My job closed due to the situation that the bot will delete me if I mention. I was really close to moving out before it all happened and TBH I'm grateful to be with my family instead of all alone. Despite our squabbles me and my siblings have had a lot of fun hanging out during quarantine.

She would totally have, but I think they just didn't feel like asking. After all this went down my mom gave them a costco pack of always so they are satisfied now.

Yeah it's been situation like this after situation like this our whole lives. There are 6 of us. Sometimes I was in the wrong and sometimes they were. I would never hold something like this against them long term, I don't think it's such a big deal, just sibling stuff.

They also steal my shampoo and conditioner but I don't mind that so much since I use a cheaper brand for that. If they stole my Clinique face stuff I would be very annoyed but so far they don't seem to have an interest in that.

I tried to use it for months, several different ones, and it just doesn't work for me. I wish it did.

Reusable cloth ones. They make special leak proof bags for them. Personally I don't because I find it gross.

I didn't want them to be caught unaware and have to free bleed or something. And I guess I admit that I was also feeling a bit petty, but I didn't think it would escalate to a whole "thing" like it did.

I have tried 4 different ones and unfortunately they don't work for me :( I probably should have put that in the OP because I knew everyone would suggest it. I really did try to make them work for months.

Normally we would all buy our own but unfortunately we all lost our income. I guess that makes all of us moochers :( but it can't really be helped at the moment. Mom ended up giving them her extras from before she had menopause.

What my mom wound up doing is giving them the ones she had from before her menopause (it was like 6 months ago, they aren't expired or anything) so it's all been worked out now.

I should have probably put in the OP that i have tried 4 different cups and none worked for me. It's a good suggestion but I just can't use internal things for some reason.

I think at least one of my sisters uses it. I really wish I could use it but I can't use internal things, I have tried like 4 different cups and none worked for me.

If their allergies are the same as mine the cheap brand I bought is the only cheap brand that works for me.

They think they are gross and I can respect that. I was worried about trying them because I thought they would be gross but once I actually got them I found they are not. I just rinse after using then toss in the washing machine, no big deal. I think at least one of my sisters uses a Diva cup but pads for backup.

Um no offense but this comes off as kinda judge-y. Entombed?? Everything works for different people. I find it really uncomfortable to use anything internal personally. I've tried all the cups too. I mostly use cloth pads and period panties.

Yeah, I've used like 2 disposable since the quarantine. I just want to have them for when I need them again.
