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

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.

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?

 

Are the ones from amazon no good?
