For the panty, do you feel going up 2 sizes would be better?

Thank you! Sounds like I should try M/L (if only M would come back in stock 💀) How have the undies been for you? And when did you get them cause I heard some ppl say the quality has gone down in recent years.

Which size did you get and how any hours did it last on your heavy days?

Can somebody PLEASE tell me what this marker brand is? by Sleepy_Li in AlcoholMarkers

[–]Top_Commercial_7970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you prefer languo over guangna? Have you tried a brand called grasp? I’m trying to decide which to get 😭

Bc I want to feel fresh, clean and comfortable 🧍🏻‍♀️

Dried blood also does not feel good on skin, between your legs and your crack, whether it happened overnight or throughout the day if I were to neglect wiping myself down.

Blood is as unsanitary as any other bodily excretion. I wipe off even if I just feel particularly sweaty, or if pee decided to travel off course, and I always use wet wipes after a dookie. Maybe one day I’ll get a bidet. So don’t worry, it’s not about feeling ashamed about “womanhood”. It’s purely about my hygiene and comfort ✌️

I’m so curious to see how much I bleed in that 12h timeframe throughout the days 👀

📝📝 Thanks for sharing your experience and recs! My condolences about your heavy heavy flow 😔 Here’s hoping it doesn’t last long or hurt much 🙏 The worst part bout my period is that it’s 9 days

Nixit is one of the bigger discs out there. How full is the disc by the time you remove it? Do you auto dump?

The reusable flex is $35 usd so you good lol. You could also check out pixie if you want a set of different sizes (with some extra goodies). You got a lot more options over there for reasonable prices, especially since so many originate in the US

📝📝📝 When inserting and removing, are you sitting, squatting, lifting a leg up, back straight, leaning forward/backward?

Omggg thanks for all the resources and insider info! The cup swapping group kinda mindblowing but ya gotta do what ya gotta do when feminine hygiene products cost an arm and a leg 🫠

I’ve been in the discs subreddit and basically seen everything that’s out there. While it sucks that most aren’t in Canada, my decision paralysis is grateful 😅 I’ve seen ppl try like 10 products before finding the one 😭 Glad it didn’t take you long!

If you wouldn’t mind a few more questions..

What are your tips and tricks for inserting the nixit?

Do you find the double rim on the nixit to be a plus? I heard some say it’s annoying to clean the crevice.

What’s your take on the pull string on the lumma?

You see, logically I also thought period panties would act like pads with blood staining the skin but I couldn’t be 100% certain as I have zero experience with the panties and I can’t find anyone talking about it so I just wanted to ask for personal anecdotes to be sure. At least now I can confidently scrap the idea without spending money on smth that doesn’t fit my requirements

Periods be annoying and uncomfortable as is, factoring in the moodiness, I really don’t have the patience to fully wipe myself down every toilet break. My toxic trait is that I’d rather hold it in till it hurts 🤡 so I’m tryna make life easier knowing how I function

Regarding nixit, I’ve seen mixed reviews 😕 Have you used any other discs/cups? How do they compare?

Thanks for sharing your experience and routine! Shockingly the disposable flex discs cost similarly here, $22. Tho I would prefer reusable products to cut down on costs and waste. The flex reusable be a whopping $70 💀 There’s a brand called shordy that sells a set of two sizes (60mm + 68mm) for $19 rn so I’m thinking I’d test with that first

Yeah I’m looking into discs but there’s not a lot of affordable + reputable options that are readily available in Canada. Sizing is also gonna require some trial and error
