‘Things women do that men know nothing about’

I laughed out loud while reading this topic on Reddit: ‘What are some girl secrets guys don’t know about?’ And then I especially laughed at the reactions of the men to our women’s secrets. Pure shock, amazement, misunderstanding, and a lot of hilarity.

According to these Redditors, there are quite a few things that women do or have that men have no idea about — because we never discuss them with them. I myself have often experienced number three; where does such a cramp come from?! Well, if you are also a woman: this is probably a party of recognition. And if you are not, then there is a good chance you will read this with raised eyebrows.

1. ‘That your butt can also cramp during your period. I always call them butthole cramps.’

2. ‘Vaginas have such a high acidity that they can bleach underwear — many women with black underwear will know what I’m talking about.’

3. ‘Sometimes we get a sudden pain in one of our breasts and wonder if we are having a heart attack.’

4. ‘The longer we stand in the shower, the more areas we have shaved.’

5. ‘Have you ever seen a woman with a high ponytail and that ponytail swings back and forth very enthusiastically? Yes, we do that on purpose. We can walk normally so that ponytail doesn’t do that… But we consciously choose not to. It’s fun when your ponytail goes a little whoosh-whoosh.’

6. ‘Dogs love to sniff our crotch when we are on our period. It’s… Extremely uncomfortable.’

7. ‘We really don’t make it up and we don’t exaggerate when we are dramatic during or before our period. Believe me: we find it just as annoying. It’s so frustrating when you can’t control your emotions.’

8. ‘We have a favorite bra. We wash it a lot less often than the rest.’
