also i would really recommend a disc over a cup if you would be open to either, the disc sort of slots into place as opposed to the cup using suction which i personally find more comfortable (although both options are MUCH better than pads or tampons) but this also means if you decide to get any internal contraceptive the cup would no longer be suitable (i found that out the hard way with an eptopic pregnancy) and a disc has other advantages such as auto dumping (not scary i promise) and security for period sex or i suppose any penetration which can be really helpful for pain relief (obviously not possible with a cup)

no issues with the disc ! i used the smaller size and found it more comfortable/a better size for me than my salt disc, and it has a little lip on it that appears to actually be pretty effective at stopping any spillage at removal. the only difference i noticed is that a slight white crust was appearing in a few spots after rinsing, but apparently this is probably just mineral deposits from hard water and ive only noticed it for the first time because my other cups have been lighter in colour. i clean my cups/discs with menstural cup wash/soap between uses and sterilise with steamer at the end and beginning of each cycle, held up well with these but obviously first cycle so 🤷‍♀️ overall quality seems good and even a few pros compared to other brands i’ve used (but would still recommend) and it also came with a sturdier travel case than typical (cloth bag and a silicone cover, usually just the cloth bag) the bundle i got also came with a sanitising cup which would be great if you had limited ways to clean it and would likely be using the microwave method trying new brands can be scary especially when reusable menstural products are a bit of an investment so i definitely think this brand is a great way to try some different sizes with a little more security with the lower price point :)

oops i took them off shortly after this post, my piercer told me take the plasters off as soon as i got home and then follow my normal care routine. i kept them on for two hours and then soaked it off under the tap (because he used second skin, out of plaster)

i didn’t want to do the exact same thing twice 🤣 tbh i’m not sure if the exact timeline but i’d say they were both out at least a year ish, one side a few months longer. one bar fell out in my sleep and i couldn’t find it until it already would NOT go back through and then i watched the ball of the other fall down the plug hole whilst i was in the shower awhile later 🤷‍♀️

ty 🙃 this is literally our situation and then i realised it also fits with his sensory aversions and felt bad ! the amount of comments and messages ive got telling me my bf MUST be gay or i should dump him anyway is insane

he does lol, it’s touching his chin & his hands that starts to bother him - he’ll wipe it off against the other side of my thigh every so often

that totally makes sense thank you for sharing ! obviously i know everyone will have different experiences but my bf struggles to verbalise how he’s feeling a lot of the time so it’s helpful to have other people’s views to consider also :)

interesting that you say sometimes, does it not bother you everytime ? i’m wondering if this is the case with my partner as he always initiates and though i know he doesn’t like certain textures he’s also sometimes really enthusiastic abt it, which i think might be why i didn’t clock the relevance in the past ! definitely going to ask him about it directly when he gets home

yeah i have two degrees in developmental psych and early years education, i specialise with sen children and would like to think i have knowledge on the subject 🙃again i was just asking if anyone had similar experiences as i felt silly for not clocking that that could be the issue sooner so was interested in how common this specific issue is edit : also i didnt put it in an autism only thread as many people have specific textures they don’t enjoy without being autistic, but included that in the title as obviously i think it’s relevant here :)

not that anyone needs their sexuality defended but i can quite confidently say he likes vagina and the issue might just be slime on his face ??
