I use Gynotex sponges.

They are awesome. 

Just out of curiosity what do u do when a client wants to stick his fingers in go down?? I just don't work that week. I tried a sponge once and it was so uncomfortable and a nightmare to get out.

I heard the depo contraceptive injection stops ur period but also increases your appetite so makes u gain weight so not tried that either.. . As a result I've lost a few good bookings in that week. Please pm me some ways to get round this x

Been on the depo 13 years and its never increased my appetite or made me put on weight been absolutely fine on it but it can vary from person to person still worth a try though having no periods in this job is very convenient and even if it did increase your appetite if you are careful of the type of food you eat you could eat as much as you want an still not gain weight.

Hi ladies!

I'm in a little bit of a panic as I can't seem to get the sponge I put in back out!
Working during my period and I'm using a beppy sponge but for the life of me can't grab it to pull it back out! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Xx

I ended up in a&e once as I couldn't get a belly sponge out... oh the shame! Xxx

Yes I had to go to the local walk in about a Beppy tampon in January of this year.  The client was well endowed and the sex had been quite frantic ...

They luckily did not know what one was and I just said I had been swimming lol.

I have a low cervix which probably helps, even though I have short fingers.

Tips to get beppy out
First of all try not to panic as that will make you tense up.
Get into the bath or shower and squat down.
Bear down with your pelvic muscles and at the same time reach up your vagina with your fingers.
If you don't feel the sponge, don't worry, this will take several goes until you can reach it.
Keep repeating the process of bearing down and reaching up until you can feel the sponge.
Once you can feel it, it's just a matter of time before you push it down far enough with your pelvic muscles to be able to grab it.

Don't worry about Toxic shock syndrome as beppy doesn't contain the chemicals that cause that. So if you need to go to bed, just sleep, and in the morning it will in all likelihood be easier to get out.

If all else fails, Walk in clinic it is.

I have tried most things. Worst is Mooncup (leaks in PIV and if you get fingered, they can feel it and move it) - best is Beppy - but you need to time it right - only works with medium flow (ie Tampax regular lasts 4 hours sort of medium) and you need to put it in literally 5 mins before the start of a booking and stick to 30 min max bookings. If I use it when heavy (ie Tampax Super only lasts 2  or 3 hours) - it leaks. I have to take out 2 days from work at the start of my monthly. Sammy

The Mooncup isn't designed to be used during sex, do you mean the Softcup? The Mooncup is more rigid and sits really low in the vagina and not up at the cervix so wouldn't penetration be impossible?
