A survey conducted by laxative maker Dulcolax found Latinas would rather talk about their age and weight than about how full of shit they are:
This survey reveals Latinas are far more comfortable talking about these topics than talking about constipation. An overwhelming 90 percent of Hispanic women would rather reveal how many candles were on their last birthday cake than admit they are constipated. More than eight out of ten (81%) would rather talk about their weight than discuss constipation with a neighbor. And although dressing rooms with full-length mirrors are not a girl’s best friend, nearly two-thirds (63%) would rather try on bathing suits than talk about constipation.
Smells kind of funky to us. The survey also found Latinas are too embarrassed to shop for poop-pusher-outers:
Four out of ten Hispanic women confess to having taken some type of measure to avoid being seen when they have bought laxatives. Of them, over half have hidden them under other items in their shopping cart. One-third of them say they have shopped late at night, and a similar percentage stated they would send a friend or family member to pick up laxatives for them.
That’s a load of caca! The person at the register is not looking down on you because you’re still holding onto those Nachos Bell Grande a few days later. He’s looking down on you because you’re buying five dozen ladies’ magazines and two pints of ice cream on a Friday night.
Think Latinas Talk about everything? Thank Again! [Hispanic Tips]

That’s still spot on in my case. I would do ANY of the above before talking about my own bowel movements. I’ve actually gone home during rush hour to relieve my bowels and THEN returned to campus. Somehow the idea that people might realize I have intestines terrifies me. =/

Does this survey reveal ages the women were asked? Because all of tias talk about EVERYTHING. I know the last time my mami had a bowel movement. so maybe just younger latinas?
