Day 5

So today was good. i really enjoy using the cup. i know i have said it before but i really like it. the tab is, again, bothering me and i am really worried. i did remember that my gyno said that i have a very short vaginal canal so i guess that has something to do with it. I am afraid to cut the tab because i don't want to mess up the cup. It doesn't hurt to pull it out or put it in. just the tab is uncomfortable. i wonder what it will feel like when i can start to wear thongs again. the doctor said another week and i can but i wont have my period anymore. i guess i will just have to wait until i get my period in december when i will use the cup again. (november is the sponge). the tab is causing a bump and i am really worried because i already have an infection (not and STI/STD.. i got a cut and it got infected... its gross and painful..)  and i don't want the infection to get worse. and the bump also causes more pain and discomfort. 

Seeing the blood at the bottom of the cup is like the most amazing thing to me. i like to look at it. i know that sounds weird but try the cup and you will understand (i hope). 

i also really like the security of the cup. i know that it isn't leaking or slipping out. which is amazing because when i would wear tampons that was always a worry! also i love the "environmentally friendly" aspect of using the cup. especially after watching the video in class where these two women went to a sewage plant and there were so many pads, tampons and applicators that couldn't be broken down! it was insane! so i am glad to know i am doing my part now. 

I will figure out some way for it to not be uncomfortable. i tried to twist the tab but it didn't work.. maybe i should file down the ridges... hmm... i'll look into that.
