Everyone is raving about their cups so I was determined to get one but cursory research showed this is actually a lot of work - you need to learn how to use it and pick just the right one, you need a sanitary place where to empty it (yes, I can wash my hands but if I have to use a public stall and touch my outside clothes before I get to the cup, this doesn’t help me much), you need to spend time thoroughly sterilizing it every cycle, which is way more trouble then it’s worth for me. I am using pads, I have absolutely zero problem with them except the environmental aspect of it, pads are comfortable, easy to replace, have next to no potential for any health risks due to being on the outside of the body, I never have any issues with leakage or odors or them feeling bulky or chafing that I know is some people’s experience. I can wait a few days if I need to swim. I can see how happy people are with their cups and I WANT to try them, but I literally don’t understand what I’ll be getting out of this experience at this point.

Happy to be convinced otherwise if I am missing something here!

P.S. I was curious about the cups and placed my order but then cancelled it because I was prepared for the steep learning curve but not for the boiling part. I don’t like the steamer option and I think boiling thoroughly is the best approach but just watching over the pot with the whisk and all, that’s just a little much. (And also either way, that means I have to pay even more just to try it.)

Tried to sell them, had a bad time (I sold some of my unneeded items before and it's never been as unpleasant as with this luxury brand), decided I'd rather keep the necklaces and threw out the pretty brand packaging and took down the listings.

Now I feel guilty about keeping the necklaces even though they are super tiny (all I could afford lol) and the boxes and the packaging were taking up 99% of the space. I honestly think I was trying to sell the necklaces out of guilt about the bad financial decision of buying them in the first place.

Was answering someone and decided to share as a post because this has helped me a lot - the clothes that is either not suitable for resale or donation, or I just don’t want to give it to someone else for some reason, I cut into pieces and use them as rags. Within reason, of course, as it doesn’t make sense to keep mountains of it, but I have a drawer with these rags and use them when I don’t want to clean up the cleaning equipment after. For example, something spills and it’s tough to clean, I don’t use a mop or a vacuum because I’d have to clean them out multiple times. I use one of the rags. Even wet them and wipe the dust sometimes. It’s nice to be able to just throw it out instead of having to wash it. And this way I feel like old clothes has its one final use.
