Ode to my menstrual cup

The begining:
My cup came and I awaited my period to see what it was like to use one. My period came and I eargerly went and got the cup to use it. I folded it and tried to get it inside. This was more difficult to do than it was with tampons but after a few tries I got it in. When I went to remove it later, I had problems but I managed and soon realized how much easier this was. There was nothing to throw away, so I didn't have to worry about there being a trashcan. I simply emptied it and cleaned it out with toilet paper the way the pamphlet said.
The middle:
There is defintely a learning curve with using the cup but I caught on quickly and soon realized how much better this is. I don't have to worry about leaking, as it is big enough that it only needs to be changed twice a day. I don't have to worry about changing in a public restroom that is not necessarily clean. I feel more connected to my body and more in tune with what it is doing.
The end:
Most importantly though, I don't have to worry about TSS. Because of all the problems that I have with my period, I bleed a lot. Therefore, I have to use large tampons which increase the risk of TSS. I was always fearful that I was going to get it and die. I no longer have to worry about that. The menstrual cup is amazing. It makes dealing with my period so much easier. Its helpful and easy to use. I really wish more women would think about using them, especially ones who have problems with their periods or who bleed heavily.
