Maybe this would be Paris Hilton;s cup....
found a very pink cup... click the title.. reminded me of our paris hilton joke!
invader Zim and Hell cramps
i'm sure you all know how much i love my sponge! the only problem is that it does not have super insane staying power!
i am sitting at the hospital pulling an all-nighter for my new summer job and would love nothing more than to be wearing my sponge right now. but since i do not have the facilites to wash my sponge out when it gets full, i am wearing my Lunette cup. I do love the cup's staying power but i hate that it pushes on my bladder making me feel like 1) i have to constantly pee, and 2) like i have a bladder infection because i constantly have to pee. when i finally go home (in about 6hours) i will have a cup full of blood! i dont think i have worn the cup for this long of a period of time before (it has been in since around 8:30pm and will be out around 8:30-9am). maybe i have during a long day at school but i doubt it because the tab was really painful and i took the cup out often. but now that i dont have the tab anymore i am good to go all night!
on another fun period topic....
this was the first period i have had since going off birth control where i had insanely painful hellish cramps like what i used to get before bc. I felt insanely hot, i thought i was going to throw up and pass out, and i was in excruciating pain. i think this means that all of the bc toxins are out of my body! my face is also clearing up! i have started using Jade & Pearl's Mystic moon tonic herbal tinctures- it is to bring coordination to the menstrual cycle, to alleviate cramps, reduce or eliminate PMS and menopausal symptoms. It promotes clear skin and reproductive health. i think that is helping because the cramps only lasted the first day. i gave in and took advil- which, if you know me, is a really really big deal since i dont like to put that kind of poison in my body. but it has been pretty chill so thats good. i dont know how long it will last so that will be a nice (or maybe not so nice) surprise.

Soft Tamps....
look like pink marshmallows! i dont really understand the point of them- espc since they say they are to replace using a sea sponge but i think they are one time use only which defeats the purpose of the multi-cycle use of the sponge... anyway click title to check it out

MeLuna Cup
LOOK AT THE COLORS OF THESE CUPS! I WANT A GREEN ONE!
in class once we joked about paris hilton having a cup that would be pink and blinged out! (this would be the company to do it!) how fun! its not like i really need a new cup or anything seeing that i have two already... maybe i should start collecting and i can have a cup for every day of the week or one for every cycle of the year! (i also wouldnt need to buy menstrual products for the rest of my life x2)

Mold
So i think my sea sponges became moldy on their trip from the supplier to me... it's smell reminded me of my jr year roommate's moldy towel! i'm so upset! thank goodness i finally got the cup to fit me and not hurt (i cut the tab off) i forgot to order more tea tree oil so i wasnt able to use my sponge this last cycle (MY FIRST ONE WITHOUT BIRTH CONTROL IN LIKE 4 YEARS!!!) so i cut the tab and used the luna cup cause the diva cup and my vag dont get along. it was a happy period (and i didnt even need Always products!)!
I am happy to report that another friend of mine got herself a diva cup! Way to go Slush!!

(i have never encountered a moldy sea sponge before... so it may or may not be mold... it is just my opinion and i thought it was funny and reminiscent of the moldy towel. i just purchased new sponges and cant wait to try out the regular size!)

The story of Instead: better for You still bad for the Earth
I may have posted up pics of this before but i am always in shock that my CVS carries this and not more eco conscious products... they are better for your body cause it collect the blood like a cup but you dispose of it like a tampon or pad... so its good for you bad for the earth.
and as always... i looooove having my sister (if only for blog entertainment)
also.... just because its funny... open the supply cabinet and fiiiiind......

Really Ladies?
I saw a tampon wrapper in the toilet at school the other day and couldn't believe it! especially after i tried to flush it and it popped out to reveal a tampon applicator inside.... there was a menstrual product trash right next to the toilet. idiot....
