A blonde girl got her first period and, not really knowing what to do, decided to go to the drugstore and buy some pads.

She walked into the store, trying to look confident, but as soon as she reached the feminine hygiene aisle, she froze.

There were shelves and shelves of products.

Regular, super, ultra-thin, overnight, wings, no wings, scented, unscented — it looked more complicated than buying a new car.

After standing there for several minutes, completely overwhelmed, she finally decided to ask for help.

She walked up to the clerk and said quietly, “Excuse me… I need to buy some pads, but this is all new to me. I have no idea which kind I should get.”

The clerk gave her a kind smile.

“No problem,” he said. “It can be confusing the first time.”

The blonde looked relieved.

The clerk walked with her back to the aisle and pointed at the different options.

“Well,” he explained, “the right kind depends on the flow.”

The blonde nodded seriously, wanting to make sure she understood.

She thought for a moment, looked back at the clerk, and said:

“Oh… well, it’s ceramic tile.”
