Hopefully, they don’t expect you to return the product…
Don’t see why not, run it under the hot tap, soak in bleach and it’s perfectly sanitary and postable.
They want it back
- So they know you’re lying
- To check it’s not faulty.
Not, of course that they would ever re-cycle unwanted ones.
Holy cow, a mini bucket, and we don’t even have to tie it between our legs! I’ve never heard of such a thing. Gotta get me one of those. I think it would be cool to use a product that doesn’t dry up all my stuff.
I figure even if I spill it, it can’t be worse than the times I’ve bled all over myself in public anyway. I find that the older I get, the more it takes to embarrass me.
I can’t help it. What with the holiday season here, I can’t help but read the title to this thread while internally humming this tune from “Holiday Inn” …
Happy period … happy period …
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy periods to you …
That is just so, so wrong. Stupid brain.
I’m pretty sure it is. I hope it is. Um, I’ll double check the next time I’m at the house of the friend who owns that book.
These threads always remind me of the time ex #2 got her “happy time” one night in bed after we had both fallen asleep. I got to share in the happiness when I got up in the morning, walked into the bathroom, and saw what was making me feel sticky.
I suggested an oil spill containment boom.
Hmph. No sense of humor in that one.
And she let you live? 
Yeah, she already had a lot of blood to clean up, what’s a little more?
Another vote for the menstrual cup. I used to use Super-Duper-Ultra-XTreme and I still had to change them every few hours. With the cup, I empty and clean it out once a day (!!!) in the shower in the morning, and that’s it.
In my experience, once you get the hang of it there are no leaks.
And it’s fantastic that it doesn’t “dry out your stuff” - you can put it in the morning of the day your period is expected (as opposed to playing the waiting-and-watching game) and leave it in until it’s convenient to remove it and put it away. No drying, ever. (I didn’t fully appreciate the joy of this until I forgot it at home one day that I got my period and had to use a Tampax. Oh my god, it was agony. You can’t remove those things until they’re reasonably saturated - ick!)
Pays for itself after three or four months. I just bought my second one after wearing out the one I got ten years ago.
OK - I finally ordered one after hearing multiple people on here raving about it. Let’s hope I become a fan too!
I used Always after having my baby, and the midwives all told me that prettty much everyone who used them got a rash (as I did), to the point they would ask anyone with a rash, “So, you’ve been using Always, huh?” Kotex are much better.
After giving birth, I find my naughty bits are super sensitive, and I can’t fathom how I ever endured Always, scented pads, and cotton/rayon tampons. I use sea sponge tampons and Kotex, and just got a Diva - I swear I can feel it pressing on my bladder, but I’m willing to experiment to avoid, as it was so eloquently put, “drying my stuff out.” 
It’s tough!
Won’t dry your stuff!
See how easy this is, Always?
Susie Derkins, I believe you have real potential as an ad writer. I like that one a lot. Always should hire you on the spot. (no pun intended)
Because your copy was so compelling, I took the plunge, so to speak, and ordered my very own period cup. While I still can’t say that I’m looking forward to the next 5-9 day cycle of oozing, bitchy, blotchy, achy, bloated discomfort, at lease I’ll have the Cup as a novelty to help distract me.
Many thanks to irishgirl.
