I tried the June cup. worked great until I was at work (a lot of bending and lifting) and apparently it didn't hold the best seal. Middle of my shift with totally wet underwear. In August, 115* and outside work. Was a blast. Back to pads then. The last time or two (and perhaps it's just the stress of the year) I have been super loving cry-mood the week before and of said blood march. Which doubly sucks because usually the week before I just get super into porn and taking care of business. Nothing ruins that mood more than bawling for no loving reason. I still remember my first period: I had had the talk years before, was laying in bed reading a book, and felt something weird, like I had peed myself. Got up, and there was a little spot of blood on the bed. Went to bathroom, did a wipe, realized what happened, put a pad in my underwear, cleaned up the mess, and was back to reading like 10 minutes later. I think I was 15? My mom got hers when she was loving 8.

The same shock jock who calls teen girls and adult women Tomato Pants went on and on about a news story pre Covid, a company that offered women a paid week off for their periods/they could work from home if they were up to it, otherwise week off. How pissed he was, and then how eager to get all the "super bitchy" women out, but only if dudes got a paid week off to wank. it's like, I will never ever have a penis or experience what it feels like to ejaculate, but I am pretty sure it overall feels better than a period.

Tjadeth posted:one time I read an article that said the reason humans get periods when most animals don't is because human embryos are more deeply implanted in the host's body, cause more complications, and are more prone to abnormalities, so the uterus wants to create a hostile environment for newly-fertilized eggs to make drat sure the mediocre ones get flushed I remember being a kid and seeing our dog in heat, and how she'd have to wear loving panties to keep the blood off the carpet. "Ah that sucks to be her," I remember thinking, pre sex ed, pre puberty. How much it had to suck to have to wear something clearly annoying a few times a year! Irony.

I remember reading an article about 4 years ago, that once pence and Trump won the presidency, didn't IUD sales go through the roof? Like there were appointments months in advance already filled? I'm wondering if that's going to happen again with the new supreme Court handmaid who just got forced on. In more blood news, does anyone else get one, maybe two days of fake outs with your period? like, you get the start of cramps, and there's a little blood on the toilet paper, but then nothing actually happens for another day or two so you spend those one or two days on edge and ready and got all the equipment in place, and then nothing happens until you're wearing fresh undies.

Because we need to find some vampires.

I realized when I was younger, I used to keep a calendar and would mark off when I had my period. I don't do that anymore, but maybe I should: I lose track of when I had mine last, but realized today it has to be close, after I spent an hour trying to get a bluetooth thing to connect to my phone, most of it in tears. Ooooh right, it's about that time again. Dazer, POST.

Enfys posted:Well until you experience it, you also don't realise what a loving pain it is, especially since there's often a lot of flowery language around the day you finally "become a woman". There's much less about the bloody details you're going to be dealing with for the next several decades, unless you have very good sex education I was ready to explain menstruation to my nieces as pretty much it's like you're pissing blood, but you don't feel it. You will feel the sensations of someone kicking you in the lower stomach in short spurts, you might feel the wetness when the pad shifts or the cup isn't in fully, you will feel like you ate an entire turkey with all the Thanksgiving day trimmings, and yes, someone is still kicking you in the lower stomach. Also, your breasts will probably be super tender, and you might get horrible fits of anxiety, paranoia, and think everyone can smell it on you. And if you ever get snippy or irritated about anything, regardless of when your cycle is, people will snark you have PMS. Any vacation or fun time you have planned will likely trigger your body to start bleeding. It is not fun, it is not "becoming a woman," it's the price we women pay for genetic certainty.

When a boy in my high school science class once complained about girls and PMS, the lady teacher asked him if he'd ever been kicked in the groin. Of course the class laughed, but the dude got a bit angry and said yeah, it happens in sports. Great, said the teacher, now imagine someone is kicking you there, but no one else can see it, and it happens all throughout the day and night for a week. Every month. For the next 40-50 years.

It really would be great if people didn't care that birth control didn't mean you were gonna gently caress everything within miles. But since we can't change the culture of loving men, in the short term, can medical companies start a new brand campaign that makes birth control pills called something like Monthly Relief, and market them as for your period instead?

I wanted the cup to work for me, but it did not hold at work. Lots of bending, stretching, lifting and stacking heavy poo poo, and the drat thing leaked all over. I just went back to pads, although the diaper thing might be a better option come summer when everything is sticky and hot.

Then there are times I think of the old days, where women had their special tent. I'd be fine if we brought that back and modernized it: work from your little hotel room if you can or want, otherwise you get a week of hot tub or massages or just binge watching poo poo.

Most of my pets haven't cared when I'm on my period, but my dog Lita used to go insane with trying to get at my underwear, even when I was wearing it. Once or twice she dug pads out of the trash and shredded them up. But the other dogs and all the cats haven't given a rip. Just finished mine, and gently caress this time for two days I was spotting, and then finally the floodgates open. I tell myself I'm almost 40, this poo poo should be over soon....right?

I remember as a kid, thinking that since this period blood came from the same place as your pee, women who wore tampons or pads didn't have enough time just to sit and pee/bleed it all out at once. I wondered how long it would take, if you could train yourself to just have it all come out in a few minutes, or an hour? Ah, memories.

RhomboidSphinx posted:So I'm 19 months into the 5 year Kyleena. I know it was stupid but I got my hopes up re coil = no period and so far, it's made barely any difference. Has anyone had any luck with poo poo changing this late in or do I just accept it's not going to happen? I think, and this is just my theory, in the same way that breastfeeding has become sexualized: a period isn't overall because it affects a man's "right" to be aroused/gently caress. A baby nursing is gross because that's a baby on a place where a man gets pleasure. A period means, in addition to having to listen to her complain and whine, a man can't have sex with that particular vagina. I mean, I speak in generals. Most of the straight guys I know are squeamish about periods overall, and only a few of my male friends would probably, if I needed help, actually go to the store to get me a box of pads or whatever. I do remember an old college professor in a mythology class, describing some theories about why, in early early human development, women were often in charge of the group. He put it simply: if too much of this red stuff comes out of a man, he dies. But a woman, she has a lot of this red liquid come out of her EVERY MOON and still lives! And sometimes there is no red liquid, and a new person comes out instead! So clearly the woman is stronger.

Anyone else remember your first time hearing about your period? I don't remember my age, but I do remember sitting in 4th grade in a Special Health Class that was all girls, and how the teacher passed out little bags with pads and coupons in them. She probably gave us a small rundown, but what I remember most was that if the boys, in their own health class, made fun of us at all, we were to tell the teacher asap and they would get detention. Sadly that was all I took from the class. And the rest of the girls as well. The boys were, for once, tight lipped for the rest of the week. But here is the basic poo poo of puberty. Boys: you will get taller and stronger. Your voice will crack, which will make everyone laugh like gently caress. Zits probably. Oh, and that thing between your legs isn't just for peeing, you are gonna want to stick it into everything because it will feel good. You will wake up with wet sheets but it's not pee; masturbate before bed and it might help. And you will get body hair but that's fine, you will look manly. Girls: you will grow taller than the boys at first. Your voice won't crack. Zits very likely. The thing between your legs is going to start bleeding every month. No, you won't feel it come out like pee, you can't control it. No, every month. For about a week. For the rest of your life. It will not feel good. Cramps will happen. And any time you get upset about anything, people will ask if you are on the rag. You will wake up with wet sheets, and no, your pee should not be red. That's the blood. There is no way to stop it. And you will get body hair and that is not fine, you need to shave or pluck it because it is gross otherwise. Oh, and if a boy kisses you, he wants to put his dick in you, and you will get pregnant. Even as a kid I thought it was pretty loving unfair. At least if boys had to have periods too, it would be more balanced. In high school one classmate did tell me, proving how great sex ed is, that "having to jerk off is just like having a period" and if more girls understood that, the world would be a better place.

I bought a ton of white underwear specifically to ice-dye with reds and purples. The last time I wore khakis was about 15 years ago. This period took for loving ever to show up. Had bad cramps and the weepy panic nonstop all weekend. poo poo, that stupid "Wrecked" imagine dragons song had me sobbing at work like I just lost a winning lottery ticket. Is menopause going to be like this?

I'm open to suggestions. (I already bought the main gift, a playpen.) Some kind of white noise machine.

Bibliotechno Music posted:One piece of advice I’ve followed before: if they already have a child, get a small gift for that kid alongside the baby gift. It’s easy for the older one to have some fear or just jealousy that a baby that’s not even here yet is getting all the attention and they’re getting left behind or forgotten or replaced. Oh god yes this. My mom did this for me when she had my brother, and I did it for the kids I nannied for when their younger siblings came along. Also did it for my nephew; he was about 9 when his half brother was born. He was the first grandbaby in the family so was spoiled nonstop, and then his stepmom had a baby, and all the attention flew to baby. I think I sent him a Lego set when I sent some blankets for the baby, and his stepmom texted me to thank me, saying I was the only extended family member who had done so, that most everyone else was too busy loving on the new baby, and it made nephew feel super important that he got a Big Brother gift, and it was something the baby could not play with at all. I second batteries of all sizes as well: some time before Toys R Us went down, I found several clearance remote control piranha cars, and bought one for every kid in the family, and family friends' kids, and made sure to pick up batteries for each one, so there was no way the parents could "oh no hunny we need batteries we can't play with it now." Aunt Cowslips is gonna see some light up loving piranha cars, damnit! For new parents, you can never have enough cleanup burp cloths.

Usually I am super not hungry during my period. Not even my usual comfort junk food is worth poo poo. It's super weird, for the first time I can remember, last week it was like my libido was a teenage boy's. It was a far better feeling than the usual crampy tears and high anxiety. Alas it's over, and the panic anxiety is full swing. Just gotta wait to bleed it all out now.

You know, I know it's presented as a free will and possession issue, but I'm re-reading the Tommy knockers and if nothing else I would not be digging up that stupid ship if one, the mysterious voice just told me to take my beloved pet and turn him into a living duracell, but two, my period was going to last every day for the rest of my life. Or at least until tentacles grew in place in my vagina. That's going to be a hard no from me thank you insane alien possession ghosts. I think I'm just going to pave over that area, make it into a parking lot instead.
