White pant wearers, you inspire me
A few weeks back I was tapping through my Insta stories, as one does, when I came across something that stopped me cold. It was a post by Franchesca Ramsey, AKA @chescaleigh, the comedian, writer and social media star whose first book, Well, That Escalated Quickly, came out in May. In it, Ramsey made a tipsy proclamation: She called her day an “an absolute triumph” because she completed a book signing while wearing white pants on her “fucking period.
Because there is no way that I would ever attempt such a feat. Never, ever, ever-ever. And that’s because history has taught me to approach my period with the same motto as The X Files: Trust no one. Every month is a throw down between me and the plushest of Super Plus options. Even after decades of handling this menses business, the tricky minx will toss out a curve ball.
Ramsey’s post compelled me to reflect on my own habits, but it also piqued my curiosity. Days later, I found myself still wondering whether I was the only one dressing around my period. A poll of my friends revealed the answer: No. One acquaintance purposefully seeks out looser waistbands to accommodate an achy, bloated middle. And, like me, paranoia around leakage prompts several others to stick to black jeans—or at least dark bottoms—for early days.
