#tampons

Denji when first seeing you get a bit more sensitive during your cycle freaks out thinking he did something wrong, then freaks out and asks what he needs to do. (He’s so lost.)

Denji will sit and let you rant about your issues, and even give feedback! Not very good feedback but it’s feedback nonetheless!

Denji has only ever been treated badly by every girlfriend he has had, so he truly doesn’t know how to react when you go from good, to hurting. He wouldn’t want his amazing girlfriend in pain!

Denji asks a lot of questions, trying to understand a bit more what you need, and he’s not embarrassed to ask! He loves learning how to be good to you, the way you have been to him

Denji will always give you a shoulder to cry on, and he’ll kiss or lick your tears away!

Denji holds you a LOT through your pain, because that’s what he would want if he was in your position! He’s your own personal heating pad. Double win for you!

Denji may accidentally make you cry or a bit angry from his ignorance about the topic, and all his questions, but he means well! He might even get sad with you!

Denji feels so horrible when you get cramps, but doesn’t quite know what to do, so he tries to give you what medicine he had at the time! (He’s trying! Don’t take random medicine tho!)

First, you'll want to remove your menstrual sponge/soft tampon from the package. There are lots of different brands to choose from, but you want to make sure that you pick a brand that does not use sea sponges. They are not body safe. Safe menstrual sponges/soft tampons look a lot like beauty blenders and will have a few small cuts in them to help with removal.

This is how a menstrual sponge should look, though the shape might differ a bit depending on the brand! What it should not look like is something with large holes in a yellow or brownish colour and with an irregular shape. There is no way to fully disinfect a sea sponge which means you'd be introducing bacteria to your vagina.

To insert the menstrual sponge, you can squeeze it to make it compact and easier to insert and then push it inside with one or two fingers. You want to have the end without the hole in it going in first. Push it until you reach the end of the vaginal canal and it should naturally slide into place to cover the cervix. Depending on how comfortable you are with it, you can feel around with your fingers to familiarize yourself with how it feels when placed correctly.

When you're ready to remove it, insert your fingers and feel for the hole in the sponge to hook your finger in and pull it out. If you've just had sex, the sponge will have been pressed up against the cervix and the hole might be in a slightly different placement to when you inserted so take a moment to feel for it.

If you are towards the end of your period without much blood flow and had sex for a long time without a lot of lube, the sponge might get a little bit dry and feel uncomfortable to remove or feel a bit stuck. Not to worry, because this is where it being a sponge is very convenient! If you can squirt a little water inside, or take a bath if you don't want to do that, the sponge will soak up water and become soft and easy to remove.

Menstrual sponges/soft tampons are not reusable and they can get expensive, so I wouldn't recommend them for daily use in place of a typical tampon or pad. If you're using them occasionally for sex during your period to avoid the appearance of any blood, they're much more convenient.
