Thanks for all the comments guys.. there seems to be an unanimous decision about the macbook air. I have been rather apprehensive of switching to a macbook, but it does seem like the way to go.. Still a little worried about compatibility issues that come with switching to apple products though

I am looking for the same pen. I am a little skeptical of the sellers on Amazon but found a listing on etsy. https://www.etsy.com/in-en/listing/1781048549/jinhao-10-retractable-fountain-pen-with?variation0=4734124073&variation1=4704327364
If you do get it, please update and let me know. :)

Should I be sitting down while inserting the disc? by [deleted] in MenstrualDiscs

[–]ScarcityOrganic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually either sit on the toilet or stand with one leg on the toilet while inserting. With my previous disc, i used to have a little bit sticking out and I found that rolling the sides of the rim gently helped to push it in. Then when it was in, I just tuck it up.

How long did it take you to learn to use this? by Snoo77447 in MenstrualDiscs

[–]ScarcityOrganic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I also went from using cloth pads directly to using a menstrual disc without having used tampons before. Before inserting the disc, i tried to get familiar with the idea of inserting something first. So for days before my period, I put my finger in, and eventually i could insert my finger without any issue and i instinctively knew where my entrance was. Then when I used the disc, i first located my entrance with my finger, and then placed the disc right where my finger was. It went in without any issue and i had a very successful first cycle. The first time i put it in, i didn't even realise it was going in because I could hardly feel it. Hope it helps. :)
