I thought this was my hometown for a second

I switched to dye free fancy cotton pads, after years of having periods so fucking bad I would sometimes faint, and now i just get like. regular cramps occasionally, they’re not even that bad anymore.

i switched back to these after using fancy organic cotton pads during my most recent period & they caused PROBLEMS out of the blue - 100% confirmed, these are not good to use

EXPLAINS ALOT. WOULDVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW AWHILE AGO. COOOOOOL.

Plus, there’s a study that showed that vagina are highly vascular so, basically, every chemical you put down there is absorbed by your body real fast and really well. In short, ditch tampon too.

TAMPONS are dangerous frequently the direct cause of TSS  TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME

Yeah, reusable pads were one of my first major eco-friendly changes but my body has been way happier that way. They are infinitely more comfortable and effective, and I just throw them in my washing machine on the hand wash + extra rinse and hang dry. I can’t say being on your period is ever pleasant, but it’s way better than before - ESPECIALLY in situations where you can’t change as often - and I don’t feel like the harbinger of the end of the world when I look at my restroom trash can anymore :)

I always buy generic brands but wasnt “always” the ones who were sending fucked up pads to women in africa just a few years ago too???? Fuck always brand.

Could the fact that i use Always brand be the reason i get such bad cramps?? I must test this theory…

Also, pads can take up to 800 years to decompose. Yikes.

Cariona pads (link above) are AWESOME. Don’t knock it til you try it - I’ll never go back to always pads. My period is, like, manageable, for the first time in my life. It is no longer a struggle with excruciating cramps, heavy bleeding, leakage, and looooong periods, but like, mild to medium cramps, and I HAVE A CYCLE AGAIN for the first time in years. Try it. The upfront cost is daunting, I understand, because I was worried I wouldn’t like them, but I’m SO GLAD I got them. Just toss them in bottom of your shower when you take them off, shower as usual, and then squeeze them out. That basically rinses them for you, and then they’re all set for the washer and dryer. You’ll thank yourself later; give it a try.

Why isn’t anyone talking about how cute the Cariona pads are? They look adorable tbh

Cariona pads are amazing and they are SO cute. Like @maybeitsfinallytime was saying, they’re really easy to rinse out, and I usually hang them over my shower rod to dry so I can reuse them during the cycle, then give them a proper wash in hot water with a little sanitizing detergent afterwards.

Here’s to trying some. I even bought the animal crossing variety! Maybe I’ll never worry about running out of pads again? Who knows? I’ll update when I’ve tried them.

For people who menstruate 🩸….

UPDATE: I just ordered the trial pack. I personally have a lot of problems with excruciating cramps my cycle being consistent, especially in recent months after losing weight and medications and such. Hopefully these work well/help because I always feel guilty about the amount of waste normal pads create

For the ladies that like to use tampons instead of pads, look into menstrual cups like flex cup, dixie cup etc. Not only are they much more comfy to use (they dont dry out your vagina!!! Trust me when this helped loads with how painful my vulva felt during my period) they can even help with cramps and bloating such in the case of flex cups. Not to mention they can be used for YEARS with proper care and dont have to be replaced that often unless something like a tear or if you use it while having an infection (just like silicone sex toys you do not want to use the cups while having an infection, it can mess with you later on even after sanitizing them) id reccomend having both cups and reusable pads so that if you have an infection or if your vulva and vagina is very sore during your period you can switch to pads that are better for you and the environment

yeah this is why we say gender stuff affects gay people even more...it’s sad

Local bisexual man deludes himself into thinking he’s gay because his girlfriend pretends to be a man. More at 5

id like the tehms opinion on this... like did a gay/bi man really write this.... i started getting doubts reading what comes after the first text post but looking back on it... the rich Asian family, the arranged marriage, the living situation bringing them closer, thinking it's so funny that your family is under the impression your homosexuality is "cured" bc you're dating a trans person of the opposite sex....op's way of typing.... the caps... the constant hyperbolic way of describing affection... the stupid tumblr im baby memes... the way they narrate their romance when supposedly asking for advice... like this is a fanfiction? this plagiarized at least 50 east asian dramas and shoujo manga plot at once? there's no way a male wrote this 😭

This shit was debunked. If you read this and believed it, you're a fucking idiot.

Literally reads like korean yaoi fanfic written by a teenage girl like can you imagine the CEO of an international business from a conservative “Asian” family (no need for specifics there lol) going on reddit and writing shit like uwu my cute wittle husband gwumpy i’m such a bottom ^ - ^

yeah the original is so obviously cringey and fake. clearly a fujoshi fantasy.

Besides the virulent comments men leave under her videos and the pictures they modify and pass around, she has been sexually harassed, she has been scammed by her male producer, she has had an eating disorder because of beauty standards women are subjected to, she was lead on and used by a 30+ old musician when she was a teenager. She suffers from misogyny like all of us, no matter how rich and white she is.

reblog with the last song you listened to in the tags

This is that good shit

oh you mean the dude who pulled out his dick in front of a group of women, most of whom were probably survivors of sexual harassment and assault, and got the angry reaction he deserved? love that for those ladies <3

Some of those ladies were also minors, so he was also exposing himself to children, in addition to the sexual assault survivors who were there.

Wow so we can’t even flash people in public anymore?! 😭😡😤

“Women are so violent because they won’t let us whip our dicks out in the faces of children!! The rape and murder of women and little girls at the hands of men? Nothing compared to the backlash of being a pervert!! Clearly I am the victim!!”

they should’ve chopped it right off.

yeah i’m stupid. i’m also the smartest man in the world and God’s favourite princess. i cannot die, i’m the best person you’ll ever meet, and the worst girl who’s ever lived. let’s kiss with tongue.
