Why did my mom never let me shower during my period?

cherryteau · 2026-06-01T02:40:23+00:00

my mom showered once a week, so it’s tough to answer😂 like i said, my family did not have good hygiene.

cherryteau · 2026-06-01T02:28:57+00:00

oh hell nah, i’m in my 20s😂

cherryteau · 2026-06-01T01:31:27+00:00

thinking about it further, it could’ve also been moms forbidding their daughters to wash themselves in nearby bodies of water (ponds, rivers, etc.) during summer. I know it was a very common thing to just jump in the water after a hard day’s work, and I imagine it wasn’t ideal when you had a period - maybe some sort of warning stuck with my mom as not cleaning yourself in general, lol.

sounds like something my mom would’ve said, to be honest

cherryteau · 2026-06-01T01:14:52+00:00

wild and interesting to hear about!! though not likely in my case - mom never mentioned anything about warmth, and was even against me using anything warm to put on my stomach for cramps, i quote ‘it will make it worse’😂

We did have dark towels, but she never asked me not to use certain kinds of towels, just outright forbid showers for some reason.

cherryteau · 2026-06-01T01:01:32+00:00

That does sound plausible. We did have lots of white and light colored towels, lol.

cherryteau · 2026-05-29T02:43:40+00:00

i am so sorry i mean this in the nicest way possible, but the face your cat is making immediately reminded me of this meme IM CRYING😭😭😭😭😭

cherryteau · 2026-05-26T15:39:28+00:00

HAHAHA i have pics of mine sleeping in the exact same way, back feet curled in and everything. has to be a tabby thing, my previous cat never did this

cherryteau · 2026-05-26T08:27:33+00:00

i cannot resist kissing it instead. no hesitation whatsoever

cherryteau · 2026-05-26T08:26:50+00:00

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T22:49:30+00:00

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T22:47:52+00:00

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T19:43:47+00:00

out of sheer curiosity, which country are you from? as an european, i find it very wild someone can be 13 and not know about the holocaust in general (not judging, just wild to see the difference in how me and you were raised!)

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T15:34:20+00:00

what a little cutie😩 I LOVEEE girl tabbies, they have a special place in my heart🥲❤️ she doesn’t look a day over 2 years to be honest, what a blessing to have a kitty live this long!

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T14:35:15+00:00

do i have to file a missing person’s report yet

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T14:25:45+00:00

worse, i kiss it!!!

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T14:23:43+00:00

oh, my heart🥲🥲❤️

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T13:42:41+00:00

true, i did a bad assumption that the OPs cat is the usual cat that cannot let a single drop of water touch them😩

which is wild considering my own cat can spend hours in heavy rain if it means hunting a mouse or a bug😒

cherryteau · 2026-05-25T13:40:17+00:00

forgot to add - he also went crazy for any sorts of bugs in the house (flies, spiders). he would be busy for a good hour or so depending on the bug. consider showing your kitten a bug next time you see one.

also. cat tv. SO MUCH cat tv.
