I need to go to the store for tampons and I can't find my ibuprofen (am I out?) so I should get a bottle. Oh, and I want a bit of chocolate too. Can I get any more cliche?

Woo~ period party~!

I'm getting my septum pierced! Your picture of yours kind of convinced me to do it.

Right on!

I'm not sure what your piercer will tell you as far as aftercare goes, but I really liked soaking my piercing with warm saline.
1/8 tsp sea salt mixed with a cup of warm water. At first I tried sticking my whole nose in the water which is a total pain in the ass. Instead I'd take a bit of cotton ball, soak it in the water, stick it in my nose and let it sit there for a few minutes. It'll feel really weird but it helps.

Yeah, I read the way to go is a simple saline solution, clean a little bit, and LITHA (leave it the hell alone). :)

Did it hurt when you got it? I've heard mixed reactions. I'm not gauging my own pain on that though; just curious.

The actual piercing didn't hurt much at all. Putting the jewelry in and then having him bend it back into shape was more uncomfortable for me. I have little nostrils, YMMV.

Kind of TMI, but my periods are now actually pleasant and uneventful since I switched to the diva cup (many, many years ago) Mainly because tampons were always sixteen kinds of uncomfortable. Also, I can't say this for everyone, but I swear my cramps stopped for the most part.

Dude I'd love to have uneventful periods. How long did it take you to get the hang of how to use it? I'm worried that I won't put it in properly and it'd leak or something.

It's pretty easy to use after about two months of getting used to it. There's a point at which you know that it's in correctly. It's kind of a lightbulb moment, where you figure out the exact way to do it, haha.

Haha yeah, I really agree here. Definitely get the smaller size, the larger size is for women who have had two or more babies, so no matter how enormous you think your vag is, it's not that big :/ I got the hang of it pretty fast, but I just cut ALL of the stem off (it was hella uncomfortable otherwise) and got good at keigles. Fast.
