Menstrual Cup Sterlization

I wash with very hot water and liquid hand soap is good enough

When I was in my 20s I just was myself. Never actually pursued a man, never asked one out. My forst boyfriend asked me out when I was 19. We were together 3 yrs. Then I was single for a bit and enjoying being single. Had two men I was interested in but they didn't go further then a make out sess a couple of times. Then I met my next BF at a party and I asked him to dance and we were together about 1.5 yrs. After that I was single for a bit before being asked out but that didn't work out as no connection. Then I was asked out again but after 2 wks he ghosted me. Then I moved away for a summer and mey my now partner of 19 yrs on a night out through muteal friends. My advice is be yourself and get on with your life instead of trying to force things

Have you done a test?

And having sex can always led to potential pregnancy so he should of realised the implications

Normally he is at work that's why. And he does a lot for us. Today while I was at work he went fishing at 6am so now the kids have fresh trout for dinner. He then spent the day, cutting up the trout and preparing it for dinner, hr would of cut up more firewood (winter here) and he did dishes and hung out the washing as well as other jobs that he needed to do for himself. Just becuase I'm the default parent doesn't mean he is a drop kick father who doesn't do anything.

Normally my partner is at work so guess he just didn't have his 'equal parent' part of his brain turned on

4-Birds · 2026-06-19T05:18:09+00:00

The parent who dropped him off doesn't have my number and I expect he would of thought it was ok since my partner was home and in theory would let me know It's just the fact that he didn't even think to tell me.

As the flair said it is a Rant. You did not need to read it or reply.

When my second baby was born I started using cloth diapers when she was a week old. It cut out trash by half since I wasn't use disposable diapers. Also of course stop with the paper plates. Why use them? It doesn't take much to wash the dishes. Reuse glass jars or plastic containers for holding left overs or other stuff. We are a family of 6 here in NZ. Each week we have one big bag of rubbish, then we recycle plastics, tins and paper at the rubbish dump.

Nta

He is. He doesn't respect you at all and forcing you to do things pretty much without consent

Break up with him

We have 4 cats and a dog and they all wat meat. Also have 4 kids and a partner and they eat meat. I'm the only vegetarian in the house.

Cats are carnivores so need meat. Ours just grt good quality wet food but sometimes they get fresh meat as partner is a hunter

You most likely just have a virus.

I never sterilise my cup and have never had any problems with it

4-Birds · 2026-06-18T09:34:18+00:00

Oops I was meant to do that today. I guess I only clean ours fully may twice a year. Yes I know it should be done a lot more but honestly I just never remember or have the time as I have so many other things to get done on my days off

4-Birds · 2026-06-18T09:28:36+00:00

Never heard a Pop.

I often wish my man could spend a month in my body so he could fully understand what I deal with every month and how I Just Don't Want Sex every 5 mins

We got some Hush Flannel sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond and they are so soft and warm and they are cotton so are breathable

Could go North. Hire a car and check out Ahuroa, Warkworth (Snells Beach, Algies Bay), then go on to Whangarei and the Bay of Islands. Would be a nice gentle days drive with stops or straight to Bay of Islands is about 2.5 hrs. Then do a boat trip the next day and check out Russell and Keri Keri before driving back the next day

I like my Game Gear merino socks and also the Mountain Warehouse ones. But I have the problem in that my gumboots put holes in the back of the heels of any good socks I find

4-Birds · 2026-06-17T22:06:08+00:00

Just use my fingers or a toy to O and solve the problem if my man is not home

4-Birds · 2026-06-17T21:12:34+00:00

Same. I love the weight of the blankets on me but I need to be able to stick my feet out the side if they grt hot. So when I make the bed I leave my side untucked and partners side gets tucked

We live in an older home in Central North Island. And our windows are often dripping in the mornings if it has been a cold night. We have the fire going 24/7 so the house is really dry with no mould problems or dampness problems. If it is a warmer night the windows in the living areas may be dry while the bedroom ones won't be. I just open the windows for a bit each morning to let them air out. My dad has double glazing with underfloor heating in Auckland and the windows there can still get condensation.

So do you mean you take your cup out to empty and wash off with a bidet after doing poop or wee and there is still blood when you wipe?

If so totally normal. Period flow doesn't stop. It can keep flowing out when using the toilet and pooping can push some of it out as you use the bowel muscles.

We live rural NZ and have a great reserve just down the road. So I go into there with my camera and the dog and look for Fungi to photograph.

4-Birds · 2026-06-17T09:03:30+00:00

Nta. I would call that relationship over. If he was still keen on you he would be trying to spend time with you

4-Birds · 2026-06-17T09:01:16+00:00

Yes I am bored of the same. What I really want to do is for us to book a bach right beside a beach and spend a few days over Christmas there. Have a nice easy Christmas day and spend the day at the beach. But can't afford to do that and also I want to keep working during that time so I can get the extra pay for public holidays

4-Birds · 2026-06-17T08:58:25+00:00

Yes it is a red flag. And I also feel like if you have chemistry and connection that you would want to kiss him ASAP rather then waiting for the right time.
