Sadly, yes. I was travelling while on my period. I didn't have the chance to wash out some blood-soaked panties, and ended up accidentally packing them up in a clothes bag next to a lavender colored Icebreaker shirt. I ended up with a good sized blotchy stain on the chest that wicked through to same spot on the back of the shirt. I tried soaking it in cold water for days but could not get the stain out, so I just gave up and resigned the shirt to underlayer use only.

But the story does have a happy ending. Now almost a year later it has slowly but surely been fading with each washing and it's almost invisible now.
