no boys allowed in the room!!!!

god yall. my periods are so light i rarely have to use anything at all, tbh

Same here, for years I bled less than one Keeper-full over my entire period. Kinda stopped using it, actually, cos it was slightly diff to get in and out, and it seemed like overkill. Like wearing a flak jacket to a snow-ball fight.

Yeah, I'm the same. Laurel last I checked IUD users were warned against using keepers/moon cups etc. because of the risk of accidentally yanking it out when removing the cup. That's the reason I've never tried one. I'm not at all squeamish but the idea of yanking out my IUD is really unpleasant.

I had to have mine removed the other day cos it had migrated too far downward. Not sure if it was in process of expelling or if I accidentally moved it when the strings suddenly got much more reachable a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was expelling at the time, but the docs said the strings could have been looped up before and I just hadn't realized how long they were until that moment. I uh...may have pulled on them too hard trying to see how far they reached, cos I was in a big of a panic that it was on the way out right that second.

Will wait a month and do it all again.

Man, you're brave lady. I checked mine religiously the fist couple months but now I pretty much just trust that it's staying put. I should probably remember to check every now and then. Good luck with the reinsertion.

Soooooo envious. I will bleed 3-4 Diva Cups on Day Two alone. (Totes normal, no cramps, just one insanely heavy day per cycle (the rest are manageable)).

When I was on hormonal bc it was lighter and w/ a Mirena IUD I had no period at all, which used to bug me but now I miss those carefree days.

yeah i think i make less than one or maybe slightly more than one, i can leave it in for 24 hours w/ no problem. it's pretty good.

I used a Diva Cup once, when I was at a nursing clinical and had left all of my tampons in the car. (It was the only thing I could find in the lounge bathroom.) It worked OK for the four hours left that I was there and then the seal broke open, staining my scrubs, underwear, the concrete of the parking lot of the hospital, and caused me to make faces and run to the bathroom in front of my instructors, which contributed to them considering me too unstable to stay in school. I haven't used one since.

pms mood swings almost made me lose my damn mind yesterday, wtf
drank a lot of pms tea last night and today = better
being a girl is crazytimes sometimes

(will never go back to tampons - have been using a keeper and then a diva cup since 1999!)

what does it mean when your bf asks you what kind of jewels you like

He wants to know if you want a Diva Cup.

lol if he got me a diva cup i would be really confused

esp if inside it was an engagement ring w yr most-hated gemstone

that would be painful?

loling hard at most hated gemstone

i suppose it would be a peridot

an engagement diva cup for your periodot

hahaha what a nightmare

some christmas

my bf gives me a peridot in a diva cup

i dont know what to believe

It should be BLOOD DIAMONDS in a Diva Cup.

omg

so awkward

im going to ask for a lincecum jersey and trivial pursuit

so the wedding ring would come in a keeper?

he would hand it to me during the ceremony wrapped up in a maxi pad

would it have wings?

"on the wings of love" -- yr song

omg u guys

...and then serve blood oranges at the reception.

SANGRIA.

Perhaps you could do a reading from Bodas de Sangre to mark your eternal union.

love u guys

Hey sarahel I am in Oakland, are you by chance free for a drink tomorrow? I have access to wheels and/or a driver (little bro, fellow Oakland denizen).

i have to work until 9 at SFM0M@ but after that - most definitely!

owwwww cramps
menstruation truly amazes me and i think it is awesome how our bodies do it but holy shit sometimes. owww. (mine last only like not even a full day on day 1 so i will shut up tho)

a friend of mine doesn't drink coffee in the first few days of her period b/c then she doesn't have bad cramps.
i've obviously take the side of coffee.

i played a gig last night, and it had been raining for the past few days, so it was humid, and my hair totally ended up looking like the Deep Purple dude we'd talked about in this thread last year.

it's an ongoing dialogue all day long, doesn't understand women who don't like to talk about love and relationships

literally

that makes me sad, i literally thought of her as a more intelligent interesting person for some reason

on the other hand, i can't imagine how many inane things i have said that would look 500x more inane in bold red text next to a guileless picture of me

That's basically what I was just going to say.

in spite of this, her new movie looks terrible

but i blame grody old jack nicholson

thank god he's not playing the love interest

or is he????

what hath hollywood wrought

Monstrosity.

i think he is "the dad" or "the father figure" or sthg
either way he is disgusting

if the posters are to be believed, love interests are BLONDE GUY (whatshisname, the goofy blonde guy) and BRUNETTE GUY (paul rudd)

that makes me sad, i literally thought of her as a more intelligent interesting person for some reason

i always think of reese witherspoon as a really canny person, always constructing her public persona to fit the movies she's appearing in.

i saw a commercial for the movie that showed scenes intercut with an interview with her and she intimated that she had a little crush on jack nicholson and i was like oh, reese, you don't have to do this.

yeah it's owen wilson v paul rudd

oh, reese, you don't have to do this.
ahahaha! srsly. actors are so weird.

it was sort of funny because the steely glint in her eye as she said it totally betrayed the sentiment
