on the topic of periods, andy & i have been using menstrual cups for a few months now and it's been a great experience, highly recommend just general open thread biz, we were buying some kitchenwares stuff for our new flat (casserole dish, rolling pin, vegetable peeler, that sort of thing) and the guy at the checkout grinned and said "so which of you does the cooking?" i said "she does, haha" but andy's internal reply was apparently "both of us because we BOTH wear the PANTS i will FIGHT you to prove it" (flavour detail, he was over a foot taller than her) he then made some random joking comments when she messed up paying with her card, i think he was trying to be a 'cool guy' and an Ally but it just came across as weird and kind of creepy. later i was like "what gave it away??" apparently it was the denim shorts w hairy legs, purple flannel shirt, beanie, and 'just your face'

They do!! They make all kinds of thicknesses ranging from liners to heavy/postpartum! My favorite shop on etsy is momscrafts4u because she has super cute patterns and free shipping or at least in North America... But there's all kinds of great shops on etsy. There are tons of articles for use and care of cloth pads and I have my own advice since I've been using them for almost 6 months now. I get the concept of thinx underwear but they seem like too much for me I like the pads because theyre easier to transport and also you can get cute patterns on them. If you want to know anymore just hmu!

i take the depo shot and get no period, it's a beautiful thing Does that mess with your hormones? I only tried the pill once because I was tired of being in pain and bleeding, but it messed with my entire body and made everything even worse. Is a depo shot better? (I'm afraid of needles, but I'd take that over being on my period tbh.)

(I'm afraid of needles, but I'd take that over being on my period tbh.) i've had an IUD for like a year and a half and i LOVE it i don't get my period and haven't really noticed any hormone stuff (if anything i've been more consistent emotionally) i was on the pill for a few years before because i had HORRIBLE periods and i would always forget to take it and still got pretty bad periods although they were better than with no birth control at all. but i love my IUD! i am a little concerned though tbh i've been on some kind of hormonal birth control since i was 15 (i'm 21 now) and honestly never intend to get my period again like i just dont know what it will do to my body long term to be on a constant drip of hormones :/

My sis has been on the pill for about over a decade and she's fine so far. As far as I know, long-term hormone usage can provide some health risks, but your gynecologists should have told you about them. And it's only a probability, everyone reacts differently. Also thank you for the information!
