Hi luna, what do I do if I leak on a chair at school infront all the boys. How do you handle it.

Hi, that heart-drop moment when you think you've leaked in class can feel huge 💛

First, period leaks can happen and there’s honestly no shame in it, even with boys nearby.

A big leak is pretty rare, and most stains are small and around the crotch, so they can be hard for anyone else to see.

While you’re still sitting, you could move around a little to cover any blood that might be on the chair.

Tie a jumper or cardigan around your waist before standing up, or quietly ask a friend if you can borrow one.

Push your chair in, then tell the teacher you really need the toilet.

If saying it out loud feels too awkward, you could write a quick note and ask the teacher to check the chair discreetly too.

In the toilet, wrap up some toilet roll to use as a temporary pad and check whether anything is showing on your clothes.

If you need more help, the school nurse may have period products and sometimes spare clothes 🫶

For next time, you could keep a small period kit in your bag or wear a panty liner to catch the start of your flow.

You’ve got this 🌸
