This might be weird but my insomnia is getting a lot worse before and during my periods lately and I don't know if it's covid weirdness or an exciting new developement as inch on in my 30s. I'm getting about 4 hours a night in the immediate before and during my period, and then I crash hard immediately after.

Now I’m going to go look up what organic tampons are made of. I’m imagining its from the same things expensive cat litter is made of. Corn husks, pine, recycled newspapers.

I bought two menstrual cups, one of which size, and I couldn't get either of them in there.

It took a lot of work for me. And the stem was abrasive somehow. I tried a few different brands of menstrual cup. Think I’m just not built right for them.


Also, I seem to have narcolepsy right before my period. And I get real stupid. I take adderal, but it doesn’t help as much as one would expect right before my period.

I also get insomnia before my period but fairly mild compared to how I had it in the past. I used to get insomnia real bad, bouts of it lasting a week at least twice a month before I was pregnant but after it's no longer been a issue. The thing was I that I wasn't getting my period because of the IUD, but who knows what my hormones were actually doing. It's a hormone thing I think, being pregnant did a hard reset on hormones in a lot of ways.

In biology class the female teacher was describing human ovulation and said you can't feel it. About half the girls in class said "yeah we can" LOL. She'd never heard of it before that.

Anyway, if it's any consolation that pain might go away. I could feel it as a teen but it went away in my 20s or 30s sometime. Then again it could also get worse, because being a woman is an awesome adventure.

your teacher hadn't heard of mittelschmertz?

Anyway it's not going away, I'm almost 40. Actually I have ovarian cysts on the side that hurts so I assume that's what the pain is. I had CT scan a few years ago for a different reason and they were like "hey did you know you had ovarian cysts in your left ovary" and I was like OH I'M AWARE.

I tried the June cup. worked great until I was at work (a lot of bending and lifting) and apparently it didn't hold the best seal. Middle of my shift with totally wet underwear. In August, 115* and outside work. Was a blast. Back to pads then.


The last time or two (and perhaps it's just the stress of the year) I have been super loving cry-mood the week before and of said blood march. Which doubly sucks because usually the week before I just get super into porn and taking care of business. Nothing ruins that mood more than bawling for no loving reason.


I still remember my first period: I had had the talk years before, was laying in bed reading a book, and felt something weird, like I had peed myself. Got up, and there was a little spot of blood on the bed. Went to bathroom, did a wipe, realized what happened, put a pad in my underwear, cleaned up the mess, and was back to reading like 10 minutes later. I think I was 15?

My mom got hers when she was loving 8.

No, sealing it all off is fine because if it's sealed it's sterile.
From the rant in the third picture:
"With Mensez seals in the blood and fluids, they are sterile as long as they are inside the body and all the grossness is from the leakage into undergarments, the drying effects of air and the bacteria contamination that comes along with inserting tampon plugs and pads."

The vagina: famously bacteria free.

Look ladies he knows what he's talking about he's a chiropractor.



https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mensez/

quote:

Q: Can people actually order this [product], or is it still in the testing and funding stage?

A: Mensez is not available. It an idea, with a patent a month ago, I am in the funding stage. Then there will need to be substantial development and testing and regulation approval.

Q: What response are you getting from the women who have used it?

No one has used it. I do not have the final formulation or certification. When that happens it will be done by licensed professionals.

Q: Some might question your qualifications because you are a Chiropractor and not an OB/GYN … How would you respond to those concerns?

A: Those people believe that a person is not allowed to think outside of their little box or specialty. Yet they know that innovation comes from thinking outside the box … I always ask, why and I do think outside of box. I like to connect the dots between boxes.

I do not practice obstetrics, but in my Chiropractic degree I had classes in Obstetrics and Gynecology and I did passed my national board exams in them. I do know the anatomy and physiology.

Q: How long does an application of Mensez lipstick last?

A: It will last until it comes in contact with urine, or soap and water.

It doesn't exist and there is no formula, but he knows it will work.

quote:

Q: How does it affect the delicate ecosystem of flora and PH balance of a woman’s vagina?

A: I don’t see that there will be any negative affect on that, if anything it will only improve.

The PH is from natural secretions.

There is no air exchange with the blood, which can alter the PH, cause odors and promote bacterial growth

There are no potentially bacteria and chemical contaminated tampons being inserted.

The irritations from the absorbent materials is gone. Irritations increases your risk of infection.

Mensez is an ELEGANT AND HEALTHY Idea

The PH in the vagina is 3.5-4.5, we are not changing that. The PH of urine is 6.5-8, and the difference between the two PH’s is one thing that helps to dissolve the Mensez seal. It’s natural.

Q: Please take me back to the first clinical trials and how you were able to get women to try this, because messing around down there can be a little scary?

A: There have not been any clinical trials.

Probable 20 % of the emails that I have gotten are women volunteering to test it.

I personally have no interest in doing that.

Q: So Mensez Lipstick seals the lips shut when a woman is on her period… and the menstrual blood just collects in the vagina waiting to drain? Is that how it works?

A: Yes, the menstrual blood collects in the vagina the same location that a tampon collects it.

The labia like all mucus membranes naturally want to stick together, it’s a very weak attraction and Mensez only increases that attraction between the labia. It’s made of a combination of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and oil. It is not a glue as so many have been calling it. The seal that is created is strong enough to prevent leakage until it comes in contact with urine. A woman will not feel sensation of stretching or hair pulling with her normal activity.

Q: There might also be some concerns that a man designed this for women … how have you battled those concerns?

A: I have done very poorly, it’s tough to communicating, it is so taboo, and guys are not allowed to an opinion about periods



Of course this was all years ago. Does it exist yet? No. But there is a website. http://www.mensez.com/

quote:

Do you realize that your eyes produce 5-10 fluid ounces of tears per day, it’s like a water fall on your face. and yet normally it does not run down your face it is controlled by the wonderful and marvelous design of your body.

Your nose produces about 16 fluid ounces of mucus per day and your nose is upside down and yet it does not normally run down your face it to is controlled by the wonderful and marvelous design of your body.

Your mouth produces 15 - 48 fluid ounces of saliva per day and yet it does not normally run down your face, it is controlled by the wonderfully and marvelous design of your body.

The average period produces about 1 fluid once of fluid during the entire 7 days and women have been told that it is normal for it to run down your leg and soil your clothing, The female reproductive system is the most wonderfully and marvelous parts of human anatomy and yet women are told that it is normal for secretions to bleed through and run out, that absorbent material are the only option for women.

I wonder where he got that 1 ounce figure. Most menstrual cups hold about 1 ounce, and I fill that thing up more than once a week.

I just googled that and it works out as about 2 super tampons worth and gently caress you mensez guy, , I can go through one of those every 1-2 hours for a full 18 hours on Big Day. I am so happy when my period begins late at night because I know it'll take about 8 hours to get to full-on crazy mode and I prefer to have that happen when I'm awake, for obvious reasons.
