Hey Look, it is my 20th post!

Check me out... 20 posts in and I still don't really have an idea what I am doing.

Well anyway this week I have started my period and it is as usual a pain in my tush, but I have a new thing in my life, I have begun using a menstrual cup. I have two different cups, an orange ladycup and a purple meluna (both the smallest sizes available). So far I have established two things: 1, it definitely is a little extra annoying but 2, I love it anyway. Sure it is a little extra gross... but I can keep it in for 12 hours without worry and all I have to do is take it out and wash it and put it right back in. These cups are good for YEARS so it is well worth the expense... I am used to using OB tampons which would only take a few months to equal the cost of a ladycup (or meluna).

Personally, I am a bigger fan of the LadyCup. It's much more pliable and therefore easier to insert. I also have trouble removing the meluna for some reason, though in all honesty I don't really know exactly how I like to remove the cups yet.

Overall, I am happy I have switched to the menstrual cup. In our time of environmental stress, I fell like this is one more small thing I can do to help. Plus it reduces the toxins my system has to deal with.

Menstrual Cup Revolution! Let's make it in America!

Love, Always!
