      Volleyball Pad Fail

      Joselin T.

      In sixth grade I made the cut for the school volleyball team, but only just. I was technically second string, but more like a substitute. There were a lot of games when I spent the whole time on the bench.

      Periods were fairly new to me and they weren’t yet regular, so when I left for school that morning I wasn’t expecting to get it. At first I thought it would just be light, because my first day was usually very light, but it got heavier throughout the day. All I had in my bag was a panty liner. By the end of the day I knew I had to change it. The problem was that my sixth grade was in an elementary school that didn’t have tampon and pad dispensers.

      After school, my team had a volleyball game. I just wanted to go home, but I was afraid the coach would cut me if I did. It was an away game, so parent volunteers drove us to the school we were competing against. Fortunately that school went up to eighth grade. Their restrooms had pad dispensers, so I bought one.

      I was expecting to get the kind of pad I usually used: absorbent but thin, with wings. That’s not what came out. I got one pad in a cardboard box. I’d never seen anything like it. It was more like a pillow than a pad. It was huge, and it didn’t have wings at all.

      When I pulled off the backing and stuck it to my underwear, it started peeling off right away. It must have been old, because it had lost a lot of stickiness.

      So great, I’m wearing a pad as thick as a pillow with no wings and it’s barely sticking to my undies and now I’m supposed to play volleyball?

      And our uniform was a red top and white shorts! Whose bright idea was that? Why couldn’t it have been red shorts and a white top? Why???

      I was the weakest player on the team and I was hardly ever called on to play. My hope was that the coach wouldn’t put me in the game. Still, I had to participate in warm-ups with everyone else. I did a really bad job for two reasons: a) so the coach would think I was too terrible to play, and b) because I could feel my pad shifting around in my undies every time I moved.

      There were a lot of really strong players on my team. We were beating the other school by a huge margin, so the coach figured she’d give me a chance. Any other day I would have been so happy. Not that day! As soon as I stood up from the bench, a huge gush of blood spilled onto my pad.

      Once I got on the court I didn’t know which would be worse: to play really badly or risk my pad shifting so much that I’d leak through my white shorts.

      I stood with my legs together
