I'm sure the majority of women around the world can agree on one thing: periods suck. Period. Even if you try to encourage yourself that someone has it worse than you, it's hard not to be angry with mother nature when the period cramps meme-worthy pain hits.
Periods were considered a stigma, and it's only now that we can talk about it freely. While men, including your significant other, just cannot stomach a little blood, these funny period memes are guaranteed to make you laugh.
To make that time of the month a bit more tolerable, Bored Panda collected some of the best period comics. Being a woman myself, it's just too easy to relate to these cringe-worthy yet so hilariously correct period memes. It's a bit easier to face the period from hell when you know that we're all in this together, girls!

The Harsh Reality
My very first period was like the second panel. Hasn't gotten much better.
I'm 13 and my period is nothing like that... I felt like I had just been stabbed 103839373936 times my last period...
I actually missed school because the cramps were so bad when I first got it

i'm about 11 years old and i'm so the 13 year old well most the time
I got my first period today (hence me reading period comics) and this definitely fits for the first panel. Now I’m a little more worried for the next!
Wait- I have been having my dysphoria weeks for over a year, does it get worse? My cramps are trying to murder me and for some reason my blood pressure gets all wonky and I can barely stand. I f*****g hate it. It's just a useless estrogen producer cause I'm never gonna have a kid. I want LESS estrogen. Not MORE. F**k off uterus.
Holy s**t i thought it was just me. This is actually really nice to know it's normal
To be fair I’m like 17 all the time, and I’m 15. When I got my first period, I didn’t even get cramps or anything. No mood swings, headaches, anything. Now, everything everywhere all at once is the way I describe my pain. Cramps, headaches, mood swings, stomach aches, everything. Every day it gets worse and worse. Just over one year, and I swear I can’t stand sometimes when I have cramps…
I got my first period when I was 9. Doctor said I was bleeding like a 30-year old. It's just gone downhill from there. I am incredibly jealous of this comic's creator.
Unlike other girls, my first period was the HEAVIEST and most PAINFUL.
... I'm only 12 and I started having cramps 2 years before my period. TWO FREAKING YEARS BEFORE MY F***ING PERIOD.
Uhhhh the first time I was like there are no cramps and I’m completely fine. It’s my fourth period and I’m dying from the pain.
My first period was horribly painful and heavy! I thought I was dying because my stomach was hurting so much! I still have horrible cramps!
at 12y/o was my first period and i still remember that week like yesterday. i wasn't very b****y per sé but i did stay curled up in a ball crying for seven days straight through. thank god it was winter break or I would've had to miss school. cramps are still as bad if not worse to this day
I had cramps when I started my period at the horrible age of 11. But after having my first child they went away. And then when my oldest son was 4 they came back
I actually started when i was 10 sadly but it suckssssssssss so much!!!

Before boys dismiss women's animosity about the patriarchy, they should learn about words like the Hebrew "niddah" and "tuma." But that might involve reading.

It always made me laugh how women in Tampon/Pad commercials are always running around frolicking happily on the beach or playing sports... such falsities. That's not gonna sell me your product... but strapping a MONSTER sized candy bar, with a bag of Cheetos and a tissue for all the tears coming.... will.
Period time. I was in so much pain this morning! General discomfort and feeling low and crying. After popping all the pills I could legally take and still no effect, I figured I could wash my brain and pain away with good old comedy and searched for bored panda. This selection of comics was literally the first thing I saw and felt so rewarded! Thank u! I might shed a tear...of course, it's the hormones again.
indeed...we (men) will never truly understand what you going trough...sorry! Making our best tough! ^^"
We appreciate the acknowledgement nonetheless. It's sweet of you.

Thank God I never had any problem with it so I never really understood what's so bad about it.
Hi Julija. The title of your article caught my eye. This article is not about women. It is about people who have or currently experience periods. Some of my friends can relate to this article just as much as me and they do not identify as a women. It is important to think about the ways you are excluding or including people in your title. Please think about this when you come up with a title. This article is about an experience. That experience relates to lots of different people who identify on a large spectrum. Thanks!
Right on point!!!..THE TRUTH IM LIVING TODAY... MY CHRISTMAD PRESENT
All of these make me so happy i have an iud and don't get periods. Dealing with periods was the worst!
I am 53 and I am sure I will need a transfusion when it's all over. when will it ever stop??????
It´s usually assumed that all women suffer painful periods, while it´s actually about 50%. Of course even this is too much, but I wonder if the reason for this wrong assumption is that we, the lucky half, keep quiet for fear of appearing unsympathetic.
It's simply a fact that we are all different. I rarely suffered 'P'MS but suffered 'D'MS, as in "during". So, it's always a SURPRISE, followed by OH-MY-GAWD-THAT-HURTS...

My first period started in the middle of an important maths test. It was inconvenient
Literally just read every comic while sitting on the throne in struggle mode! Thanks for the assist 😉
My periods used to last around 10 days and some months it would cause me to have seziures (I'm epileptic). It was suggested I try the mirena coil which has stopped the bleeding but I still be aching, bloated, spotty and will go full on psycho in the blink of a eye. Why oh who does mother nature hate us?
Couldn't stop laughing at 13 because it's so true for me anyway.
Only women understand...very true! Hate my period, it's like an omen or a curse.
Periods are not supposed to last as long as that calendar comic shows. Are you sure everything is okay in there?
sorry can not recognize anything of it, the blood yes but it has not destroyed my life. I have obviously had it easy with very few genes.
