I feel like this will work 99% of the time. Or even just say, “Sorry, I can’t hear you, all the blood is rushing out of my uterus!” and point one hand to your ear and the other to your crotch.

ugh this is the only gif I could find of that fabulous JUNGLE RED! scene in The Women.

Well, my mom got a laugh once at target when we ran in to get tampons and chewies for the dog. Then we threw a toblerone on the basket and the lady behind the register was like I FEEL YOU LADY and we all had a chuckle.
