Mine showed up full force yesterday too Nolu.
On top of nursing a violently ill fiance and having to sleep on the couch, I was fighting through cramps.
DO NOT WANT.
Still not the worst birthday ever though
*hugs*
Still, until the highlight of your birthday is spending a few hours attempting to paint your bathroom with really bad primer, you don't win the "worst birthday ever" award.
Nolu, how do you like the Diva Cup? I've read the "instructions" and it seems kinda scary!
I love it. Seriously, it's given me an amount of freedom that I never had before.
LOVE IT. I also find it much cleaner and safer than most tampons (medical grade silicone instead of chemical-laden cloth, no wicking). But I will say the first two days using it was a
nightmare. I almost gave up. There seems to be a bit of a learning curve in pulling it out properly, and it wasn't coming right out the second I wanted it to like a tampon does, so I was panicking. I almost gave up, but then I figured out the trick to it, and now it doesn't bother me much that it takes a couple seconds to get it out.
My only complaint is that mine hurts when I pull it out. I have the small size, which has a smaller diameter than uhm. . . a lot of, ahem, other things. . . so I don't know why it hurts!
But I have never heard anyone else with this complaint, so I think I'm just defective.
