Anonymous asked: Thanks for this blog, gonna order a moon cup now! However one question, I have extremely heavy periods... would it be necessary to have a pad as well when using a moon cup, just to be sure there'd be no leaks? (I usually do this when using tampons)

There’s an amazing community at LiveJournal that discusses nearly every aspect of menstrual cup use: insertion, removal, cleaning, brand comparisons, etc. Hope this is helpful for anyone currently using a cup or interested in learning more!

Anonymous asked: Ok, so I've mustered up the courage to write this, and I want your opinion. So, I'm 15, and a few months ago I used to shave 'down there' and I'm not sure why I started, I just did, then I started to become a little lazy, then just forgot about it all together. So now, my cousin, who's a couple years younger than me makes jokes about it, not meant to be mean, but...

Anonymous asked: On the topic of menstrual cups and urinating; I've never had my diva cup make it hard or uncomfortable to pee however I've actually peed on my hand NUMEROUS times taking out my menstrual cup! I'm not sure why it happens, it seems that however I position my hand when I take it out just stimulates my genitals and makes me pee on myself. Sometimes I don't even know I've done...

misscatrina asked: In response to the anon who asked about menstrual cups constricting the urethra - this definitely happens to me, with both cups I've tried (Lunette and DivaCup). I have to put a little effort into peeing, and sometimes even have to take the cup out. I think it's just a problem some people with small anatomy face.
Anonymous asked: I have a question regarding a potential pregnancy. I am due for my period Monday, and had sex when I was ovulating nearly 2 weeks ago. We used a condom all 4 times, and he finished in me twice. I had a white lumpy discharge afterwards I suspected to be a yeast infection. I'm really stressing, but I'm sure we did everything properly. What are my odds of a pregnancy?

honeysucklesmith asked: I was having bad cramps to the point where I wanted to throw up and I thought about a post where you told someone to try other things besides medication to relieve their cramps. I started to imagine my abdomen as a pillow, how fluffy soft a pillow is, and how empty and nothing the pillow is (compared to bloody guts). Evrerytime I really focused my pain would completely subside and I could feel the...

Anonymous asked: you use a menstrual cup, right? when you wear it over night, does it ever do this thing where it has become positioned in a way that constricts your urethra so it's hard/impossible to pee, and hard/impossible not to pee all over your hand when you take it out and the pressure is released? that just happened to me and i don't think i like it.

ashleyketchum asked: Does the removal of a divacup get messy? This is currently one thing that I'm weighing when thinking about making the switch. It just seems like it would have the potential to get everywhere.

extraterrestrialz asked: This might be helpful for people who asked about relieving cramps. For me and some other people I've know, drinking something with caffeine helps tremendously, 99% of the time for me. Very quickly too. Coffee or tea especially. I get KILLER cramps and after a few sips of coffee my cramps are gone. Hope this helped.

iwrestledacuntonce asked: I just stumbled across your tumblr tonight and I'm confused. It's good that you celebrate your period but all I can think of right now is how I hate mine. With a passion. The cramps, the blood, the mood swings, I could do without it. How do you get past the pain and discomfort?

I have prescription medicine for my cramps that don't do shit and I sit there and cry for hours.

essscaaapaaades asked: Andddddd if you send the anon who asked about tampons on over to itsjustaperiod (I'm the moderator LOL) I gave a breakdown of a couple types. OB is my one true blood-absorbing love, though. <3 Tampax compak pearl is pretty good too. I avoid U by Kotex like the plague because I feel like they just don't absorb or go in well.

Mostly, though, I shave dependent on my partner's choice. I know how shitty it is to go down on someone and come up with a mouthful of pubes, so I am k with shaving for my partner. My choice. c: (And if I choose to have...

Anonymous asked: there's a kind of tampons called OB and they don't have an applicator, you just sort of put your finger in the base. it's so much better for me because there's no big plastic device thing. it weirds me out that others are so uncomfortable with their bodies they can't even put in a tampon :-/

learning to love my period :-)
One of my favorite memories is sleeping under a tarp tied between some trees two summers ago. i was on the ground squished between my friends and i could hear all the night forest noises. i think there’s something about menstruation and the natural cycle that makes me feel one with nature and myself and the forest like some kind of magical earth goddess or something. i was looking up at the...

Some things about my period
I got my first period when I was 13.
I used to HATE it and I used to also not understand it at all. I also used to have the worst worst worst pain. I would get fevers and sometimes even throw up.
In the last couple of years I have began using a diva cup and I have began to think of my blood differently.
The pain is still really bad but I have noticed that I don’t have the same...

Then his older brother came in and saw it and embarassed the fuck out of me and made me feel so disgusting. I'm only 17!

Anonymous asked: I am honestly SO glad I found your tumblr. I got my period when I was very young (8) and for the longest time I didn't know that the lining of your uterus comes out. I thought I was the only one it happened to. I'm 16 now, and this is probably the first time I've discovered proof it happens to other women as well. this made me feel so much better about myself. thank you.

saffronyellow asked: i was reading through your blog, and someone mentioned being worried that a moon/diva cup wouldn't fit because of their hymen. it made me think of this, which isn't necessarily period-related, but interesting nonetheless about the hymen :) www lesbilicious co uk/ wp-content/ uploads /2009/ 12/corona pdf (it won't let me post a link, hence the spaces)
