Period Drama

 

So I’ve had a bit of a long held interest in menstrual cups. In case you’re unfamiliar these are a rubber cup-shaped tampon alternative.

They’re weirdly controversial, and anecdotally not very popular among Irish women. We MAY be slightly more repressed than other nationalities.

I’ve come to terms with the fact I’ll have my period for the next twenty-ish years, so I have plenty of time to sample the finest in lady-hygiene.

I like the idea of minimising waste and something I can leave in for a full twelve hours, plus it just seems more natural than bleached cotton. It’s cheaper in the long run too.

So what’s holding me back here? I’ve browsed these products frequently, but never invested in one.

Is it the actual contact with my bodily fluids?

Is it the sheer size of the things?

Is it the idea of a vacum situation existing within the confines of my vagina?

What does everyone think? Would you try a menstrual cup ladies?

I’m doing it, I’m going to try one of these bad boys. I’ll report back ASAP.

VIVA LA PERIOD!

Oh Maaan…

 

Ok, so I did an annoying thing. If I knew someone who did this I’d be irritated. Prepare to be peeved.

I looked for advice and then I fully ignored it.

I texted Date Guy back.

Yeah, I don’t know why I did it! A guy who leaves you hanging for a fortnight after a date is NOT INTERESTED. I know this, I wasn’t even THAT into him. Why did I do this to myself!?

Its seriously bumming me out. I text him after 36 hours, then he left it 24 hours to get back to me, then I left it a scant hour (I was being the bigger man!) then he text me straight back. We said we’d have a coffee and I said the end of the week would suit me. Now its 8pm on Friday and guess what?

HE’S DONE IT TO ME AGAIN.

No text, no contact. That’s fine, because I was going to back out of it anyway. But we had a date! You’d think he’d have the manners to text me so I could reject him properly! It’s BASIC textiquette! UGH!

Anyway I think the lesson is if you seek advice, take it!

VIVA LA LIFE LESSONS!
