Bleeeeccch periods. I had some nightmares with sea sponges in the past. I've had to go to the clinic twice to have them taken out with forceps, so I'm not going to risk it again. Although I know loads of girls who've used them forever! I think I just have an oddly... tight and long vagina/cervix.

I've had a few clients freak out about STI risks with period sex - I'm not sure if there is an increased risk but obviously it's up to them. Otherwise I use black condoms and tell them if they see a little blood to not worry because I'm coming off my period.

KDB - I'm not confusing the two at all. The Mirena coil is much larger than the copper coil. Making it much more difficult/sometimes impossible to fit in those who have not had children.

I got ramer baby sponges from boots, but I still never worked until the last day or two of my period.. I'm just too paranoid
when it's still quite heavy, and what excuse do you use to not let them finger you (coz they'd definitely feel it!)??
I finally got the proper Beppy sponges but I haven't had a change to try them out as my period's stopped for some
strange reason..
I haven't had one for a few months, I've had this before, I didn't have periods for a few years..
I was underweight and depressed and as soon as I was healthy they came back (with a vengeance  ), I don't know
exactly what's causing it this time but I'm not complaining lol, hate the bloody things!!!

Can I just say one more time I have at no point said it CAN'T be done. I said it is more difficult and sometimes impossible if you have not had children. If you choose not to believe me ask your Dr or Gyno. 

(Still only referring to the Mirena, not the copper coil)

I know about the sponge being cut into piece but the smaller the piece the harder it is to get out 

The two times I tried it I ended up in A & E so i'm not doing it again. lol

I used to continue with the booking - sorry, I've started my period this morning, if that's okay with you I'm happy to continue but obviously am letting you know a good few hours before the booking - but I've changed my mind now as I rarely feel good enough to work during my period even if the client is okay with it. I'm on the implant and my bleeding/spotting is irregular as hell, it's ridiculous. I've been thinking of switching to IUD but I can't really be bothered and I'd rather not take the risk of confusing my body furthermore and potentially risking dodgy mental health symptoms... Plus, there's the possibility that the bleeding just stays as irregular as it is now. It's ridiculously annoying, but I'm just honest when I have to cancel because of it. Of course, almost nobody believes me and there are not one, not two, but three separate clients that I have cancelled on twice in the same month due to bleeding - of course, I look like the biggest liar ever. One of them called me out on it and I tried to explain the whole implant thing to them but they just didn't buy it. Why they think I'll willingly lose out on money or not come up with a better lie if I was lying, I don't know.

ok ,on my period especially at the beginning i am wayyy more horny so its a shame to waste it when its good for business!
I put in a "soft cup" diaphragm type thing you can buy at boots and then also for belt and braces approach pop in a circular cut out (about 3cm diameter) piece of boots ramer sponge.I say i dont like fingering (i dont anyway),and despite lots of different positions and vigorous shagging i have never had an issue .
Someone advised if you cant retrieve the sponge to use shower to fill your vagina with water therefore really causing sponge to get heavy and  bulky and easier to get out.Always try squatting over the floor and reaching for it too..lying down it would be impossible!

I always use the dry sponge from beepy , they are easy to put in or out and never had a problem of getting stuck inside. Also you dont realy feel it inside during sex
