Conquering heavy periods 👑

So AF arrived again which is a double edged sword. Means I’m not pregnant obviously, but also that I have to spend much of my time sitting on the toilet- unable to stop watching in horrified fascination at the massacre that is pouring out of me.

After changing a super tampon for the 5th time in 8 hours I just about wanted to cry.

I hated the heavy feeling and knowing that I was leaking despite it barely being an hour. Having to excuse myself at work once again for a bathroom break, and then sitting in there knowing there was no point wiping because the dam was in full flow so might as well let it do its thing 🤷‍♀️

My period literally interrupts my life in more ways than I can count, and finally, I snapped. I’m out, I’m done, I’m going to lose my shit!

I’ve been deliberating for months whether a menstrual cup would work for me and my heavy flows, but at this point emptying a cup 2-3 times a day sounds a WHOLE lot better than constantly changing tampons during the day, and then switching to pads at home (which do fuuuck all) to prevent an infection 🙄

So after doing my research I ordered a LENA cup - and I feel fucking liberated! 🙌

Although... it’s not arriving until the end of the month 😂 which knowing my luck, I will fall pregnant this cycle and I won’t even need it/get to use it!

But that would be the ultimate win 😍 so bring it on!
