So, [livejournal.com profile] sonnlich posted a link to this interesting article about the way menstruation is still a pretty taboo subject, even though a lot of guys probably wouldn't actually freak out if women brings it up. So, a poll.

Nb: when I say "mention" I just mean in vague, non-gross terms like "Crap! Out of tampons" or "Ow. Cramps", not going into icky detail. The same way one might talk about having gastro or a runny nose.

They don't work for everybody, though, and not all the time for many of those they work for at all.

I have a menstrual cup, which for various anatomy reasons, I am only able to comfortably use maybe 1 in every 2 periods, and I'm not inclined to use it for some of the time in that period.

That's interesting. I know that they don't work for everyone, but I'm interested to hear that you can only use them comfortably sometimes. Does it get too hard to put in, or will it not sit right or something?

I think that sometimes my cervix sits too low so the end is poking out, or at the very least poking into my more sensitive tissues (though I've trimmed the stem). That is really uncomfortable when I walk, or do anything much really.

I know instructions say you can and should wear it low in the vagina- but I constantly feel it that way.
