20. I don't think it is TMI to go into details about why some women need birth control pills

I have had days where I could not go to to work because I was bleeding so badly.

"Flooding" is the term for uncontrollable menstrual flow, and the way to treat it is with birth control pills.

I guess we could start sending used feminine hygiene products to legislators and religious folk who don't think this use exists.
