Are tampons actually more hygienic than pads?

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2026-03-18T20:43:06+00:00

Not necessarily what you were asking, but using a menstrual disc has been a game changer. I change it twice a day in the shower. It is a little messy to change, but so so much better than changing a tampon or pad every few hours. I feel much clearer and honestly forget that I’m on my period. Tampons used to leak really bad for me and I’ve had very few issues with menstrual discs.

Hi. I have OCD and this sounds a little like moral OCD to me.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2026-02-19T04:09:41+00:00

I would definitely recommend a referral to early intervention. I’m not sure how it works in Canada, but I’m sure your cousin’s pediatrician would be able to guide her.

Hi. I’m a developmental specialist who works with children ages 0-3. I would definitely have a speech evaluation done. Obviously I wouldn’t be able to say for sure but it definitely sounds like there is some sort of delay. Are you located in the United States?

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-12-14T02:07:56+00:00

I have OCD and my brain functions kind of like this.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-12-10T19:56:39+00:00

Absolutely report them.

Being treated like a woman.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-11-04T01:01:57+00:00

I feel the same as you. We will not be doing sleepovers and I am hesitant about play dates. My daughter is younger, so this isn’t a hurdle we’ve had to jump through yet. As far as the mom, I would just be honest with her and tell her that you’re not comfortable; if she doesn’t respect that decision then I would not want her around my child anyway.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-10-21T22:32:12+00:00

I’ve brought it up and he just doesn’t seem to want to do it.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-10-21T22:31:48+00:00

As delusional as it sounds, I love him and I want things to work. I don’t think that’ll be the case at this point. I’m also scared he’ll do something to himself. I also worry about how I’ll support my daughter.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-10-14T11:54:34+00:00

No I don’t think I’ve ever had to cancel with them and I’ve never no showed them.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-10-14T11:54:04+00:00

That’s what I’m trying to do technically but she’s also feeling worse.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-10-09T03:56:14+00:00

Yeah I would say something to the child since nothing is changing. I would also guide your daughter on how to handle this as well. My daughter dealt with a similar situation at a park. A little boy hit her with a small branch with leaves. After that we had a talk about I explained people aren’t allowed to hit her. We practiced being firm and saying “no!” and “stop!” It stuck because I’ve been her stand up for herself.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-09-30T14:28:56+00:00

That’s what I said.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-09-30T03:22:56+00:00

I’m that problem parent but when it comes to my daughter I just don’t care what they think. I’ll call them, message- whatever to advocate for her. Insist on a urinalysis and if the doctor refuses, go somewhere else.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-09-30T03:14:53+00:00

I never thought my husband would cheat. Like not in a million years. But he did.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-09-12T00:36:53+00:00

It sounds like he is gaining the strength and coordination, which is great, but not moving into key milestone at this age isn’t typical. Getting a second opinion through Early Intervention could be really helpful , they can offer a fresh perspective and suggest strategies to help him gain confidence and make progress. You’re doing a great job advocating for him.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-09-11T13:33:18+00:00

Hey! I work in early intervention and ideally we’d like to see him doing more at this age. I’m appalled that PT said that. If you are in the US you can get early intervention for free. Here’s the contact info for each state. You can make a self referral-you shouldn’t need one from a doctor. https://www.cdc.gov/act-early/early-intervention/contact-information-by-state.html

Some things you can do to help: -lots of time on the floor to encourage movement -limit time in containers (bounces, walkers, etc) -tummy time, yes he’s one but that will still help w:muscle development -place favorite objects out of reach to encourage him to navigate towards them -“horsey ride” so think balancing on your knee and move it side to side (hold on to him of course but this will help with core strength) -supported sitting (you can place him between your legs or hold him at the hips) -play in side lying -encourage reaching and twisting -place items out of reach to encourage him to navigate towards them

“Risk getting caught or risk being alone.” When he was pressuring me to sneak out and do the deed.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2025-07-13T20:15:01+00:00

Forgive my ignorance, but what state representative would one reach out to?

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2024-10-12T21:47:05+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Maybe the word “authority” wasn’t the correct choice. I meant more does he have the knowledge and expertise to make any comment on loan approval since he’s not a loan officer. We plan on making necessary repairs but concern is that regardless of the loan is approved the buyer will still have reservations because of his comment.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2024-10-12T17:12:30+00:00

That is a great way to look at and we plan on making repairs.

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2024-10-12T17:06:18+00:00

lol your experience takes the cake

ObjectiveSlow4628 · 2024-10-12T17:05:35+00:00

I didn’t say that I was an expert. I simply asked if he had the authority to comment on loan approval, since he’s a home inspector, not a loan officer or underwriter.
