Hi! For context, my parents divorced when I was about 8 years old and have had 2 separate houses ever since then, with my brother and I switching houses every Sunday. I start my freshman year of college in a few weeks, and am commuting since it’s only a 25 minute drive from either house. I have a feeling it’s going to be horribly inconvenient to move all my textbooks, school supplies, as well as personal items between houses on a Sunday night. Obviously it would be way easier if I were dorming, but I just can’t afford it right now. I’m wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and what they have done. Do you just pick one house to stay at and visit the other on occasion? Do you just switch on a different day? Pls let me know because I’m conflicted on what to do lol

Hi! I am trying the medium Pixie disc with the removal string for the first time this month, and I need some help figuring out what I’m doing wrong. I bought the medium because it was recommended for average/heavy flow, which I have. I tried it for the first time today and leaked within an hour and a half/two hours after putting it in. I have a feeling it keeps going in front of my cervix instead of behind it, but I’m not sure how to fix this/if this is even the issue. I am inserting it way back and pointing it as far towards the floor as I can while inserting. In addition to this, I am also noticing that the disc doesn’t fully “pop open” when it’s in. I ordered the smaller size, and it is coming in the mail tomorrow, so I will update on if the size ended up being the issue after I try it. I am able to tuck it behind my pubic bone, and it is not coming untucked as far as I can tell, so I’m assuming the issue lies with getting it to sit behind my cervix or the size. I am not able to feel my cervix through the disc when it’s in, but when I removed the disc after it leaked earlier, it did have a lot of blood in it. Please let me know if any of you had the same issues/any potential fixes :)
