[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Do you then poo with the cup in if it’s staying 12 hours? How does it not unsuction when you bend down or pick things up? I saw a video of one that unhooks on the toilet apparently?! [/quote]

Wait. Hold. Rewind. WHAT?!?!

There are different holes down there and they are not connected. 👀

Does a tampon shoot out when you bend down or pick things up?

What in the world is on a cup OR a toilet that would hook together?

Honestly we have to do better as women. We can't demand the medical community treat us better if we don't take the time to know our bodies. Use pads, used tampons, use cups but at least know your body. [/quote]

Op here. It’s called autodumping. There’s a few brands including one who make advertisement videos that show when you sit to urinate their disk auto empties. Thus sometimes people experience their discs auto dumping at the wrong time.

Apparently a lot of me steal discs do the same:

This. And to the PP who was lecturing everyone on how women need to learn how bodies work -- please understand that everyone's body works a little differently. People all have slight variations in anatomy that can really alter the experience of using any method that involves insertion. Plus on top of that people have widely varying flows and duration of their period. And this is before you add in the experience of some women with cramping or tenderness and sensitivity while on their periods. So just for instance:

It is normal for my tampon to come out on it's own while I'm pooping. So I think asking if this happens with a cup that will be full of menstrual blood is totally reasonable. Same with asking if it moves around or becomes dislodged at odd times -- especially for women who have given birth and have weak pelvic floors this is a totally legitimate concern. And the issue with discs autodumping when not intended is of course reasonable to ask about -- no one wants 4-12 hours of menstrual blood suddenly autodumping into their underwear without warning. Even if you were wearing period underwear that could be incredibly messy and potentially very embarrassing.

Perhaps instead of lecturing people on knowing their bodies you could TRUST women to know their own bodies and actually listen to their questions and concerns instead of dismissing them as stupid or uniformed. For women over 40 cups and discs came around long after we'd been menstruating for a long time and for many of us they weren't even widely available until after we'd had children which changes anatomy in ways that makes me gravitate more towards absorbent and reliable period methods. Cups and disks just don't make sense for me. I'm happy for others to use one though.[/quote]
