My Vagina and other things
In accordance with my new earth mother/hippie vibe I have been, well, vibing to for the past few months, I decided to take another step towards making my body one with nature and buy a mooncup (like I would ever go off the pill!) What is a mooncup (www.mooncup.co.uk) you ask? It's a silicone cup that sits just inside the vagina and is held in place by the vaginal wall muscles and collects menstrual fluid. Basically I shove it up my cooch to catch my period blood. It's reusable, less expensive, less risky, and totally cooler than tampons. I had to order it from the UK and I just got it in the mail today after waiting for a long three weeks. Opening the package was better than when I got my easy bake oven for Christmas when I was five. So I decided to try it out. At first sight it looked big. And this was a problem for me because, to put it in the best terms possible, I have a tight pussy. And I like it that way. So even though it was silicone and very bendy I was still scared. But it worked out pretty good. I got the size B which is for women who have not had a baby and are under 30. You have to fold it first and then once it is inserted it opens up inside you sort of like a tampon absorbs, but it doesn't go as far up as a tampon, which actually might be a good thing considering I had a scary experience with a tampon applicator last period, but that is a whole other blog. Anyway, it was a little uncomfortable inserting it, but once I got it in it was fine. I have to trim a little of the stem (the part you hold while you put it in), but I think it will work just fine. The only problem was that I had to take off both my jeans and underwear and squat to put it in, which might prove difficult if I am in a public bathroom, and at the very least grounds for arrest for indecent exposure. The only other problem I can forsee is possibly the suction. The suction also holds it inside the vagina, but like I said before, I'm tight and I don't necessarily need the suction. But when they say suction they mean suction and for a few seconds I was afraid I had aborted something, but I was able to ease it out and my vaginal walls remain intact. I am skipping my next period because I will be in El Salvador with limited facilities, so I will officially break in the mooncup in June. Very exciting indeed. Oh and not only did I help the environment by buying such a environmentally friendly product, but I also found my g-spot in the process. Al Gore was right all along.
