Lebanese Products





Well they are the same as in America... but like most foreign countries, they dont use any, or very little, packaging. some even give free gifts. they also have chlorine free and organic versions but i was able to get any pictures.

Hopscotch yankin' Leap-Frog's cup tab.

Our friend Leap-Frog told us this really funny story about this guy, Hopscotch, who has this huge crush on her:

Leap-Frog's friend Bead was telling Hopscotch and their other friend Leaf about the diva cup, because, as you already know, we like to tell as many people as we can about these alternative products, after Bead told the two boys about the cup and how awkward it is when you pull it out because it is hard and can easily fall or splatter blood all over. In response to hearing this, Hopscotch told Leaf and Bead that he would pull a cup out of Leap-Frog any day.

and we thought Hopscotch was awkward before saying this...

that's just a little too alternative for me!

awful...

So this was a very tramatic cycle! after the natural history museum accident, everything was fine, for a day! i guess the sponge just ran its course but i really thought that it would hold out through this cycle. the same thing that happened at the museum happened in my bathroom! the sponge just leaked out everywhere! i ended up just throwing it away and used the cup for the last three days. I guess i had a heavier than usual flow because i stopped using the nuvaring bc. uuuuugggghhhhh! misery! i felt really sick and gross and the smell of blood was haunting me for the rest of the time i was on my period! uuuuggghhh!

p.s.

i think its funny how the sponge provides so much more entertainment than a pad or tampon

The Museum of Natural Blood Gushing EVERYWHERE!!!!

Today i went to the museum of natural history (my favorite museum ever!) and the very first thing i did was search for the bathroom. i had to pee sooo badly! after peeing i kept hearing squishing noises coming from my sponge. i thought "wtf! did it absorb my pee?" i had no way of washing it cause there was a long line and i wouldnt be able to wash it out and then go right back into the stall. so i thought it would be a really good idea to squeeze it out and then put it back in.. kind of like the how you can pour out the cup... but no. that doesnt work with the sponge. so i pull it out and it was sooo full!!!! i didnt even know i could bleed that much! it was leaking out EVERYWHERE!!!! it got on the toilet seat, all over my hands (dripping down my hand!!!), ridiculous! so i wrapped it up in toilet paper and it leaked through that so i kept wrapping it and it kept leaking through!! it was such a mess! and there was a whole line of women waiting for the bathroom. (thankfully there were two other stalls) it was like a movie! it was insanity!  this sponge is at it's last cycle. its sad but it just isnt doing it anymore. what a wreck! its funny to think about it now but at the time i'm sure my face was bright red!
