That Time of the Month

[Artemis]

Ah...the "it's that time of the month so what do we do?" question. The messiness of it doesn't bother my Master (he loves blood :-[ ) but usually we avoid the mess due to the fact that his mother still does his laundry, which includes the sheets, and we'd rather avoid all the questions about what we do in bed. So...that leaves us with spanking (for me) and oral play (for him) which we love so it's not really a problem. I usually don't get cramps but I'm more sensitive to pain and more tired than usual which he takes into consideration when we play. Everyone's different though which the previous responses have already shown.

I used to get horrible cramps when my little red friend came to visit. For some reason, after I had my oldest son, they weren't as bad (or maybe I didn't notice it as much because I was too busy chasing him around.) After my second child I had my tubes tied (I don't want anymore, and my doctor told me any more might possibly be dangerous to my health, so he tied my tubes at 24)and after that, although I still get the occasional cramp, it's not the hot-water-bottle-in-bed-with-extra-strength-tylenol cramps I had before. And since it is messy, I'll give myself several enemas to clean myself out very thoroughly and hubby and I use the 'back door' or the mouth to pleasure ourselves with until Mrs. Happy's fully operational again. He loves my BJ's.

There's a lovely product on the market called Instead. It's vaguely diaphram-shaped, with a deeper cup. You insert it during your period, and it catches it instead of absorbing it. You take it out and empty it when you need to, which is up to half as often as a regular tampon. There have been no reported cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome for Instead users, and it's made of soft plastic, so no latex allergies. And you can have sex with it in, without making a mess! It's quite nice. I've been a convert for almost a year now, and it's great. The only drawbacks I've seen so far is that it's kind of gross when you're changing it, and that you can't tell in advance when you're about to 'spring a leak'. Other than that, it's great.

Okay. I gotta say it.

No offense, but eeewwwwww!!!

DITTO :That is a new one for me also... Damn that just sounds kinda nasty!

[Sulwen]

I know it sounds kinda gross, but once you get used to it, you'll never want to go back. *shrug* And it's the only one I know of that lets you have vaginal intercourse without mess during your period. At least, not *bad* mess. :-)

That wouldnt happen to be anything like the diva cup would it? I know a lot of people swear by them.

[mastercoyote]

This might send some of you running for the hills, screaming; but... you could probably sell the "results" for a decent price on eBay.

Just a (completely disgusting, even to myself) thought.

Kinda, but you can't have sex with the Diva cup in. Also, Instead are disposable.

I've had that one for some months now...And I certainly will never go back to using tampons and pads.
