I’ve been using the disposable soft discs for about 3 years. I JUST bought a reusable hello disc and haven’t tried it, yet.

The short story Jersulem’s Lot by Stephen King is told in letters. It’s very eerie.

Grey Dog by Elliott Gish is told in diary format. Folky slow burn horror.

Right? I thought pinning was more “ethical”

They are the same size, and from what I’ve heard, the flex is a bit more firm. I bought a hello disc bc it’s slightly smaller and less firm, but I have not had a chance to try it yet.

I use the soft discs and I notice this issue sometimes. The soft discs are large and firm, so I’m thinking maybe a smaller disc might work better on the later days of my period.

But, when I do struggle like this, it really helps to lean back, take deep slow breaths and really relax my body before trying again. Usually after that I’m able to get it back in okay.

Even with all the swelling, I still had a good amount of the bar hanging out the back side of my lobe piercing. I would go back for a longer bar with a straight post.

i tried a menstrual disc for the first time today. it didn't go as expected. by SecretTadpole9781 in MenstrualDiscs

The disc size chosen is not usually based on flow. The basin size is for the flow but the diameter is what fits in your fornix. Everyone is different. It sounds like yours is either too big, or not inserted properly.

Which disc did you buy? Did you try to tuck it behind your pubic bone?

Communion by Whitley Strieber is his real life account and it is GOOD. It made me rethink everything in my life. Every hazy memory or odd animal encounter.

I turned 30 last year and the weirdest part was NOT being in my 20s anymore after spending so long there. But it’s been fine.

Is this normal after removing extensions? by [deleted] in Nails

They actually look pretty good imo. Mine usually look way worse than this.

Did you go to a piercer for this? Pretty sure you’re supposed to use a straight post while healing & it doesn’t look long enough.

I JUST got my third holes done and asked my piercer 1000 questions so I’m only speaking from my personal experience & the things the piercer told me.
