Women often keep certain habits and behaviors to themselves, even if they are considered gross or a bit embarrassing. These are things that women commonly do but rarely acknowledge, not even among their peers. We all have our moments where we’re a mixture of prim, proper, and a bit clumsy, but these are our little secrets that we prefer to keep to ourselves.

Here are 16 things many women do but rarely discuss openly:

Reusing bras: Putting used bras in the wash and then taking them out again to wear them because they are more comfortable than others.

Inspect feminine hygiene products: Inspect tampons or sanitary pads discreetly after use.

DIY Pads: Make makeshift pads using toilet paper when you run out of actual pads.

Bra Freedom: The exhilarating feeling of taking off your bra as soon as you get home.

Ugly Crying Alone: The good and the ugly crying is when you’re alone for no apparent reason, and sometimes you catch yourself crying in the mirror.

Ingrown hair extraction: Selecting long hairs and pimples and then squeezing them.

Recycling clothes: Wear the same outfit two days in a row because you won’t see the same people.

Split food storage: Retrieving and eating a piece of food that has fallen into your split.

Necessity of night lighting: Sleep with a night light because you are still afraid of the dark.

Rescue stained pants: Save pants with yellow and brown stains, knowing that you’ll need them during your period but will never find them when you do.

Stair support: Hold your breasts while going downstairs because it feels more comfortable, especially when you are not wearing a bra.

Dry shampoo days: Do not wash your hair for several days and rely on dry shampoo instead.

Practice mirror dancing: Practice dance moves in front of the mirror before going out at night. It is necessary, after all.

Instant regret: removing all your pubic hair and instantly regretting it, feeling like a big baby.

On-screen leg shaving: Only shave your legs when you know they will be exposed.

Wear Test: Sniff between your jeans and your armpits to see if you can get away with wearing them for another day before wash day.

These are the little quirks that make us human, and most women can relate to at least a few of these “secret” habits.
