I feel I would be amiss in my green duties if I never mentioned in here that I'm trying out a menstrual cup again. I tried one back in college, and didn't have quite enough success to make me switch from pads. However, I since found a great community on LJ (
menstrual_cups) and got some new tips, not to mention I'm a little older and wiser and my period itself has changed.
Last month went very well, and, strangely, I'm actually kind of looking forward to my period this week so I can ensure it wasn't just a fluke, and that I can have consistent success with it. I'm proud of my trying again, and anticipating being able to make the switch for good this time through.
I know some of my friends might be the type to consider them, so I thought I would link to
this contest, where you can enter to win one by writing a paragraph or two about why you would try one. How cool would that be?
