No, but the top part of my bikini popped as I danced into the sea on the Costa da something in Spain many years ago. (Many years ago, before the days of topless beaches.) And yes, there was someone in the group who had a camera to hand.....

I don't know why it works, it (together with all homeopathic remedies) shouldn't work, but it does. The x30c preparation works even better but you really need that only on very rare occasions, it's mighty strong. It won't clash with any other 'proper' medication and shouldn't have any adverse side effects: it's worth trying, I can vouch for it.
It's awful, but at least it only lasts for a while. But yeah, it's a horrible feeling, especially if you can't take any painkillers for some reason.Quote:

I've seen those before I wanted to try them in theory but in reality I'll take a tampon any day over pads.
I think they have organic non-bleached tampons too. The tampons that you get from the store have a lot of bleach in them, and the mucosa in your vagina is really absorptive. The bleach gets into the bloodstream.
I wish painkillers worked :( My cramps last the whole damn period and radiate down to my knees. I don't just get abdominal cramps, my whole body aches. My doc gave me anti-inflammatories for my knees, but they don't make the cramps any better. The cramps get so bad I feel sick to my stomach.Quote:

Opposite:( I can't sleep and I lose my appetite.Quote:

It's really great. I haven't spent money on menstruation in like, four years. You just wash them like normal, it's really a lot more healthy for women and the environment. Actually, now that I've been using them so long those chemically-processed diapers seem kind of revolting to me. Tampons absolutely disgust me. Inserting a bleached plug into myself has never seemed quite right.Quote:

I reccomend this book for every woman.
This is a good one, too:Quote:

Hey, you! No boys allowed!
Juniper, this is my solemn vow to you: I will never, EVER set foot in this thread again. Please, feel free to discuss the vagina's rate of absorption with impunity.
I don't think I could possibly express to you how sorry I am that I ventured into this thread. Seriously.
Well Basil, I can clearly detect the note of sincerity in your apology so just this one time I'm willing to wave the usual penalty enforced on any male that trespasses on this thread... but you've been warned, should this ever happen again...
