Ive been wearing menstrual cups for at least 5 years now but I usually alternate between pads and cup and just use pads toward the end of cycle. My favorite thing about them is not having to check up on it as often as paper period products.

Well today I’m wearing it on day 6 & my vulva felt kinda weird and itchy (0 chance of stds not sexually active) so I removed the cup and there was no menstrual blood whatsoever there was just a little clear liquid inside which I’ve never had before because I typically don’t wear the cup through the end of the cycle.

Trying to figure out if

1. the irritation was my body’s way of saying “hey I’m done remove the cup”
2. a reaction to the silicone (which I’ve never had previously). Or
3. something entirely different lmao.

If it is #1 that’s awesome! Vaginas are so cool! Anyone else experienced anything similar?

That’s the tweet lmao. I felt disrespected but I also have pretty much 0 hospital experience & they’re willing to train, but wtf I’m 3 years into the field (worked peds outpatient, schools & skilled nursing so far) Midwest for context, but yeah I’m irritated

Has anyone worked for
- expressable
- speech partners
- huddle up
Tell me more about it if so!

Im a 26 year old caretaker for my grandparents. I moved to the Midwest from the east coast to help out. In some ways I feel lucky bc im living rent free & my grandma can still drive and do a few things for herself & for my grandpa. But I moved out to the country for them and im a city girl. For the most part im grateful things aren’t worse, but I keep thinking about how im not living a life that I actually enjoy. My days are kinda based on what they need. I work part time so I have time away but I have no friends here & I feel like a total black sheep in this town. I try to reframe every time I have negative feelings, but this feels like an endless sentence. They keep saying I can leave anytime I need to (like taking my next step in life) but things are not going to improve so idk what the future holds.
