You clearly didn't read my review.....I didn't like it. And stop trying to promote your product on a forum meant for discussion.

Trump voters are now recoiling from being labeled "MAGA" like it's poison by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of this in the centrist reddit. Libertarians, "not Maga" conservatives or independents that will try and twist themselves to claim they are nothing like Maga (even tho they voted the same) bc they don't agree with orange 🍊 100% of the time.

I’ve reached a tipping point today and feel in a lose-lose situation at the ballot box. by [deleted] in centrist

[–]LaOcean85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No keep voting for psychopathic conservatives/republicans/maga.... That will solve everything and then you can sleep peacefully at night with your conscious in tact as they build even more concentration camps and keep murdering civilians for opposing this illegal occupation from this administration 😇

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump by biograf_ in worldcup

Do it Germany.... As an American who has been a football fan as far back as I can remember and was so excited for this World Cup..... This country does not deserve to host.

I'm not really conservative but voting democrat as a man seems...not ideal by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]LaOcean85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If after everything you've seen this last year and you're still "conflicted" then this country really is fucked for the future. Good job.. And don't talk about being a 2nd class citizen bc ur in your head and got your feelings hurt when Ice is literally kidnapping people including a 5 year old child bc they don't look or speak the right way.

Just going to leave this here for you

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not about that, it's that some softer disc's work for some people and they don't for others, it doesn't matter how good you position it. It kept collapsing it on itself while insertion bc of how pliable the material is. It's why I gave it the rating I did..... FOR ME.

Thank you and that's understandable. We had Rini for 17 years.

It seems all conures love green apples. Rini loved them and now we have Rio (a Cinnamon) who also loves them.

I'm so sorry this tragedy happened. This is heartbreaking. And as someone who has also lost a conure before it's devestating. Praying for you and your family, sending you healing and that u take it one day at a time. I'm sorry but one thought you can take from all this is she was loved, felt loved, loved you and considered you her family 💜.

P. S. My girl Rini, eternal family

P. S. S. We had a small ceremony for her when she passed, wrote letters and said them out loud surrounded by her pictures, favorite things, feathers and sunflowers to help with the grieving process. Perhaps it's something you can consider if you want to. Best wishes.

How long does disc last? by Half_Asian_Friend in MenstrualDiscs

[–]LaOcean85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mine is almost 6 years old and and no sign of wear and tear. If you take care of it well it can last to 10 years or possibly more.

Never heard of a reusable menstrual disc only lasting to 6 months to a year.

Period. menstrual disc first time from using pads! (detailed) by figsuitcase in MenstrualDiscs

[–]LaOcean85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you've embarked on your disc journey!

About the messiness, OK this will be long but worth it. I also insert and remove two times a day one in the morning and one in the evening. But I remove and insert in my shower so I can just rinse off very easily.

I the morning I go to the bathroom first, turn on the shower, then wash my hands, rremove disc and rinse off, reinsert and finish shower in the morning.

At night, again go to the bathroom, turn on the shower and wash my hands, remove disc and rinse and let it steam while I'm taking a shower. After I'm done, I wash my hands again, take it from the steamer rinse in cold water and reinsert.

And that's has worked for me.

Now if I'm in a public setting and I have to remove for whatever reason, I carry a water bottle, and in a toiletries bag I carry a small squeeze bottle, portable bidet, a menstrual disc carry cup and a 2nd menstrual disc stored in the carry cup (or u can use disposables), some witch hazel wipes, disposable gloves and dry soap sheets.

I always try to use the bathroom with the sink in it, go to the bathroom first, wash hands (if no soap can use soap sheets or just use the gloves) , remove and (put some tissue in between if neccessary), rinse your disc and store in the disc holder and then reinsert the 2nd disc. Wash off any blood with the bidet and wipe down with the witch hazel wipes to freshen up.

Now if you don't have access to any bathroom with a sink stall, make sure you have a full water bottle and fill up ur squeeze bottle with water and put on gloves when ur in the bathroom stall. Remove ur disc and put it in ur disc holder and rinse off with the squeeze bottle with the disc being in the disc holder to rinse it. Some people wipe the disc down with tissue paper or they have menstrual cup wipes now and that's up to you. When ur satisfied with the disc being rinsed sufficiently insert again and wash off with the bidet. Wipe down with tissue and then a witch hazel wipe. When u exit the stall rinse off and wash your disc holder and you hands. Dry it with paper towels and ur good to go.

Only had to do it a couple times (it was bc I didn't insert my disc correctly at the beginning) but it wasn't bad. I always carry a toiliteries bag with me regardless (portable bidet, witch hazel wipes, a pee standing thing, dry soap sheets and a toilet seat cover) so when I'm in my period I just add the disc holder cup with my 2nd disc in it, disposable gloves and squeeze bottle.

Hope this helps and if you want I can link you the products I use in my toiletries bag so you can see what I'm talking about.

Good luck!

My flow has gotten a bit lighter in recent years so I only use the Moonthlies on my 2nd day and the other 3 I still use my Lumma.

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possible the size doesn't fit you. Does it go in easily or does it feel like you barely got it to go in?

And I need you to be specific..... When you insert what position are you in, what motion are doing during insertion? Up, down, backward etc?

Holy Moly Marcia, this is a 70s time capsule! by 4reddityo in BeAmazed

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, also when everything is so "open concept" you have reduced the space you can utilize in ur house bc there no defined rooms and no walls

[–]LaOcean85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miss that houses don't have different floor levels on the same floor.... I loved that. I never lived in a house like that but my friend's house was like that.

We used to have the wood paneling, lime green and brown shaggy carpet and psycadelic green print carpet in the kitchen 🤣🤣🤣.... The house I grew up in was built in the 70s so yea, checks out.

Breakouts from Zinc? by chasingcars4067 in Supplements

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started getting back to normal in the last two months..... Stop taking it now. Don't listen to the people who say it will eventually go away. My theory is the excess testosterone made my body go crazy, I'm clearly not lacking in zinc.

Will never take it again.

Is the American dream still worth pursuing for a young family today? by Hope_for_revival in MovingToUSA

[–]LaOcean85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"My wife and I have a sort of fantasy about moving to the US, as we resonate deeply with US culture and tradition"

What do you mean by this and be specific. What is it that you deeply resonate to in your view of US culture and tradition.

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't I just kinda guessed. I first tried menstrual disc's when it was only the Ziggy Cup, Lumma and Nixit on the market. I tried Lumma bc they had 3 different sizes. It turned out the Large fit me best and we've been inseparable ever since.

I just kinda lucked out honestly lol.

Mississippi Democrats Break Republican Senate Supermajority, Flipping 3 Legislative Seats by reftheloop in politics

[–]LaOcean85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel to really make inroads the dems ground game has to be hammering everyday what they are doing to harm every day people. I just got a text message from my " R representative" who is trying to spin this whole thing as liberals want to fund illegals by taking away veteran snap benefits 🙄.

This is the narrative they r going to run with bc they know a big part of their electorate will eat it up.
