I need some lady support for something really stupid. Can someone help

queerkageyama replied to your post: I just wanted to add a thing about periods, but I...

Menstrual cups actually hold a lot more than tampons and depending on how heavy your flow is you might only need to change it once or twice a day. Wearing a pad is advised until you know how long you can go without changing it ^.^

I tried some and ended up spilling blood all over my hand when I took it out each time. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. But I’m always here to support the women it works well for. I know lot of women have found success with the cups.

I just wanted to add a thing about periods, but I don't have a large audience... Tampons/pads are not the only option, and they can cause irritation because of dryness. There is a reusable cup (mooncup), it collects the blood instead of absorbing it.

This is very true. There are reusable cups these days. I hear good things, but I’m still in that skeptical zone, or... I suppose I’m in the nervous zone. Like if it overflows, what about my pants at work, you know? But you’re right. I assume this is about the Ladies Edition of my In Case No One Told You post. I’ll be sure to go add that on. Thanks. :)

What “Nothing” Means on Her Birthday

Alright boys. You have all been there. You ask your girl what she wants for her birthday and she gives you that notorious answer: “nothing.” Men are logical creatures. Naturally, you feel like you’re off the hook when you hear that word. Oh buddy. That the farthest thing from the truth.  Your girl may not be materialistic. She may not want anything because she feels happy with everything she has. She may not even know what she wants. The last option is usually the case. That is when you have to go to work.

When your lady says that she wants “nothing.” In her mind, she is letting you run wild with whatever you want to do to celebrate her special day. Obviously, she doesn’t actually mean that she wants literally nothing from you. Trust me - that is the biggest mistake you’ll make this year. 

To her, “nothing” means a sweet night with maybe a movie and dinner. It could also mean a nice card with a handwritten note attached. It could just mean flowers and a foot rub. Most women are lovey creatures. This means that you really have to deliver in the romantic department. If not any other day of the year, you have to pull through on her birthday. 

Trust me when I say this. If you do pull through, there will no limit to the amount of love she will show you within the months going forward. Especially the days following her birthday. Trust me - you want what you will earn from her if you get her birthday right.

Trying to decide if I should cut my hair or leave it be... I don't really give myself time to do it anymore, so longer is better to just throw it in a shitty bun.. But I have a huge fat face, so I'd rather my hair be down..

Lady Advice #1

The one-off "meant to be relationship" is cmpletely attainable. Of course this does not happen the same for everyone. I waited until I found the most fitting mate for me before I decided to enter a relationship at all, ever. I refused to settle for less, and admittedly caused many broken hearts through rejection. Yet, I refused to settle for less and give my heart to anyone who did not deserve it. Yes, this is my first relationship. It will be my last. There is no "if all else fails". There is only the comittment and devotion that I have been saving up for years and years, ready to show to the one person who is deserving of my affections. Why is He so deserving? One word: Respect. So do not settle for less. Be fierce. Be demanding of professionalism. If someone makes you uncomfortable, assert yourself. When you find the one person who can offer you complete and total respect in every way, you will know. Until then, do not give the idiots the time of day. Never fear.

Thanks for the answers, Jen! Also, for tampons and pads what are your favorite brands/varieties? Finally, I was wondering if you ever had any embarrassing period stories? Thanks again.

no problem, cutie. okay um….i guess for pads i usually use always (the brand lol) or like stayfree i think and then for tampons, my favorite to use are playtex gentle glide. i definitely recommend using those for when you’re beginning to use tampons. or at least any other plastic applicator….cardboard ones are not fun. i’ve had too many embarrassing period stories oh my god. one time i got my period in the middle of class so you can probably guess why that would be particularly embarrassing
