The Joy of Periods.

[logansrogue]

Cramping. Bloating. Deferred pain in limbs, back and joints. Wooziness due to drugs. The discomfort of pads (though yes, I know, the Diva Cup would make that a thing of the past, but I can't have things in my uterus or vagina, my body chews on them and makes my cramps worse). Bowel discomfort. Bowel irritation. Fatigue. Aura from a migraine that nearly happened.

Oh, Aunt Irma, Aunt Flo, you indomitable bitch. Where the fuck were you? I'm actually glad to see you, despite all that bullshit.

It sucks that cups aren't for everyone. but hey, everyone is different.

Apparently cloth pads are a heap more comfy than plasticy mass-produced pads. As long as you don't mind washing them, they may be worth looking into.

Ah, there's the rub, dear Beej. Washing the pads requires energy, of which I have extremely little. But it's an idea I might look into.

Sarcasm, my dear man, sarcasm. T_T

That said, codeine is a lifesaver in situations like this.

Would soaking them in cold water for a while, then chucking them in the washer do it?
