Mine only leaks a little towards the end of my period... have loved it for Seven easy breezy years and though I agree with the mess thing a little, I actually like that it helps me stay more connected to my body... it's blood, right there... yep. :)<br /><br />2. I am considering getting an IUD THIS WEEK, so glad to have your article and your thoughts about it, in addition to the note that the cup may not be good to use with the IUD. I am in Santiago now and looking for a gyno... any recommendations are appreciated. :)<br /><br />3. I dig your condor and your ability to humbly laugh at yourself a bit while divulging these thoughts... super.

How was I suppose to shave my legs when my cream doesn't smell like strawberries and kiwis?! And no extra vitamin E for a SOFTER skin?! So yeah... no tampons would be a deal breaker for me. <br />I do have the imaginary conversations, but my husband is way worse - he has a bad dream about us fighting or me cheating on him and then sulks for days!mrs.notouchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839832913532091394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-40574908603576090532010-07-02T21:17:54.228-05:002010-07-02T21:17:54.228-05:00you can get OB in Argentina, and much cheaper than...you can get OB in Argentina, and much cheaper than in Chile, so head on over! And there are a few different cup options if you decide you want to go that route. Diva and something else, too. And no leakage! And no burying stuff in your friends' trash when you go visit. Enviro excellent! but also, OB in Argentina. Don't forget that.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592471325011611637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-90440790944682847512010-07-02T15:12:58.373-05:002010-07-02T15:12:58.373-05:00It's just comforting to know other women strug...It's just comforting to know other women struggle with the same thing I do!

They are expensive. I think the smallest box (of like 8 tampons) costs somewhere around 2.000 pesos, depending where you buy. I find Jumbo has the most variety. <br /><br />I've been contemplating the Diva cup too...but it's expensive and I don't want to spend the money to have it leak everywhere. <br /><br />So for now, I just stock up at Costco when I'm home. <br /><br />Also, I understand your aversion to hormones. But, I've been on the pill for six years and I'm pretty sure you don't feel as though you're pregnant...I mean I've never been pregnant but if this is what it feels like, it's a walk in the park (and I imagine that's not the case!!)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075825428106584802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-51212467551008748652010-07-01T19:11:40.123-05:002010-07-01T19:11:40.123-05:00Yes, I am a total OB girl.

He spent 2 days looking after our then 14 month old and 2 1/2 year old and somehow, somehow this made him decide not to get the job done. He was on his own with number 4. A few weeks later in a house of 4 females, 3 of them under the age of 3, and one of them exhausted, hormonal and emotional due to the other 3, he realised the error of his ways. Luckily the general surgeon that did the job was visiting our tiny island of 2000 people a month later, so off he went (with the full knowledge that the entire town etc knew what was going on, the men lined up at the clinic that day were all there for the same reason). Strangely enough he never managed to take in a sample after the job, to see if it had worked, just too small a town for that! But, what a relief!! I am with you on the whole hormone thing, I am glad I don't have to worry about it.<br /><br />PS I finally started my blog, spurred on by such an interesting evening last night :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15905925869106660905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-75302303018875955552010-07-01T18:09:16.809-05:002010-07-01T18:09:16.809-05:00Conversations with someone in my head?

I heard the IUD is incredibly effective with very little side effects, so that's cool. I've been lucky with my birth control as well - I know some friends of mine had a really rough time with their birth control.<br /><br />As for the cup... it's incredibly environmentally friendly which is why I wish I could use it... alas, I'm terrified that I'd leak. <br /><br />There, now you're not the only one who's overshared!Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625992520099785293.post-69176851846298708842010-07-01T16:27:54.073-05:002010-07-01T16:27:54.073-05:00Let me assuage your fears: tampons aren't hard...Let me assuage your fears: tampons aren't hard to find here anymore. They're expensive, yes, and they only come in small boxes, but pretty much every pharmacy has them. There's even some variety - Tampax vs. Playtex, the compact ones vs. normal - but I haven't seen OB. So do bring those if they're your preference.<br /><br />As far as the conversations in your head and potentially having to leave your husband, you're on your own :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607426693149156398noreply@blogger.com
