Have you ever found yourself at the checkout counter, feeling the heat of judgmental eyes as you purchase beer and condoms? Or cringed when the cashier gave your ultra-absorbent panty liners and hemorrhoid cream an extra glance? As mothers, navigating the world of personal items often feels like an open book, revealing our bodies and their functions to the public. Take Jenna from Orlando, Florida, for example; she confronted a critical cashier with, “I need these panty liners because after three kids, a sneeze can lead to a little accident!”
Eventually, we all reach a point where it’s essential to advocate for ourselves, to voice our thoughts, and to clarify that when I’m buying beer and condoms, it simply means I understand the consequences of a few drinks—and trust me, I’m not looking to add another child to the mix.
