Fear #1: The period stops in the shower, but immediately starts after the water keeps running and makes a mess.
Fear #2: Seeing blood in the shower.
Fear #1:
Your period can stop flowing or slow down in the shower because of the counter pressure caused by the water, but there's no need to rush around like a mad woman afterwards to keep from making a mess. The flow will take a few moments to start flowing again, so take your time. Any fluid that does come out can be easily cleaned up with a tissue, anyways. Just make sure you don't have to walk all the way around the house to find a clean pad or tampon.
Fear #2:
I am not the hardcore, dare-devil type, so I understand why seeing blood in the shower is a terrifying, disgusting thought for some people. However, this is natural, and the blood that you see on your period is normal. If you really will faint or freak from seeing blood in the shower, try a tampon or menstrual cup. They are both designed for water.
