Hello everybody,
I was just wondering, as each person is different, how do you cope with that dreaded time of the month? I have tried using sponges and they don't agree with me as find them uncomfortable, the injection has sharper consequences for me as puts me out of action for weeks. I have been on the pill for around 4 years, i used to take them pack to pack but that took its toll and has been disagreeing with me so have to put up with 5 days off a month. I am currently having my 5 days off and its horrible, headaches and mood swings. My poor partner! Any ideas welcome? ???
Love N' Hugz.

By pack to pack, do you mean you took your pills without a break, or just two packs at a time? Even if six weeks and then a break doesn't work for you, you can extend your cycle by a week if you use a marker to keep track of where you are on each pack of pills. I did that and it worked well, then I decided to work up to taking two packs at a time, which worked out better than when I tried to go straight from a four week cycle to seven weeks.

Hello, thanks for your reply,
Ive tried taking 2 packs, pack to pack, but by the last week i start bleeding so have had to scrap that idea totally as it messes me up. I'm thinking implant but haven't heard much about it, I'm not sure if you have periods while on that or not.
Love N' Hugz.

Hi Mak
Everyone is different but i had the implant for about a year. At first my periods stopped altogether and i was delighted but after about 6 or 8 months they were coming every two weeks. They were light but still there so obviously a big pain in the hole (scuse the pun). I ended up going to get it taken out as it was so annoying. Now i'm back on the pill.
Same thing happened to another girl i know too. Apart from that it was fine though so maybe it would be worth trying it. Even if it did just stop your periods for 6 months or so its better than having them i suppose. When you get it taken out you just go back to the usual cycle but sooooo heavy. :-\

Hi,
Have you tried Beppy tampon sponges? You can get them at www.stressnomore.co.uk. They are fantasticand you really can't feel them. Get the ones with lube as these are easier to insert and remove. I also do the back to back pill thing, but I take 3 packs then have a period.
Good luck,

Also try natural sponges, I use to use Beppy, until I was on tour and couldn't find them to save my life in Ireland, so I resorted to using a natural sponge, and I haven't looked back since, for on thing you can cut them to size, and the compact very nicely inside, and are very absorbent. But make sure you serialize it before use, by boiling.
-
I use a diapragm rather than sponges. Insert it the wrong way up and the blood will catch there. I find it best to use tampons the rest of the time, or things get messy. But I've had a diapragm in for an entire night with no problems (though I am fairly light). I find it's easier to remove than sponges, and free ;D

If you don't mind the idea of using your packs unevenly, try what I did and add an extra week to your cycle. Even if you don't move past that bleeding every five weeks is better than every four, but I think if you have a few cycles of five weeks, then a few of six, your body's probably more likely be able to deal with seven weeks.

I noticed someone had put a thread on here a short while ago about the best things to use so you can work through your period. I have tried most forms of contraceptive's over the years (implant's and sponges been the only one's I've not used), and they've never agreed with me. I'm reluctant to try implants as the chances are I'm more likely to have bad side effects rather than good ones, due to my track record, but was wondering about sponges (I tried the coil, and had serious cramps, heavier periods and infections. I'm aware that the sponge won't have an effect on my period or make my cramps any worse, but am concerned about the infection side of things).
Been still quite new as an indie, work is slow at the moment and I can't afford to be turning work down when I'm on my period, and wondered if anyone had advice on the best kind of sponges to use and how effective they are. Without sounding too crude, I have very very heavy periods and usually last between 5 and 7 days, and apart from the infection side of things such as Thrush or BV, I don't want to have an accident whilst I'm with a client. I have a look on the net to see what the best ones might be, and there were comments about using the contaceptive sponge, but it has nonoxynol-9 in it and I don't want to use that due to the increased risk of HIV if you're a WG. Any one got any idea's on what the best ones are to use and how reliable are they.
Thanks

I always work during my period. I use a diaphragm and have never had any 'accidents' - I put it in just before the client arrives and I take it out in the shower after he's left. Can't help with advice for the sponge as I've never used one, but I know lots of ladies use them and seem to get along just fine with them.
-
I can only use a sponge the last few days of my period. Last time i used 2 at the one time as i had only just started my period the day before. I popped them in right before he arrived and after the 2 hours when i went to shower i noticed i had an accident. I was lucky that this client was a little strange and just wanted to sit and hold hands and watch eastenders after a hand job or i would have been in trouble lol.
Sponges are great but not for everyone xxx
-
I also have a heavy flow and can't use sponges. I don't really like working during my period as I am a grumpy cow, and never feel comfortable.
But in the past I have worked through but just offered oral/ hand relief and breast relief, ie anything other than penetration. The majority of clients I told where fine, with just a couple waiting to book when I was back to offering the full works.

Jas i was thinking of doing that but didnt know how to market it.
Do you lower your rates for the week?
Do you put anything on your profile to say limited services or do you wait till they contact you before you tell them?

Oh and SHV,
i use http://www.stressnomore.co.uk/Search/beppy for my sponges. Please DO NOT use any old sponge from the supermarket as they are not designed for intimate use due to the fibres in them ;)

Being new to being a WG, I am yet to come across this problem but when I do I plan on simply notifying the client of the 'situation' and leaving it up to them to decide what we do... i'm expecting a fair few not to mind at all!

Ditto here. Just the idea of trying to get sexy makes me >:(

I just wrote a little note saying something like 'Only xx and xx service the next couple of days gentlemen'. And yes I sometimes used to knock a tenner of normal price but only if someone was erming and ahhing about booking. Most men were not that bothered to tell the truth. Just remind them when they call, some men do have the attention span of a goldfish! And others have your number stored and aren't looking at the website/profile when they call.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I can't work the first couple of days of my period - too heavy flow and pain and my body just doesn't feel up to being groped by strangers as everything is just too tender - my nipples get really sore and just want to cosy up on the sofa nursing my stomach cramps and watching Friends!!! But after a couple of days I use a sea sponge from Boots - I boil it after buying to sterilise it, cut it into appropriately sized pieces and tend to arrive at the appointment with a tampon inside me, then go to "freshen up" and stick the sponge up there just before any action to minimise the risk of accidents!! I've only had an accident once as I had a heavy flow still and the piece of sponge was quite small - luckily it was a regular so he didn't mind.
No infections thus far (touching wood - no pun intended!!! :P )
I find they are most comfortable and easiest to insert if you rinse them with hot water first, then squeeze the water out and get it up there as far as you can :P Also when they are damp like this you can get a larger piece of sponge inside you without discomfort, whereas if they are bone dry they're a bit scratchy and uncomfortable to insert.
Hope this helps!

a few dabs of bio oil is also helpful :)

I've got an implant, and guess which way it effected me? Yup, had my period 2 weeks out of every 3 for the first year! The second year I did go ten months with nothing but I also went dead skinny and didn't feel sexy. I refuse to let my period get in the way of earning money though. I used to have a lot of leakages (nice) and used distraction techniques, low lights whatever I could think of, even denying it could possibly be me and must be the client on a couple of drunken occasions I'm not proud of.
Then I discovered I was using the wrong type of sponge. The ridiculously expensive natural sea sponges (soaked in boiling water then squeezed really tight before using) work a treat for an hour or two and have never let me down to date. You can use quite a big one because they squeeze down very small and feel like "you" when they're inside. And now I don't ever have to have clients leave thinking there's something terribly wrong with them!
-
I tried the coil, and had serious cramps, heavier periods and infections. I'm aware that the sponge won't have an effect on my period or make my cramps any worse, but am concerned about the infection side of things
What kind of coil did you use? The copper IUD? Or the Mirena IUS? I was thinking of getting the IUS when my periods come back (they are MIA at the moment as they are very sensitive to even the tiniest bit of weight loss!) because it it is the lowest hormonal does of any hormone-containing contraceptive and supposedly makes periods a lot lighter or stop completely (unlike the IUD which makes them worse) - but all these things have mixed reviews!
I get horrible period bloat and generally feel like an inflated whale 2 days before and for the first 2 days of mine. I only do erotic massage when I'm 'on'
-
About 3 and a half months ago I went on the Cerazette mini pill as back up to condoms.
I now have 2 periods per month :( The first when the monthly pack of pills ends ( I continue onto the next without a break ). This lasts a week-10 days and then, when my old monthly cycle is due again, I bleed heavier for ANOTHER week ???
It is so frustrating as I am a lifelong mini-period gal - 2-3 days max and a light flow at that..
I never wanted to go on the pill as I liked the way my hormones naturally ebb and flow during the month ( being like a cat on heat for the first 2 weeks or so.. ;) )
The thought of a condom split and the possible repercussions keeps me taking it for now... :-\
I forgot to add; I never stop working throughout any of this. I do what someone else suggested, turn up using a tampon ( which seems to keep back the flow more than pads - even when you remove it for a while ). Then I switch to the triangular make-up sponges which I have pre-boiled and use lube to insert. I am not advising this for other girls though as they can be tricky to grab hold off ( I'm small and know the depth I can get to..ahem! ;) )
Always remember to take nappy bags along if on an outcall - you don't want evidence floating around after you have left..! :-[

Hey all!
I asked about this on the forum about 6 weeks ago, the best response i got was for the sponges and so i tried them. Rather embarrassingly after inserting one i couldn't get the blasted thing out again and had to go to the doc to have it removed! Safe to say i haven't tried since though that was ?15 down the drain! I have the Mirena coil now and it seems to be doing the job. I have a horrid history of issues with contraceptives and nearly gave up completely but the coil seems to be working for me now so i would perhaps suggest looking into that :-)
-
re: COILS ... I've copied over (below) a post I made elsewhere on this forum...
MIRENA - that's the coil that CAN stop you bleeding, but if you're sensative to hormones it might not be a good choice. I gained weight with mine, but it did stop me bleeding for about 2 years.
If you have the COPPER COIL (I have this now, but can't think of a brand name) you WON'T stop having periods, and can cause longer/heavier bleeds, with breakthrough bleeding between periods. As I do ::)
You can be at higher risk of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease with either coil, as the cervix isn't completely tight shut and the strings can harbour bacteria. So if you catch an STI, you're at increased risk of it spreading to your womb/fallopian tubes etc.
The strings can sometimes be felt by sensative partners, and if your vagina is short when not aroused, they *could possibly* be felt near the entrance, if your dr hasn't cut them back enough. I had to have mine cut to less than an inch, as the strings were THERE whenever I used a tampon or went to the loo. So if you feel they're too long, go and get them trimmed.
Hope this helps :)

I use the baby sea sponges and they work fine for me but im not really heavy.
Another trick i do is to use strawberry condoms which are red so if there is a bit of a leak you can not see it as much.

Sounds like your choices are the 'it's x and y only this week' or making a feature of it an offering period play...

I put a special offer on during ladies week for a 15min oral only session and made between ?160 and ?220 a day over the 4 days last week.
-
I wish sponges would work for me ::) my periods are too heavy,guys could cop on anytime.
As for a coil I had a Gynafix two years ago,had it removed after 3 months,as bleeding lasted longer,and spotting in between,horrible.I've just started my course of Yasminelle to postpone my montlhy cycle,will sort me out for a while.
I've recently read about Naproxen,painkiller that lessens bleeding and shortens time of the month.It may be worth a try.
-
Not sure about offering period play. Apart from the mess, theres the cost of new bedding and towels to consider. :D :D.
Not that I have to worry about that with my flow, but a dark-coloured bath sheet on the bed should do the trick. You can use a dark sheet and mattress protector for insurance.
-
I also have really heavy periods, and have to take a few days off :-\ I can use a sponge for the last 2 days, because my flow is much lighter. I'd have an accident otherwise.
-
Personally the beppy sponges do not work for me.I also in the beginning of my period found myself using 2 luckily the client did not want full sex :P
-
I really try to avoid full sex when I have a sponge in, just incase. :-X
-
My cerazette mini-pill has now stopped my periods entirely ( after a 4 month wait )-though I started it for fear of condom breakage/pregnancy horror scare.
Just waiting of the Korean Ginseng to kick my sex drive back into * cat on heat * mode as before.. ::)

I found cerazette drove my sex drive through the roof!
I was literally coming home from a 4h booking and chasing the boyfriend round the house for sex!
-
I don't get on with that pill - it made me really emotional and spotty :-X
-
I don't like taking hormones at all-I had a brilliant monthly cycle before-feeling high as a kite and bursting with energy for the first couple of weeks, comically emotional for about 2 days before my period ( The John Lewis commercial anyone? :'(- will be on youtube ) and then a very light and breezy bleed for a day or so.
Now my sex drive has all but disappeared, well-I still enjoy it, but I don't actively-ahem-'gag' for it :P
Rather like a Vicar being a tad agnostic perhaps? ;D
The fear of a damaged condom or some pri*k whipping it off at the last minute ( it happened to me and I posted a warning about him, though he didn't cum ) makes me feel I have no choice.
I did use the diaphragm for a while, but I found it irritating to insert and retrieve(-though I did wear false nails at the time ) and one client even grumbled about feeling it and when he next booked, wanted to be sure I wouldn't be wearing it.. ::)

-
I just use a hell load of condoms! :-X
In my experience, the best pill is Yasmin. It had no effects at all, and lightened my bleeding alot!
-
I have it down pat, after trying all ways!
Sea sponge is crap, too soft, breaks up when you're trying to remove it.
RAMER baby sponge and diaphram. Boots and Superdrug have Ramer sponges. Very dense, good for soaking up, but very soft. Never had any itching or soreness.
This never fails me now, have done it 1000 times plus.
The diaphram ensures that the sponge doesn't get shoved in too far if if you have a big cock heaving away!
This is what I do -
Starting period, 3/4 of the baby Ramer sponge tucked into the dip of the diaphram. I add a little lube and fold it.
Mid period, 1/2 baby Ramer sponge tucked into the dip in the diaphram.
End of period, but worried about browny/red slime deep inside? I just use the diaphram then.
Red condoms are good too.
Ramer sponges are ?1-2.

i use http://www.stressnomore.co.uk/Search/beppy for my sponges. Please DO NOT use any old sponge from the supermarket as they are not designed for intimate use due to the fibres in them ;)
They're what I use and I just don't work on my heaviest days.
They can actually be reused, provided you're willing to boil them, then rewrap them when dry.
-
Depends how heavy the bleeding is Dexi. If its not too bad what I used to do just before a booking if I had my period (before I went on Cerazette) is kinda douche myself (not with soap just warm water) with a soft cloth and that seemed to do the trick.
If its really heavy I think you are a bit buggered :(
-
The other thing I found about Cerazette unfortunately is that during the first couple of months on it, I had irregular bleeding. After that it settled down and has been brillient for me in that respect.
So that may be contributing to your problems.
-
Dr's can be absolutely useless at times. She's going to give me some other pills, which (she says) should stop me bleeding in a couple of days. I'm supposed to be touring on Thurs, so I guess if things haven't cleared up by then, I'm going to have to cancel. Grrrrrrrr.
It's even more frustrating now then before I went on the coil. I really do hope things sort themselves out in a couple of days. I don't really want to be putting up with this for 3 months. I simply can't afford to turn work away.
Thank you for listening though Mellow. Really appreciate it.
xx
-
I've just picked up my prescription which is to replace Cerazette, and have been given Marvelon. Considering I said to the dr I wanted something to stop spotting whilst my coil settled in and not the combined pill, as it's full of side effects. I can't believe she's given me it. I may worry too much, but fear that it's not going to stop the spotting and I'm going to end up with some unsavoury side effect as well. Completely stressed out now, and beginning to wonder if it's worth just getting the procedure that burns the lining of your womb and have done with it. :'(
-
Thank God for old threads!
Was about to post this morning for help as I have just come on and don't have any Beppe sponges, which is what I would normally use.
Wish the High St sold Beppe..........
My pal has suggested sea sponges this morning and came on here to post to see if there is anything else recommended so thanks Dollymopp, am off to Boots now to hunt out these Ramer sponges! Phew!
Have a good week girls.
Love
Jen

Sorry if I'm being abit thick...but sponges? normal makeup sponges or special ones designed for the purpose of having sex??? xx
-
same don,t know either ha
-
Well! Theres another method of contraception I can check off my list as failed. Having been on the Merina coil for just over 2 months and Norethisterone to stop the spotting, today I went to the loo to find I've started bleeding again (I'm supposed to be doing incalls tomorrow so really p*****off). Why couldn't it have just waited until Wed as I've got an appointment with the dr's (because I've developed polips and fibroids since having it in), to have the damn thing taken out. Felling utterly fed up and frustrated that I can't find anything that works. :FF :'(
-
You know Dexi,
I tried the cerazette pills for one month only...it absolutely drove me insane..I was bleeding on and off for about 3 weeks...out of 4...I just gave up on it..so I am not taking any contraceptive..condoms..thats all ..as stupid as it seems..the pills just made me ill all the time..
-
I really would suggest the Ramer sponges ladies they are round or you get them in an oval shape, they do not break off and you can cut them into which ever size you want. Also you will have no blood coming through and easy to remove.
I am a heavy bleeder with severe clotting too and they are perfect for me.
-
DMD..I have tried it yesterday and it was brilliant...I have a thick question now...are they reusable?
-
DMD..I have tried it yesterday and it was brilliant...I have a thick question now...are they reusable?
Yes, what i tend to do though is not reuse them more than once. As when I used to work on a period, i would take it out between appointments and clean it and leave it to dry out a bit and then put it back in. And I never had BV either.
-
Thank you so much. I am so happy I have "discovered" this...its so much better than tampons...xx
-
go Beppie sponges! Be careful though, they can get stuck up there and one client pushed it so far up that it leaked. disaster! He still payed me though ;D
-
I use Instead soft cup - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Instead-Softcup-Pack-Period-Protection/dp/B0093LLXDK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Instead-Softcup-Pack-Period-Protection/dp/B0093LLXDK)
I can do a full punt on my period while wearing these, except I tend to avoid on the first 2 days when the flow is heaviest, but after that I am fine.
Also, and this is THE main reason I use them, is that they are very easy to remove afterwards - which is something I found impossible with the Beppy and other sponges. Nearly did myself an internal injury many a time trying to drag those things out - not pleasant.
So would highly recommend these - not for really heavy days but 3rd or so onwards for example. Also they don't work out too expensive (link to Amazon above for ref.)
-
I had coil (not cropper) fitted since at the beginning of this month. I had bleeding since the 5 days of the fitting until now. It is normal to light bleeding. But annoying. I tried the beppy sponge which took me half an hour to get it out finally. I was scared that I had to A&E for it. It didn't stop the blood completely. I had some spots on the sheet. Luckily client didn't see it. Will never try sponge again. Hope the coil will work and finally stop my period completely.
I think best way is to offer limited service and not to risk our health and embarrassment.
-
I only have a period once a year due to my depo - old threads blah blah, but unfortunatley this is my week.
As I have endometriosis my flow is v heavy but I was coming to the end and noticed this thread so thought ok, get a sponge and hope for the best. Take short jobs that don't involve touching me. So far so good.
I had a call yesterday from a 3year standing regular, with whom there is no full sex. Blow me if he didnt want hard banging!!!!!
Cant get the poxy sponge out! Never before have I probed myself so deeply, tried flushing with the shower head, trying to give myself intense orgasm.... All to no avail. All through the night had pains in my stomach, pelvis, whether from sponge or probing still v uncomfortable.
So today had to go to the GUM and get it dragged out with forceps - aggghhhhh. The Doc said I would never have managed to get it myself as it was wedged up so high.
Never again, lesson learned!!!

Where can i buy Beppy sponges? I was looking in Boots and Superdrugs...in all both places was told they dont sell this...
They offered me Softcup. And this is my other question: does some one of you ladies use this? how is this softcup?

I use Softcup, but their claims that you can have sex whilst wearing it are a bit exaggerated in my opinion, or rather I'm sure you can have sex whilst wearing a cup but your partner will definitely notice that there is 'something' up there (my bf did). I prefer the cups to tampons, because you can wear one for up to 12 hours. However, for work I still use sponges, and big ones at that ;D

Hated Softcup they can always be felt.

If the guy is well endowed, the sponge can get moved around in there, and there might be blood visible on the condom when he pulls out. Was my experience. I'm considering stopping working while on periods, both because of this and because of not being confortable lying to the guys when they want to finger my pussy (which is something I otherwise allow).

Id urge caution with using sponges .
I tried the Gynotex having sex with my ex - partner. Too small and difficult to get out!
I then experimented again ( sex with BF) with cutting up a baby sponge into a roundish piece ( not ideal but ill come back to that ) . A girl who works parlours tipped me off about the baby sponges and said its what most of the girls use as the gynotex are a nightmare to get out
GYNOTEX
PRO'S- Made out of very soft , non abrasive latex that shouldn't cause abrasion on condoms
Small and unnoticeable by partner . Cannot feel it with fingers or penis.
No leakage or signs of been on period !
Worn high up so even if a person has there face right up there ( ahem) , they cant see it.
CON'S -
TOO SMALL!
A nightmare to remove as they are so small and shrivelled up ( this is only after 2hr wear) .I've had only been able to remove one myself ONCE. I was also terrified of toxic shock or other infections with it been in too long. The doctor gave me a BIG lecture on using them and she said " they shouldn't be allowed to sell these things as they are too hard to remove ". I didnt dare return to the doc AGAIN after 3 visits/lectures and its embarrasing to have a mate or BF have to do it for you. :-[
Id recommend them ONLY if you have another WG or non squeamish and helpfull partner/mate to hand top remove them ASAP.
BABY SPONGES
PROS - Easy to get out ( even when pushed up as far is will go by a big cock ) . I cut them into a round shape at least twice as big as the "gynotex" . Wet it and apply lots of lube to insert. if you get it in correctly and far enough then your partner shouldn't feel it ( mine didn't - couldn't see it during oral either). Easy to get out as the larger size works its way out of the body naturally , and theres more to "get hold of " , doesn't shrivel up like the gynotex do. . . No stressfull sleepless nights or trips to docs with these :)
CONS - The semi abrasive surface can rub against the condom and make it break. :o
Even though my experiments with BF went well I dare not use them for sex with clients as a lady I spoke to had 2 split condoms . . . she is convinced it was because she was wearing a "sponge" and the end of the condom has rubbed against the abrasive surface causing it to split. Also with them been larger they do work there way down and the man may see or feel it if he fingers or does oral . these work well but is the risk of split condom worth it?. Ive also heard its not good for your insides as tiny pieces of sponge can stay in you.
After all that i just don't do full sex if I'm "on" . . . I still work but only do Dom apps or a massage/happy ending/bj!! I offer "period play" but ive never had a booking for it , lost of requests that all turn out to be TW
I don't intend this to be a scaremongering post but i thought it best to mention the cons. The girl who had 2 split condoms is fine now ( STDs checks all clear ) , but it absolutley terrifed her and she had to have a long time off work until she was all clear.
Another tip - RE Removal - is to take into account the position of your cervix ( ask at your next smear or GUM check if you unsure) It took me a few goes with the baby sponge for me to know exactly where to aim for ( some peoples are really far back or to the left/right) , but i got there OK in the end and knowing what the GUM lady had told me about my cervix been "far left" helped
Not tried "beppy wet" , they sound good :)....Will have to try !

God bless the menopause! I didn't start prossying till my periods were all over with. Absolutely fantastic. Who said there were disadvantages of getting old !

Id be happy if i never had another period to be honest ! !
An advantage for sure : )
Some recommend the pil injection which stops periods , i cant risk that though as im after loosing weight and i know that would pile it on!

How are beppy wet for removal ?
I knwo the onlien testimonials praise them, , but i dont trust that :) .
I need to know they are work proof by fellow WGs.

I had a call yesterday from a 3year standing regular, with whom there is no full sex. Blow me if he didn't want hard banging!!!!!
Cant get the poxy sponge out! Never before have I probed myself so deeply, tried flushing with the shower head, trying to give myself intense orgasm.... All to no avail. All through the night had pains in my stomach, pelvis, whether from sponge or probing still v uncomfortable.
So today had to go to the GUM and get it dragged out with forceps - aggghhhhh. The Doc said I would never have managed to get it myself as it was wedged up so high.
Never again, lesson learned!!!
that's what I'm talking about !!
I feel your pain - - - Stressfull , upsetting , worrying and nasty pains that keep you up all night.
I too did the "flush with showerhead" thing , it was advised on the JamSponge site that i came across when googling "stuck sponge in vagina" . . . Site tells you to relax yadda yadda yadda , well I wonder how relaxed THEY would be with a dirty great sponge stuck up their fanny and crippling stomach/bladder pains. . . Then theres the 3 days it took my sleeping pattern to right itself after been up all night .
Just be aware and careful ladies - this is the kind of thing they DONT tell you on the vendors sites
Its why i decided not to bother ...although I'm willing to give mooncup n beppy wet a test run
-
I have it down pat, after trying all ways!
Sea sponge is crap, too soft, breaks up when you're trying to remove it.
RAMER baby sponge and diaphram. Boots and Superdrug have Ramer sponges. Very dense, good for soaking up, but very soft. Never had any itching or soreness.
This never fails me now, have done it 1000 times plus.
The diaphram ensures that the sponge doesn't get shoved in too far if if you have a big cock heaving away!
This is what I do -
Starting period, 3/4 of the baby Ramer sponge tucked into the dip of the diaphram. I add a little lube and fold it.
Mid period, 1/2 baby Ramer sponge tucked into the dip in the diaphram.
End of period, but worried about browny/red slime deep inside? I just use the diaphram then.
Red condoms are good too.
Ramer sponges are ?1-2.
Im been thick here , and this is great advice from Dollymopp .... but the part im confuddled with ( sorry never used a diaphram) is does the sponge go behind or in front of diaphram?
Eg - the guys cock would touch the diaphram and the sponge is behind , the 'phram stops sponge going too far up ? Have i got that right ?
-
Getting the sponge out a few days ago was a nightmare now my nails have gone. At one point all I could think about is going A+E for help. It was lodged so far up. But luckily got it eventually after contracting the muscles with force. Only on a few occasions have worked with bad period pains wouldn't recommend.
-
I use the Gynotex dry tampons and I have been spotting for about a month ever so slightly so have been using the sponge for almost all appointments! Starts getting bloody pricey though!!! There have been a couple of moments where it has been difficult reaching the sponge but never impossible, even after an evening swinging and experimenting with viagra with my partner! LMAO! There's already been lots of tips on removing them to which I have nothing to add, we're all built differently at the end of the day and what works for one may not for another.
God bless the menopause! I didn't start prossying till my periods were all over with. Absolutely fantastic. Who said there were disadvantages of getting old !
I was wondering about the menopause yesterday, LL I'm guessing again we can all vary, but could I ask you if you have experienced any difficulties during and after? I'm still in the process of deciding when to have my ovaries removed (due to the risk of cancer) and was watching Satisfaction yesterday (Australian series set in high class brothel) when one of the main characters started her menopause early and had to leave the profession as she could no longer have sex! :o Sex isn't something that I thought about, or lack of, when I thought about having my ovaries removed and it's going to be a huge part of my decision now!!! :-\ TIA

They're ok. There's a little ring thingie on them - a little loop? - that's meant to help with removal, worked fine for me, but not the best thing ever. I use dry beppys now, they get me through... having said that, my flow is rather light (never use bigger tampons than 'regular') and the whole ordeal last max 4 days.
-
ladies glad you find something that works at those times of the month, *escorts holiday* i have tried things but shall just leave it alone feel wretched enough over those days, no sex drive, bloated and rough and just want cadburys chocolate and not cock !!!!

If sponges get 'stuck' too far up to get out with a shower, fingers etc ... go for a 20/30 min jog or a run, always works.

A 20 minute jog or run! After a session, I don't think I'd have the energy. :)
Hopefully for me periods will be a thing of the past before long, as I'm waiting to have my womb cauterised. For anyone thinking about this, the NHS offer this if you have very heavy and painful periods and if all other methods of contraception have failed.

Lifting heavy weights dislodges tampons so guess might have the same effect with this however not ideal after a booking!
I was lucky enough to have my period whilst I was on my Christmas break, sheer chance because I can't always predict when I'll menstruate and often don't have a period for several months at a time, this time the gap was approximately 6 weeks if I remember correctly. It was heavy so glad it happened on my holiday!

Not after a session lol ..... if the sponge does not naturally come down by the morning I mean ... I find they usually come out ok when I finish that evening but occasionally I have been too tired to finger wrestle with the bugger so left until the morning when I go for a run anyway.
It works :)
-
my sponges never get stuck.....i normally use a baby raymer sponge cut it in half (its made from same material as beppy wet sponge) i then i get a big piece of dental waxed tape make a small hole in the middle of sponge and thread tape through the sponge, double knot it both ends, then shove it all up. when i want to retrieve it, it i just feel for the dental tape string and pull it out....
-
My periods are usually very light and last 3-4 days. I don't offer service like sex during that time also before the booking I use a shower head and flush to stop the periods for a while then I use a sponge. I always warn the client I am on before the booking in case of any accidents or they find it off putting that I am on.
-
Do you work during your period? I have heard someone talking about putting a sponge up there before but that does'nt seem that safe does it??
Any ideas or suggestions would be greattt!! Thank you!! xxxx
-
If its just one hour booking, a shower right before the client comes to my flat its enough to stop my period for at least half an hour, then I can go to bathroom and refresh myself and so on
The only bad part is that I have to refuse receiving oral :FF
-
.. and there's lots of suggestions in this thread.
-
Nightmare isn't it. I'm always heavy and am usually on 5-6days so that pretty much rules me out for a week and as i'm regular as clock work it means i can work 3 weeks then it's a week off and it does have a knock on affect but i'm not comfortable with putting sponges up there ect plus i don't feel sexy at all with my time of the month, sometimes i'm stupidly bloated from it and end up feeling fat and then all i want is chocolate, not a man haha.
-
I have been using the injection to stop my periods. I was sterilised 9 years ago but gave them a cock and bull story and lots of tears about how it was messing with my mental health, and they gave it to me. They are not happy due to my age and want me to use the coil but gonna try and get away with this for as long as I can.
When I did have my periods, I just used to let the client know and say I could only offer face fucking and blow jobs and made a very healthy amount that week without being touched.
-
I used to have the worst periods....period!! ;D Doc offered mini pill took it ha.. have been period free for over 3 years... Some ladies are worried about the lining not being shed... The mini pill stops it growing!! No pain, no accidents and FREE!! Not for everyone but if the reasons above are stopping go for it one of the best decisions ive ever made xxxx
-
Yeah I take cerazette pill and as well as a contraceptive - for a lot of girls it stops your periods!! I feel like the luckiest girl alive. I've heard that for some girls it just makes them more frequent and doesn't agree with them - but it's worth a try, right?! It starts working after you've had your first period on it and then prevents the uterus lining from forming again after this.
-
Oh no not good my belly is cramping bad. I hope it isn't the sign. It makes me so want to not be touched, even more snappy than usual. My tolerance is very low dealing with time wasters. So hot water bottle tonight in need of sympathy. :)
-
For many years I was on depo provera injection and it stopped my period completely.

I stupidly made a non-refundable hotel reservation a couple of weeks ago without considering that I would be on my period, thanks to everyone who mentioned ramer sponges! On day of check-in I managed to find some in the baby section of boots, they were very cheap. Cut them up into a slighter larger than golf ball size and just wedged them up. No leakage (and I have heavy periods!), I changed them every hour or so but I only had 3 appointments that day so it wasn't too bad. I would definitely recommend the sponge technique, although if I ever have to do that again I'll try a method that some girls have mentioned of tying a bit of string ect, I found thr sponge a bit hard to get out. I have fairly well-endowed regulars and their penises really pushed the sponge up very high, wish I had a bit of string instead of having to delve all the way up there! I was shit scared of hurting or scratching my inside. This thread was a lifesaver though xx

I discovered using string causes more problems than it solves. Clients find it straight away. If you have trouble getting the sponge out get your partner to do it for you. Mine used a torch to see what he's doing - lol. I've also got a tame client to do it, but that's another story.

I use the sponges as well and they always get stuck, and after trying and fingering myself for ages, I just put a douche or unscrew the shower head, stick the hose up in my vajajay and the water just fills the sponge and brings it down within seconds. yay...I only wonder how big or small should i cut the rammer sponge as I sometimes worry it might be felt at a fingering with long fingers? I just never know..should i cut it bigger so it covers up more? enigma

Don't let clients stick their fingers up you. I have only a select few I let do that, and I make sure their fingers are squeaky clean too. I always lube up there first and I don't want them to find it for one thing. But more importantly it's a source of infection and I'm very careful. Judging by some of the posts on this forum it can be a big problem. I've been okay so far and I think that's one reason. I don't mind them feeling around the entrance, you expect that, but no further.
-
Thanks hun..I do stress about hands being clean, but yes, you never know...didn't really think much about that..
-
I don't know if anyone mentioned but in the US we have Instead which are cups similar to diaphragms that catch the flow. They were developed to leave in for 12 hours. They can be felt by the ridges. I know porn actresses use the sponge but they have so many chemicals in them
-
I've had contraception injection for many years now and don't have any bleeding. You take the injection every third month.
It's not for everybody, but I can definitely recommend it as it has worked for me :) I used to hate being on my period so that's actually why I chose it.

I have looked it up and it seems very interesting and new to me. I would give it a go and thinking about purchasing some online and play with it and see if i get the hang of it. thanks, always nice to learn new things.
-
in my local boots store you can get "softcups"which sound like the american ones,they cover the cervix and catch any flow.If a client felt it you could just say it was a diaphragm .
I have tried these and found them quite good but i prefer ramer sponge for heavier days.works a treat for me!!
-
I tried the softcups this weekend both with my boyfriend and a client. The boyfriend gave me a "full testing" and said he couldn't even smell the blood or anything! I used it with the client and I was worried that he might find it with his fingers but I just told him I didn't like fingering and it was fine. An absolute goddess send although I think I will just take a couple of days off when I first dstart as I have a heavy flow the first two days.
-
As with the sponges, softcups are great for lighter days.
I tried them with a trusted regular on my first day and it was a "mess". If they even remotely dislodge or move - it is a nightmare!
-
The beppy sponges work a treat for me, iv never had any accidents x
-
I never used to work when i was on my period but one of my regulars told me is quite a big fetish of his so he books me every day of my period and pays my normal rate plus half (his suggestion) because he knows im not really a fan of period play
Luckily he is an outcall and cleans up the mess when I have left :)
-
During my period I do not accept bookings requests.
However, I do not write on my profiles things such as "on holiday" , etc...
When I receive a booking request, I just tell to the clients that I am already full booked and I invite them to postpone the day of the booking.
-
I have ordered some Beppy sponges and sea sponge but they have not arrived yet and I cant afford to have another day off work. Ive not used either of them before.
So anyways I popped to Boots and they dont sell them there so i picked up a ramer sponge as ive heard many girls use them.
What size should i cut the sponge into? I was guessing to cut it into 4 quarters? Im on day 5 out of 7 days on my period so its not too heavy. Even coming on was a surprise as i just started the Depo injection 2 months ago to stop my periods, which it has done in the past.
Thanks for any Help Ladies x
-
Well i have just give it ago, i decided to cut it into 8th. One good this by tensing my lady muscles with the wet sponge inside.....i can squirt! :D Guys are gonna love that lol x
-
Omgosh this made me giggle!! And I've been thinking of trying these so good to know an 8th works!
-
I was wondering this myself ??? just bought one today as i came on today and realy need to work as i go away in 3 weeks and have ended up paying out more than i intended too at home and not saving as much as i should have, always the case :(.
Anyway im going to try this tonight with hubby and if it all goes ok then i can go back to work tommorow. I normally take my totm off but going to have a go, so you reccomend 8 pieces?
xx
-
lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D

lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D
What, you're supposed to cut them up? ;D
-
lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D
I think i might try the 2 or 3 as 8 looks a bit small and i dont want an embarassing trip to the walk in centre lol x
-
lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D

;D ;D ;D
-
Update: OMG, 8th was too small! It took me forever to get it out! I don't particularly like putting fingers inside myself as it is so had to get a couple of latex gloves on and try to grab it.
And my blood partner was no use at all, any other time his fingers are the first thing in there but when it came to grabbing my sponge he ran for the hills! Oh we'll might keep him at bay for a while and give me a break, hehe.
Although I say the 8th were to small, when the beppy sponges arrived they were just as small. The sea sponges are much bigger. X
-
lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D

hahahaha @amy ....i know lol, but i just cut the boots raymer sponge in half, then push it as far up as possible. i tried cutting it into 6 pieces once....far too small for me to get out..had to go to the clinic......the nurse had a amused look on her face, like she trying to hold in laughter. from that time on...i always cut it big to avoid embarassment.
-
lol i cut mine in 2 halves, im paranoid of them being stuck. ;D
Seriously? OMG Is there any space left for them to stick they're willy in? Don't they feel it?
I cut mines up into 8 bits and even at that I am paranoid at them feeling it.
xx
-
I cut mine into 6 pieces and put loads of lube in and shoved it up there, then without doing anything lay very undignified legs in the air while my hubby was peering in trying to see if he could see it ;D but i must admit i chickened out and never actualy used it, instead took a few days off . There is always next month ...... xx
-
This thread is funny! ;D
I think I'm going to stick with softcup lol
I find that I struggle getting that out at times as I have small hands(I cant even reach my own g spot but hey ho we all have out cross to bare lol) let alone a sponge!
-
I have a feeling I have a very shallow canal and was just wondering if anyone had actually had a guy feel one and get all annoyed/weirded out. I have to work tomorrow and its just started today NIGHTMARE, never used one before and im pretty nervous. :FF ???
any advise and ill love you forever

Hey Jamie :)
I use Ramer sponges cut in 6 pieces and haven't had any problems with leakage, clients feeling them, or getting them stuck.
Haven't had a client feel it with fingers, I just ask them to not put fingers inside. If a guy feels it with his dick he should think it's part of you. If you're worried about leakage you could always use a black condom as well. I've done it when I had light flow and no sponges and there was nothing visible.
But remember we are all different - don't know how I decided on a 6th, just cut half into 3 pieces and they looked the right size. Good luck xxx
-
I use these. They are much better than messing around cutting up sponges, and they work really well.
http://www.joydivision-international-ag.de/index.php?id=131/
-
If the Ramer is the small round style then yes quarters or into 5 or 6 would be fine. If its the oblong slightly larger one then no way, there will be no room in your fanny for the willy. 1 or 2 inch by 1 inch at most should be enough and make sure its pushed up lengthways at an angle so its positioned over your cervix and right at the top. Be careful though, girls who are small down there find them uncomfortable and can have difficulty getting them out, I have known more than one have to employ a friend and their fingers or a trip to A&E to remove it.
You don't need a very big piece if you position it correctly as they are very absorbent but big enough to be able to get out afterwards and do change between each booking, I know that probably sounds obvious but I have heard some right stories about sponges x
-

Can you buy these in the UK? I couldn't see a link to purchase them anywhere.
-
There's something almost identical on Amazon. I ordered them.
-
Beppy! That's what they're called! I ordered them off Amazon and they arrived in two days.
-
Beppy come in wet or dry!!! Any recommendations on which to choose?
-
Not to get off topic, sorry mods, but has anyone here ever used a moon cup?
-
Right, I've merged this one with the original Big Period Thread, as it's all pretty much the same thing ;D.
As far as mooncups go I didn't think you could shag with them in (I've never seen one but I'd thought there was a pokey bit at the bottom) but somebody here is bound to know :).
Beppy-wise, I'd recommend the wet type but then again I've never tried the dry ones. Do you just soak them in water?
-
Have used Moon cups for years but never for shagging. They sit far too low and should have a little nip cut to the right length to pull it out. I find if they are pushed higher they leak so they have to be placed as low as possible. Not sure how you could possibly work with them unless you offer some kind of virgin experience.
Had a long booking yesterday that I could not really cancel because of all the planning gone into it by the client not to mention expenses and my period started at Monsoon strength. I ended up using several sponges. Jaysus never again. Was exhausting getting them all out hours after. Pleased to say though mother and sponges are well... ::)
-
tried the soft cops looks like the cap with cling film type middle would not recommend as one size for all had a touch of leakage and it was only a gentle one hour booking :( used contraceptive sponges there no longer available in uk but can be shipped in tad expensive but reliable
-
Hello girls
;D
I have this 3hours booking today..BUT i dont know what is going on with my period.Had 2 times in 1 month and usually my period is for 5 days..Now im on my 14th day so im going in 1 hour to my doctor he says that he will give me pill that stop the period..Anyone have do this?and if yes in how much hour the period stop?
I have only one beppy sponge left and i have a lot of blood...either can go buy one (dont live in London and the sex shop here that i find have order it)
what to do i have in 5 hours this booking :/
-
It sounds like the dr may prescribe you Norethisterone, but it wouldn't stop your period in a matter of hours. It usually takes a day or so to kick in. There isn't a pill on the market that will stop a period in a matter of hours as it takes several hours for any drug to get into your bloodstream if taken orally.
Also if you're having irrigular periods it's best to discuss this with him, as if you are already on the pill, that might be the problem.
You can either go out and buy some more sponges or ring your client and tell him that you can only offer a limited service (unless he's into period play and you're happy to go along with it too), or cancel for a later date. Best to let him know and give him the option before he starts to travel to you.
-
Hi, new to this are the sponges safe to use?
Im bleeding a bit have a booking tomo night, sat and sunday need the money! what to do?
thanks,

OH NO?I definatley didnt mean work with them. I just saw them advertised online ages ago and they always struck me as a little odd. Having a tiny cup in your fanny. I wouldnt dare go out with one of them in I'm sure, what if it squeezed out and it all tipped over :o :o
-
I use a moon cup and it is mostly fine. leaks no more then tampons and I have found that I get a lot less cramps now that I use them. It can be gross tho when you pull them out and you hear the blood splash on the toilet. That took some getting used to :P
-
I'm on the contraception injection every 12 weeks in a butt cheek, haven't had periods in 2years :)
-
I think it's hilarious that some men are shocked - SHOCKED!!!! - to find out that many prossies will work during their periods. If they can't tell, then what's the problem? And the assumption that we should reduce our income by up to 25% just because of something that can usually be successfully concealed is absurd.
That said, I take the pill without pause in order to avoid having periods. If there were to be any sort of spotting, I have those sponges that are sold on Amazon (they're sold as alternative tampons) and they work great.
-
when I'm on my period I always use sponge nothing comfortable, it's horrible girls, but works and careful with positions can be tricky to take out the sponge ;D
-
I've had the same problem (implant playing up!) they put me on the pill so far its working well I've not a period so far even during the break. It takes a day or two to start working so you may have to use a sponge in the mean time
-
After having problems with irregular bleeds when changing pills I discovered some great sponges, just ?2.99 for 12-Tesco Beauty Cosmetic Sponges, use once then bin. Wet them wring out put as far in as you can but only if you know you can get them out again-Bare down and remove using two fingers, is a bit fidly but I find great and no leakages x

A tempting option can be the cheap one but when it's going to sit in your vagina for an hour or more it's ideal to use specially purchased sponges. Natural sponges have small fibres than can break off and cause infection, and cosmetic sponges are often bleached and contain nasty chemicals that could irritate such sensitive skin. Beppy sponges (available at the Harmony sex shops in London, Amazon or the Stress No More website) are the only specific tampon sponges I know of - it isn't worth chancing it with other options if it can be avoided I'd say.
is this Harmony shop open every day?
-
I'm pretty sure the Oxford Street one's open every day including Sundays although I've only ever been in the one on Walkers Court :).

thanks Amy, was asking because it seems to be closed now . where is Walkers court?
-
Well it's closed now because it's nearly midnight :).
Walkers Court is in Soho just off Peter Street - if you don't know the area you're probably as well to check on Street View but the shop's easy enough to spot.
-
;D
-
Are the ones from amazon no good?

I ve just came back with my Beppy :P
Both shops are open,
this afternoon i am going to try :)
-
There is also Gynotex sponges which come in wet or dry. these are designed specifically for period useage. I find the dry ones a bit better than the wet ones but each to their own. They are 5 for ?6.99 from most online chemists and you can also buy them in Lloyds chemists as well
-
mmm..i am not finding the Beppy very easy to remove..
was thinking about a dental floss to get a grip..did anyone try it?
thanks x

I would not think so as they re not made for this so may have fibres that will break off and rot inside you causing infections. It is always safer to only use things inside your vagina that are meant to be inserted and left for there for periods of time. After all it is going to be in for at least an hour isn't it?.
They may be cheap but have you ever left one in a warm glass of water for 20 minutes and then rubbed it? Bearing in mind our Vags are warm and damp and the sponge will be rubbed by a cock. Little pieces tend to flake away. Not something I would fancy happening inside of me.

I agree I want to be so careful with what to use so will try the beppys. I lost out on a regular 3 hour booking tonight due to a bit of bleeding thought id b up front with him as he loves going down so was bound to notice then he asked me if i would still see him at a reduced rate?
Didnt want to do that incase hes being cheeky and is actually a messy player :P
What would you girls do?
xx
-
i had the implant put in a month ago and have just got a bit of bloody d not even a proper period :FF would the beppys b suitable for use on very light bleeding or do they work like a tampon it will be hard to remove if dry?
x
-
they got the wet ones and they are lubrificated..but i am not an expert at all :FF
how do u find the implant ?
-
I use a wet piece of sponge that is easy to come out even with little blood on it.
-
Thanks,
Implant has been fine so far this is when I would be due on and seems to be a bit lighter than normal so far.
Have heard alot of girls get irregular, frequently bleeding though so hopefully that doesnt happen to me
xx
-
I only have experience maiding, although I'll be a wg soon. The girl I maided for had the injection in the top of her bum and that stopped periods. However, when she forgot one injection it made her periods really erratic and she had to take 3 weeks off. No way would I ever have that. Ibuprofen is supposed to make the bleeding lighter apparently? I would never, ever work through my period unless it was just doing hand relief/massage etc.
-
Tranexamic acid will stop bleeding. See your doctor, say youre erractic or painful/irregular and its affecting your day to day life. Its a prescription but you take it as and when bleeding starts x
-
I use softcups that u can buy from boots. Works good for me no client has noticed so far :) xx
-
Im so glad I dont have periods lol!! X
-
Mollyescort, without sounding nosey, how do they not notice? What happens to the cup when you're doing the business? I dont know if I'd risk it but thats just me :-[
-
CocoChanel, noone has mentioned it so far :). Using them only in emergencies, usually when on period i take time off work. U are supposed to be able to have sex with them, its says on the package :) x

i have a coil fitted and have no periods at all. thought i will say i am getting to wards the upper end towards menopause i am nearly 50
'i've had the minerva coil for 5 years and had no periods or side effects from it. I will say i think you have to of had a child to have the coil thought don't quote me on that

-
I usually charge extra for A levels. I just offer complimentary A levels on my period and keep working but just regular tampons...
-
I've had irregular periods since my late teens, sometimes not having them for months at a time. The contraceptive implant has increased this for me, so I probably only have 3 per year, often they'll coincide with holidays or days off. Funnily enough flying brings it on. About twice a year I cancel my bookings because I've gotten a period that's too heavy(even when it's happening it's often nothing more than the odd 'spot' once a day) and happens to be a day with advance bookings.
-
Yes I do it, I only work about 2-3 months a year so I cant lost these days

Just to clarify, you CAN have the mirena coil if you haven't had children but fitting it can be more uncomfortable (I have had 2 children and have to have it done under general anaesthetic now for various reasons), and as it's a 5yr contraceptive they prefer to try other methods first on women who are nulliparous. It seems to cause either very heavy bleeding or nothing at all like myself & Rosaley! (Sorry for blurb, background in healthcare) xx
-
Have to agree The Mirena is Fantasic!! :) No more fuss ever again.
-
I tried the softcup last period, it was great!
-
Hi I bought the beppy sponges (dry)..is it safe to use for an hour booking?its the 2nd day of my period so quite heavy..thanks
-
I used to use sponges but then had a copper coil fitter last year and had a accident pulling the sponge out (grabbed 1 of my coil strings) so haven't used them since I just offer period play and tbh im busier when im on than off lol my phone rings constantly and there's just not enough hours in the day to see everyone
-
hi
i will say i was offered the coil instead of being sterilized as i didn't want any more children and my hubby is alot younger than me.
anyway i didn't find it a problem having it put in. the doc i saw was experienced at putting them in apparently it not simple i think they did numb the cervix a bit with some gel stuff. but ive had no periods and no sign of any what so ever( but i am 50 in nov.) for five years.

-
I must be the only person who finds it embarrassing telling a client its that time of the month...possibly due to having an old fashioned mother who doesnt talk about things like that pmsl. I havent told any yet, Ive just stopped working for a week. Also buying condoms and lube...total nightmare. I dont get them sent to the house in case someone else opens them. Bizarre tho, considering the job Im in! ;D
-
I've tried the Beppy before, which worked fine... until I had to get it out. It was up there for 3 days before a friend convinced me to let her take it out. It was quite... traumatising, to have it up there for so long. I would have gone to Emergency is she wasn't able to get it out, but from her angle and with her nails it was easy. I'll have to try some of the tips here to get it out again next time.
At the moment I'm just skipping the sugar pills of the contraceptive. I'll do skip them for 3 months, and then "let" my body have a period. I'll be off for a full week with a heavy period, but it's better than dealing with it every 3 weeks. Stuff that.
-
Just a quick question. I was told to use wet wipes instead of a sponge when I'm working during my period. Are baby wipes better than a sponge
-
Hi I have had to use a sponge (baby sponge cut in half with lots of lube.) often hard to get out later on but works brilliantly. when you need to work and have just come on !
-
Hi Girls,
I wonder how you coped when you are on your period?
I read a book, which suggested latex squares (boiled to soften) as non latex disintegrates.
I can't take The Pill and obviously don't want to take a week off. I'm still new to this so any advice would be appreciated. I am quite sensitive and don't want to use anything that might cause thrush or discomfort.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hun
I have my period at mo - this month its horrendous super heavy and Ive got a stomach ache and headache from hell so Im not working for a few days :(
However on previous months Ive just offered massage and oral - most clients are understanding when you explain you,ve got the monthly and accept and/or rebook for the following week for full service.
Ive heard a sea sponge is an option. Im going to try and get one tho im not sure how easy it is to get it out. Red coloured condoms are also a great idea I saw here,
Hope you have a good week :) xx

Lucie, have a read here, its very helpful :)

Im thinking of mirena. Used a sponge for the first time the other day omg it felt so weird and uncomfortable, like it was too big for me :-\
-
I use sponges but remove after each booking. I find they dry you out a bit down there though compared to normal so nowadays I put a thin layer of the vaginal PH balance clear gels on the outside of the sponge before inserting it. Not too much of course but it also makes it easier to insert. I have a coil and I have never had a problem with the string being pulled when I remove a sponge. I also dont buy a special one from one, I just buy the Ramer sponges then pop a piece in fresh boiled water to soak for a while then dry it. Im starting to think I must have a caste iron fanny as i never have a problem with these sponges nor with shower gels etc down there (another thread somewhere else lol)
-
Ive just started using a sponge - it has to be a special sponge, not a normal one. The clinic gives them out free. I dont feel comfortable with it in, it almost feels too big inside me. But it does mean I can carry on working.

Have you tried cutting it down to be a bit smaller? We are all different and we all use different size sponges. I have seen girls in parlours cutting anything from a tiny inch by inch size piece to a 3 by 3 inch piece. The size makes all the difference towards your comfort x
-
I thought loose bits might come off it while its inside me, but yes Im going to try it now. Im not confident at all with it - myself and another girl both had sponges in when 2 men turned up and we did one each. Without sounding personal, lets just say they were gagging for it (dont know if theyd both come out of jail or something) and sex was very hard and fast - I couldnt find the sponge at all afterwards, it was like it had disappeared into my cervix. I panicked like mad because Im quite shy about going to hospital asking them to take it out!!! After 10 mins I managed to get the thing out. I ll see the other girl tomorrow so I wonder if she had the same problem lol, she mentioned she thought it had gone in really deep. I hope they cant cause an infection or anything. :-\
-
Hi, if you can't feel the sponge it probably means its gone just above the cervix so you may have to hook a finger around if you can, some can some can't. If you squat down its easier to reach sometimes or a foot up on the side of the bath, some girls find a soak in a bath or a warm shower helps to bring it a bit further down a bit.
Don't leave it in there because yes you can get an infection if its left in too long. Just like tampax, a few hours for a long booking is fine but I wouldnt leave it any longer than that.
I agree re the pain, you definatley have your sponge too big. If you are careful with the cutting then there wont be any little bits to be left inside dont worry. Try putting a bit of vaginal moisture boosting gel or just lube around the outside, helps it slip in easier x
-
I don't think I am actually aloud to put a link here, but while I was doing my condom shop on Freedoms I found GYNOTEX a wet or dry tampon shaped for safe comfortable sex. So any of you ladies who work while mother nature takes hold of your reproductive organs, beat her off with these :D
-
I'm kind of freaking out and I need some help ladies (or gents..)
I use sponges during my period most of the time so I can carry on working, but I ran out of beppys so went and bought a ramer, came back from my booking and now I can't find it ???
I've tried squatting and baring down, I've tried sticking the shower up there to try and soak it so it slides down a bit, and I have been in just about every position imaginable trying to reach the damn thing.
This part is embarrassing - I can feel something spongy but I'm unsure if its my vagina or the sponge.. and I don't want to pull on it too much in case I injure myself haha. You would think by now I would know what my vajayjay feels like, but apparently not. Going back to beppys from now on..
Any more ideas that don't involve me heading to a&e?
-
Just want to say thanks for the advice girls - I did cut an inch off and its better. So glad I don't have to miss a weeks wages now!! Also, squatting down for sponge-removal is v good advice as it makes the 'love tunnel' shorter so everything is easier thank God.
-
I take the combined pill which is 3 weeks on then a weeks break for a period. For the 6 months I've been working I've been taking two or three packs of the pill back-to-back, meaning between 6 and 9 weeks of taking the pill and then a week break for a period.
I've researched this and checked with my doctor and there's basically no problems or side effects of doing this. There can be some breakthrough bleeding but personally I haven't had a problem with it.
When I do have a period I usually just take a week/5 days off and let my legs have a little break from shaving, but I also have gynotex but haven't used them yet.
-
It seems like I have perfected my own no mess method to work during my period yesterday. I used a round natural sponge about 1.5-1.75 inches in diameter, folded it into 4 and shoved it up my vagina. Then I inserted a softcup for added protection. Works perfectly and there was no blood or leakages during my appointments, including an overnight MMF threesome. I was even able to get wet naturally without any traces of blood.
None of the clients seem to have felt the softcup but then again, thankfully none were particularly well-endowed. If they had been able to, I would have used the diaphragm excuse as previously suggested by another member. I didn't allow fingering.
Just sharing :)
-
I find many want to finger when on my period some thing that avoid.
-
I think I am going to order some sponges online tonight, I have no idea when my flipping period is due, it isn't regular and never has been, even when I was on fertility meds, so I can't plan for it. I'll see if the clinic will let me have any, I can call tomorrow and find out but the next clinic in my area isn't til Wednesday (problem with living in the sticks).
-
Its probably best to use beppys... an its very normal that you cant get them out at first, its super awkward. I just wait for a while, jump a bit up and down and then it will lower itself naturally... Still weird to get them out, just be patient.
I always order mine online. You can get big packs for much cheaper... Very handy to have for that one booking you didn't expect to have your period.
-
I'm trying a sponge for the first time today - nervous! ??? :-[ :-\ :-X
-
Morning,
I use Ramer Baby sponges, the round ones. They do not break off and are easy to use and cut into the shape you need. If your sponge moves too far up the best way to get it out is to sit on a toilet have a wee, your muscles will relax and the sponge will drop to a point where you can hook it out.
-
My period started yesterday, a few hours after my meet finished, so I am trying my Beppys today. No more meets til Monday so hopefully I will have got the hang of them by then, or my flow will have reduced a lot. I am doing hotel incalls Monday and Tuesday, do you change sponge between clients or not bother?
-

The good thing is with a sponge that between meets i tend to take it out and wash it, rinse it out (i know it sounds gross) but no more than two appointments before changing i tend to get irritated down there if longer.
-
I'm sorry but that really does sound gross. Why not change it after each client? I mean its not like you rinse a condom and use it again...
I think you shouldn't be cheap here, they are paying for a clean service and if you want them to come back to you, maybe consider investing in more bebbys...
-
There are some sponges that are reusable, I think they're called sea pearls sponges, also mooncups are reusable, you just rinse those out and pop them back in. It's only menstrual blood after all.
-
Yeah that is pretty gross...sorry! I change mine after each client.
But each to their own. :)
-
Help!! Sorry for reviving this thread, but I've just started my period :FF, and I've got a few bookings this week
that I really don't want to cancel!!
So I'll go down to Boots/Superdrug 1st thing tomorrow and get some Ramer baby sponges, but I've got a question,
my cervix is really low and to the left, how do I get the sponge to cover it and stay in place and the client not to notice??
I mean with my cervix being so low, and to the left, will the sponge not just go up beside it somewhere ???
Lol, sorry, I'm confused...
Please help, I've been through this whole thread but didn't come across this particular problem..
-
I'd try a mooncup if I were you Siorse. They're cup shaped so it should fit around your cervix and not budge too much. All my friends who use one say they're great and they're never going back to tampons haha
-
I'm sure the sponge will be fine - no woman's vagina is that cavernous that a sponge wouldn't cover the cervix, even if it's not dead straight!
-
Lol thanks I'll try it..(the sponge) Coz they'd be able to feel a cup wouldn't they?
I'll let report how I get on..
Although I'd rather have a day off, really don't feel like working! :(
-
I'm brickin it!! Ive got the Ramer sponges. how big does it need to be?? Aw fuck it, if I have an accident I'll just kid on my period just started and I'm as surprised as him lol ;)
I need the money, desperately!!
-
Hmmm, I've always wondered about this, but how do you get any of the types of sponge back out? I have petite handsand fingers so can't reach high up in there. Back in my civvy days a condom magically disappeared and had to get him to fish it out as I couldn't reach it! Lol.
Interesting to know that our cervix's hang differently, lol, explains why my tampons never end up straight, the end up what feels like horizontal! Haha.
The moon cup sounds interesting, might give that a Google!
Cheers girls! ;D xox
-
I read most of this thread and it seems a few girls have had trouble getting them out lol, but you just fish about and
hopefully manage to grab hold of a bit and pull it out.. ;)
I ended up not working the last couple of days, my period was just too heavy and I didn't feel like working and wasn't
too confident about the sponge!
Just got told by someone I've been slagged on some punter forum (I'd rather not have known), read that, and feel even
more self-conscious..
So I'll have another day off and try the sponge tomorrow, hopefully should be ok by then ???
-
Couldn't work while I have mine and the thought of it freaks me out. I'm on now and turning them away when I can't really afford to with Xmas though I do have mirena and it only lasts about 3 days wish it would go away completely though the way it did with my last mirena :(
-
I'm the same Molly, I'd never do this work when I'm on. I only just came on yesterday, I suppose its a good week to have it though! ready for the Christmas and New Year time.
-
My period lasts a full 7 days, and I didn't work the first 4 days of it.. I was planning to, but I just couldn't, didn't
feel well, felt very much not sexy, and was paranoid the sponge wouldn't work.
Did a few bookings at the end of the week, with the sponge but if I didn't need the money so bad I wouldn't have!
Back to business as usual now, but it was hard getting back to work for some reason!!
-
Hi ladies, what shops in London can I get a sponge from please? Don't want to buy it online as I need it urgently.
Thanks

To tide you over, you could have a look at cosmetic sponges in Boots.

Both of the Harmony sex shops sell them, and I think at least one Boots does - if you use the Search box or read back through this thread it's come up a few times :).

Am I the only one who's period seems to go on forever?? That's been a full week, and it was pretty light, but I'm on
my 8th day and I'm still not back to my "normal colour"..
It's driving me nuts! :FF
PS in times of need I buy Ramen baby-sponges from boots, they're only about ?2 and they work ok if your period's
not heavy..
-
For anyone who is interested I'm on a fairly new pill called 'cerazette' (there is a generic form of it now too) and it completely stopped both mine and a friend of mines periods. It halts ovulation.. my idea of heaven in this job!!! ;D
-
Isn't this (and the opposite of lots of light bleeds) a common side-effect of any progestogen-only pill?
-
Isn't this (and the opposite of lots of light bleeds) a common side-effect of any progestogen-only pill?
I'm not sure but I have tried other mini-pills and this is the only one that stopped them entirely rather than leaving me with irregular periods. I haven't bleed in several years now.
-
Help I have unexpectedly came on and I have a booking this afternoon, thankfully it's only light (fingers crossed it stays that way), the problem is that I haven't had a period in 3 years due to the implant so have not needed to have sponges or anything on standby.
I live in a village so there are no shops that do the sea sponges, do I just wait till I get to where the booking is and pop into a Boots and put it in in a public toilet or the hotel bathroom, or do I just go for the strawberry flavoured condoms (which won't work if the client is above or below average.
-
Buy a baby or cosmetic sponge from Boots or any shop xx

After a heavy period this month, I realised it clashed with a meeting. I rushed out to buy a pack of beppys (for the first time). Although I was a little apprehensive about it going unnoticed, it worked like a charm during the booking, even though it was quite an active one.
I skipped home delighted..
then I got home and couldn't find it.. :o
It was like a magician's hat, completely vanished. :P
It took a long shower, and some douching to find the tip of it!
That aside, once it was safely retrieved, I'd definitely use them again, its just a shame that they're so expensive. Maybe the sponges are the way to go!
-
Really, couldn't find it?? I must admit I've never used a proper beppy sponge, but are they not quite big?
maybe that's the whole point of them lol, that they're inconspicuous, coz I've been using Ramen-baby sponges and you can
definitely feel them with your finger..
Really must invest in some proper beppy sponges!!! :)

Me too, ramer sponges are amazing in an emergency when you can't get anything else, I switched to boots botanics sea sponges as they're meant to be more vagina-friendly but I feel more secure with Ramer sponges even if they can leave fibres inside me and clients might be able to feel them.
Can anyone compare Ramer sponges with beppys? Beppys are far more expensive but I don't want to continue using Ramer if they can be harmful?

Yeah, at first it looked a bit daunting, especially compared to a tampon, but you moisten it slightly, either with water or lube and once it's in you don't feel it :)
I don't normally work during my period, and if I do it's normally towards the end when I've pretty much stopped, so despite a lot of girls here mentioning them, it was a bit of a revelation when I tried it!
xox
-
Yeah, same here, wasn't very confident with them at first, and I wouldn't use them if I was on my heaviest days,
but they're great for those last few days!!
I just kind of try and avoid fingering, but sex with them is no problem at all!! They didn't notice a thing!
(well I think they didn't ;))
I've yet to try the proper beppy ones, but I'll definitely give them a go next month! :)
-
I got my period this morning quite unexpectedly! I was so stressed because I had hotel booked for couple of next days and booking already lined up, but I used baby sponge and worked out perfectly. Luckily, because my periods are so heavy :P
-
I've had the most rubbish week, haven't been able to accept one booking, as have been honest about having a period. Since I had the contraceptive 3 month injection last week, I have now had a period for 8 days, and it shows no sign of abating! I am not sure what to do now, whether to wait and see if it finishes over the weekend or get back to the clinic? Anyone got any experience of this? Thanks.
-
A period can last upto 10 days, if you are still bleeding heavily at 11 days make an appointment with your doctor. If it is light or spotting then it is a common side effect of the injection and you'll just have to wait it out.
-
I came very close to finishing for a few days due to my period. The sponge is awkward at times plus want to blob in peace lol.

I am on the pill and only have when finish the pack for three days. But you can take not having a break for your periods to become less of. Maybe a change in conception will alter your periods. It looks like it doesn't agree with your body.
-
Thank you both for that.
It was finally becoming lighter for the last few days and took a booking (repeat client) yesterday, thinking I would get away with it, then just before I was due to go, it suddenly got heavy again! How unlucky.
At that point I had really had enough and rushed to the chemist to buy a sponge, and was amazed at how well it worked. (Had a good laugh with my daughter, when I explained what I was doing with it.....the things you have to do for money!)
Anyway, thank goodness, I've finally started earning this week. Have another booking today, so that's not too bad! ;D

I had a client and when finished notice a bit of blood, not sure if he noticed anything. Was few days early.
Another client later so used cotton inside as had nothing else.
Client did not notice anything, but I could not get thing out and did end up in hospital to remove it.
Got the sponge to be prepared next time and worked well. Next day went for dinner date with regular, when got back I
was heavily bleeding, which doesn't happen that often. The sponge did not work.
Was honest and explained, was very embarrassed and told him that, was happy to give him some money back, but he was very understanding and spent some time talking instead.
The sea sponge is really great, so next time I am planning to use it again if not bleeding too heavily.
-
Rather than cotton, if you ever get in a situation that urgent again use a baby wipe. I've done it a couple of times in the past and they do the job. A bit fiddly to get out but no hospital required.

The sponge is good for shorter bookings say 1 hr and 30 minutes as it cannot absorb much. I buy any sponge is just as good one was 99p. For some reason when on my period clients want lots of squirting. By passing the sponge is challenging, 😊
-
Before I was using progesterone pills to stop my periods I
plugged in 2 tampons sideways and they never noticed...
But when I was 'on' every man and his servant
wants to stick his fingers upside....
Is it pheromones or summat ???
-
Hi i get mags bad ones and boots tesc sell some sponges that are quite condense (there in a sealed packet ) either?1.09 or?2.09 not sure but having a major period at the moment and they are working near enough perfect I cut the whole end off and insert with curve up but quite a large bit, bit like a make up sponge but with, they seem to hold it back !! But I did have a bit on condom and just said "000h that's just a bit of spotting because your so big",,, hope this helpxxcx
-
Been bleeding lightly for TWELVE days now due to new contraception. I've been working with nothing in (wear a super heavy tampon then wash/baby wipe inside myself just before sex) and it's left a barely noticeable red tint on the condom. I just try to remove it for them. It's driving me crazy! No one ever wants to finger me except when I'm on! Got a ?5 sea sponge from boots. Going to insert that and see if it's less messy. Going to the doctors on Monday to sort it out.

Guys who have removed the condom themselves have either not noticed or not cared about the bit of blood. I wash/baby wipe the inside of my vagina again inbetween rounds to stop the blood really coming out. I experimented with the sea sponge today and there was no blood at all on the condom. It was an hour and a half booking and I went to the bathroom to check for blood and there was nothing getting past the sponge. He fingered me and didn't feel it because I shoved it right up around the cervix.
-
I tried the coil, and had serious cramps, heavier periods and infections. I'm aware that the sponge won't have an effect on my period or make my cramps any worse, but am concerned about the infection side of things
What kind of coil did you use? The copper IUD? Or the Mirena IUS? I was thinking of getting the IUS when my periods come back (they are MIA at the moment as they are very sensitive to even the tiniest bit of weight loss!) because it it is the lowest hormonal does of any hormone-containing contraceptive and supposedly makes periods a lot lighter or stop completely (unlike the IUD which makes them worse) - but all these things have mixed reviews!
I get horrible period bloat and generally feel like an inflated whale 2 days before and for the first 2 days of mine. I only do erotic massage when I'm 'on'
I have had the mirena coil for a couple of years. Have not had a period at all in that time and no stomach cramps or anything.
-
If you suffer from heavy periods you can get something from your Dr called tranexamic acid. Check it out on line it stops the bleeding or is supposed to it worked for me as I have had horrible heavy flow after some abnormal cell in cervix treatment. But I was prescribed them years ago when the injection just made me bleed
-
I suffer from depression and each type of the pill has had adverse effects on my mental health so the pill is out for me.
The sponge is too big and weird. I can barely fit in a penis half the time in there anything else and a penis is just too much.
Only thing that worked for me is Tranxemic Acid. I love it so much.
-
You should consider a Mirena coil, Selena - a bit uncomfortable to fit, but it's brief, and they're worth their weight in platinum (being tiny, gold isn't enough...) I have fairly light periods so a normal copper IUD is fine for me, but the Mirenas can cut periods dramatically.
-
Kay - the Mirena coil is the same drug as the minipill so that will lead to the same problems for Selena. It's also almost impossible to fit unless you have had a child.
-

That's not my experience at all. Both my old gyno and the new one regularly fit childless women with IUDs (I have copper myself), and I know multiple other people who use Mirena despite being childfree and under the age of 26. Considering how common Mirena is around here, it's a far cry from impossible.
-
Mids, as Lynx said you can easily have an IUD if you haven't had children, it's just perhaps a little more painful - the sounding and then insertion via the cervix is a very specific and unusual type of pain, but bearable! I know from personal experience, having had it done twice. I took a diazepam and co-codamol the first time, nothing the second.
And it is the same drug, but as it's only released into the uterus and cervix, it doesn't act systemically, thus you don't get the same level of side-effects as with the oral product.
I'll hold my hand up and say that while they're not for everyone, I'm very pro IUDs: no drugs, no side-effects (bar the initial discomfort and heavier periods for 4-5 months with the normal copper one), and they're virtually foolproof so long as they don't dislodge - and that normally happens in the first few weeks, when you should go back for a check-up anyway. Even if it were to fail at the first hurdle and a rogue sperm got through, no egg/embryo can implant. And they last 5-10 years!

You cut the sponge to whatever size you need! There's no way I'm suggesting that you fit the whole sea sponge - the size of a large man's palm- into your vagina.
I'm glad you found something that works for you though.

Sorry to sound dumb but you seem to be pretty knowledgeable on iuds, with the Minera is there also a chance or heavy bleeding for the first few months? Once I get my periods back I'm thinking of having one fitted as I have pretty much the same issues with the pill/sponges as selena. Can't get a strict answer out my nurse. Experiences anyone?
-
I didn't say you couldn't have an IUD without having children. I said the Mirena coil is almost impossible to fit if you haven't had children. Note the word 'almost'.
-
Mids, OK, but I'd still argue that it's actually fairly easy... :)
Happy, I don't know personally about the Mirena, but yes, I think you possibly have heavier/irregular bleeding for a while (probably not as long as with a normal IUD), and then your periods will start to lessen.
-
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.
-
Kay - the Mirena coil is the same drug as the minipill so that will lead to the same problems for Selena. It's also almost impossible to fit unless you have had a child.
I think you are confusing the Mirena with the copper coil. I have never had children and everyone I know who has one, hasn't either.
However, they are not without their risks and a biofilm of stubborn bacteria can knock you out of action for weeks while they work out what antibiotics to give you.
I speak from experience and am having mine out as soon as I get sterilised in the not too distant future.
-
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.
-
My copper coil fell out of my body when I was on the toilet after about a week of having it put in...
-
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!!!
-
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.
Actually, that depends entirely on the copper IUD in question. My old gyno used three different brands - all differently sized and with different 'staying power'. The availability of various brands seems heavily country-dependent (guess it's down to which ones are medically greenlighted), but it's absolutely not a uniform thing.
Also, I'm the only person I know of who uses copper (it seems to have a generally bad rep) - all other folks I know use Mirena.
-
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 always work when i'm on, but that's because i'm greedy and want the money. I use sponges, in a pinch i have been known to use a make up sponge from boots terrible.
Getting them out is sometimes a nightmare. x
-
I know about the sponge being cut into piece but the smaller the piece the harder it is to get out :FF
The two times I tried it I ended up in A & E so i'm not doing it again. lol

'Almost' and 'sometimes' are far from the same, but that's just arguing semantics at this point. To address your second point. Reason I am arguing the point is precisely because it contradicts the experience of both of my med professionals. Expulsion rates seem to be higher in women who were never pregnant, but that's quite different from inability to insert.
Reason I brought up copper IUDs again in my post is because there absolutely are brands that are sized the same as Mirena, one of the most popular ones, and the only one properly available in the US (Paragard) actually being larger than either Mirena or Skyla.
-
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.
-
Wow, kiera no wonder you couldnt get it out, I was reading about this sponge thing you can get and I wouldnt ever dare put it far up there and have sex with it in, I would be terrified of getting it stuck, how the hell do you get it back out after its been shoved in deeper with sex? haha I guess I am quite lucky I have a light flow as Im on marvelon pill, but yeh first couple days of period I dont usually work unless the client likes me a lot and is a good regular client & they dont mind im on then I don't unless I feeling especially sensitive. Most of time I cant even tell im on though as I get no pain anymore or feel wishywashy and more sensitive like I used to. But I don't have loads of clients every single day anyway. I earn enough and get enough work atm just from the times I am not on my period.
-
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!
-

The two times I tried it I ended up in A & E so i'm not doing it again. lol
Well I'm on 28 day pill so no period but I can spot occasionally. And then I put sponge.
Now I used to think it had to be a tiny piece obviously and yes, once I had my flatmate digging inside me for it, she had those looooong nails and it helped her get it out:))))
Now recently I showed to a fellow member here what size I cut the sponge into and she just laughed crazy:))) So now I cut it a bit bigger and I can get it out just fine. Note: Ramer baby sponge, it's white and round, it's a pack of 2. Also I put it in just before the client arrives and get it out the moment they leave.
-
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
-
I use a natural sea sponges. I get it stuck & struggle to get it out. Its' very uncomfortable scraping them out with my thumb at the wrong angle :-[ I've got diddy hands so cant reach. I've used tweezers before to try & yank it out too :-X Oh the suffering of us women. Men don't know they are born.
-
I am using the dry beepy for many years and all fine. To insert them just make them wet with warm water and push them in. They will stay on the right place without moving.
The wet one personaly i don't like them as they are with lubricant and they move during sex
hi just a quick 2 questions, so clients are not aware your using anything inside you and how easy are they to get out ?
As far till now nobody notice the sponge inside. They are very easy to get out even with long nails
-
No man has ever noticed or mentioned the sponge or the softcup when I've used them.
-
Well I use the dry bebe sponge tampon but didn't know you should wet them first :-\ . Maybe they will work even better lol. I use tramaxic acid when I am heavy(which I am prescribed) then pop a sponge in as I pop to the loo and pop it out. Been brilliant having just had my period this week. I brought mine from Amazon. Is that the cheapest place to get them?
-

Make them wet with warm.water and you can fix them better inside.
I use once the wet ones but did not like it, they are to lubricated and move inside during sex. The dry ones are the best
-
Hi its my first day working with a sponge in
i got the soft tampons ones
i dont think its in there far enough but i got a client for 1:30
im excited and nervous
what if he says he can feel something
lets hope he has a small cock
ill update you guys later
also its my birthday tomorrow!!
-
Happy birthday for tomorrow!
How did it go today?
I don't know what "soft tampon sponges" are as I've only ever used natural sea sponges. I had one client notice once whilst fingering but most of them don't bother with that & if they do I stop them, saying I've been scratched before so don't like it. If you forget to rinse it can be in issue with blood on the tip of the condom, if they notice that.
-
it went well i had 2 clients none of them noticed so that was good
thank you very much im really excited
there cool they even have a litttle hook to help get them out
-
Glad it went well.
I wonder what they are made of, something synthetic I imagine & I'm allergic to most synthetic things but a hook sounds good. I'm often getting mine stuck.
-
lol ive got mine stuck but ive got fake nails on and i dont want to scratch myself to get it out so im getting in the bath and going to get it out that way
but i feel much more comfortable then if i have a tampon in
-
Could you tell me what brand they are and where you got them from? The fact it has a hook to get it out seems good! I've had to go to the clinic twice to get my sea sponges out of me so I'm never trying those again.
-
Sitting in the bath definitely helps.
I think I've used a douche in the past too to get them out & an ex BF used to help with that when I used them with him.
Beppy sponges are a brand I've found on google Lucie.
-
Thr wet ones from beepy are like that
-
Sounds like the OP was talking about the Beppy ones, you can get them on the internet Lucie.
Does anyone let clients finger you when you're using one, I don't really fancy that idea coz they'd be able to feel it, but what excuse do you use for not letting them?
Other than telling the truth, coz I feel like I should tell them that I'm on my period and using a sponge before they book, which would a)defeat the purpose coz they might not want to book when I'm on my period, and b)would probably a lot of lengthy,frustrating conversations because they've never heard of sponges..
I've only ever used Ramer baby sponges at the end of my period, coz I really don't feel like working when my period's still heavy... (and then I tell them if they try and use their fingers not to bother, as it doesn't do anything for me, but I don't know if that sounds a bit cheeky! ;D)

Ohhhh okay. I didn't ever try the beppy ones as I was worried they might be like those natural sea sponges and get lost in me, but if they have hooks then I would like to try them.
If you normally do let them finger just say something about it feels a bit uncomfortable today? Which wouldn't be far from the truth tbh because I find that fingers are way more uncomfortable than dicks lol

They don't need to know that. I think it would put them off. First few days are a no go for most ladies, but they say sex helps with period pains. Tell them fingers around the outside.
I don't let client stick their fingers in. I had one guy spreading me open last week. I hate that. I was worried he may have seen the sponge up there lol
My periods are weird, it seems to dry up on day 3 then comes back on day 4 & lasts for 7 days but very light towards the end.
-
hii theres called soft tampons i got them on amazon
-
hii theres called soft tampons i got them on amazon
Thanks, I will check them out and give them a try.
-
I always use wet feiminine tissues instead of sponges, I find them harder to feel for clients ;D
-
This is very odd but as some people mentioned the hook that came with them. A (blunt small) latch hook does the trick, is safe as rhey are blunt and smooth and easy to sanitise.
(So glad I don't have periods as a couple of people did notice on me, i found turning down fingering awkward and was far to paranoid to allow oral. You can cut them up to make them smaller if worried about being felt. Scared the bejesus out one guy when he found a sponge.)
-
I dont. I use that time to update ads and blogs, buy whore stuff, post "new" pics...
-
For me when life was just getting exciting and I was loving my new life and job the painters are in ( too much info ) doesn't it just stop you in your tracks lol so for me im thinking a little night of reading stuff on the forum and the tunes on and do you know what girls its Friday a wee glass of vino ching ching x :D
-
I never knew we're supposed to stop working when the painters visit lol
No one told me. ;D
But nice to have girly days isn't it. ;)
-
Lol, I always try and keep working when the painters are in but I just don't feel like it when it's at it's heaviest.. I feel grumpy and
un-attractive and the last thing I want to do is be nice to a guy and suck his dick or have sex with him when all I want to do is lie and
veg out on the couch... :(
I only work the last few days with a sponge, and even then I'm not all that comfortable..
But it can be done..!!
Enjoy ur girly night tough lol, beats working when the painters are in IMO!
-
Hi everyone, I really need to work but my periods are due any day now. I've tried to use cotton wool pads (the ones used to remove make-up) in the past but It got stuck and I had to go clinic to get it removed, it worked though and the clients never noticed. I read that I can use a baby ramer sponge I've seen it at the shops but the question is do I put the whole thing inside or do I cut it in half? I'm thinking to put the whole thing inside so that I could get it out when it's time but I'm scared that it will get stuck inside but I desperately need to be available for work. :( thanking you all xx
-
Start big. Get it wet with warm water. Use a dido to shove it in well. If it's too big, trim a bit. Repeat until you find the right size..
-
......when I'm on my period and can only offer reduced services when I tell guys this they say they will leave it or call back and of course they never do whilst other days when not on period I can have quite a few bookings which are bj/hj only?!
I've tried those sponges once and had a major panic as took me forever to get it out so that put me off for good, so just hope it's over and done with a.s.a.p!
-
......when I'm on my period and can only offer reduced services when I tell guys this they say they will leave it or call back and of course they never do whilst other days when not on period I can have quite a few bookings which are bj/hj only?!
Yep, its the way isn't it :FF. Maybe its because of ovulation, women give out sexy vibes on their period even through the profile pics!!
-
I used to get this all the time... days of bookings where 80% were hj/bj the I'd get my period and suddenly men with giant penises would want penatrive sex...
I'm seriously thinking it could be pheromone/hormone related, or just a big case of sods law.
(how did you mention to clients you were on limited service btw? I used to just go with it and use half a sponge for short bookings without telling guys on my period. But as im currently not offering sex at all (bv and its itchy af) I need to find a way of telling them on the phone.)
-
On the phone I just said something along the lines of "sorry it's the time of the month for me today so I wont be able to offer a full service but can do bj & hj"
After years of not doing 15 min quickies yesterday I even made a point of trialling a new 15 min service just offering quick bj/hj for ?10 less than my 30 min rate but didn't even have any takers for that
I wish I could've got to grips with sponges but just can't pluck up the courage to try them again lol
-
New chap wants me to text when I'm 'on' for red play. ???
-
If you forget to rinse it can be in issue with blood on the tip of the condom, if they notice that.
Which is what black condoms are good for disguising!
Also great for anal, just in case... :o
-

Unusual, but not THAT unusual. I actively offer period play myself, there tend to be takers. ;D

Hi Girls,
Having rather stupidly given myself two periods in one month by buggering up my HRT pills and struggled to get both of the above out I wanted to ask for any tips or advice as I'm really sore afterwards.
After a day on the job, it so well wedged up beside my cervix it's like a military operation and it hurts trying to hook it down. I have long nails, which I think helps and I squat on the floor and use my thumb and first two fingers but it's just a nightmare!! I feel like I'm trying to give birth :FF I used both brands to see which one was best as Beppy have a 'hook hole' but it's as useless as a chocolate fireguard.
My friend said there are plastic tweezers you can buy from the vet (I've no idea what they're for) but I'm worried I'll do more damage :-[
What do YOU do??
-
Tweezers sound scary! Are the plastic ones totally blunt of something??
I had a kinda wide leg squat position in shower (Idk why but seems easier in hot shower?) And seriously push! At the same time sort of slide one finger up the side of sponge and kinda smoosh it sideways. Much easier to get if it's past/on one side of the bend/cervix.
It shouldn't be hurting much though, how many hours are you keeping it in? Is it hurting when it's in or just from scrapping around getting it out?
So glad I don't have to deal with this anymore.

It's the scraping around HH. My cervix is tilted backwards so might be more of an issue. The 'sideways swipe' doesn't work for me. Sounds like a crazy dance move lol ;D

I have only ever used a natural sea sponge and had no problems.
boots.com/en/Natural-Sea-Sponge_1275764/
They are a bit more pricey than others, but worth it. They don't rip apart when pulling it out. I've heard of other girls getting their cheaper sponge stuck or ripping apart when they need to get it out.
The natural sponge comes out with ease and you can wash it well and reuse it. It's natural so it shouldn't cause any problems to your body.

I had this last week when i was doing 4 fully days and on day 2 i get my period I was not a happy bunny.
I could not cancel my bookings so i just made sure I was extra clean I would never mention my period. never.
one of my regulars asked if i had a tampon in and he still wanted to go ahead knowing I was on my period.
Trying to get sponges out is just a nightmare. the mention of the plastic tweezers is a good one i see we have these often in medical places.
Worth having instead of being scared of having my sponge stuck up there and the thought's going threw my head of 'what if i don't get it out what will i tell the doctor' while i frantically try to grab it.
-
I don't if I'm too tight or using the wrong way, but I tried everything, the soft cup the sponges, I can't seem to get them in.. I tried cut them into small sizes but then it just feels absolutely horrible and unbearable :FF :FF
-
I've bought two pairs of plastic tweezers (5inch super-grip handle)and I will report back on my findings and on behalf of my friend ;D
-
Ladies, no matter how far up you put the sponge, just sit on the toilet even if you have to wee over your hand, two fingers up and grab it, when weeing you tend to relax your muscles which releases the sponge.
-
I personally don't see clients when I'm on my period.
I've heard a lot about sponges and different techniques but I would just personally not work throughout that time.
It's unsanitary and I would be way too scared of having an accident!
The other 3 weeks of the month I'm good to go!! ;)
-
I have very heavy periods but use Tranexamic acid tablets, which I get on prescription and one or sometimes two sponges . I only had one accident and that was when I forgot to take the tablets. I agree with fluffy bunny about removal that way work a for me if it has been a particularly vigorous session
-
I've recently started the pill to stop my periods - the one without a break that you take every single day. Been taking it for three weeks and had an unusually long period; went on for 6 days as opposed to usual 2/3 days. Apparently this is normal in the first few months of taking it, but the idea is I won't have periods from next month (fingers crossed). It's not for everyone, but was recommended as a contraception to stop periods by my GP. I did fib and say I was in a 'new relationship'... (sort of true but never said these relationships were multiple, ongoing and short term for cash ;D)

Lois just love that lol.

Very true though Lush ;D

So glad I figured out this dilemma. A cup of Anise tea the week before AND of, painkillers round the clock, and frequent changes of pads/sponges/tampons. Ps make sure you have feminine spray to combat any smell
-
My periods aren't regular, so I never know when I'm going to come on. I booked a hotel for two days for this weekend and have clients already booked in. And of course I came on my period last night. So I have the beppy tampons lined up. Will just have to see less clients than usual
x
-
I couldn't/wouldn't use sponges, and never work during my period. But I have to say, this month I am really gnashing my teeth: I've turned down so many genuine-sounding blokes that I could have had my best week in ages. It's like I'm emitting a pheromone that's attracting half the men within a 30-mile radius.
Of course, sod's law dictates that come the weekend when I'm back in action - tumbleweed...
Roll on the menopause?!
-
I am so scared to use sponges as I have always had problems getting it out. I have a really small opening so I don't know. I tried pissing, squatting in bath, shower head, pushing like i'm giving birth, laying down. :-[ I just can't do it. Think I'll just wait till day 4 of period when I'm really light and use red condoms. ???
-
I find if you take it out straight after sex (after they've left), it's easier to get to it because you're already pretty open. Although sometimes if they're big it pushes it up a bit farther than usual.
I'm currently working and using beppy tampons. I just couldn't reach one, so while your fingers are inside, if you sort of push your muscles as if you're trying to wee, the muscles do move it down just enough while you're tensing to grab it. Sorry for the gory details, :-*
-
Wow I don't know how you girls do it.
I just couldn't work on my period, I hate hate hate it, I get cramps like there's no tomorrow and I turn into the devil for 4 days!
What's strange I've found though is I can bee at my absolute horniest when I'm on my period! So frustrating!

This has gone well (not!!!!) - I forget to take the pill yesterday and mother nature (bitch) has visited me today :FF
Had one booking earlier (another thread) and after he left and I showered, there it was!!! Big ball-ache as I'm in a hotel from tomorrow until Wednesday...grrrr!!!
-
If I could find a magical pill that stopped my periods altogether I would take it tomorrow.
I couldn't work on my period, it dosnt feel clean.
-
Sponges never worked for me :( well it stops the blood but if having sex with a client...no, does not work, it was so embarrassing.

Sounds like a good story. Its my worst nightmare so please describe. :o

Right, this is just a lil whinge - I ordered some (wet) beppy sponges off Amazon, although it didn't say how many you got in the box. A little over ?16. They arrived today and there is 8 in the bloody box. How extortionate :o
I assumed there was going to be 30 or so in the box, but oh no, there's 8 :FF I'm sending them back out of protest!!
Anyone know anywhere cheaper?
-
Sending stuff back to Amazon is a pain in the bum, isn't it? Considering that for ?2 you could earn more than ?100 by working when you otherwise wouldn't, they're not bad value, surely?
-
I hadn't looked at it like that Kay, so thanks for pointing that out; very wise and very relevant actually, considering the bookings I have had to cancel due to irregular periods. If they don't suit me then I don't have to order anymore. Thanks again - I might leave my protest to amazon for another time ???
-
This might sound gross but I reuse them. I mean, I'll make one last an entire period. Just rinse them out carefully and let them dry on the sink overnight. You can give a little soak in Dettol (rinse thoroughly) if you want them sterile. It will be OK!

I always buy beppy Tampons (the dry ones, though. I always just run them under the tap before inserting), and I have never even seen them advertised for this much. Even on Amazon.
Here's a couple of links for cheaper ones. 8 in every packet. Dry and wet:
cocooncenter.co.uk/beppy-soft-comfort-dry-8-tampons-without-string/24353.html?currency=GBP&gclid=CIqipqSznckCFc-6GwodfIMHIA ( Dry - ?4.89)
farmaline.uk/health/order/beppy-action-tampon-classic-8-items/ (dry ?5.28)
farmaline.uk/health/order/beppy-action-tampon-wet-8-items/ (wet ?10.28)
There are delivery charges, so perhaps order a few boxes to make it worth it.
They're not the cheapest tampons in the world, but just think about how much you'll be making per beppy.

I seriously wouldn't recommend this. Obviously each to their own. But at the price per one, seeing how much you'll be earning per one, I wouldn't risk thrush or falling ill. Sometimes I go through 4 or 5 in a day depending on how busy I've been and how heavy my flow is.

The germs on our fingers when we stick any tampon up ourselves are horrendous, and we don't get ill. The only additional factor is our own menstrual blood. There's nothing really wrong with washing them out and reusing them. A bit of dettol will definitely kill anything before it dries overnight.
But, I am admitted cheapskate. I will decant Asda bubble bath at 70p a litre into Molton Brown bottles!

Yeah, each to their own. There probably isn't anything wrong with it. But I'm a bit of a germ freak. I'm sure there's no problem doing it, but I still wouldn't recommend double using a tampon.

Diluted Miltons sterilising fluid (the stuff that's used for sterilising baby bottles) is probably a better option for things that come into contact with the body.

That's craziness. Try the dry ones, they're almost half the price, and I find if you wet them first, they're not much harder to insert :)

Thanks Roxy :-* I should have done my research into prices first clearly, but because I'm an avid amazon shopper, I figured I'd get the best price. I went for the wet as info on the dry ones says they are for experienced sponge users, but I'll defo try the dry ones and take your advice ;D Thanks again hun x

Hi guys, can I ask how easy these are to use and how effective? I used the recommended cellulose sponges last time... Um inserting one of those was definitely an experience I'd be keen not to repeat!! ::)
-

I've always used them, and I would always recommend them to people. They're very easy to insert. Just wet them, squeeze them into a little ball and push up as far as you can reach. I use them even when I'm at my most heaviest flow, and even then as long as you change them between each client, there's no evidence of blood even on the condom (once or twice there has been, but that's only when the guy insists on having sex for most of the hour, so it was easily explained away by saying he must have made me bleed slightly). The greatest part is, you still get wet when you wear them, and it's still clear (no traces of blood at all).
They're easy enough to pull out (easier if you take it out as soon as the guy leaves, because you're still open enough to be able o shove a couple of fingers up to reach it). If you're struggling to get it out, just sit on the toilet for a while and sort of squeeze your muscles as if you're having a wee, and they do move down slightly. I've heard some people say they struggle to get them out, so sometimes you really need to just dig around a bit until you find it, but I've never had that problem. (But I do have quite long fingers)

Effectiveness is going to wary depending on how heavy your flow is.
They are marked as regular absorbency (2/5) tampons. As a person who needs to use 4/5 or 5/5 during my heavy days, I 'punch through' them in under an hour, and that's without penetration. With penetrative sex in the picture, I go through a single one even faster. I've also had some slippery blood clots push right past the sponge - it doesn't seem to catch very thick/coagulated blood all that well well. Needless to say, I no longer work on my heavy days. ;D
On my lighter days, they last the same amount of time a regular tampon would.

Wonderful advice, which I've taken. Had a moan on here about beppy sponges as nearly ?17 for 8!!! (sent them back). However, after doing a bit of research, I found gynotex - 30 for ?13; they're sponges and after a right panic with the first one yesterday (felt it got stuck and my fingers went into spasm), getting todays one out was easier. The bearing down and relaxing advice is the key...also the douching and leaving it for 20 mins or so allowed it to travel down naturally. Yesterday I was terrified thinking what have I done - today I'm really confident in their use, so good luck ;D

Hey all!
I have a quick question, a few days ago got my period, thought it would be light and simple and I would still be able to work, but unfortunately today its alot more heavy and I'm worried I'll bleed right through my sponge :(
And I'm in need to work at least a few days this week as I have to make enough to move out into my new apartment :'(
Does anyone have any advice on working through a heavy blood flow, is it possible for me to double sponge it just incase it does bleed through? I'm not even sure I could fit two up there haha but I would like any help please!!
Thanks you! Xo
-
Well depends how heavy and how long the booking is. I have 1/2 heavy days during my period and sometimes I can just tell I won't be able to work, other times I can do up to an hour on those days.
This is what works for me. Around 15 minutes prior to the booking I shower, douche thoroughly and put a tampax in. Then just before the booking remove tampon, douche again then place 2 tampax lengthways across the bottom of the vagina. Then I place 2 pieces of sponge I've cut to fit, again lengthways over the tampax.
This has worked for me without fail. Amazingly none of the guys seem to notice, even when fingering enthusiastically (although if in doubt I distract them away from that).
However if your flow is extremely heavy I'm not sure what to suggest.

It may be just me, but I don't cut the sponges and I've not had any visible bleed even though when I bleed, I'm quite heavy. Possibly the absorbency is greater in one whole one as oppose to two separate ones as no gap (if that makes sense). Plus, I'm assuming getting one of the pesky blighters out is easier than two smaller ones ;D
-
I used the good old sponge trick whilst on my period. I took it out but it must of ripped in half whilst removing it without me realising. After 4 days of strange smells & stomach pain I saw the gyno. Needless to say I was very embarrassed when the forceps revealed half a sponge with 2 nurses looking at me funny! I'm now on 2 sets of antibiotics incase of any bacteria & can't have sex for 2 weeks incase of pelvic inflammatory disease. Never again! Just a warning girls. Make sure it's out! Xx
-
I have used natural sea sponge in the yes. Yes it got stuck, yes I had to go to A and E and get it removed. Highly unpleasant!! From now on i'm going to go on the pill and just take it three months straight. That is what the lady recommended. I do not recommend it unless you have a friend around who is comfortable going up there if you cant get it out yourself! x

Hi ladies
I seem to be getting more frequent periods as I am 52 (oh the joys of an approaching menopause!) not sure how to use the Beppy saw the video but not sure whether to a) wet it first b) add lube then insert?
Also it looks quite BIG how on earth does that squeeze up into the cervix?
Not going to try them out this week but may need to know for future use!
Any light you may be able to shed would be appreciated.
I have dabbled with the sea sponge but as my period was so light on those days I didn't need to use it at all in the end. Even that I had to cut in half.
Does anybody find they have to cut the wet Beppy tampon too?
Thank you in advance. :)
-
When I used them 20 years ago I wet it, folded it half and slid it in. I then pushed it further in as far as possible by using my fingers. I never used lube.
-
The wet tampons have lube on them already, so you don't need to add more unless you want to. They don't go into your cervix, just up to it - I don't use them often but I do them exactly the same way as Helen said and bar one time I had a job getting one out again (which there's loads of tips here about) I've never had a problem with them :).
-
Sounds encouraging cheers ladies.

I'm a similar age , so similar issues , they don't stop and start the same , sometimes they can just start so I use beppy sometimes just in case but I squash it up and then use a vibrator to make sure it can't be 'felt' but I can get them out , usually can get a bit of an edge and wiggle it down ...I'm guessing if you had a bath and got it wet a bit it may come down easier, but I did read it's better to take out straight away as everything's more open and muscles are more relaxed ;)

I get so so ill on my period so I just don't work :-( it sucks x

On days 2 3 and 4 I get clots so don't think I would risk working then unless the guy just wants owo and anal.
I was thinking to work from day 5. They seem to be lasting longer these days and although I can reduce their length by taking homoeopathic (in my extensive stock at home) sometimes it leaves a mere trickle then hard to know what the heck to do. So I may just stop taking the remedies unless they are still heavy on day 5 so I can then work from that day on.
To be honest I don't feel full of the joys days 2 3 and 4 but don't mind the odd bj then. At least I am not bedridden so am thankful. Sympathies to those of you who are during the monthly curse!
I went to the hygienist this morning she was saying it is a sign of good health to be still menstruating in our fifties I told her that I take lots of supplements etc. Apparently periods keep us lyounger for longer and may prevent osteoporosis! At least it has some benefits .....
-
I get bad clotting too , it's like the chainsaw massacre sometimes , I went to my gynaecologist and he gave me transamic acid, which didn't help much then mefanamic acid which he said would make them lighter ....it's a strong anti imflamatory but it reduces flow but you have to take with food and eat really sporadically and they gave me an upset tummy, can't really take even ibrufen as it irritates my stomach but they definitely helped , I have taken norethisterone to stop them mid track a few times but as soon as you stop they gave me ( and when I googled lots of other people too) the period like a train crash after . But you can buy online from superdrug ( I think) and lloyds pharmacy xxx

Hello there,
I've only been escorting for a few weeks, on my last period I used beppy wet sponge tampons but was not able to remove it myself, so ended up having to go to a clinic to get it taken out. I am really worried about using them again, I was wondering if there are any alternatives that are easier to remove? Xxx
-
I bought a natural sponge and cut a big chunk of it, wet it and shoved it up, using a dildo to shove it further. Never had a problem. However, i changed my pills for those you take without a break and i havent had a period since
-
The flat baby ramer sponges are good and you can cut them into an adequate size, also they do not break off etc.
-
Iv found a nack to getting them out but its not graceful, I either lay on the floor or squat, they are a pain tho
-
I always used to use sponges...now after some advice from another girl..I now use a baby wipe,,,works a treat..wrap around my two fingers and push it up..so easy to get out and gives you a good wipe out 2 lol) also great as most of us already have plenty of them with us for work xx

I wouldn't advise this - baby wipes (including the fragrance free ones) contain all sorts of chemicals to keep them wet, stop bacterial growth and so on. Your vagina doesn't need a 'good wipe out' and especially not with sodium laureth sulfate, phenoxyethanol and formaldehyde derivatives, amongst other things.
-
I use Gynotex which are slightly bigger but getting them out can be a harrrowing process. Some ladies I know use a showerhead (minus the head!).
I just lie on my back and struggle for a while. I would never put other cosmetic sponges or wipes up my vagina under any circumstances.
-
Any suggestions on the best for working on your period (which sponges, where to buy them, other options?) Im sick of having to cancel on clients as mine comes whenever it pleases. Thanks x

I use a soft baby sponge cut to size.

I use a soft baby sponge cut to size.
That's what I do too but with a couple of tampons across the bottom with the sponge on top. Only works if the flows not too heavy however.
Edit I have never gotten thrush this way! Only got thrush X2 in 3 years both after antibiotics! No its not designed to go down there but as long as its clean, washed every time, and obviously taken out asap after sex, no problems. Also low volume anyway and if period too heavy simple I just have to resign myself to not working.
-
The flat baby ramer sponge worked well for me, did struggle to get it out though.
However I found that the calpol syringe (that I use for dispensing lube internally) inserted fully extended with plunger end going in first managed to latch on the sponge and return to base,!
-
Agree with Amy, there's no way I'd put anything in my vagina that wasn't designed for the purpose. I am prone to thrush and anything like that will set it off.
I have had good results with the Beppy sponges. For those struggling to get them out, are you bearing down really hard as you reach up?
-
I use Beppy sponges which I buy from Amazon for the best price.
If your periods are irregular have you spoken to your GP about changing (or starting) hormonal contraception? I am on depo injections and I only have one light period every 3 months. I know it doesn't suit everyone though.
-
I am still finding Beppy difficult to use.
I tried using one on day 1 of my monthly - I did wet it but surely you have to squeeze some of the water out before folding it in half and inserting it?
I can only use them on day 1 and day 5 of the period owing to clotting.
I found the Beppy travelled down my vagina and was nearly out. After half an hour of being inside.
Did I squeeze too much water out? Or did I not push it far enough down?
Any ideas would be most welcome. It really is vexing that I can't work on days 2 3 and 4 but to be able to work on day 1 and day 5 would be great. Luckily I had a spate of blowjobs and anal those days so all was fine. I am not always that lucky!

I use instead softcups, and put a cut out 3cm diameter piece of ramer sponge in the cup too for a belt and braces approach. Am fine for around 2 to 3 hrs of vigorous activity even on heavy days!
-
The reason non-gynae sponges shouldn't be used isn't because they cause thrush, it's because tiny fragments of them can break off and embed themselves in your vaginal walls to cause you problems later on.
I actually find natural sea sponges (which used to be sold as 'Sea Pearls' easier to out than Beppys. They're easier to get a grip on, I think.
-
I haven't found them hard to take out at all. It is more a problem with keeping them in in the right place!
Perhaps I need to pop them in then use a vibrator to double check they are in situ like someone else mentioned on here.
I have tried sea sponges and felt really conscious of them when in whereas with the beppy I haven't found them uncomfortable. I bought the wet Beppy and wet them again then folded them in half after squeezing the excess out, as otherwise surely it is too wet to stay up??
Am sure a Beppy diehard will come along and guide me. Hate losing money each month ....

Hmm good point maybe I should get some natural sea sponges
-
I bought the wet Beppy and wet them again
Why did you wet them again? They're sterile and have lube on so they don't need it and I'd imagine it makes them very heavy? Just push them in as far as they'll go and that should be it :).
-
Somebody else on the thread said they wet them. That was why.
Perhaps that was why it slid down!
Thanks Amy.

They sell a dry version and a wet version. You don't need to wet them unless you buy the dry ones.

Can men feel the sponges when they are having sex with you?

I have yet to order the natural sponge however the piece if sponge I use (placed over 1/2 horizontal tampax) has, to the best of my knowledge never been noticed by any of my guys, even during fingering! Which I try and discourage and at times have thought they must have noticed!. All I can say is, if they have, they've never told me.
-
i dont recommend sea sponge at all. years ago a punter was giving me oral and came back up a bit quick to tell me that there was a very bad smell down there....i nearly died of embarrassment and so did he. i rushed to the doctor who informed me there was a bit of sponge lodged up inside me and he had to get it out for me. It had caused an infection,hence the smell. After that,when i came on i just had a break from work for a few days and enjoyed the rest lol. Im older now and thank God dont have them anymore,happy days:)
-
I use both a sponge and softcup as someone else mentioned. It's super effective and I haven't had a leakage once. I disallow fingering during period and no one has ever told me they felt any different. I dont think men can tell 8) 8) 8)

I wouldn't recommend to work for the first couple of days.... I'm really grumpy on my period ;) Then I'm using soft tampons.

I've recently had the idea of sterilising my sponge in boiling water and then using sterile gloves to squeeze it and insert it.
Any opinions on what I've been doing?

Is it a Beppy sponge?
I reckon that might work for maybe 3-4 times but I'd imagine after a while the sponge will start to fall apart and then you would risk a chunk of it getting stuck in there.
-
The Beppy tampons stay in place fine if inserted correctly. They should be removed after each client. They can last up to eight hours inside the vagina outside of sexwork however but that will depend on how heavy the menstrual flow is. They work for regular flow only.

I did it with beppy and with that baby sponge I use and like because I get hold of it easily when I get it out.
Well I cut it first. Then I sort of cut off all edges that could fall apart so I get those nice smooth pieces to insert. Not sure why the sponge would fall apart?

Because if you put it in boiling water, you're going to change its structure. I would guess it would become more brittle.

I've had a quick scout through but I haven't seen anything, but I'm sorry if this has been covered.
I used beppy sponges years ago and I'm sure by the clients face he could feel something was up there when he was fingering me! Is this always the case or was it just that the sponge hadn't been pushed up far enough?
I have problems with really irregular periods so I can never really plan when I'm coming on, but I have a full day of incalls booked for the end of the week and now I can feel myself coming on!

It depends how far they shove their fingers up. They won't feel it if it's high enough and they finger lightly, but if they're shoving their fingers so far in that they're almost losing part of their hand inside you, then they will probably feel it. Because the sponge can only go up high enough so that we can grab it and pull it out. If we can reach it, they probably can with their huge sausage fingers. I allow light fingering but if I can feel them going for it too hard, I'll try to change position and give them something else to focus on.
-
Cant believe Im 32 and never heard of a beppy sponge!
Started the pill back in June and now my periods are weekly rather than monthly, or when Ive got a good few days ahead, bam, the bitch turns up :FF
Surely menopause should be due by now ::)

+1. Though on 2 days when I know I bleed the most I just don't let them finger me. Remember that plenty of women don't like fingering so actually when you gently push their fingers away or tell them you prefer something else, they don't mind.
Just careful with regulars :))))
Also when you insert the sponge try to place it right "in the middle" and right size, if you see what I mean. If it's slightly lubricated then, should they incidentally touch it, most guys shouldn't be able to make a difference between the sponge or "whatever they think we have up there inside": it feels soft and warm.

The Nuvaring actually delay menstrual cycle after 3 week put fresh one in because it birth control and will expire in 3 weeks

Hey guys ..new to this site :)
I have an overnight booking Saturday that I agreed to a couple of weeks ago but I can feel my period coming ..I know it will be here in the next day or so. I've read through this thread but I don't think a sponge will wok out well over night especially if I'm heavy. Really don't want to lose this booking but think I may have too :-\ what should I message the client saying? I don't really want to go into details but I don't want him to think I've wasted his time by cancelling short notice xx

If you don't think the beppy sponge will work, maybe be truthful to the client and let him decide. Some guys really don't care as long as there isn't blood everywhere. Then you can discreetly excuse yourself before any sexual encounter and pop in a sponge / replace it at any time you see fit.x
-
Yeah that is true..il give him a message and mention it and see what he says. Thank you for the reply x

I've mentioned it ages ago but instead softcups(amazon) are great combined with a sponge... A belt and braces approach! I can't feel it at all when it's in.
-

Might be worth a try. Do you put the softcup in first? I used to use a mooncup years ago but they were very rigid.
-

+1. Agreed. A tried and tested method that works 99% of the time for me. The only time it failed when I left it on too long and hadnt changed the sponge or empty the cup on the first day which is the heaviest for me. Thankfully client had dark sheets.
-
Is this beppy sponge reliable for heavy flow? I never used it before and I have very heavy period so I am a bit worried if there is a leak.
-

Last time my belt and braces for my heavy day was 2 pieces of sponge. Number one bigger, topped up with number 2 smaller. I thought this way blood stops on sponge 1 in case there's a lot and - only if there's a problem - goes into sponge 2.
It was a regular 1 hr booking of course. Possibly more in my head than anything else but I felt much more at easy knowing I'm all "sponged up":)
-
I swear by Beppy wet sponges. A bit pricey but worth it. Use lube when putting it in and put it quite far up. Don't try and remove it straight after client, wait about 20 minutes then do it and don't panic. Relax whilst taking it out because sometimes it can feel a bit stuck.
-

I've had leaks during very heavy flow, they are 3 out of 5 absorbency-wise I think. How you position them is incredibly important, too, otherwise you end up with half of the sponge completely clean.
-

I've tried and had very small leak. Thankfully the client didn't notice. Took 2 days off though I got too worried and really didn't want to stress myself during every booking plus saving myself from the embarrassing moment that I had twice in the past. I think I'll stick to normal sponge as they are kind of thicker but so uncomfortable and hard to take out.
-
I used to have very heavy flow for 5 or 6 days. Once I started working I tried taking the pill back to back and that did the trick at first. On my third or fourth missed period I noticed some spotting which I got away with. After that little scare I was fitted for a diaphragm and used that as a precaution. It would never have been enough on its own though. I guess sponges could work just as well and are maybe more convenient.
A while ago I took a break for a year or so for personal reasons and came off the pill completely to give my body a rest. The weird thing is I didn't have a single period during that time. Typical isn't it! My doctor thought it might have been caused by my low weight at the time.
-
I dont work 'penetration' on my period, simple as. I refuse to put sponge up me. I offer a discount rate for oral sessions/massage "for x days only) or try and stick to roleplay/dom meets! never lose out x
-
I've noticed a strange phenomena which never seems to fail ...
For some reason on the day my period arrives I am either always dead or men just ask for Blow jobs. Not that I am complaining as I am pretty heavy on the first day, but it does make me pause and think everytime!
Wonder if its some kind of chemical telepathy going on? :D
Anyway, I prefer this than feel guilty for turning away work.

You made me jealous! ;D
When I am on my period, my phone explodes and if I decide to work and use sponge for some reason the guys with the biggest packages come who can have rough sex for whole 1 hour without any problem!
I call that luck! Hope it continues this way for you. Not using sponge and not losing money. Such a blessing ;D
-

I mention that if they enquire about more etc. but 9/10 are fine with it x

Really confused about this. On website it says wearable for up to 8 hours. Does this mean I can only wear one sponge a day? Or does it mean I have to change the sponge for a new one every 8 hours? X
-

The latter, you just need to change it after 8 hours for a new one. Given their price though I tend to just use one during working hours only and use a pad the rest of the time.
-
I have used the wet Beppy but find they are hard to insert but handy when desperate for cash. Approx. day 3 I can be heavy though so I have to just avoid vaginal sex then. I offer half hour bj with massage or half hour bj with anal instead. Seems to help me tick over.
Depending on how delicate I am feeling I often may not work for a couple of days during the period as I am too sensitive to touch around then ....
Luckily at my age they only last 4-5 days .... The trouble is they will arrive every 3 weeks just recently something I really don't need the joys of perimenopause!
-
Aren't those Beppy sponges just made of the same stuff as cheap bath sponges you get in the supermarket? I've met escorts who just buy a cheap ones from pound shop or whatever & cut them to shape.
-

Yep... Ive used the baby sponges cut to shape before and only tried actual beppys recently... Was surprised at how they feel the very same!
I know some might not find it ideal but it's So much cheaper and when rinsed/sterilised with hot water it's fine for me anyway :)
-
I sometimes use this time to have a break! if I need to work I can do on my lightest days (1st, 2nd and last day) but sometimes I have a 4 day heavy flow and don't feel in the mood. I also get the light longer days which are better and I use the sponge which I sterilise before using and pop it in 5 mins before the client is due. You have to make sure its up far enough as mine was peeping out once which a client (regular thankfully) could see. Not always easy to get them out though, especially if a client has a big cock, just pushes it right up. :FF
Also I avoid being on top if seeing a client when on a period, best position I find is doggy
-

They are in the sense that a tampon is made of cotton, just like a cotton wool ball is. The difference is that one is designed for menstrual use and the other isn't, and I won't be sticking cotton balls up my flute any time soon :).
Most cheap bath sponges aren't made of the same type of sponge anyway (and bits of them will break off amd cause you problems) but if you don't want to pay for Beppys the natural sea sponges (the tampon ones are Sea Pearls) work fine and you can sometimes find them cheaper in art shops.

ive used a cheap one before in an emergency but its not reccommended as newbies might just think its ok, tiny bits of the cheap ones can break of when you remove and if you dont know itsthere , it can cause an infection ,that truly can be fatal because it can go toxic , the beppy ones are all sealed individually and free from bugs ,plus they stay intact when they come out ( not that i havent used any old sponge because i have lol )
sorry Amy just seen your post and I've repeated you abit xxx

In London and today the phone has been busy, I have had 3 30 min bookings so I have managed to make ?300 so far, but I am so mad I have had to cut things short, I am going home now. Ladies I AM SOOOOOO EMBARRASSED. My period started early during a booking! I wanted to die! God, I have had to cancel scheduled bookings. I'm really pissed off. Praying it goes away before the end of the week. Need to find solutions :(

do a reduced service say you are only doing hand relief and oral (and play with your price a bitor not or if they say oh can i have it a bit cheaper then if you want to you can ) ................lots of guy dont want sex just make sure you say you cant do sex or reverse oral ....just say you had to big a client and are to sore down there today for sex or reverse oral but can do xyz and keep your panties on .

I don't even think about periods anymore when working
Just use the softcup and a piece of ramer sponge from boots. I take both out every 2 hours and rinse clean and squeeze water out of sponge and pop back in.
Works wonders. My service is actually better during a period as I am unbelievably horny
Lol

Have tried using a softcup for the first time today. It's been okay, but it leaks a bit when I go to the toilet and still shows blood when the guy withdraws, so isn't perfect. I've been using black condoms to hide it, but they aren't ideal as I think they're very thick so the clients lose sensitivity.
I've used sponges a couple of times, but both times I've not been able to get it out so have had to go to walk-in clinics :FF Has anyone tried tying thread around them to pull them out with?

You mean like dental floss type thickness? I think anything else would be too intrusive and would definitely be noticeable to the client.
I have a low cervix and even so I've taken 20-30 minutes to get a beppy out at the end of the day's work. If you have a high cervix I think I'd stick with softcup and black condoms or just moving to oral/hr bookings only during your period.
-
I use sea sponges when I'm on, they're great for a session and then remove.
I now get mine from HobbyCraft! They're a ?1 for 2 and once sterilised are the same as the expensive ones.
-
If you get clots or heavy periods basically you can't use anything though.

Yeah that makes sense. I was thinking of just using a thread perhaps to tie around the sponge. But I do have a high cervix and also I have teeny hands lol, so getting sponges out was impossible. I think softcup/black condoms may be the way to go then, as I only really have one or two days of real bleeding and then it's super light after that. Don't want to risk getting a sponge stuck again.
-
I try not to work on the first 2 days of my period cos i'm in agony & really heavy & just an all round moody bitch. But the last few days of my period i use a sponge from body care. They're about a ?1, round yellow one & cut it up into small pieces. Never really had any trouble with getting it out or anything just make sure i don't cut the pieces too small
-
Really good tip I wanted to share that actually works if you ever get a sponge stuck to save the numerous embarrassing visits to doctor or clinic just take ur shower head and remove it so it's just a pipe and put it inside u with the shower turned on hold it inside you for 20/30 seconds and the sponge with pop straight out I always suffer with this and this is actually works
-
My period is to heavy to offer full service during this time. The cup/sponges aren't any good for me. I do oral/titwanks instead. I have found most men don't mind this! I am considering offering anal too, as I do enjoy that.
-
This is a bit funny and it has never happened to me before.
I work through my period simply because it doesn't last long and is somehow light..... but when I am on and I work, I always insert cotton wool balls which has always worked for me. Never had a problem even getting them out and sometimes they fall out by themselves if I apply enough pressure or move around enough. My experience is that whatever gets stuck in me always comes out.
I usually use one cotton wool balls at the time and rarely two. But yesterday morning, I inserted two and because they often get stuck together I can't recall if I pulled out one or two.
Now I called the local GUM clinic this morning to ask if something can be done to remove it if one is stuck ( which has never happened to me before) and I was told to attend the AE which I will tmrw because it can turn dangerous if left.
My question is: has this ever happened to you? What have items have ever got stuck and now did it end for you?
-

Make sure the water is a gentle flow, not a full on pressure hose!
-
Thanks
Just done it and nothing came out. Fluid flows naturally from there as if nothing is stuck.....
Is this proof that nothing is there and that I did get both cotton wool balls out? ( never had anything stuck there before and it's been 24hours now)
I just can't bare attending AE knowing about their waiting time during which I could be earning some money ???
-
Cotton wool is not very absorbent so best stick to sponges or if very heavy take a day or two off until things calm down. If something is stuck there then it has no chance of slipping down if not taking a break, cant imagine sticking a shower hose up is healthy either.
I have only a very light flow so use a natural sponge cut to size and soaked in water so it is soft to insert. It is always removed and checked after and have had no problem..
-
Cotton wool also releases lots of fibres that could cause irritation. As others have said, it is not at all advisable to use it inside you.
-
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

I use Gynotex sponges.
They are awesome. ;D

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.
-
i do not have period since years for other reasons and honestly it is very convenient. no pain, no bloat, no tampon...
anyway even if you do not have you ll need to rest some day.
about weight gain, you can control it. if you like to eat, you ll do more workout.
then health side i m not a doctor but having period is very important for our health....

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!

If you read back, flushing with the shower head helps to make it heavier and thus easier to pull out - bearing down as you do.
-
I ended up in a&e once as I couldn't get a belly sponge out... oh the shame! Xxx
-
Barbie, the same happened to me...so embarrassing :(
-
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 wouldn't use a sponge again, I put one in when I was in the heavy stage of my period and asked my boyfriend to have sex with me to test it, it got well and truly lodged inside me and he had to reach inside my vagina (too queasy to do it myself) and pull it out, but not before a waterfall of menstrual fluid and extreme pain. I guess I did something wrong.
I'm going to go back on the depo shot before long so I don't have to lose that week of work. I was on it once and it stopped my periods completely as well as clearing my skin up! Weight gain did happen, but as long as I've been alive I've been gaining weight, I've never really lost weight. Gaining weight is just something I do hahaha

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've only worked once. the client asked specifically and wanted to give me oral for an inflated fee. If he had not offered me extra I would have declined as I don't enjoy working.
-
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?

Same thing happened to me could not get the sponge out ended up in hospital they had to get it out i had a serious infection from it on tablets for ages... The doctor told me its dangerous to use a sponge for a period and i should not do it again which i never have...i either dont work on a period or when i took the pill daily would continue it sometimes so i did not have a period.
That experience was awful for me and very embarassing plus i was talked into it by agency pimp .
-
Sponges don't seem to work for me anymore; it's as though my canal has doubled in width and a sponge no longer fits snuggly in. The blood still seems to come out past the sides.
I just take the time off now or do non-sex bookings only.
-
This is a new product, mentioned in a Grauniad article about new condoms: https:// flexfits. com/ They ship to the UK.
-
I'm getting on really well with the joy division soft tampons amazon , I think much better shape than Beppys more natural, I got on amazon.
-
Ooh, that Flexfit looks good, thanks Kay. I'm going to give them a try.

I did exactly this and managed to bring it down low enough to pinch and pull out.. Thankfully no embarrassing trips to the walk in centre this time! ::)
Love this forum, so helpful! Xx
-
The ones I mentioned are much harder to get out , due to the shape but I find them a better fit
-
Those flexfits look to be the same as the Instead Softcup.
I've used those before- not great. It holds everything, but a bump the wrong way and ALL of the contents are released. If they had something absorbant inside, they'd be great. Possibly a sponge plus soft cup for the ladies unable to use a sponge alone?
-
I've just received my Flex order and I'm really impressed with the quality of the product. I'm not too worried about leakage as I don't bleed very much, just enough so that it's obvious on the condom. It's very comfortable, I can't tell that I'm wearing it.
However I can feel it with my finger, it's very obvious that it's a foreign object, unlike the sponge. And I have really short fingers so if a client fingered me he'd definitely know it was there. I'm not sure how it will feel during sex. I'm planning to take bookings today and say fingering is not allowed and just see what happens during sex. If a client mentions it I'll say I've got a diaphragm in for extra contraception. (Funny how some clients are practically phobic about periods but are all for any form of contraception, yet when I'm on my period I'm not fertile! Silly beggars!)
If a client does mention it then I'll go back to Beppy but use these Flex ones when I'm not working.
-
I use two or three cotton pads for make up removing.
Roll them like a tampon and insert deep folded in U or V shape, lasts for one booking or more if thicker..
I use this method even when I do not work.. this keeps me fresh, no one spotted yet
(do not let fingers inside, but this rule is good for health anyway, nail scratches are always risky)

That's really not a good idea... That type of cotton wool is not meant for internal use and will leave fibres in your vagina.

I agree try fishing out small cotton pads that have been lodged in there
-
Just to report back on the Flexfit. I took two bookings which included penetration whilst wearing it. Neither client mentioned anything, however it was uncomfortable for me and I became concerned that the condom might rip on the firm rubber edge. Rather disappointing as they were marketed as "ideal for sex during your period" but significantly less comfy than a Beppy. I will stick to sponges for bookings and use the Flexfits when I'm not working.

Oh dear, my parcel is on the way after the thread few weeks ago. (I should have asked if youd ordered before me.) I'll give em a try but hard edges sound concerning as i have issues with sponges not going far enough,i did notice in the video it lpoked big and tough.. hmm may demo with some toys wearing condoms before work use
-
i have issues with sponges not going far enough
Sounds like you have a low cervix, like me. I can manage to squash the Beppy up far enough that it can't be felt during sex, but the Flex is a lot bigger. Very very comfortable for everyday wear though, and a lot easier to get out than a Beppy. I think it's a case of try it and see if you like it. I did try using a dildo on myself with one in and it felt okay but an actual cock it just didn't feel right and I was very conscious of it.
-
Does anyone get bookings despite your period? I'm on and I've made it very clear that I am on my profile and that I will still be working - I'm not going to try and restrict it with sponges etc... just wondering if anyone has any period sex with a client success stories? I know it's going to lower my prospects massively, but just one booking this week would be enough!

There was a post on here by someone saying that they was their busiest time and had a list of guys to phone specifically .
I've also seen posts where there hasn't been any interest ,it may be a slow build to start with but could be lucrative eventually .

Hey, so I'm pretty new to this, which is why last Thursday when I put a sponge into my vagina, (which I have done before) I never really thought anything about it. But when it came to removing the sponge.. it seems to have vanished, literally. This is now Sunday and I still haven't been able to get it out. I have tried every trick in the book. I can't even feel it when I put my fingers inside me. Is it possible that the sponge has come out on its own. Or am I seriously screwed!!
-
You need to go to A&E, quite urgently. They'll have no problem removing it, but it's a risk to your health as it's been in so long.
It may well have come out and you didn't notice, but as you're not sure you should go to A&E today.
-
It may have come out. What i would do is use the shower hose with the shower head taken off and fill your vagina with lukewarm water. If its in there it will get heavy and should come down easily with you in a squatting position. If thaf doesn't work you could get a practice nurse at the gps to have a look with a speculum?
-

GUM clinics would be able to help with that too.
-
Unfortunately with it being bank holiday most GPs and GUM clinics will be closed.
OP if you still haven't got it out, follow these steps first, but please go to A&E if these don't work.
1. Try to relax your body as much as possible. Do some deep breathing, some yoga stretches etc.
2. Reassure yourself that your vagina is almost closed at the cervix. It's not possible for large items, e.g. tampons and sponges, to "get lost" in the vast majority of cases.
3. Sluice some warm water into your vagina. Shower hose on low pressure if possible, if not get into the bath and pour some warm water from a jug directly into your vagina. This will make the sponge heavier and more likely to go downwards.
4. Do some pelvic floor contractions. Basically bear down with your pelvic muscles. At the same time, reach up with your fingers inside your vagina. Can you feel the sponge? If not, do some more push downs.
5. Continue bearing down and reaching up until you can get enough purchase to pull the sponge out.
If you cannot feel the sponge at all, and you've searched your hotel room to ensure you didn't take it out and forget you had done, please do go to A&E as it's not healthy to have one in for this long.
-
This happend to me a few weeks ago. Its most likely still inside but too far fpr your fingers to reach. I had to go to A&E to get it moved removed. They dremoved it within a few minutes. This happend after i used a dry sponge, now i always put loads of lube on it first and have no problems taking out.
-
Also had to get mine removed at A&E and I have never used them since
-
I had used sponges b4 and it took me ages to get them out .
I hope it gets removed for you Charlie ..
-
Go to the clinic ASAP they will remove it for you, it only takes seconds them seconds to get it out. It's embarrassing though cos it smells really bad with the old dried blood on it.
-
As other ladies said, straight to the hospital to remove it. I know that sounds silly but I sometimes wear sponge when I have no more pads, and I would never put a sponge if I didn’t have long nails! My nails kind of find and squeeze the sponge (very gently). Also a position which I found best to “reach” the sponge is one leg up somewhere quite high + balancing your weight on this leg and then put your fingers inside to reach the sponge. Charlie, because you kept the sponge so long I suspect the sponge is surrounded by moist so you can’t make the difference with the rest. Not sure what you decided to do, but maybe make sure to wash your hand, keep it semi humid,put your fingers inside and look for the “corners” while you do the one leg position. Once I had this when I couldn’t get it out and this helped xx
-
Get thee to a hospital! Ive had this issue before, and had to go to A+E. I just explained that I'd used a sponge instead of tampons, because I'd run out. No questions asked.
-
Using sponges are very risky i used one years ago ended up not being able to get it out and ended up in hospital with a serious infection. I would personally never use them again just do not work on a period.
-
I think theres a sponge disaster coming my way this week. I don't normally work when im on my period. Anyway this week my tour is booked with hotels and everything paid for and ive taken advance bookings.I :FF wake up this morning and ive started my period!!!! It wasnt due till next week. I have no other option but to use a spinge which im dreading. :FF :FF
-
Has anyone found the beppy too rough on your insides when taken in and out ? I’ve wet it and put lube on ! I’ve used one today for the first time in ages . But then I don’t know if it’s that or I’m allergic to latex condoms!! Going to get latex free tomorrow from boots so I’ll just have to make do tonight ! Really burns when they penetrate me too! :(
-
Does anyone know if these are ok to use if you have a mirina coil fitted?
-
You can buy natural sea sponges (and wash them very well) in Paperchase - there's a massive one on Tottenham Court Road and lots of others scattered about. Don't use baby/cosmetic sponges for the reasons given above :)
I have just got back from A and E having an "intimate sponge" removed by forceps> Bought from Amazon to use instead of tampons> Good for light to moderate use. My language wasn't moderate I can tell you. Two days struggling to remove it, never again.......
-

I've used sponges with a mirena and its ok to use tampons so they are similar , I had very very short strings but if you haven't just make sure you don't pull on them when trying to get the sponge out or the mirena will come out at the same time :)
-
I use ibuprofen tablets to thin out the blood dummy period
I take three tablets every two or three hours and use coloured condoms and sponge

Tranexamic acid does that but it's safe , that's way too much ibuprofen ( over daily dose) it can really irritate your tummy and give you an ulcer .
-
My advice is do not work and take a week off. With PMS you feel shit anyway. If you work hard for 3 weeks you deserve a week off and can look forward to that week off. I am menopausal now and still take a week's holiday! Can do things that I enjoy - like sleep - shop - cook - a day at the spa!
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new here so this is my first post (from the U.S. - Texas), but I wanted to mention another option for a sponge stuck in an inconvenient place lol. I recently found myself in this very situation, with no insurance and facing the possibility of a big emergency room bill.
I started thinking what would happen if I did go to an emergency room -- how a doctor / nurse would handle the removal. And I figured they'd have to use some sort of forceps-like instrument. Then I thought, well . . . I have some metal tongs, the kind you use when you cook wieners in hot water. SOOOOOOOO . . . I went to the kitchen and rattled around in the drawer until I found them. Then I washed them in anti-bacterial soap and splashed them with rubbing alcohol then dried them off with a paper towel.
Then . . . I drew a big breath and lay back on the bed. You can guess the rest lol. I've actually done this in two different situations. The trick is to insert the tongs closed, then when they're up in there, open them, move in a little farther and do the grab! Works like a charm.
Hope this helps somebody!

I don't work during my period at all.as I get the worst cramps and I just feel gross. But try telling that to a guy was wanting to book me today, wouldn't take no for an answer!!!
-

Yep I get wiped off my feet can't even walk about I've been it bed two days and I'm on strong painkillers and although it's in full flow with cramping , back ache , shooting pains , I still know it's not gone to ballistic levels (peri menopause) I never know how long it's going to last at all but it's totally impossible to work .
They say things like let me know and I'll take you for a drive or dinner and are being nice but I could go if I took my puppy pad that I have to sit on and wore my pjs and trainers , at the moment it's an issue getting into my kitchen to make a cup of tea !
-
I never work during my period. I don't ever feel like it apart from amything else! I get cramps. my tummy and breasts get really swollen and I feel really lethargic. Hats off to those of you who can, I just never could. I would also really worry about accidents happening with sponges etc.
-
I use water wipes baby wipes so I can change in the bathroom. I find sponges are hard to get out and I can’t use the pill etc
-
I use these even when Im not working now, they are made specifically for having sex during your period. Used to cost me a fortune as I had to get them from USA but now they are available in the UK x
https://flexfits.uk/pages/faq
-
Sounds interesting gina I just ordered some!
-
They are fantastic, you can leave them in for 12 hours but i empty them before every booking. I use them all the time now. x
-
Yes they may be handy for me as my flow is heavy for about two days with clots so I cannot use Beppy or sponge etc.
Sorry if too graphic with information ...
-
lol not at all, im the same. they can be a bit messy when you are changing them but you will soon get used to them x
-
please can i have some advice on working whilst on your monthly, i have two big bookings this week and have just come on!! how do i get round this ? can i still work?? do i tell them? help!! thank you all advice appreciated xx
-
Moved to a thread with plenty of advice on exactly this :)
-
I take the pill northisten or whatever is called to actually stop my period when it's due
I won't take the regular pill as I find i feel like I'm on PMS 24/7 which is not good
It's brilliant as my period is regular as clockwork I know when I'm due and just take the tablet a few day before if I'm touring
Then when I'm home I can just stop taking it
I'm actually fine working when I have a period as I'm pretty light most days but the ability to stop it is great .
It's the week before that I suffer with . I am totally PMS and would happily murder anyone that annoyed me
I clean my house like crazy and get the munchies for really weird things
-
I am currently taking Norethisterone. It delays my period by as much as 29 days...and as little as 15 days!
As others have said, 2 a day are enough. I get the same length of delay when I take either 2 a day or 3 or day.
-
I tried the flex fits but although they were fine for everyday use, I wasn't comfortable working with them. I have a low cervix and I was worried about the rough plastic/rubber edge tearing the condom. Beppy is the best for me.

I've even got it down to 1 a day but then the next day I take 2
-
That flex sounds good generally for totm but if you were working surely a guy fingering you could just displace it? And also toys too.
-
They would have to go up really high to feel it. Just keep fingering off the menu when your using it. Tbh I keep oral off the menu as well just in case but. If you use coloured condoms and lube it should be fine. If someone had felt it I would have told them I was using the contraception cap as secondary protection x
-
Flex fits are the same as Instead "softcups" i mentioned earlier in this subject. This company have taken it over. I have been using these for ages and work during most of my periods. I cant afford not to.on the heaviest day i use a flex fit and a sponge just below it to avoid any accidents. It works amazingly for me.
-
My idea is to just insert a sponge before you booking so it is fresh each time. I only see 4 people a day and spread them out that way I feel confident the sponge won’t leak.
-
It has been dead this month :FF and could do with the extra cash I have a booking tonight but just remembered I am on my period. Honestly everything is either sunshine and rainbows or utter bs, never any middle ground. Any advice on disguising period sex would be a massive help.
-

I do exactly that. In the years I've worked I just use a natural sponge and just crack on. No issues. Use coloured condoms in case of residue.
-

I do the exact same thing. I have my usual tampon. But after payment client done showering I quickly replace tampon with fresh sponge. But I always remove sponge after each session rinse clean do exact same routine next booking.
-
Potentially a 'how long is a piece of string' question but what size sponge is generally used?
I've used sea sponges and beppy sponges before when I had the contraceptive implant and had constant break through bleeding and never had a client mention it however since switching to the pill I'm having regular periods and they're no longer cutting it.
If I were to get a larger sponge and attempt to cut to size, what should I aim for? Any ladies found there's 'too large' and had a client feel it?
-

I've had 2 guys feel a spinge one gynotex and one beppy, (one of which kept going on about how he could feel my cervix I just let him waffle on seemed less awkward than explaining there s a sponge to stop a downpour of blood).
I really think only you can answer this? Could you try cutting it to a large size then "feel around" yourself? If you can feel it take it out trim it and try again? I feel like a penis unlike a hand won't know what a sponge feels like vs normal vagina feeling but I don't have a penis or one to ask?
-
I use sponge with some lube. If it's heavy flow I take painkillers . It actually stoppes the period. I only do it if I really cant miss the booking. Avoid working out, orgasms and red wine. Use pink condoms. ;)
Clients compliment my tightness. I wonder why . ;D ;D ;D
-
I buy the baby bath sponges cut them in half. Put a fresh one in for each booking. Then apply lube to myself before they arrive as sponges will make you dry.
Luckily my periods only last 4 days after changing to a plant based diet (used to be heavy for a whole week). I'm trying to naturally lighten the flow through diet, yoga and moon bathing.

Well you could send SA a message and ask, since its nothing to do with the thread :)
It's been done to death, but sponges that aren't designed for menstrual use shouldn't be used as tampons; they're full of chemicals and shed tiny fragments that can embed themselves inside you and cause all sorts of problems. All the yoga in the world won't stop that.

That's a really good point. I buy unbleached natural sea sponge but I've had bits come loose. This is why it's important to get a pelvic exam every few months at the GUM clinic.
I know an escort who said uses wet wipes ???
-
Being new to being a WG, I am yet to come across this problem but when I do I plan on simply notifying the client of the 'situation' and leaving it up to them to decide what we do... i'm expecting a fair few not to mind at all!
You will be suprised... Few men enjoy bloodsports.. ???
My opinion is that its a personal thing .. something your likely to do with your partner,, not a stranger...
There are certainly the exceptions. ..
I find baby sponges are the best.. (however they aren't as absorbant so it depends what your flow is like.)
You won't feel it.. they won't feel it. ... Hey presto...
Dont forget. ... no fingers inside until the sponge is removed...
Just dont be silly with them. Cut them very neatly,, remove as soon as possible.. xxx

Just as a word of warning on sponges, a friend of mine has just spent the night in hospital having had TSS from using a sponge. She is not a sex worker but her partner is in the army she only gets to see him when he is on leave - hence need to have sex when she is "on". She was only bleeding slightly, inserted sponge 9pm (proper tampon sponge not cut down baby sponge... but she had rinsed and dried it from a previous use months earlier). She had sex without condom, did not remove or change the sponge and woke up at 5am with fever and shaking. She thought it was TSS, changed to normal tampax but feeling ill got worse and taken to A&E then kept overnight for observation. She is OK now but it shocked me that a sponge could do that. She should not have reused it or kept it in for so long and maybe the unprotected sex gave conditions for the bug to thrive. Always change back to proper tampon after sex and follow their instructions.

Sounds nasty but I think the cause is quite apparent here, hope she is ok. It's misleading to say she got it from using a sponge though, these things are meant to be disposable and she's rinsed it out, left it for months to collect God knows what bacteria on it and used it again, had sex and left it in several hours. I don't think it's that surprising that the sponge wasn't exactly clean and sterile. She won't do that again!
-
Has anyone invested in one of these? They are blankets designed for period sex, one side of if is designed to absorb and hide blood/fluids and the other side is a regular satin finish. Apparently there is no smell, no wetness or visible evidence, you just wash it on a cold wash and hang to dry. They are really expensive at £270 but appear to be sold out constantly. I think they are the same people who do the period pants.
-
Interesting! But isn't it clearly evident someone is on their period when they see the blood on the condom? Or maybe it could be used in conjunction with black condoms?
-
I think I may be to protect your bedding as well, but I don't think it is that big. I think it is a good idea but it needs to be bigger and a LOT cheaper

Eep. I'm bumping this as I have I similar problem. I can feel my sponge but can't reach it. Its only been in a couple of hours thus far.
Am I OK to wait til tomorrow to see my GP or should I go to A&E tonight? Its pretty far for me.
I've used sponges plenty times before no problem. This one I think is a bit smaller than usual so has slipped up further.
-
Will my gp even be able to do it??? I'm panicking now, this has never happened before. I've tried getting it out but I think I've just pushed it further up xx

Don't wait till tomorrow, as you are at risk of infection or TSS. They will get it out in minutes and you will feel so glad you went and had it dealt with.
-
This brings back memories. Twice it has happened to me and I had to go into a walk in centre and ask for removal. After that I never used one again but now there is no need. The menopause has some plus points!
-
Got it out! The bath trick worked. Thank god. I think I've learned my lesson. TSS was what I was worried about most!!
-
I can get sponges out because I have long nails otherwise, I doubt I'd be able to.
Try to relax, lie back on the bed and insert your index and middle finger. The sponges tend to get stuck behind the cervix.
Failing that, I would go to A&E unless you have a female friend on hand to help out.
Good luck.
-
Happened to me recently, my female friend managed to get it out with some coconut oil lol

This is when trusted friends come i handy. My ex BF used to get mine out for me. Now, I have an enema kit with a vaginal attachment for this issue.

It almost came to that for me. I have quite big hands which wasn't helping. Almost had to call upon a friend with smaller ones!!

I think this must be really common and imagine casualty departments see this all the time!
I once had an even more embarrassing situation after some kinky play with a partner resulted in an "object" being lost inside me. Believe me, I would have preferred the doctor to have pulled out a sponge compared to what he actually did. :FF :FF
Still mortified every time I think of it.
-
Oh the intrigue SD! :o
Reminds me of being little and hearing increadible anonymous stories from mates whose mums were A&E nurses. ;D

Oh c'mon, you have to tell us now!!!
-
Thankfully I'm on cerelle and never had this issue. Don't get periods anymore! I wouldn't dream of putting a sponge up there though, did that once a long time ago and it took 1 'large' guy for it to be too far up to reach. Never again!
OP, you get it out ok?
-
Can’t get mine out now. And it didn’t even bloody work, I bled on a client ::)
-

I can't use them with a heavy flow. I will bleed. Taking it out in the bath really worked for me. Tilting my hips upwards. I do feel your pain though!!
-

I only thought I was spotting as I’m half way through a pack of the pill. Turns out I was full on on my period :FF Not a pretty sight when my friend managed to get it out lol
-
Hi girls,
I am on tour this week and it is my last day today. The only thing is my I have started bleeding this morning. I don't tend to get heavy periods and it is more spotting. I am really gutted as this hasn't happened to me on tour before. I had a quiet day yesterday and I was hoping to have a busy day today. I now think I will lose clients due to bleeding. Has anyone else been in this situation when they have been on tour?
I do offer massage as well as full personal service and I can offer massage to clients but I worry I will lose a lot of business.
-
Do you not have any sponges on you? I'd ring round the local pharmacies and ask if any of them stock Beppy or Gynotex.
If it's really light I'd get some red condoms (Durex are red aren't they?) and ban fingering and RO.
If not I'd tell all callers it's oral only today and drop my price to reflect that.
-
No I don't have any sponges on me which I am gutted about. I do have my contraceptive pill on me and I took that morning but I don't know if it will stop the bleeding? I don't know if chemists will stock sponges? I have never seen them in chemists, I have always got them online.
If I don't allow oral and fingering then clients will wonder why.
-
If I don't allow oral and fingering then clients will wonder why.
"Sorry no oral and fingering today as I've got a period."
-
If you're only spotting you can probably get around it without using sponges, if you don't have any! Take a bath (not shower) and immediately put a tampon in afterwards, tucking the string up inside you. Keep it in as long as you are having foreplay/ not having a willy or fingers inside you. Once it's going that way, make an excuse and nip to the bathroom to pull the tampon out..... you'll then get away with 20 minutes or so of oral on you or sex with no blood. Maybe use red condoms, and don't take any massively long bookings? Good luck as it would be a shame to have to give up on tour x
-
While not perfect for everyone. Can you pop to boots/savers and buy a ramer sponge if there's no beepy/gynotex locally?
Just cut it to size and use like a beepy.
-
I use the ramer sponges. Prefer them to beppy.i just boil in hot water to sterilise
-
I would offer a massage service with HE/BJ only.
If that doesn't work I would try to get a refund on hotel or apartment that you have booked.
I never worked with the monthly thing. Spotting or not.
It is a hazard of the job and have lost loads of money because of it. But, it is not the end of the world.
Just try to make things up on the 3 weeks a month you can work.
Another point, is that guys hate talking about periods, so just make some excuse, like you are really sore and can only offer a limited service?
I have had lost loads of bookings because I have had to cancel due to early onset and they never understand and usually get into a strop and never book again!
The nice ones will re book and are understanding!!
-
Pasante strawberry are red, the blueberry are dark blue too. I use them if I'm bleeding lightly.
I was thinking of trying beppy, are they easy to remove? I currently use natural sponge, but almost got one stuck a month ago.
-
The clients are unreasonable to make a fuss like we really go out of our way to have a flippin' period!
Some just see us as sex machines I am sure.
Luckily I offer anal but it does impact on the service and plenty decline when they know I cannot offer the usual vaginal option.
The trouble is if you have already booked in at the hotel your hands are a bit tied unless you are good at making up some amazing excuse like family problems or something. I suppose you could pretend you were ill and had to cut the hotel tour short to see if you could get a refund. A tricky one.

Or add period play to your Adultwork profile.

Wonder why they would move that and keep bareback on lol.
-
I always use a baby ramer sponge from superdrug. They are individually packaged and the right size when folded up so you won't need to cut them.
-
lora are they any good when the period is a little on the heavy side?
I did order those American discs but I haven't ventured into trying them.
I keep earnestly hoping and praying my periods will stop as I am 55 soon it is ridiculous to keep getting them! Though not as frequent as two years ago they are still annoying and most unwelcome.
-
I don't think they will work well if you are bleeding heavily. But I have some really heavy days where I need to use 2 large tampons at a time. I would never try working then.
-
Ok thanks. I tend to get two days out of the five days that I cannot use Beppy tampons. So far the American disc style things look a bit too complicated to work out for little ole me. Like I say I keep praying for a miracle when the unwelcome guest actually stops putting in an appearance!!
-
Another point, is that guys hate talking about periods, so just make some excuse, like you are really sore and can only offer a limited service?
Fuck that. If they're that misogynistic that they want to pretend women aren't human then I don't want to see them.
-
They just don't understand the 40 years of the menstrual cycle!!
I noticed a while ago on another forum, that an SP unexpectedly had a period during a booking and it put him off punting for 2 years! He saved himself 2 years worth of punting money and we saved ourselves from meeting a dick.
We don't always get a warning that the monthly is going to happen, especially if hormones take control and we end up having a twice monthly one, which has happened to me and had to cancel loads of bookings!
The nice ones understand!
-
Wonder why they would move that and keep bareback on lol.
To do with the payment processors. Blood is "offensive/obscene", in the adult world ::)
-
They just don't understand the 40 years of the menstrual cycle!!
I have never yet met a grown man, however inexperienced, who was unaware of menstruation. I hope I never do, if I'm honest.
Fuck that. If they're that misogynistic that they want to pretend women aren't human then I don't want to see them.
Nor me. The idea that something women's bodies routinely do is dirty or shameful and should only be discussed in hushed tones using stupid euphemisms can fuck right off.
-
I remember a few years back, the "leader of the free world" - initials DT, did not want to answer a difficult question by a female journalist stating that she must be on her menstrual cycle and other vile comments about her gender and her hormones!
Not all guys are like him - bit off topic.
but if you met someone like MR T you would want to be on your period!
-
Thanks for the replies girls. As it happens I took the contraceptive pill when I noticed I was bleeding and the bleeding stopped within a few hours and I ended up having a busy day! I have lots of sponges at home, I will definitely try and remember to pack one on my next tour!
-
Have any of you had vaginal intercourse during your period while wearing a tampon? If so, did your punters protest?
-
Have any of you had vaginal intercourse during your period while wearing a tampon? If so, did your punters protest?
Do you mean without having informed the client before starting, that you were on your period?
If you’ve informed them and they’ve agreed then they should understand (one would hope) what they’re getting themselves into. And therefore have little reason to protest.
If you didn’t let them know and it comes as a shock (rightly so I’d say) then they probably have good reason to protest... (other than those with a specific fetish:) men don’t like bleeding, especially unexpected hahahaa
-
Have any of you had vaginal intercourse during your period while wearing a tampon? If so, did your punters protest?
Yes, every month forever. No one ever noticed.
-
Have any of you had vaginal intercourse during your period while wearing a tampon? If so, did your punters protest?
With a boyfriend in my teenage years yes, I've not done it since far too uncomfortable and risky.
Right now I've not had a period for 2 years, I'm not menopausal and hoping they'll return as a sign of restored health (higher bodyfat, and higher food intake).
-
Do you mean without having informed the client before starting, that you were on your period?...
Yes, but having stated, at the booking-stage (which was done by text message) what was on the menu (and having duly excluded from said menu the act of fucking...disingenuous as this BLATANTLY is...)
-
Yes, every month forever. No one ever noticed.
Ya ha ha!
Wow! That's great to hear, SS. Gives me hope as I am fed up with either just not working during period week or using period delay tablets (and then not working during period week as well as suffering agonising abdominal and back pains during the first 2 days, having the heaviest flow ever during the whole period, and having the period last 2-3 days longer too...all "thanks" to Norethisterone!)
-
Right now I've not had a period for 2 years....
Oh no, Mirror. Hoping you return to full health soon.
-
Any alternatives to stopping a period other than the sponge? I have tried many times but can’t remove the sponge alone
-
Oh sorry to hear that Brazil. Maybe you can get some second and third opinions on how to tackle that combo? I stopped having cramps since starting hormone replacement and periods are more regular. Maybe just luck with the dosage. I used to delay the period too by taking extra pills for important weeks or jobs...then I thought it wasn't worth it and stick to my routine.
It's a peculiar thing but when I've got a period I'm guarenteed more bookings for full service, maybe tone of voice related? They always want to be extra close and finger deep in the vag on my period. But I distract them with a few tricks, low lights etc. I don't know if I'm pumping out clouds of 'come and get it hormones'. I never announce restricted services or shrink the menu.
-
Oh sorry to hear that Brazil...
Nah, those things only happen to me when I use Norethisterone! ;D. They are fairly common side-effects, I believe. (That said, I have, on occasion, inexplicably - but HAPPILY - escaped them!)
-
Oh I see lol ;) Good it's not all the time. I didn't know they exist. Interesting I just read a bit about it.
-

Thank god for menopause, dealing with this was such a nightmare, smh. I didn't read all 40 pages of this thread, but I'm sure you guys know about "ruby showers"?
I mean, it totally barfs me out (I'm a fine 1 to talk considering I do mother/son role plays, but to be fair I hate them, & price them so high it keeps clients from asking for them), but it's a thought🤷🏼♀️.
I saw it on someone's website once, obviously it's like golden or brown showers 🚿& would cater to a very specific crowd, but it'd be a great way to make hay while the sun ☀️shines, so to speak😆.
A tarpaulin would be required, haha.
-

Go to your GP and ask for Norithisterone..It's a pill that puts your period on hold for a few days xx
-
I can't imagine having a sex with a tampon in. If you really want to do penetrative bookings during your time of the month, surely a sponge is the way to go? I've always just taken a few days off.
-
Have any of you had vaginal intercourse during your period while wearing a tampon?
Any sex that I've had with a tampon in always pushed the tampon wayyy further up past my cervix so 1) rendered the tampon useless so just bled anyway, 2) meant I had to try to find and push/pull out the tampon afterwards.
-
I take the pill norethisterone 5mg
It’s a period delay pill and it’s brilliant for me
You can get it online . I get 60 tablets for generally around £20 -£25
Your supposed to take 3 a day but I generally take 1or 2 to make them last longer
It’s also helped massively with my mood I am no longer the bitch from Hell the week before my period is due

That's exactly what I do although you do have to be careful as recently when I've taken it for too long it's backfired and period tries to come anyway! This week I needed to earn my rent and other expenses as off from Saturday on holiday but I've had to stop the pills, which will now bring on a normal period, as was having breakthrough bleeding!
It's typical that whenever I'm on my period nearly everyone wants sex (I don't want to use sponge so have to restrict services) and when I'm not at least half aren't bothered about sex and going down there :FF
-
I've always taken time off for my period but tried a sponge for the first time yesterday for my working day and it was great!
I'll def use sponges now, but if one of my working days falls on the 1st or 2nd day of my period, I'd just take the day off as I'm always really tender and my flow is super heavy.
Only thing was I reeeally didn't enjoy my boobs being touched because they are always sore during my time of the month.
I asked my first client, who is a lovely regular, whether he could feel anything up there and he confirmed he couldn't tell at all. I had no problems fishing the sponge out after which I was a bit anxious about in the beginning.
I'm right in thinking you throw away the sponge after one use, right? I was doing, anyway.
-
i usually buy them online but i got my period this afternoon and i need them for tomorrow. went to 2 pharmacies and they didn't hv them. do you know if i can get them at boots, superdrugs or where?
-
I haven't seen them there, but you can make hand crafted ones from cheap artificial wash sponges ....cut em up to shape.
I tried it a couple times.
I've also rammed tight wad of toilet tissue up there when I've been caught without tampons, works fine.
-
I would always discourage ladies from putting anything in their vagina unless it’s a cock, tampon or something that’s designed to go in like a vibrator.
I don’t think there are sponges specifically designed for menstruation.
-

-
I have amazon prime so things are usually delivered next day. I buy a German brand. Otherwise, what salty said, cut up a cheap sponge from the chemist. I've heard of ladies doing this with washing up sponges too in an emergency.
-

Very true. I used a sponge long time ago it got stuck i got badly infected from it and was in hospital and told by hospital these are dangerous to use.

Evening ladies
Was wondering if anyone has tried the ziggy menstrual cup? It’s basically a cup you can wear but also have sex still. I have such annoying irregular heavy periods that sponges do not work for me so looking for a more durable option.
My doctor has prescribed me with tranexamic acid so least they are now lighter. Still a big problem for me though and found the ziggy cup as a possible way of getting around my problem. I found it on amazon around 30 quid so fingers crossed it does the job.
Hoping some ladies here have heard of it.
Thanks xx
-
I don’t think there are sponges specifically designed for menstruation.
Synthetic menstrual sponges/sponge tampons are manufactured by Beppy and Gynotex, and natural sea sponge ones by SeaPearls (or they used to be - there are likely others too). They've been around for as long as I can remember and are alao marketed to swimmers.
Using household sponges which are full of unpleasant chemicals and are likely to shed tiny fragments that can embed themselves inside you and cause all manner of shite, is the road to madness (and more than likely the hospital).
-
Oh I didn't know that Amy ??? I looked it up and the same applies to natural sea sponge, garlic and loads of the 'new age' stuff moon cups etc all risk the bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (Toxic Shock Syndrome). Out of around 40 cases of tampon related TSS per year, 2 will die from the infection. Not massive but worth knowing. (In comparison round 5,000 die from choking on food each year...knell :o)
I always knew tampons aren't sterilised but didn't know Beppy sponges are!
-
Has anyone used this? I’m testing it today didn’t have much luck with mestrual cups. I could feel it after putting in but seems okay now. Will be testing it with sex soon. I think my cervix is short so worried it’s not all gone in properly. I’ve had to do this since getting a coil I have heavy periods for 7 days.
-
I have this as well but waiting for my time of the month. I also posted this as a question for wearing it during work but not had any response babe. I am hoping to test it with the bf next week lol
-
I’ve seen two clients for half an hour but not had the chance to try it with penetration yet. One did try to finger me but I had to say no because you can obviously feel it.
-
Just wondered, if he can feel it with his finger can't they feel it with their winkle?
Is it that fingers can work out shapes and edges better?
-
I’m assuming with sex they may not work out what it is and perhaps you could say it’s a cap so they don’t get funny about working on your period.
-
yes I agree...;D Can't wait to hear the report!
-
Well only managed to see two today and no penetration. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be busier as I started later today. I might actually get to try it.
-
Ooh thanks to this thread I have ordered a ziggy cup. I use the disposable cups but this is even better and silicone
-
Cup seems fine but my period is very light this time anyway
-
I worked the other day on the 2nd day of my period (always my heaviest day). Used a sponge for a 2 hour booking, first hour went by fine but by the 2nd, I’d started to leak and even when I went to change the sponge I was obviously bleeding a little too much because that one didn’t soak up anything very well.
Luckily my client was okay about it, and I was only seeing him that day anyway.
At least now I know not to work at all if it’s the 1st or 2nd day of my period Cos nothing, least not a sponge, is stopping my flow!
-
I've never posted before,I just usually read...But maybe I can help somebody? I've started using Norethisterone (it's a period delay pill)...So I try to buy at least 60-90pills (from Superdrug and Lloyds online doctor )and take 3 pills daily like for the first week, and then 2 pills daily( as the hormones build up and my breasts do get very tender)...You have to take it 2-3 days before your period starts,and it will delay it completely...The downside is that when I stop taking it my period comes heavier than usual,and I get more cramps than usual...So now I just buy enough pills to work like for a month or so without stopping and put enough money together ( I do escorting like 3-4 days weekly) then take a couple of weeks off for my period...
Have any lady tried Norethisterone before?

I get prescribed it a few times a year as I wont have a period for a couple months then when I do get a period I dont stop bleeding (heavily) for months making me really ill. I swear by them!! All contraceptive makes me constantly bleed and this seems to be the only thing that stops them. I take 2 tablets on the day I get them and the following day it has stopped so I stop taking the pills to save them for next time as then I wont have a period for a month or so after those 2 tablets.
-
Hi. So I don’t ever have periods. When I do it’s a small amount of bleeding, nothing that requires a pad etc. But it does mean I can’t offer penetration or RO because it would inevitably end up with the condom + clients tongue having something horrid on it.
Since I never have periods when this happens (it would seem once or twice a year) it’s a complete surprise to me and there’s no cramps with it so I can’t predict it at all.
Ergo I find myself in this situation again this year (last time was March/April I believe).
And having incalls booked ive had to explain to clients that I won’t be able to offer RO or penetration in their sessions.
Would you be blunt and just explain that you’ve got your period ?
Or a different excuse ? Cancel them altogether ?
Be honest and give them the choice ?
Thanks for your advice in advance x
-
I had a surprise period during a tour and it only effected my last booking so I thought why not tell him and I did. He was totally fine with it and grateful I was honest. I was very light so he wasn’t bothered with having penetration with condoms and towels handy. It barely effected him and although I was worried what would appear when he removed himself I was surprised to see how little it was.
I had just started and so it was only spotting. I know some guys in my personal life you mention the P word and they run a mile. Decent guys accept that it’s natural and work around it. 1 guy I know LOVES it.....eeeek!
-
I've no patience with men who don't understand women's biology. I'm 52 and my last 'proper' period was in June 2018, but since then I've had two surprise one and a couple of breakthrough bleeds. I just tell clients and let them decide whether to carry on or cancel if it's just 'staining', but if it's full-on bleeding I ask for a rain check.
-
If you’re worried about it affecting business, you could always use beppy sponges. Just keep them around in case you come on. I have a monthly period, so if I didn’t use them I’d have had to take 1 week off a month. As long as you change them between each client if you’re heavy, I never had a leakage

Thankyou for the tip. I might get some for future surprises. I’ve never used them before though. And I’d be too worried about leaks etc probably xx
-
They’re pretty easy to insert. If the client is big and pushes them up it might take a little squatting and reaching to get them out but they’re big enough not to get stuck or lost lol. They absorb a hell of a lot so popping one in just before a client then taking it out afterwards there should be no leakage or evidence on the condom at all. I swear by them and I’m an extremely heavy bleeder
X
-
I use the sponges too, although I did leak during a booking even after stopping to change it for a new one. But that’s the only time I’ve leaked. I wouldn’t work if it was my first or second day of bleeding because I’m heavy and in too much pain for sex and being touched anyway.
I got given wrong (and bad) advice that you can re use the sponges if you clean them. I got the worse case of thrush I’ve ever experienced so DONT re-use! (This may be obvious to some people but it was a lady at a sexual health clinic who told me I could use them again!!!)
I buy a pack of 8 off of amazon every month and use one per client if I’m working on my third or fourth period day.
Ps - years ago, I came on my period during a booking and told the client - he actually found it a big turn on.. each to their own, eh!
-
I don't! Never told a client I have a period.
Oh I see unexpected bleeding, that's a drag.
I always have my hand over the condom when they withdraw so they have no visuals and I distract them if one in a million there's a speck of blood.
I also have lots of thick wipe-up paper at hand's reach and cover his cock as I remove the condom. That again blocks the visuals.
I do all the clean up so it's a bit of magician hand-eye distraction.
It didn't occur to me to stop working during my periods doing this job.... how many years!
I bung an extra tampon up sideways and 'don't panic carry on'. The tampon is so effective no significant blood escapes.
I have tons of sponges but rarely bother unless he's a obsessive oral giver or finger poker.
A few threads on this around here I think.
-
It depends if I needed the money. Yes.... Say nothing using a sponge inside.
No.... Sorry, I am fully booked.
-
sponges & black condoms ;D
-
One of the reasons these are made are to have sex during your period. I love them and started using them instead of tampax https://flexfits.uk/
And dark coloured condoms of course x
-
Flex fits are the best thing I have ever bought ! Can use for 12 hours sex swimming etc and if I’m paronoid about leakage whilst using one I use coloured condoms
-
I do'nt feel well enough to work the first couple of days. After that I see how I am feeling. I offer anal so I either use Beppy and do vaginal still as usual or mention it is mother nature and that I can just do oral and anal services.
I am really hoping they stop soon. I am 56 and have had enough of them! I had an 8 month reprieve then they returned in September!
It stops me doing tours too as I never can plan they have been erratic for over three years and apart from a nasty migraine coming beforehand can't tell when it will appear as the migraine can drag on for weeks.
If men had periods there would be more help available oh well joys of being female.
-
I use baby wipes. I wash 2 of them with warm water, fold them and put them inside. It's very easy to remove and if you change them for every booking you won't have an accident.

that might not be suitable for everyone as it will mess up the PH levels or leave an itch at the very least, If I use them to wipe myself they sting so I have to use proper toilet wipes. I might try those water wipes (to wipe) though as they sound more gentle x

I really wouldn't advise doing that... They're not sterile and could shed fibres.
-
I would get thrush in no time if I put baby wipes up my vagina. Mine is too sensitive for too many foreign bodies.

I know it's not the best but the sponges are so hard to remove....that's why in general I avoid working at this time of the month.

Same. Last time I had to get it removed in A&E. Hence it being my last time using sponges. It’s a pain taking the time of my period off, especially as mine can last up to a week, but I just don’t work it now.

Ladies try the flex disposable cups they are made so you can have sex during this time. They are a bit messy at first when you take them out but they are a life saver if you dont want to reduce services, if not make a big thing about blow job special services during that time x

Or contact this jolly chappy when the painters and decorators are in. We could see him on a rota on appropriate days. Problem solved.

Looking for period play, want to pull tampon out with teeth and then go down on you ;)"

I am still quite new and I thought about it beforehand and I brought one of those flat menstrual cups because they are designed for it. They are great when you have a bit of heavy spotting but once the full flow came in, it was useless. I don't think it fits every woman very well....so that was £24 down the drain.
I took the heavy days off last month and this month coincides with my holiday but I am still unsure about next month, maybe I will go the sponge and black condom route. My ex used a menstrual sponge and found it really effective but I doubt I will fancy working on the two heavy flow days anyway as I am just too uncomfortable (I tend to bloat REALLY badly). x
-
My problem is the sponges go right up and I can’t get them back out :( so annoying
-
There are techniques to help the sponges come out.
Open legs in squat position really wide, put shower head in direction of your vagina and it will help ease it out.
Ideally wait half an hour after a booking although not viable if we are doing bookings without much of a gap.
One time my Beppy got stuck inside and I had to go to the walk in centre and make up an excuse.
I also find when the period is very light but still needs a beppy or sponge inside for the booking that my vagina can feel a bit chafed. Although that may be from too much wiping as my recent flow was quite heavy so I might have made it quite sore.
I put a bit of Lanacane on twice yesterday and feel good to go today.
I think I will get better quality toilet paper next period .... Too much vigorous wiping can't do my private parts much good!

Personally I think it's unwise to work during your period. It's only 4-5 days a month, and it serves as a natural break to give your body a rest, focus on other stuff (marketing, for example). It also won't do your reputation any good if punters realise - unless you're offering period play, of course.
Very good point made by Kay here. Thank you. Yes I personally prefer to take a little break to give my body some rest for those 4/5 days, and refrain from accepting any bookings when I'm on my period. And instead I tend to tweak my AdultWork profile a bit, upload new pictures to my private gallery, go on DirectCam, etc. :)
-
I do take a break from working on my period as it just seems to “stuff” everything up in the wrong way
You have to literally let your body DETOX
I remember once I had a booking period came
I shoved a tampon too far up Lol

I left my flat cup in the whole time I had Covid, I was wondering why my period was so weird........
Soooooo, yeah, sod that flat cap, I have decided to just say I am available for massage and such, some men just want to play with the boobage anyway.
Though if I am seriously bloated and in pain I won't be going anywhere.

I don't work through my period but 3 times when there was just the tiniest trace of blood occasionally I have worked. To be honest you wouldn't even notice it it was so little, but being paranoid and feeling slightly guilty I have used beppy sponges for those times. This resulted in me being twice to A&E and once to the doctors. The second A&E visit was excruciating, the hottest doctor ever (they didn't have any female docs free) fishing out a smelly used sponge. Never again. I just wouldn't put myself through the shame again! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Hi there, I’m in my late 40’s and found it such a pain I got the Merina coil put it. It’s amazing!No more bleeding at all, just a tiny drip sometimes but it’s magic! You’re fully protected. First few weeks it gave cramps on and off but it’s so worth it. Perhaps you should look into it.

hello ladies... I am not one to let anything deter from making money, especially periods. For a bit of background I only work one two days a week so I Mother Nature calls and I've already spent money booking a place I cant really afford to not work.
Any advice on what to use? At the moment I just use a regular sponge that I cut into a smaller piece but I once worked with this girl who had these specific period sponges?
Thanks!

Have you not read through this thread? personally I wouldn’t be sticking anything up me that’s not designed for that purpose. I work during my period and just offer reduce services and only 15 mins and 30 min bookings. I ensure clients know in advance and rarely have a cancellation. Most are more satisfied with just OWO and anal anyway.

::) Same thing happened to me and I thought never again! I was convinced I had toxic shock syndrome. I just wouldn't work on my periods after that.

Hi,
I was wondering if a lot of you work during their period ?
Have you ever had any complain about the smell (even with a sponge inside) if the client decides to give you oral ? Or if there is a bit of a "red tint" at the top of the condom for example
Do you change your sponge between each client ?
Thanks
-
Merged.
The 44 pages of discussion above should help :)
-
You will find some men to be really squeamish about blood, so the merest hint of it on a condom will freak them out. If they are prolific reviewers, they will mention the fact you're working through your period. Obviously don't let this deter you, some men are incredibly infantile and ignorant when it comes to menstruation.
I know that when I used to menstruate, I tasted a lot more metallic. While I was happy to have sex with boyfriends during my period, I would never have do so with a paying a client. But, many do work through their period, so it is up to you to find a way that suits you/your clients.
Another option is to not work during (the heaviest part of) your period, or else offer a limited service of oral (on him) and hand relief.

I work during my period but I tell prospective clients when they first enquire and leave the choice with them.
A lot decide to leave it but some still like to go ahead. I don't bother using sponges or anything similar.
-
I came on my period in a booking once and I said to the client do you want some refund I’m so sorry and he said “F that” let’s carry on. He was fit as well. Can’t say I was that comfortable being this familiar but he was fine.
I have worked through my period for 7 years I have huge mortgage and other family relying on me financially and I work like a dog. Never had a client complain or any reviews written about me. I change the sponge between each client to make myself feel more secure that it won’t leak.
-
Personal choice, but I never worked through a period or used sponges. I think it's healthy to have a little break each month, and be relaxed during bookings, not stressed about leaks, smells etc.

Me either, I had an ectropion when I first started so used to spot very often so brought one of those period flat cups and it worked for that, but didn't pass muster for my actual period and frankly I couldn't handle that stress, the sheets are completely white, there is no hiding when it comes to any leaks.

Hi all,
I've had my current period for over 10 days now, no clue why it's been so long but it's still just about enough to not allow me to work so I've been looking at sponges, you can buy them online but does anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells them in a shop so I can go get one today?
Also if not, which brand or online shops should I get one from? Any recommendations?
Thanks :)
-
Beppy sponges are great, I've used them and you can get them on Amazon.

Hi Sophie,
I always use the Beppy sponges (the wet ones always : easier to apply). I buy them on the website Stressnomore.co.uk, the delivery is always very fast.
When my period is heavy, I usually put 2 sponges inside at the same time, which is a good trick to prevent any blood from coming out because sometimes if your flow is fairly heavy, then only one sponge at a time is not enough and can cause some small leaks on the top of the condom or even on the bed sometimes (and obviously as we all know some clients are scared of period blood (lack of knowledge probably) and can lead to bad reactions :(
-

I've merged this with the main thread, since it's pretty general and we don't need two :)
Are you somewhere that Amazon will deliver same day? I don't know any physical stores that sell menstrual.sponges although you could ask at the pharmacy.

I buy beppy and another brand from amazon. I literally ran out of beppy and was still in my period so ordered a different brand (not as good) on amazon prime. It did come the next day fortunately
-
Gynotex dry soft tampons were the other ones. Cheaper than beppy but they were dry not wet and I like the wet ones.
-
Another vote for Beppy wets.
Stock up when you can because all supplies seem to cum and go - so don't leave it to order until the week before you are on.
Even with Beppy, I take a bath before an appointment
-
Are these beppy sponges easy to take out? I had a incident many years ago where I used a normal sponge and it got stuck inside! I ended up having to go to A&E to get it removed and even then it took 3 different people to try and remove it so it has kind of put me off but I need to work this week and due on :(

First time tricky but it's just getting the hang of it. I've never had to go to a&e.

Me too used one years ago would not come out had to go hospital. Doctors warned me never to use sponges for periods as dangerous. I ended up ill from it little bits can break off. Never used one since i just don't work when on periods plus i just also think hygiene reasons it's not for me to work plus bloated belly etc.

Scary isn't it! I was panicking thinking I had toxic shock syndrome. After that incident like you I just wouldn't work when it's that time of the month and probably for the same reasons too plus I'd be constantly paranoid wondering if I have leaked or worst of all smell like periods not to mention I can get super moody.

I sometimes work through my period by either offering period play to those that enjoy it or by offering a reduced rate for reduced service and it’s been quite popular. I usually charge £200p/h so dropping to £150 seems inviting to some. I wear a tampon and tuck the string inside. I explain they can treat me as normal but nothing inside. Has worked well before.
Most months I take the week off but if I want extra money then I just do the above

I think I've got a very deep fanny lol because my fingers and limbs are quite long but it was such a struggle.

What do they usually do when it's the reduced service? I did think to do something similar but just offer then anal with a strap on. I've started my periods a week early and it's really heavy which is really annoying because I had a booking today and it just randomly started. Thank god I was at home.

Laughed at that, but could be true, I used to work in healthcare and sometimes we needed longer speculams.

Pretty much the same as usual but no sex. Oral both ways or just them playing with my clit with fingers, use my wand, a lot of attention on them, massage, hand job, blow job, finish on my breasts etc - I find a few of my clients don’t have full service anyway as they cum with oral so I think there’s deffo clients that aren’t that bothered about full sex as long as they get some tits in their face and a finish ;D
