Right, so. I am of the opinion that I don't give two shits anymore about my period and who knows I have it. I've given up caring about whether or not I get it in a cafe or somewhere and have to ask a total stranger if they have any tampons. I no longer care.
Because seriously, we all get it. (Well, all genetic females with working ovaries do anyway)
What I do care about, is the fact that pads are horrid to deal with, and I'm sick to death of tampons rubbing my insides raw. Which is my fault, I'm aware. I buy ones that have too much absorbancy, but if I by smaller ones, I won't change it in time before I stain my clothes. So yeah.
So, recently I have come across a thing called a menstrual cup, I have looked up reviews, I have looked up how to use them, I am completely comfortable with having to dig through my bits to get it out and insert it, so I'm fine with all that. And have made the very important decision that I want one.
Problem is. They aren't sold in stores here in Australia (or at least not in Victoria as far as I know). So I've tried finding them online, and the cheapest I've found has been fifty dollars, plus some ridiculous amount for postage. In the long run, I know that would be cheaper than disposables, but I don't have that kind of money right now. So, does anyone know a way I can get one cheaper?
Or will I just have to settle with tampons?
