….all this is making me really appreciate how untroublesome my minge is, which I think supports my decision not to ever try to force something the size of a watermelon out of it.

You know, mine’s actually pretty untroublesome too! I don’t mean to come across ungrateful, she’s very well-behaved on the whole. But the whole situation takes some managing. I can’t imagine how temperamental it all would get after using the entire area for its evolutionarily-designed purpose. I mean, I’m sure I’d deal, and mileage varies, but Lord, the logistics.

Oh and while I think of it: always infinity pads. They are So Much Nicer than other ones I’ve used - like they actually deliver on keeping you dry. Well. They can’t do much about it if you lift something heavy and suddenly squirt out what feels like a party-size jelly but other than that…

I haven’t been able to find those, I’ve had them recommended before. It’s just– so much garbage. I can’t abide it. And I hate the diaper-like crinkle, and they tend to irritate the creases of my legs even if they’re the super-dry-absorbent ones, after a few days. 

And sometimes it’s just all party-size jelly, all day long, and it doesn’t matter what you’ve got on. That doesn’t happen every time, but it’s getting less predictable as I’m getting older!

Sometimes I feel put-upon and grumble about the attendant difficulties of the entire uterus-etcetera system, but then I think, at least my gonads do not dangle outside of my body all of the time, because honestly that seems like a hassle and a half.

oh great! 

In fact, here we go! (Funny story, I know a guy who works for the Wirecutter. I bet he wasn’t involved in this story.)

Wirecutter: The Best Menstrual Cup

There is a very vocal community of menstrual cup users, and as part of our research we read through several very comprehensive blogs and websites that reviewed and discussed the ins and outs of every menstrual cup model we could find. We also read through hundreds of reviews on Amazon for over 20 different cup models, including ones we didn’t wind up testing. And because using a standard medical-model vagina wouldn’t really simulate the stretchiness and hug of the real thing, we invested nearly 12 hours in trying to build the most functionally realistic model possible.

This was a great read! I mean, the Wirecutter is amazing, if… perhaps over-comprehensive. But.

I kept cracking up at some of the descriptors, though. Describing the vagina as either “long” or “wide” was just… humorous and I don’t know why. Maybe because I’m inwardly twelve. I want to know now, though, if I have a Long Vagina or not. I mean, clearly this is a morally neutral condition, but it just sounds entertaining. 

Maybe my cervix is not as high as I might have assumed. I do appreciate the pointers in this article on how to tell. I think a smaller/shorter cup might help me not feel it so much, but I also don’t think it’s going to solve the cramps.

The Best Menstrual Cup:

I’m gonna post this as a freestanding link apart from all the recent meandering discussion, because this really is such a good resource. It even has useful tips on how to measure yourself before you buy a cup, so you’re more likely to get one that will work for you.

like, if you’re a camera person that will probably be unexceptional and not particularly interesting, but to those of us on the fandom portion of the internet, that’s a mystifying and vaguely terrifying label for a box, no?
