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.
Oh dear. I'll spell it out more plainly for you next time. Apologies.
Bless her heart.0 -

Best. Thread. Ever.
Updated to say I will most likely NOT have an end after the Novasure procedure but I'm willing, at this point, to try anything short of a hysterectomy.
As you were

a menstrual cup. For at least a century, people have tried to sell the idea of a cup that fits inside the vagina and catches menstrual flow. Remove, empty, rinse, reinsert. It has the great virtues of a tampon (inside the body) without the Toxic Cotton of Death problem. It's reusable, which gladdens the hearts of frugal women and environmentalists, and means no need to carry extra anything.WTF is a divacup???? I am way too scared to google it!
With that said, I have no desire to ever put it to the test. I would rather use toilet paper, haha...But to each his own I guess.0 -

Oh gosh, don't be scared! It's a great invention! It's a silicone "cup" that is an alternative to pads/tampons. Inserted kind of like a tampon, it "collects" instead of absorbs, and a couple times a day you empty it. Seriously, not scary at all.

I've been using mine for years and love it. I also love not wasting money on pads and tampons. PM me if you have questions, I'm happy to answer them!0 -

1. "TOM" takes less letters to type.
2. We're women. We share.
3. "period" is also a euphemism
4. Isnt there a thread discussing exercise calories?? *leaving*
Now you are my kinda girl! mwahhh!0 -

I was waiting for someone to say this! I heard this on MFP a few weeks ago, and loved it!
For the people doing the TP debate: We were told as kids that if we didn't have a female product with us, to wrap TP around our underwear or roll some up to use a tampon.. so they do have that usage.. and yes you have to use a lot
To OP:
Amen! I'm tired of seeing debates about TOM and this and that. I got so sick of him that I went on the pill.. and that was the end of that.0 -
I will not be pm'ing anyone to discuss period paraphernalia.
That is all.0 -
The thought of emptying a diva cup makes me want to projectile vomit, for reals.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!
Thank you!0 -

You can sell your used tampons to vampires. They use them as tea bags.
Ok so my Boss is giving me the evil eye because (he doesn't realise why...) I have tears rolling down my cheeks from laughing at this thread. Anyhoo, this one takes the cake 0 -

I second this. Cups are the 2nd best invention ever, Mirena being the 1st

We must keep people aware of it.
Until there is a cure.
I thought I'd found the cure - menopause, but then the damn thing comes back to haunt me!0 -
how not to do it.0 -
I'm suddenly reminded of George Carlin in "Carlin at Carnegie" (1983): "On the rag, flying the flag, riding the cotton pony!" :laugh:
I'm one of those "lucky" ones who hit menopause last year at age 40, so I'm all done. Woot!0 -
My husband prefers, "Shark Week."0

Good sweet FSM, this is my favourite thread in a good long time. Can we keep it? Can we can we can we???0

Liverpool playing at home?
Rebooting the Ovarian Operating System?
Really...it happens to several billion people every month. It's hardly a secret
As for the temper that goes with it...
"Least provocation
Whilst menstruating on July 18th 2000, Susan Turpin of Leeds (GB) discovered her husband, James, had placed a spoon the wrong way round in the cutlery drawer after washing the dishes. Accusing him of being 'thoughtless and selfish' she burst into tears, attempted to stab him with a breadknife and moved in with her mother for a week."
"Shortest fuse
The record for the quickest a woman has flown into a tammy huff was set on April 24th 1978 by Tina Wren of Arbroath (GB). Returning from an 18 hour nightshift as a security guard, her husband Alan began to ask if she would like a cup of tea. One fiftieth of a second (0.02 sec) after opening his mouth, he was hit full in the face with a frying pan."0 -
you could always just call it "Bloody va-jay-jay time".
HAHAHAHA :laugh:0
