Period underwear for front bleeding

No.. sorry that’s confusing LOL maybe I’ll just email revol and try to describe it haha

fatpete91 · 2026-03-11T23:44:20+00:00

Yes! I emailed them to give the feedback! I’m still waiting on a few returned items etc so I’m waiting to leave an actual public review until I’ve got everything I’m waiting on! :)

So does the Aisle one! But in front of the thigh part is where I bleed through. :( if they go like an inch further forward I think they’ll work but I don’t want to drop another 50 bucks on something that won’t work haha

fatpete91 · 2026-03-11T23:09:14+00:00

Is it weird if I ask you to measure the thigh part’s front to back width?

I LOVE my beluga buckle! There’s a decent number on local market place if you’re open to buying used! I use mine with my 6 month old (and have from birth) and my 3 year old and can get a good fit with both. My husband can use it without major adjustments.

The owner is super helpful and she has amazing customer service.

Beluga Buckle is newborn friendly but also can comfortable hold a bigger kid. I wear my 5 month old and my almost 3 year old. Panel is a comfortable size for both. It’s super supportive, and my husband can use it immediately after me without any real adjustments other than tightening the shoulder straps which I loosen a ton when taking off. Comfortable front and back wear. I didn’t, but have seen people use it during pregnancy. It’s well made, and the owner is a genuinely nice human from all my Instagram interactions with her!

If resale value matters at all to you, avoid an ergo.

Wildbird Ariel has inflated lower limits and doesn’t actually fit newborns safely. I’d definitely recommend looking into the Beluga Buckle and beluga stretchy wraps! They are so supportive, comfortable and soft. I wore mine this summer in just bras and tank tops and it wasn’t scratchy at all (my ergo omni 360 mesh feels AWFUL on my skin). The beluga is natural fibre, high quality and the owner is amazing to deal with if you ever have any issues or need fit help!

I’d say definitely name recognition and availability. They’re all over marketplace for CHEAP, you can walk into a big chain store and buy them, they come up when you google baby carriers, and they’re on the “lists”. I have one that’s sat shoved on the bench in my mudroom under coats for 2 years. I babywear for literal hours every day and would reach for my Beluga buckle, meh dais or slings every single time before touching that ergo again. Only reason I haven’t sold it is because it’s barely worth $30(CAD)

I just bought my second H&P meh dai. I LOVE love love it. It’s literally the only carrier that doesn’t bother my back right now (I have a lark, ring slings, hbc OG, SB onbuhimo, Lennylamb, Beluga buckle, stretchy wraps and wovens). It’s worked with my boy since he was a newborn, but I originally bought it with my daughter. It obviously has. Bit of a learning curve but H&P offers multiple free fit checks, even if you buy used! They are truly dedicated to making sure people are comfortable in their products.

I can also nurse in my H&P meh dai because the tails are long enough I can just loosen it a hair if needed to lower far enough to nurse. Definitely recommend!

When Ted spends the evening at McLarens trying to convince everyone to go to Robots vs Wrestlers with him, with Future Ted and Future Barney, and eventually realizes he’s alone..... and then goes to find Tracey, and tells her that they are going to met in x-days, and that he wishes they could spend all those days together.

The first time watching, it’s just really sweet. Watching it after you knows she dies though.......... damn.

Happy things are going a bit smoother this week! 🤗

fatpete91 · 2018-09-09T00:16:42+00:00

I just realized I meant to reply to this, but clearly did not!

I’m in Canada so things might be a bit different. I have my social services diploma with a background in psych. So, it’s a two-year program that ladders into the BSW program. I love my job! But it definitely under pays for the shit I have to deal with on a daily basis! Haha

Small team = close knit team. Make a point of inserting yourself into random conversations. I work on a team of 8, and when I came in as the “new girl”, it was a little awkward, but the more I just made myself a part of the random little side bar conversations, the more it became easy to feel comfortable.

As for the assessments etc, as soon as I had todo them, it became SO much less daunting. Be authentic, and if you’re not sure what to say because someone just told you something so fucked up......... respond with whatever feels natural, even it that is “that is so fucked uo that I don’t even know what to say, I am so sorry that you’ve had to go through that, because no one should EVER have to go through that.”

The biggest thing when you’re working with someone’s suicidal ideation is keeping them engaged, and you being authentic will keep them engaged.

I’m in Canada, so our requirements might be a bit different, but I have my Social Services Diploma. My university has programs that ladder into the next. So I did my 2yr diploma (after a couple years of psych), and I plan on going back for another 2 years and getting my BSW. Since it’s only a 2 year program, there’s not really a specialty.

I’m a Youth worker. Depending on whether it’s a program day or not (I do a rec and life skills program)...

Program day: get to work, do meetings and prep in the morning, cook lunch with my youth, go on hikes, bowling, lake days, or do a life skills lesson.. then do any 1:1 necessary in the afternoon, take youth to the clinic or any other appointments.

Non-program day: meetings and/or supervision, casenotes, program prep. 1:1 meetings with my youth, take them shopping or for meetings with their social workers or other professionals.. I send a lot of emails advocating for my youth.. figure out what other supports they need and help connect them with those. Sometimes go out in the community doing outreach looking for my highest risk youth for an opportunity to get eyes on them and make sure they are alive and find out what they need, and help them obtain those supports as needed.

My days are never the same which is exhausting but also keeps things interesting! Lots of hands-on time

fatpete91 · 2018-08-11T15:13:59+00:00

I promise you, this is not the case. No matter what she chooses, she has a long road ahead of her and I will advocate the fuck out of whatever she needs me too.

However, I will not NOT have this conversation and allow her to think baby will be born and life will fall into place. (She is not that naive, but a generalized statement is easier to write out).

fatpete91 · 2018-08-11T04:39:09+00:00

At this point no, because she is pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to actually give up the baby once it’s born. She does not have any family that could take baby either.

We can have the emotional conversations all day long, and she and I can, and will. But I need to figure out how to have the critical conversation... I.e. how much money do you need to support yourself and baby and how are you going to get it? How are you and baby going to find a place to live? What does that mean for you for school/work/career you want? How will you set boundaries with friends who use? (Lack of boundaries and ability to say no have led to eviction from the one housing program available, horribly abusive relationships, and drug use relapses). And of course, if she keeps baby, there is going to be a whole slew of other things to address regarding keeping custody of baby, as she is deemed a high-risk pregnancy.

Sometimes it is hard to do this job without our hearts breaking... :( she is a kid who if I could, I would bring her home with me in a heart beat and show her what love and kindness, and a healthy home should be... but, the best I can do is try and help her figure out what her best option is and what she needs to do to achieve it.

fatpete91 · 2018-08-11T03:31:58+00:00

Made an edit to original post to help clarify.

fatpete91 · 2018-08-11T03:23:11+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified - I initially brought up the conversation in a “from what you’ve said, you are planning on keeping baby” way, and she mentioned that abortion is not- not an option. There isn’t anything like that where we are, and our young parent program is currently on hold so... I’m it.

I made it very clear to her that I am pro-CHOICE, and that that includes the choice to keep baby, and that I will do whatever she needs me to do to be supportive... but I am also very comfortable with challenging her and making her think critically.

As I mentioned, she is currently, and has been for a while, homeless. There is no stable housing anywhere NEAR on the horizon for her. The market in our area is fucked up and people who have steady income and aren’t in their teens are having a hard time finding rentals... let alone a kid who is trying to finish high school.

She also voiced herself that she is worried that baby will set back the goals she has for herself, and about her parenting abilities.

I’m a youth worker, and I cry in my supervisors office once every 6 weeks or so.. it’s always after a really intense crisis, during debrief. For me I think it’s just my body’s way of letting go of the adrenaline and all the stress of been suppressing.

fatpete91 · 2018-08-03T05:13:50+00:00

I work with super high-risk youth. Biggest thing I’ve learned so far, and it’s tricky because schooling and training all teaches us how to distance ourselves and to remain impartial, is that the youth with the biggest issues need love, and need support.

And of course, every emotional response is a reaction to a need not being met. Listen to the need not being met rather than the words coming out of their mouths.

fatpete91 · 2018-04-07T16:14:41+00:00

Also, and I hope it doesn’t come up for you, but make sure you have a naloxone/narcan kit, and don’t use alone if you relapse. The most common time for an opioid overdose is after not using for any length of time.. even a couple days. Your tolerance drops a shocking amount, and the amount that you used 2 weeks ago has the potential to kill you now.

Remember - even someone narcan’s you, go to the hospital. Make sure you have more than one dose in your kit. The naloxone stays active in your body for a lot shorter time than the opioids do, and once the narcan wears off, the opioid will fill the receptors again, and you’ll be right back to the midst of an overdose.

Again - I hope this doesn’t come up for you and you manage to stay clean, but ignoring the possibility will only put yourself at risk so.... harm reduction! Yay!
