My cup "farted" at work and I'm dying of embarrassment
Please tell me someone can relate. Idk about you all, but for me, part of being a cup user for the past decade or so has always been accepting the insane noises that come with it. Normally they happen when inserting/removing so I'm in a private space like a bathroom and it's not so bad. But for me, whenever I'm having a heavy flow day and I stand up after sitting for a while, often my cup will surprise me with a really cool, fun noise that sounds like giant bubbly farts as the air gets displaced. Often when this happens I know it means my cup is full or getting full and I really need to go empty it. At home it's no big deal but in public it always makes standing up in a quiet room a high risk venture.
Well, today, I had my worst one yet. It's day 4 which for me is usually quite a bit less heavy than the first 3, which means less emptying and is usually fairly chill. I made the mistake of being too complacent. Thought I'd make it to the end of my shift without having to empty like I normally can on day 4. Well, 10 minutes before the end of my shift, I stood up from my desk and my uterus decided to say F You. Immediately, my cup let out the loudest, most insane gurgly fart noise known to man and I felt a massive leak. I immediately froze. I work in a cubicle, with my coworkers all around me. It was dead silent. I know for a fact everyone in the entire office heard it. I was so mortified I couldn't even leave my cube to shuffle to the bathroom. I just stood there trying to figure out how to explain away the noise, but it's not like you can just yell, "Sorry guys! I'm on my period! That was my full Diva Cup, not a fart! I promise!" Now I have to go back and face all my coworkers tomorrow like a normal person with the knowledge that they all most likely think I just ripped huge ass in my cube tonight for all to hear. I hate using a cup sometimes-- this is going to be an intrusive thought that keeps me awake at 3 am for the rest of my life 💀💀💀
