "pee and poop stains" doesn't make sense to me. Those don't stain the way period blood does. I guarantee you there are tons of people walking around right now in clothes they got pee or even poop on at some point, and then washed. They don't have visible stains because those substances don't leave visible stains on the exterior or your clothes after washing. I don't have boys but many of my friends do and they've told me all about their battles with streaky underwear and getting their sons to wipe properly. None of them are throwing this underwear out -- it's just being washed and reworn despite the poor hygiene. And these boys aren't just wearing it around their own home, they are wearing it all the time.

So tell me again why a girl with a period blood stain (a stain, not actually blood) on some pajamas she's wearing at home is an unacceptable situation that must be addressed?


Period blood doesn’t stain either unless you leave it to set rather than soaking it. I find it stranger that people don’t take off and soak their clothes / sheets if they get blood on three, they just leave them to dry and stain.


It depends on when you discover it. Teenage girls are more likely to get stains because they have irregular cycles and less experience with preventing or addressing stains. I don't find it surprising at all that a teen might have a period stain on a pair of pajamas or on her sheets, and not have known how to remove it completely.

I will also note that there are certain fabrics where you are never going to get rid of the faint stain even if you soak it. This is why sometimes I have to give up on a white t-shirt and just replace it, because certain stains on a fabric like that are never going to look like new, especially if you don't catch them and treat immediately. White sheets or light colored pajama pants are the same. Freaking out that someone has a very faint blood stain on a white sheet they use on their own bed (it's not a hotel) is really precious.

You threw out underwear with period stains? How is she walking in public looking like a slob with some period undies? What an awful parent.

I am. It sure why you are reducing Ops post to some old pjs with stains. OPs post was about about normalizing this. Making it normal to have blood stains on your clothes. No where does she say the stain was old, it could have been fresh blood. Nor does she say it was old pjs. But her point was about normalizing stains - not about pjs.

You are raising OPs kid? Bizarre, I bet that's news to her!

And it is being normalized. Not by you, with your imaginary children, but by the children themselves. They don't GAF about your tired old sexist notions. And good for them.


It's being normalized because they have morons like you for parents who failed to teach them basic hygiene. Nothing to be proud of.

Stained PJs =/= bad hygiene.

Don't you know the difference? Yikes, feel bad for you and your kids.


Likewise, I feel bad that you failed your daughter entirely by making her think it's ok to walk around in bloody clothing.

Of course they do. Since you failed to teach them basic things, their bosses or mentors will pick up the mantle when they leave your house.

You're an idiot if you think that this world will somehow cater to your slob.
