I just stumbled onto this site that lets you read FREE ebooks of classic literature. This is a phenomenal site for studying or just reading for fun.

Seriously go read some books. I’ve only lightly browsed but I saw the Great Gatsby, Tom Sawyer and the collection of Sherlock Holmes stories as well as HUNDREDS of others
If you follow me and read my post since last year you may know that I obtained a menstrual cup some time ago. The truth is I haven’t got an occasion to try it… until now, thanks to quarantine.
I needed some time to prepare the cup and of course also prepare myself for trying it. Living in a dormitory was an obstacle for me to do it, so when I started bleeding on quarantine at home I though it was a appropriate day to insert my menstrual cup.
Quick backstory: I got my first period when I was turning 10, so according to my calculations I have used about 3360 menstrual pads till today (for almost 10 years). So continuing counting I will use at least 10080 more until I stop menstruating.
“Tampons, pads and panty liners along with their packaging and individual wrapping generate more than 200,000 tonnes of waste per year, and they all contain plastic – in fact, pads are around 90% plastic!” - OrganiCup
One pad decompose in about 500 to 800 years! And burning them causes highly toxic emissions. So please consider switching to more sustainable menstrual products as:
- Cloth pads (watch this video!)
- Cup
- Periodproof underwear
My first period with menstrual cup:
Day 1 | Although I tried doing this before, it didn’t work out then. “Take your time” - I said to myself and began putting in right place. The first day of wearing a cup wasn’t the most comfortable and I wore a pad due to the insurance. I found very little blood inside the cup in the evening, which surprised me.
Articles and videos that helped me at the first day:
- 7 Things No One Tells You About Using Menstrual Cups
- How to use a Menstrual Cup – In-depth Instructional Video
- First Time Using A MENSTRUAL CUP During A HEAVY Period - Sarah Therese - I love her channel!
- The truth about menstrual cups TMI WARNING | I tried the diva cup - I completely love the girl’s energy :D
Also what I found helpful was medical lubricant, but to be honest I used it only at the first day. I didn’t mention it before but if you want to know, my cup is from the brand calledPerfect Cup;)
Day 2 | I felt really comfortable after wearing a cup at night. Also I didn’t notice any leakage. Although I think the ring was irritating me sometimes.
Day 3 | Again I felt very comfortable all day. I think the cup’s size is appropriate for me.
(sanitizing my cup in hot water while taking shower)
Day 4 | My bottom stomach hurt a bit, I think I put my cup a little too deep. But I reinserted it and then it was okay. In the evening I noticed that the amount of blood inside the cup was low so I decided to take a break of it and try on a cloth pad I sew before.
Day 5 | I stopped bleeding and after wearing a cloth pad for a night I felt a lot more pleased then after using a disposable pad.
Summing up: I loved it from the very first day! The feeling of not having a blood flood inside my pants and having any skin irritation caused by the chemicals inside the disposable pads… Absolutely stunning! Now I feel like: everyone who is menstruating should try that!
Also I have a story here: when I got my cup, I showed it to my boyfriend and he loved it and started playing with it, but when I showed it to my (women) roommates they were like “yuuuck!” and the situation was really shocking for me, because before I hadn’t met anyone who would react that way on a cup…
I’ve also asked some other people what they think about menstrual cups.
- “They are problematic and embarrassing in public toilets.”
- “I’m afraid I can stain something while putting it out.”
- “They are cool. Someday I’ll buy one!”
- “At least you don’t waste money on tampons and pads.”
- “I think it is a good way to reduce your waste.”
- “They seem to be more comfortable than tampons.”
- “In my point of view they aren’t made for me, but I’m not sure, because it seems to be better and more comfortable solution.”
And what is your opinion about menstrual cups?
I will finish with mentioning that there is nothing to be ashamed with talking about your period or using a menstrual cup! Love your body and accept everything about it! You are beautiful and worthy! ♥ ♥ ♥
