I was pregnant and my cycle has not returned yet but I think this is going to work for me when it does!

And with that being the case, I still only change it maybe 2-3 times a day and I've never had it leak or experienced discomfort.

They have all kinds of chemicals in them which causes me problems..down there. But what do people do if they are heavy bleeders? That cup looks like it'd work for about 15 mins tops before needing to be emptied. I dont have time for that. And no matter what anybody says, I can ALWAYS feel if something is jammed up inside of me. Even the smallest tampon can easily be felt at all times. I've also known girls who have "sat wrong" while wearing one and it dumps blood everywhere on them....Idk, maybe it works for some, but to me it looks like it would only work for exceptionally light bleeders :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598288805887256700.post-37715947331427741822013-10-16T19:09:05.299-06:002013-10-16T19:09:05.299-06:00Just found this blog.
