That happened to me once when I was playing the piano at a dinner party (and being paid). :( I guess the only advice I have is: get some toilet paper and roll it until it resembles a thick tampon somewhat (if it's too thin it doesn't work properly cos it won't expand). Then stick it in. It works for a little while but you have to keep changing it quite frequently, depending on how heavy the flow is.

edit: Oh boy, looking back, if I didn't do that it would have gone everywhere. Lucky I was wearing black trousers. Gross, I know. :(

I almost pm'ed you, until I saw you were talking about PMS. :lol:

I had that happen in a foreign country and I was out with a small group of men. Didn't know where the nearest store was, didn't know how to say "tampons" in Spanish, couldn't find a public restroom to save my life (and if there'd been one, there wasn't likely to be any toilet paper).

We tried asking a guard--they all had rifles and looked like they'd kill you in an instant--if there was a bathroom in the art museum, but I think the guard thought we were asking if the museum was a bathroom. He looked at us like we were crazy. Finally, I had to sneak past the main lobby area of this fancy hotel to find a bathroom with toilet paper.
