I think the main thing we can appreciate is that we have so many options for all the different needs now. Some people don’t do tampons for religious reasons, they know they’re forgetful, or they don’t want bleached products in their body, etc. Read more

Problem with tampons is that I would bleed through them too quickly! Like in the time between boarding the flight and the seatbelt sign being turned on, easily. At least menstrual cups you can leave in longer, but just not long enough sometimes. So grateful for birth control so I will never have to experience that… Read more
I’ve been seeing the period swimsuits in insta and might get one for my kid for when she goes to camp. Anyone have experience with these swimsuits?
I use the underwear and like it, but only as a backup on heavier days - I have gone thinx-only and while it didn’t leak, after a couple hours I felt like I was wearing a damp diaper. Read more
I find it hard enough to use normal tampons, let alone a cup. I just can’t reach all the way down there easily. I have to put tampons in with the tips of my fingers.
I’m surprised to read this because I feel like all my friends only use the underwear now and are all on me to buy some. I had been buying tampons in bulk, tho, so I can’t rationalize buying something else until I run out.
I almost exclusively use a menstrual cup but I draw the line at airplanes. No way I’m dumping one of those in a airplane bathroom or risking bleeding all over the seat while the seatbelt sign is on during turbulence right when it hits capacity. I revert back to tampons if I’m heading to the airport on my period.
Love my menstrual cup. I got a bidet hose installed next to my toilet too so it’s so easy to dump, wash and shove back up there. Wash again. I never really need lube but I'm...ahem....roomy, so that makes it easier Would never consider going back to pads and languishing all day and night in a pool of my own sopping… Read more
What’s the problem with Tampons? And going back to the reusable clip in pads my mom and grandma had to use....? No.
Finally, some uplifting news.
Amy Coney Barrett is anti-IVF too.
The majority of Americans are having the insane rule of religious zealots that we didn’t vote for forced upon us.

Just like all the people screaming “women are the victims of abortion, no one wants to prosecute them!” and five minutes after the leaked opinion, state GOP legislators are trying to make abortion a capital offense. Read more
I know there’s only like five of us who read this site anymore, but if one of your friends tries to thread the needle of “good” abortions and “bad” abortions, please point them to this article.
I would love, just once, when these abjectly stupid arguments are presented, for a journalist or judge or whoever to just take a moment of silence, take a deep breath, and ask the person, “Do you think I’m stupid?” Read more
She recently wrote on Instagram that her father constantly criticized her body and called her “fat” when she was under his control. If posting nudes is her moving past him tearing her self-esteem down for years and learning to love her body, I’m all for it.
I haven’t looked at the pictures she posted but my immediate thought was “yeah, she’s been showing off her body for years - and why not?”. To be able to do so completely on your terms is probably pretty freeing for her. When the conservatorship was lifted, a lot of people noted that they hoped people understood that… Read more
What the Britney pearl-clutchers seem to be overlooking is that while she’s posted several nudes online, she doesn’t seem to be repeating any of the troubling behavior she exhibited just prior to the conservatorship. Frankly, she’s never been shy about showing off her body, hell, if I had her body I’d probably show it… Read more
Seriously. She wants to post nudes? Let her do that. She’s been under someone else’s thumb for years, just let her freak flag fly high.
