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.

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

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.

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.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 14 December 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
