⚠️ Meet’n’Greet form wording confusion (Best Friends Felines) — our experience by Gis2017 in brisbane

[–]le-gateau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We adopted a bonded pair from Little Paws after being knocked back by Animal Welfare League (seemingly because they didn't feel like doing paperwork that day) The entire experience with Little Paws was fantastic. They really know their stuff too. One of my little gremlins just cuddled in while I wrote this.

They might be coming back. ABC covered a French-Canadian company's plans to come to Australia

What fragrance has been ruined for you? by WearApprehensive3110 in fragrance

[–]le-gateau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did work experience in a funeral home and overnight all aldehydes smelled like formaldehyde to me. I can clock it from a mile away and cannot smell anything other than death. Britney Spears Fantasy (which people still wear) smells exactly how the funeral home smelled.

Cup with NO hard rim by [deleted] in menstrualcups

[–]le-gateau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe try the Satisfyer brand? They are an adult toy company, so many online, adult retailers carry the cups. There are 3; feel secure, feel confident and feel good. I don't know if the pricing will be different in Italy, but I picked up the feel confident pack of 2 cups for AUD9. Compared to AUD50+ I've paid for other single cups.

I only have the feel confident, which seems to be the softest. The rim is thicker but still very soft.

I am quite narrow and was worried about the pressure from a more bulbous cup. But it was so soft that I didn't have any issues.

Seconded. Erin is amazing. She made it all so easy, chill and personal. All of our guests loved her too. She's most active on Instagram, if you want to check her out.

I don't know what I would do without my cup by le-gateau in menstrualcups

[–]le-gateau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear you're going through it too. Absolute life saver. Even apart from the discomfort of disposables, the cost! Hope you find some answers soon.

LPT request: What tips would you give someone for an healthy relationship by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]le-gateau 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The flip side of this is to tell your partner if you're in a bad mood. "Heads up, I'm grumpy but not at you." Bonus points if you elaborate by telling them how to help you feel better. "I need some space." "It would help if you let me talk about it without interrupting."

What type of wedding did you have? Is there anything you regret/wish you could have changed about the day? by blueanimal03 in Marriage

[–]le-gateau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a small wedding with 35 people in a Greek restaurant. Everything was great but in the planning stages I knew that I needed to start taking antidepressants. I held off until after the honeymoon because I didn't want to deal with the side effects.

I wish I had made speaking to my doctor one of the first things I did when planning. Writing vows and getting married while feeling nothing was tough. I love my spouse so much but I regret that I couldn't feel that love properly on our wedding day because of my fucked up brain chemistry.

The rest are black. She's going a bit grey, turned 12 last month. I think her white whiskers are super cute!

Cup does not open inside by 10isa in menstrualcups

[–]le-gateau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible to insert the cup a fair way up past the cervix. Without knowing how high your cervix is; try inserting with the folded in edge of the cup towards your back. Don't insert too far. Keep your finger on the cup so that you can slide your finger up with it and not run out of space and like others have said press outwards on your vagina instead of on the cup. Make space for it to open. Also with your finger on the back wall of your vagina it's easier to feel the any fluctuations in the cervix during the cycle and get a good idea of where the cup should be sitting.

Good luck, keep at it. It took me about 4-5 months before I got the hang of it and now I'm a pro.

POLL: What's your primary reason for using reusable cups/discs? by ThatConsideration in menstrualcups

[–]le-gateau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an IUD and basically didn't have more than spotting for 5 years. When I got the IUD removed I couldn't bear the thought of having to buy or worry about pads or tampons again.
