When I was a teen, I’d know that my period was coming when I started jonesing for pistachio ice cream.

My new menstrual cup arrived I'm pretty excited for the next cycle! I think I did a bad job taking care of the old one so here's to proper cup maintenance in 2022

Oh good. My period is going to start the day of my 15hr cross-country drive. Packing and moving has already been emotional, I don’t need that on top of it, ugh!

Insane smelling power strikes again. Today, I was fortunate enough to be able to identify that one of my male family members hadn't wiped enough after peeing. Yes, I could detect pee (specifically male pee) from 20 feet. This is a gross, gross power to have. I wonder if the scent-detecting superpower feeds into the fear nearly everyone has that other people can smell your period, even though hardly anyone has ever detected anyones else's period by scent. I know I haven't.

I hear it is stored in the balls, but whoever I squeeze one no pee shoots out and also I'm not allowed in that proctology clinic anymore.

Brunch: steamed garlic salmon with mixed veggies, the blue flavor of bootleg Fruitopia Dinner: sausage egg & cheese wrap from Dunkin Donuts, large mocha latte This is definitely right. edit: I am not an especially emotional period-haver, but it seems like all the Michael/Holly -- aka, the only good sitcom couple in the history of television -- episodes of The Office come on when I'm in the throes of the second-day flood.

Period is due in a little over a week. How can I tell? Yesterday I had 5 eggs with hatch chili sauce on them, about 25 peanut butter pretzel bites, about 10 ginger candies, three apples, 30 or 40 more peanut butter pretzels, liver dumpling soup, a huge order of sauerbraten with spaetzle and red cabbage, some of my husband’s frikkadellen, and then 20 or so more ginger candies. By ginger candies, I mean large pieces of candied (NOT crystallized) ginger, many of them half the size of my thumb. Ovulating just makes me so hungry. FE: I may or may not have eaten a 3x1 inch brick of chicken liver pâté on toast, can’t remember if that was yesterday or the day before. Either way, my menstrual cycle plus the fact that my husband works in specialty foods is gonna give me mad gout.

What are the options for menstrual cups these days? The one I'd been using for a long time finally had to get binned and the backup one I've never used is super stiff by comparison. I honestly don't remember what brand they were, I think it was a special "pay just for shipping" deal. I'm also wondering if I shouldn't try the reusable liners or something for the really spotty days when it's more hassle than I'd like to even use a cup. I haven't done any research there at all.

Plenty o’ options, but not all stores sell all brands. I’ve heard this quiz will tell you which cup is best-suited for you, though I bought the first cup I came across at CVS (Flex Slim) and it’s worked out just fine for the most part (there have been a few times when I either didn’t line things up properly or didn’t thread the “stopper” firmly). I’ve started using a reusable disc on days where I feel like using a cup is overkill, but don’t want to wear a pad. Maybe that would work for you too?

I've been using Meluna for ages, they have some nice deals so if you aren't certain of the size/stiffness you want you can usually get a couple for a good price. I don't see the point in using anything but a cup even when spotting, it's reusable so it's not like it matters that it's overkill. I guess if it hurts to take out and put back in?

I have a couple Meluna, and even though they aren't perfect for me, I did love that because the first one didn't work well (too long for me), they sent me a hefty discount code to buy a second, different sized one that is much much better. Their website also sells period panties, which if you can stomach the cost, might be a good option on spotty days. I've tried them out overnight since I have issues with my cups leaking at night, and liked them quite a bit so far. Doesn't feel anything like wearing a pad to me.

Bitch-rear end period snuck up on me today three days early and I found out while trying to wrangle my toddler in a department store toilet stall. "Mama what's that?" "It's a pad, I use it to catch the blood that comes out my uterus. It's where you used to live, remember?" "Yeah!" I'm not going to have him be squicky about periods at least.

They are a bit annoying because they have only snap fastener to keep them in place, so they shift quite a lot. Also they are kinda thick. Probably gonna invest in a few pairs of period panties at some point.

Periods keep sneaking up on me, and I have no excuse for being caught out. I literally got the first period of 2022 on the first of January, but I keep being surprised when the next one shows up 25ish days later. They are regular. I am not.

I also use a Meluna and really like it (or did, still don't have my period postpartum so who knows how that'll change if at all). I do prefer the Meluna soft, which they don't sell on their US site so I have to order it on the German one.

The period decided to start a day late on the road trip. It also decided to skip the first, easy day, and jump to day 2 of hell cramps and heavy flow. Thanks uterus!

Finally had a doctor believe me when I said I get way more hosed up than is socially acceptable when pmsing and I'm on sertraline during the PM part of the cycle. Trying to figure out medications for anxiety, adhd, and depressive episodes is a god loving drat nightmare. Especially when I'm working with an overworked nurse practitioner who can issue meds but no therapist. It feels like spackling a hole the size of my torso.
