Menstrual Suggestion

-*Mod Star*

They’re about $26US, but if the cup you already have doesn’t work even with the stem cut off, there’s still options for you to have a menstrual cup. I really hope that trimming helps!

this rant brought to you from my couch where i'm slowly dying with my heat pack and tea. 😫

The fact that the only education we get in America about periods is, “when a women’s body sheds the uterine lining” says something. They never talk about what causes the symptoms associated with periods. ·Or the medical problems one can have, like endometriosis. Because all we talk about is “shedding,” people will think that excruciating cramps are normal and not realise that they have a very serious medical condition. ·Or that not only women have periods. Transgender men and nonbinary people have periods, too! Saying only women have periods further alienates the transgender and nonbinary communities. People who might struggle with their body when having their period because it’s a “lady thing.” It also alienates women who do not have periods at all. Saying periods are “a sign of womanhood” are toxic to transgender and nonbinary people, and cis women who have serious medical conditions. YOU ARE NO LESS OF A MAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PERIOD. YOU ARE NO MORE OF A WOMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PERIOD. YOU ARE NO LESS OF A WOMAN BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE A PERIOD. ·Or the different methods of period-maintaining one could use. If we all know what our options are, it might help the people who struggle with body or gender dysphoria when they have their period. I would love to see everyone know the variety of products that are available to them. ·Let’s face it, politicians don’t know much about periods or how the uterus works. Neither do most men. Which makes the topic of (uteruses? uteri?) difficult. Some people don’t understand that birth control does a lot more than just prevent pregnancy. Education has a lot to do with that. If we teach little teenage humans more about their genitals, there won’t be as bad of a stigma and people would know the facts when it came to laws that affect their genitals.

That was the inclusive version, here’s the old school bitch version: Ladies, if he isn’t supportive of or comfortable with your menstruation, maybe he shouldn’t be with a woman.

please let me know, you’re not rude or annoying and I actually do give a fuck and I will correct my mistake, thank you

please give me a heads up. I’ll never get angry at you for letting me know and I’ll actually be really glad that you kept me from giving some awful person more visibility.

me: hey op do you take constructive criticism

Also would prefer one that doesn't assume you're tracking your period to try and get pregnant but I assume that's also hard to find

These are what I believe to be the best ones out there.

Scotland just became the first country to make menstruation products free! (all votes in favour, no abstentions, too, holy shit).
