Regarding the first period after pregnancy

Dear Shiddy: Oh, silly me, I didn't realize I needed 18 layers of pantyliner to supplement my OB Max tampon! Oh, oh, maybe I ought to have worn two pads, plus a couple of pantyliners. AND then shoved 3 or 4 tampons up there to make sure my skirt isn't speckled with blood and mucus. Good thing I have money to throw at the dry cleaners. The wadded up tampon-in-toilet paper is reminiscent of a spider wrapping its prey.
