[quote=Anonymous]46 here, and have used everything and am just riding out the next few years without commitment to anything.

Pads as a teen because “is it true I won’t be a virgin if I use tampons??”

Tampons as a late teen, birth control in my early 20s meant periods so light I didn’t need anything.

Babies in my forties and no more hormonal birth control meant much heavier periods. Had to go back to tampons because I sure wasn’t going to use pads.

Got the idea to try cups around age 40. Bought no less than ten different sizes/brands and had outrageous leaking with all. Read every Internet forum, and watched every YouTube and finally decided my body must not work with cups. Tried a disc instead - works pretty great!!

But….. the once a day I pull it out….. totally bloodbath. Blood up the walls, all over my hands, all over the toilet seat. Have tried so many ways to avoid it, but something about the suction coming out means it bursts everywhere. Have often thought: what would I have done as a 25 year old working ten hours a day in an office??? Now I work from home so it’s no big deal.

But last year I got a totally out of left field kidney infection. No uti. Best guess is a dislodged disc caused it. It was so scary. I’ve been a lot more nervous to use the cup and have been wavering between tampons (when I leave the house) and thinx. Feels weird still for blood to just come out. Again, couldn’t do that if I were in an office. Dogs in the neighborhood circle me like a shark no lying. [/quote]
