This post is about the lady-bits and the red tide (Re: Period), boys, please don't read. It's a little bit TMI.

Before going to Bali for the holidays I had bought a mooncup for the red tide and I tried to use it there using the C-fold method but it didn't work. So I bought a box of tampons instead. Tampons are pricey.

Day 1 using the mooncup.
Successful insertion! Used the punch-down fold method and it worked! YAY! But now it feels like I've got a balloon up in there. Wtf?
We'll see how it fares through the night.
By the way, ladies, you can refer to this blog post to know what each fold looks like and pick out your favourite.

If this turns out great, and Kim and her mom says it does. I'm recommending it to ALL my girlfriends!
YAY!

Just a re-cap, Menstrual cups are best because they don't cause allergic reactions as they are made using surgical grade silicon and collect instead of absorb. You don't have to spend every month for it as it is re-usable, remember to sterilise it before and after the red tide, though. And because they are reusable, it is environmentally friendly!

Also, I'm going to get a spare just in case. I'll call 'em Thelma and Louise. hahahahahahaha...

Day 2 using the mooncup.
GORGEOUS! The feeling is just gorgeous! No bunching up pads, no stuffy feeling in the nether regions from tampons, no leakages and definitely no TSS (toxic shock syndrome) scare.
The only problem is getting used to feeling the suction from the seal. No, your uterus is not going to be pulled from your va-j-j. After about 5 minutes you don't even remember it's there.
*smug*
Will check up after the 'heaviest' night if there's any leakages.

Day 3 using the mooncup.
Heeehhehehhee... Passed with flying colours!
No longer updating, seems trivial to be repeating what I've been saying, oh, I don't know, the same thing again?

Wheeeeeeeee!
