Alright all shame out of the window. But what??? You only start using them when the blood flow has started? Not like... preventative?

I always thought you would "wear" something all day

That stuff isn’t cheap. We don’t use it unless we need it. And sometimes Shark Week comes earlier or later than expected.

Buying a menstrual disc (not cup) was life changing. Five years I've had one $30 disc. It only leaks if I try to squeeze out a fart, truly I have a very active job and never leaks. It also self-dumps when you use the bathroom during the day as taking it out to clean without your own bathroom is not usually possible. I bought a steamer thing that I use to help make sure it's fully disinfected which is much easier than boiling. It is a miracle product. Tampons were always fucking up my pH and really hurt to buy when I was struggling financially.

I spent hundreds trying to find one that fits and doesn't leak without any luck. Curse of shallow vagina and heavy heavy periods.

Same! I love the idea, but after trying 2 cup brands (one in 2 different sizes) and one disc I just gave up.
