weird vagina stuff about Mooncups and explicit discussion of blood/menstruation below the cut so be warned
i finally told my mother about the weird pain i've been getting in my outer vagina lips, the labia or whatever, (it feels like when your foot is numb, and then if you got stabbed by several needles) and she told me to take my goddamn tampon out and use a fcking pad.
i haven't used a pad since my second or third period, when i was 11-12, because i found tampons.
the last time i used one before today was when my friend gave me one to make the last 2 lessons and home with at school when i was out of tampons. i never used winged ones and hated wearing them.
after an hour of listening to me wailing on about how uncomfortable the pad was, mum pulled out her Mooncup, which had been given to her by a family friend L, who'd 'bought the wrong size' and given it to her. it was however the right size for someone like me, below 30 without any previous births, Vaginal or C-section.
AND HOLY FUCKING CHRIST ON A SHITSTICK IT IT PERFECT.
seriously. i cant express how awesome mooncup is. it's like the ultimate tampon, with no risk of soaking through or TSS, the only problem is the weirdness of getting it in - out and how hard it'd be to wash it in public loos.
i took mine out a while ago, there was some blood in it, like a lil pool, and a string of it was still hanging onto me as i pulled it away. i just emptied the blood into the loo and rinsed it via sink next to me.
honestly, i recommend getting mooncups, divacups, WHATEVER you fucking want bc this shit is easier to get in, pathetically easy to use/keep clean and RLLY GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, YOUR WALLET, AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
its expensive as an inital buy, but cheaper in the long run, and a great eco version for ppl who really need something that can be shoved up there to function like me.
