Ok, ladies I'm panicking! My period started now and I really had a bad week and my only bookings are for tomorrow night and Sat and cannot turn them down, I have no cash left lol!
Amy I know it's a repetitive topic sorry !
What should I buy? Sponges? I read so much here and now I'm confused and panicking! How do I use it? Will it work if I'm really tiny and tight down there?
Thanks

I take the continuous pill so I don't have to deal with periods any more, but when I did I would use just any sort of sponge. You can cut up a cosmetic sponge, or use the sort that are sold in Boots for putting on foundation. Or cut up a regular kitchen sponge. Wet them, squeeze them out, and stuff them up in there.
They can be hard to fish out, I can tell you that.

Thanks Kimberly, I read the other thread, took notes and going to boots in the morning.

Gynotex or a bit of ramer sponge x

I would never advice to use sponges etc, it's not fair at all on the client, especially if they were to find out!! It could really ruin their experience.
Period play etc is disgusting IMO. I'm on the implant and don't get periods, but I definitely wouldn't work if I had one! Surely you can just wait a few days?
-
I have used sponges when on just don't allow them to finger while use. And use plenty of lube to prevent breakage of condom. I have been fine since 2011. Only 1 felt the sponge out of many back in 2011 when worked in a parlour. If they do then say well this is what escorts do. To be honest they enjoy RO. I have to be seriously ill to be out of work.

When I did it, not one of them ever found out and I had heavy flow.
And your opinion on period play is just your irrelevant opinion. It's also not pertinent to the topic, as "period play" is when someone deliberately has sex with a woman on her period because it turns them on.

If I could wait I would. But thank you for your opinion...

I'm grateful that there are men in the world who don't find the way women work hideously disgusting. It's natural. I have sex with BF all the time on my period and he's not phased at all ;D
Charlotte - I prefer cosmetic sponges (foundation ones) I rinse myself out first (whether or not that's recommended I don't know...), insert the sponge as high as possible then after I "birth it out" (puuuuush) and use one finger to retrieve it.
-
Yes i use rammer sponges if my period gets in the way of work. I never allow fingering no matter what time of the month and no client has ever found it in all the years I have worked.
And as for comment about it being disgusting, there are lots of things i dont offer clients as it doesn't float my boat but each to their own, as lots of people find sex workers disgusting in general.
You do what's right for you.

I find the Ramer sponges to be the best personally. Don't use to huge a piece though or it will cause you discomfort when having sex. Experiment using different size pieces before hand x

Kimberly, which pill do you use? I'm still finding it hard to deal with my gp here. I don't really understand why it's gp that prescribes the pill... I stayed on dianette since it's the same in the uk but could ask my gp about yours?

Lol;) Chemist, I'm going to have fun taking it out I guess!
When I got my period my libido goes crazy;)! If I don't get any then I could just play with myself ten times a day lol!
Xoxo

Most girls advise rammer sponge so rammer sponge I will buy;) and also foundation sponge;) I got a few days to experiment I guess;)
I won't go to my usual boots though;)

But MD how can you be okay to offer RO when on your period? Not only if the client found out he would probably be horrified, but surely it's putting the client at more of a risk isn't it?

I agree, with a BF it's completely different and much more personal. Period play is a fetish like scat or watersports, so there is always going to be mixed opinions about it.
I just don't think it's fair on the client that's all.

I happen to be on Cerazette (Desogestrel). The key point is a pill that isn't variable dosage: some of them have different strengths throughout the month. You can tell those because they're multicoloured in the pack. If it's a steady dose, then all you have to do is skip the placebo pills that you take during your period and you're covered. In fact, it may we be perfectly possible even with a variable dosage pill to do that, but you may risk breakthrough bleeding somewhere in the cycle. If your GP isn't particularly helpful, try skipping the placebos. The only real difference is that once women routinely started doing this and doctors decided this was safe, they began packaging them specifically to be taken that way.

I'm on dianette, it's 21 pills same dosage then 7 days off pill. Do suppose I do not stop and start a new strip right off then I'll run out too soon! That's the point. I'll ask my gp about yours;)

You can do that, but you'll need to refill your prescription sooner. If you're happy with the one you're on, stick with it. And tell your GP what you're doing so he'll know to expect to write a scrip sooner.
If he gives you any crap, go to a family planning/gum clinic and talk to someone who isn't stupid.

I'd rather die than tell my gp. He knows my sisters. But I'll go to family planning. The medical secret applies to them as well, right?

Hi Charlotte,
I do a similar thing to KimberlyC and take my three month prescription back to back, which works out at nine weeks in real time and have never had any problems. I'm on Microgynon and have never had any problems in asking for my prescription early - I also use the online repeat prescription service that a lot of GPs offer now to save having to go in and explain why I'm asking for my script early

You don't have to tell your GP anything other than "I'm skipping the placebos because I don't want to get my period." End of. If he questions this he's not a good doctor for reproductive issues. He may recommend a different pill but he should be savvy about the ins and outs of all of them. If not - go elsewhere.
It's perfectly ordinary to take pills continuously to avoid menstruation. Lots of women do it for all sorts of reasons.

Don't worry - i'm convinced that you'll be able to pull it off without him noticing at all ;D
Sea sponges are good to use and absorb really well and you can find them anywhere, boots, tesco's, bodycare etc. If you can't find a sea sponge then a regular bath sponge works just as well, you could even use a car sponge lol providing it's brand new and unused ofc.
Cut the sponge in to smaller parts and fold one of the parts in half, wet the sponge segment slightly and lubricate yourself, insert the sponge inside pushing it as far back as it will go. Don't worry it won't get lost :P
I've needed a quick fix on a couple of occasions and it's never failed for me. I've never had a client notice as far as i'm aware and nobody has ever mentioned me being on my period when i were :)
Good luck!
PS, probably best not to allow fingering like mentioned. I use the excuse that i've just had a coil fitted so find fingering uncomfortable at the moment, they don't tend to press the matter x

I've been having a terribly bad bad week. So reading you about the car sponge gets me laughing wild;)))) thanks, it's really good to laugh when life sucks (or shall I say doesn't suck at all)
I've got the foundation sponge in but the guy cancelled anyway. I had 3 guys cancel today. No idea why...

Can the people suggesting using bits of kitchen/bathroom/household sponges as tampons please stop? It's really not advisable as these aren't designed for this sort of use - they can start to disintegrate and fragments then break off, embed themselves in vaginal walls and cause all sorts of problems.
Sponges are fine, but use the ones designed for the purpose or at least the ones made out of the same material (the wedge-shape makeup sponges are fine) or sea sponges which don't contain all the chemicals and plastics of the things you use to scrub pans with :).

Dodgy bits of make up/ramer/sea sponges not intended for vaginal use is not advisable.
It's not just the chemicals that would worry me but the microscopic bits that flake off, lodging in unwanted places for which they are not designed.
On the rare occasion I bleed (which thankfully rarely happens after a couple of decades on the coil) I use Beppy period sponges which I get from my local chemist in Wigmore Street, W1 (john bell & Croyden) but you can also get them on AW & eBay easily enough.

Yes, I maybe should have been clearer about the sea sponges - I was referring to the ones made and sold to be used as menstrual sponges (Sea Pearls was the main one, but I think there's others). As far as I know (brand new) latex makeup wedges are OK, although I'm allergic to latex so I wouldn't have a clue.
As above, if anybody knows other shops where Beppy's are stocked on the shelf it's not a bad idea to add them to this thread - it'll eventually get merged into the main one anyway and they're not that easy to come by outside the internet :).

Great. I can just go there. Thanks
