Where were these things 20 years ago??????

I have just completed my first cycle with a menstrual cup. I must admit that I found it very easy, much easier than I expected. When I first got my period 25 years ago, I was given pads. I never liked them and always had a heavy flow; I was to find out 15 years later that it was endometriosis. My periods from the ages of 11-26 would last between 9 ( Read more... )

Oh god, your mom sounds so much like my mom that it hurts. Glad to see you found your way here, though :D

I'm glad I found this community too. I thought my mom was unique, I wonder what she'd think of menstrual cups. Probably better for me if we don't even go there.

Awesome! Glad it went so well for you!
I love my small Lunette, I wish I'd found out about them years ago too!

Yeah, I feel so good that my money is no longer going to Procter and Gamble anymore. They are one of the worst companies going around for animal testng. I guess I have about 20 years to make up for it now, better late than never.

Okay, now I'm curious! Is the bokashi composting system... in the bathroom?

No, my bokashi system lives outside. It's only a short walk from my bathroom though.

I know what you mean about wishing I had these in the past... Could have solved sooooooooo many problems for me. I have many horror stories about being caught by surprise with no supplies. Either because my cycle was early, or because I was totally BROKE and out of supplies, lol.
