awful...

So this was a very tramatic cycle! after the natural history museum accident, everything was fine, for a day! i guess the sponge just ran its course but i really thought that it would hold out through this cycle. the same thing that happened at the museum happened in my bathroom! the sponge just leaked out everywhere! i ended up just throwing it away and used the cup for the last three days. I guess i had a heavier than usual flow because i stopped using the nuvaring bc. uuuuugggghhhhh! misery! i felt really sick and gross and the smell of blood was haunting me for the rest of the time i was on my period! uuuuggghhh!

p.s.

i think its funny how the sponge provides so much more entertainment than a pad or tampon

The Museum of Natural Blood Gushing EVERYWHERE!!!!

Today i went to the museum of natural history (my favorite museum ever!) and the very first thing i did was search for the bathroom. i had to pee sooo badly! after peeing i kept hearing squishing noises coming from my sponge. i thought "wtf! did it absorb my pee?" i had no way of washing it cause there was a long line and i wouldnt be able to wash it out and then go right back into the stall. so i thought it would be a really good idea to squeeze it out and then put it back in.. kind of like the how you can pour out the cup... but no. that doesnt work with the sponge. so i pull it out and it was sooo full!!!! i didnt even know i could bleed that much! it was leaking out EVERYWHERE!!!! it got on the toilet seat, all over my hands (dripping down my hand!!!), ridiculous! so i wrapped it up in toilet paper and it leaked through that so i kept wrapping it and it kept leaking through!! it was such a mess! and there was a whole line of women waiting for the bathroom. (thankfully there were two other stalls) it was like a movie! it was insanity!  this sponge is at it's last cycle. its sad but it just isnt doing it anymore. what a wreck! its funny to think about it now but at the time i'm sure my face was bright red!

Sneeze, Squish, Splat!!!

AGAIN!!! haha

yes my love for the sponge provides entertainment to me only... cause thankfully i'm the only one who can hear it! i love alternative products soo much because they are crazy comfortable but... i always forget i have my period! which is great but sucky cause then its 2:30 am and i havent washed the sponge in many many hours! which lovingly causes sneeze squish splat. 

my cousin (whom i love dearly but is very very wasp-y and close minded) got her period the day before her week long Virgin Islands vacation. i suggested that she get a menstrual cup then she could go in the water and got get her vag bit by a shark. i (knowing this was going to be the likely response) got the usually reaction of "that is wrong!!! DEVIL! DEVIL!!!!" and then got an earful the whole ride from connecticut to nyc about it. 

WOW!!!!! i dont understand why people are so closed minded about alter products! it's like people are addicted to the eco-killing, body harming products that are sold in bulk. well i say "that is wrong!!! DEVIL!! DEVIL!!!!" to those.  (i have an angry, squinty eyed look right now) 
oh the passion! 

schwinn mentioned that its funny how we get out periods on days that we had menstruation class. (t/th)  

and that's all folks!
