Ah, that time of the month. When all you want to do is snuggle on the sofa with a hot water bottle, a family-sized bar of chocolate and a packet of Feminax.
And when it comes to your outfit the bigger and baggier, the better. Ok, so you might not win any best-dressed awards, but it’s not about keeping up with Kim Kardashian right now, comfort is totally the name of the game.
So you can imagine that when Reddit user, who posts under the username chrisflynn85, took a snap of his wife in what he calls her ‘Don’t touch me, I’m on my period!’ clothes, and posted it online, the sisters of social media weren’t best pleased.
The photo, taken while his wife wasn’t looking, shows her wearing a dressing gown, tucked in baggy pyjama bottoms and fluffy socks. So far so normal as far as period attire goes.

Likely meant as a harmless joke, what the man hadn’t reckoned on was just how supportive the internet can be when it comes to sticking up for the sisterhood. In just one day the image clocked up more than 2 million views and almost 2,000 comments, most of which were standing up for his wife’s right to rock whatever she wanted during that time.
Afternoonofthefaun leapt to the wife’s defence, saying sarcastically: ‘What, pajamas? Do people normally walk around the house in lingerie or something?’
JessthePest also sympathised, writing: 'Mine’s a pink onesie with a hood. When I was pregnant I looked like a f****** telletubby. And I would totally share that pic with y'all here and now, if I could find it.
But despite the onslaught of comments, the man continued to stoke the fire posting 'If she sees this, pms is going to move to defcon 5’. And later joked that he had Googled divorce lawyers.
It might not come to that, but if we were him we’d be steering clear of his wife for at least the next few days. Dog. House.
