TP? Who uses TP? Yuck!
I'd love to hear what you use in place of toilet paper *waits*0 -
I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice.
muaaahaaahaaaa...puts a visual to the joke about how a woman can bleed for a week and not be dead, though sometimes I wish I were after that lovely week has come and gone!0 -
Don't the eggs need to be painted white first? With the cork, no egg painting gets accomplished.
Well yeah, the man 'corks' the baby inside as you've put it, preventing it from leaving the womb during a period, and allowing it to fully mature for nine months - at which point it's strong enough to break free.
No no no, with the cork there, the man can't put it in. No eggs are painted and no bleeding.
I fear you have your biology incorrect there, sir. The cork, also known as the cervical waxium plug, is formed when the male and female join in intercourse, and acts as the food source for the child until it reaches maturity and breaks the remaining shell.0 -
I'm not quite sure why people are annoyed by other peoples conversations about their TOM or period or whatever the hell we want to call it...if YOU don't want to read about it then DON't click on the thread and if you see that is where the topic is leading then STOP reading it!0

Just gonna be honest, here. When I first joined MFP, like so many, I did not know what TOM was. Once it dawned on me, I became annoyed by those who felt compelled to share with me each month the blow by blow of their cycle...pms/headaches/cramps/backaches, on and on, and of course along with that the need to eat everything in their way and lay down and cry for a week...PLEASE.
get off your *kitten*, and go to the gym. Take a hot shower, you will feel better, promise. Just be quiet. Suck it up, cupcake. DEAL with it.

mmm...cupcake.

I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about a literal cork out of a wine bottle. Sorry for the confusion.Don't the eggs need to be painted white first? With the cork, no egg painting gets accomplished.

Yeah, well.........good luck with that..........I had it done 2 and a half years ago and Uncle Red, Aunt flow, Momma Nature, and all the other lovely family members we hate to come see us decided to stop in for a 5 day visit last month. :devil:I'm having endometrial abliation on the 22nd. My period, TOM, mensus, Aunt Flow, period, on the rag time is about to end.
Mwahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaah haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! TAKE THAT!0 -

I don't think cork means what you think it means in this thread.0 -

That's what I'd recommend!0 -
lolPlease? I think the guys can handle it.
Please!!!!!!
I find the term TOM insulting to us guys called Tom. :laugh:0 -

Ah, I see. Just had to check. Sex education is so poorly taught in school these days.0 -

I know nothing about sex. I'm a virgin. And that's the truth.0 -
Ok then perhaps us men should start up threads to discuss the intricacies of ball itch and how that ties into fromunda situations.0

Oh yeah..........how about them Vikings????? Dodgers? Chargers? Diamondbacks, perhaps? :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0

You say "these days" like it was EVER adequately taught in the first place...lol0 -
I certainly do NOT use toilet paper to absorb menstrual blood. There is plenty of other "period paraphernalia" available: tampons, maxi pads, Instead, DivaCup, even reusable sponges (ew). But toilet paper as a menstrual product, no way!
TP? Who uses TP? Yuck!
I'd love to hear what you use in place of toilet paper *waits*0 -

Period paraphenalia ...that makes me think of a bong filled with blood. :drinker:0 -

And yet, you probably go through a lot more TP when you're menstruating than otherwise. Where you made the logical leap that anyone would substitute traditional sanitary products with TP is beyond me.0 -

You can sell your used tampons to vampires. They use them as tea bags.0

(actually when you use divacups - or other brands of cups - you generally don't use any more tp than usual. just an fyi. and a quick plug for cups: they are AWESOME!!!!! changed my life when i started using mine.)0 -
I promise you that if I ever had to post about my period, I'd call it my period. But please, please, let's all just stop posting about our periods!
^ This.0 -
You're the one who lumped TP in with tampons and other sanitary items, not me. And no, I don't believe I use any more TP during that week than any other week.

Before I evolved into the non-menstruating wonder that I am today, I used to pee ALL the time during menses0 -

Or as vampiric Snus... Just park it between your gum and cheek.0 -

Oh dear. I'll spell it out more plainly for you next time. Apologies.0 -
Ladies, can I ask one more question... oops I just asked a question... sorry to waste your time0
