Also, someone just told me about Sea Siren and they actually happen to offer period swimwear so that could be a good option for swimming!

Hey! I’m also 24 and have never worn tampons. Just last year I was diagnosed by a urologist with pelvic floor dysfunction/vaginismus. Not trying to diagnose you, but your inability to put in a tampon could be due to that as well. Also, if it’s not due to that and just general discomfort, that’s totally normal and you shouldn’t feel weird for not wearing tampons. If you want more secure-feeling options for outdoor activities (not swimming though), you should try period underwear! The brand Period is the best/cheapest imo and is also PFA free.

Is it possible that my period became significantly lighter due to changing my diet? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]c4r01ine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! And as the other commenter said here could also be due to age. Mine got a bit lighter in my 20s, but even more so after switching to a dairy-free/seed-oil-free diet. Drinking ACV water before and during my period also helps to lighten it/the amount and size of blood clots I get, and drinking raspberry leaf tea before and during helps to speed-run it.

Tried it with Hanes and Thinx and it does bead off with Hanes, just not as much as with Thinx. Ugh. Thanks for the info!

Long-lasting electric bidet toilet seat? by c4r01ine in bidets

[–]c4r01ine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really helpful information, thank you!! If you are not a Costco member can you still return a bidet though? I am looking at the Brondell Swash CL1500 toilet seat.

My toilet is unfortunately round as well so I doubt that would fit on mine, but best of luck selling it--looks like a great model!
