[sadie-bug345]

I love your headcanons! They’re so goofy but character accurate. Anyway I was wondering if you’d maybe do all the greasers + Cherry with a trad goth/alt s/o hcs? Thank you so much!!! 🖤🖤🖤

omg hiiii and your wish is my command‼️🥰

the greasers (+cherry baby) w trad goth / alt s/o!!

ponyboy: - the second you moved into town he was like obsessed - just cause your vibe wasn’t like anyone else’s he’d really met - so he worked up the nerve to talk to you thinking you’d like shun him (bro was fr going thru ALL the possible rejection that could happen😭) - he was like “…hi🖐️😀” and just stood there sweatin up a storm LMAO - and you’re just like “hello?🧍‍♀️” - LOVE CONNECTION INSTANT - yall are the sweetest together and pony’s wardrobe changes a little so it’s more like yours - just cause he loves the way it looks on you sm.

johnny: - your vibe fits his (and dally’s but that’s later🤫) really well - so when he first saw you his exact thoughts were like “man. she’s cool” - so my guy went thru all of ponyboys yearbooks like just trying to find out anything and everything abt you - clubs, sports, music, voted most likely to’s…you name it johnny found it cause he was too scared to approach you at first - pony walked in on him scavenging last years yearbook and was like 😐 this has gotta end my boy - so after some aggressive encouragement from dally, johnny approached you and you guys really hit it off - you guys are like the gangs power couple FOR SURE - everyone loves your style and vibe but johnny especially, duh!

sodapop: - this is definitely an opposites attract sitch - like johnny he saw you and was like “i gotta find out more” cause he had never dated anyone like you before - he probably went up to talk to you and accidentally spilled about how he knew you were in middle school band and played the clarinet but switched to the flute halfway thru seventh grade or smth😭😭🫶 - yall definitely turn heads when you guys are hanging out together - no one can deny the cuteness😔🖐️

darry: -my guy is a little more conservative when it comes to style - we know he be dressing like a divorced dad out here - BUT he noticed you around town and was def intrigued - totally starts listening to the music you like just to have a conversation starter - this boy PLANS - after a while of you guys dating you give him a lil makeover and it’s very sweet (especially cause he needed the wardrobe refresh🫢)

dally: - your vibe and his is super similar, or at least he thinks he’s as effortlessly cool as you🙄 - anyways he was fr like “now this is the kinda person i wanna know” - didn’t need any encouragement to go talk to you *cough* johnny *cough* - either way he tried to start up a convo all “smooth” or whatever and you’re just like “😳uhm anyways…” - kinda gave him the humbling he needs but you thought his unrealized awkwardness was cute - you guys are birds of a feather but he definitely loves showing you off to his friends - just cause he thinks you’re like, actually the coolest - he won’t tell you how he feels but it’s obvious.

two-bit: - this guy is so goofy - sees you from across the room and starts cracking the LOUDEST and DUMBEST jokes just to see you hopefully smile - and he’s funny so you’re like halfway cringing but also halfway dying laughing - you’re probably like “who even is this kid💀” LMAO - anyways after he saw you laugh my dude just talks your ear off - after you get a few words in about your interests and general style bro was so obsessed - he didn’t really think he’d like a girl with your style but he was wronggg - you guys have probably the most fun together out of the group ngl.

steve: - probably heard abt you from soda - LIVES for your outfits like he’s so obsessed he’s like “hmm i wonder what they’re gonna wear today” - just cause he thinks you’re so cool and unique - definitely frequents the places you usually hang out just in the hopes of “casually” running into you LMAO - you guys are super cute though like no one really expected it - which makes it so much better.

cherry: - being a cheerleader she doesn’t usually date people with your style - her exes just are kinda basic - BUT she saw you and was like “oh. so i’m like in love” - HOPELESS ROMANTIC CHERRY🫶😭 - it was like a rom com she like did an actual double take - after you guys start dating you two do everything together - you give her makeovers like all the time - it’s so sweeeeet - plus you kinda revamp her wardrobe - dw she still has THE cherry valance vibe - but she matches your outfits in the little details - matching rings, necklaces, skirts, shoes, anything.

thanks so much to the wonderful person who requested this!! my requests are always open!🧌🥰🫶

Drumroll please…

*insert Alpha and Omega joke*

Bet you guys weren’t anticipating a Leon reveal. (you’re welcome ;3)

He ended up pretty damn close to what I was wanting. He’s not an exact replica (b/c unfortunately there is no RE8 Chris headsculpt boo) and I could only fit so many things on his chest rig/plate vest before he kind of looked ridiculous but I’m very happy with the final product. I may add a couple more things (possible bungees on the right side to hold his handgun and maybe a few smaller details) but for now, I’m very happy.

Now moving onto Leon… obviously he wasn’t in 8 so I got to have some fun with his design. I kind of pulled some elements from Knacknics Leon look and also what was available and settled with a black and tan combo for him. I did another chest rig for him since he’s usually more pared down with gear in the media and minimalized his overall aesthetic. Gave him a sniper rifle because why not (lol. also points back to my comment a few weeks back where I said Leon was also a sniper and I still maintain that assumption) and he gets his typical cargo pants/boot combo and fingerless gloves because what else is he gonna wear? (besides jeans — don’t worry, that’s coming later). He may also get a couple more additions as well if I feel like it but I’ll post updated shots if that happens.

This headsculpt I got for him is very detailed but I’m a bit bummed how Leon is so much tanner than Chris lol (ngl… I took bronzer to the neck piece to try and match the coloring. Still not completely satisfied but oh well). Also, his hair makes him taller than Chris lmao. it’s full of secrets (also I did tuck Leon’s shirt in halfway thru this photoshoot. :3c)

Next project: RE6 China fit for Leon.

[fuffy2002]

i will now rate all 4 sets from 1-4 (1 being best 4 being worst)

1. evanescence. obviously evanescence had the best performance. amy lee was stunningly beautiful even from the lawn. i was worried she wouldnt sound good live but she was AMAZING. ngl i almost cried during My Immortal not even joking. 1000000/10 im an evanescence fan now.

2. korn. what we came for. they were really good!!! it was amazing, jonathan davis is a legend, and the energy at the venue was amazing. people were dancing. unfortunately we had to leave halfway thru their set because it was getting late and we wanted to dip out early to beat traffic, also all the 50 yr old korn fans were super drunk and getting pretty rowdy. 8/10 would see again but probably not in ohio lol

3. helmet. idk much about them but they were super good! really modest and lowkey and nice, really good music. not very theatrical but they were the best opener. 7.5/10 honestly wish they got more applause from the audience ):

4. jeris johnson. motherfucking jeris johnson. im going to go on a rant. i had never heard of jeris johnson before i saw the poster for this concert and then completely forgot about him until we showed up to the venue. he definitely gave me a performance to remember. whoever he was playing with was pretty good, but my god. i need to speak with whoever decided it would be a good idea for this scumbag to open for motherfucking korn and MISS AMY LEE. he was trying wayyyy too hard to be edgy (bro literally said “WHO’S READY TO GET DECAPITATED”. embarrassing.) , only did covers (and did them completely wrong btw im talking wrong lyrics (btw btw he can't sing.)) and at the end asked people to follow him on instagram. tons of people booed him when he said that lmfao. but the story doesnt end there, my dear friends. oh no. i went onto his instagram and this is his most recent video. [trigger warning for ugly white man eating raw bleeding meat and then making out with some random chick]

???WHAT IS THIS SHIT. this is.. idek how to describe this. disgusting. disturbing. cringe. all of the above. most of the comments are hate comments. who is this fool. why did they let this douchebag open. he seems like a very unpleasant person. -10000000/10 don't you EVER disrespect amy lee AGAIN. *grabs throat*

[autisticmob]

HELLO everyone i am now ten days out from my tiddy surgery so i think while everything is still fresh-ish in my mind I should get a rough timeline of how things went for me, just so anyone having similar stuff done in the future can have it as reference?? 

so under the cut is how shit went down, warning we are gonna be tmi about it for Max Information Dissemination, i will be talking about IV placement, Needles, Bleeding, Bruising, Bathroom Stuff In General, etc. so like. Be Warned.

OKAY SO what did i have done and how did i get it:

- i got a bilateral breast reduction with a “T,” “keyhole,” or “anchor-shaped” incision. this procedure, unlike double-incision top surgery, does not detach your nipples at all, but it DOES leave a decent hunk of breast tissue behind to avoid the nip graft. this connecting tissue keeps your nip attached and supplied with enough blood to survive. that means with this one, theres basically a limit to how much they can take off, and it depends on how big you are to start off with. 

- i went with the T-incisions because as a NB person, I wanted to sidestep the “gender-confirming surgery” route with my insurance. technically, I believe it would have been covered if i had gone through the process of talking to a therapist and getting a note that the surgery WOULD help confirm my gender, but i suspect it would have taken much longer, and I was afraid that my doctor and community resources would not have ended up approving me FOR the surgery since I don’t exactly fit the typical trans narrative. and luckily for me i had Massive, Spine-Bending G Cup Tiddies to contend with. so every doc that took a look at me said “yeah, you need those taken care of for medical reasons.” so i thought hey, let’s see how far this will get me!

- i talked to my primary care doc about my back pain and mentioned i’d like to look into a breast reduction, and she referred me to a local surgeon who could do the procedure. at the time i was still entertaining the idea of double-incision, but as it turned out, this surgeon just didnt do that. but i knew for certain my insurance would cover him, his results were good, and he was local, so i said yes to the T-incisions, which he said would likely get me down from a G to at least a C. it wasnt my ideal scenario admittedly, but frankly the back pain was getting to be too much, and i needed it to be addressed sooner rather than later.

- i had a consultation with the surgeon in early december, and they took pictures and measurements to send to my insurance so they could confirm the tits WERE in fact Too Bomb To Live. Doc said that it varies between insurance companies, but most will have a minimum amount of tissue that needs to be taken off, in grams, from each breast. he was like, “your insurance needs at least 1000g total removed, which’ll leave you on the small side, is that cool?” and i was like “My Man, take AS MUCH as you possibly can, im sick of these” and he was like “cool, makes my job easy then.” 

- it took my insurance like 1.5 to 2 months to get back to me, but late january the surgery place called me and we set a date for february 5th, 2020!!

PRE-OP:

- before i went into surgery, the hospital made me go over my medical history with them over the phone, informed me of all the risks, and gave me a special scrub kit to shower with at home for the last 2 days before the surgery

- fun fact this soap will make your whole bathroom and body smell strongly and exactly like a hospital and it is gross as hell if you hate hospital smell

- i also had to go to my primary care doc to get the OK that i was healthy enough to go under general anesthesia, and also get some blood tests and a urinalysis done. i fucked up the urinalysis tho (which is a whole other story) so i had to redo that the morning of the surgery when i got to the hospital anyway. 

- when i scheduled my surgery they also gave me a list of things i had to NOT DO before i went in. this included stuff like avoiding herbal medications and non-prescription supplements and not drinking any alcohol for like 2 weeks prior to surgery, and not eating anything after midnight the night before surgery.

- then it was SURGERY DAY!!!

- i went in with uhhh a LOT of anxiety about what everything would entail, ngl. i knew i had to do it because staring down the barrel of life with tiddies forever was way scarier than surgery, but yknow whenever you go under general anesthesia they legally do have to let you know that you could die and thats just a lot to consider, PLUS the whole thing involves just, really mangling your torso so like. its a lot! its okay to be scared!

- both my parents went with me for moral support which i appreciated a lot, but i didnt actually see them much since they had to spend a lot of it in the waiting room.

- when i went back with the doc they had me Wash The Tiddy Off with some antiseptic and change into a gown. i got some grippy socks out of the deal which is probably not a universal experience, but this hospital did it so shoutout to them for the socks i guess

- then they asked me all my medical history stuff again and checked me for any like, rashes or open sores or anything. i had some Tit Zits but they did not seem to be worried about that.

- then the surgeon came in and drew lines on me for the incisions. bro when i saw how high up my nips were gonna be i was losing my damn mind. this is one of the really exciting parts, because you finally get to really visualize what your end size is gonna be!! 

- once he was satisfied with how everything looked, they started really Prepping Me For Surgery.

- they hooked me up to a blood pressure cuff, a heart monitor, and some compression leg thingies that would inflate and deflate intermittently around my calves to help me not get blood clots. this felt weird but tbh also like kind of a nice massage

- then the iv placement. bro im not lying when i tell you this is the worst part. the nurse numbed me with some lidocaine before placing the needle and let me tell you that shit HURTED. lidocaine Stings and Burns when it hits and this was arguably the most painful part. but the good news about that is it means nothing else after that is all that bad. and i got THREE lidocaine shots because these two nurses could NOT find my blood anywhere. they finally called in their ringer (an EMT named kirk, s/o to kirk) who got that sucker in my arm with NO numbing and NO pain in like, 2 fucking seconds. i pray you all have a kirk. kirk knows where your fucking blood is and hes not gonna fuck around getting to it because he JUST wrestled a drunk dude into an ambulance like an hour ago and compared to that this is nothing. kirk had sleeveless scrubs. im obsessed. anyway.

- then they put a plastic, inflatable, heated blanket over me? it was between two regular blankets so it wasnt as uncomfortable as you might imagine, but it was strange. warm tho so that was nice.

- THEN they wheeled my bed down to surgery. i was having so much anxiety at this point it was like... dreamlike. getting wheeled into the OR was just surreal. i was like, no thoughts head empty, just taking everything in.

- once i got there the surgical team was very cool about keeping me calm tho. they were playing their like, pump-up music and one of the guys was like “hey fyi about halfway thru the surgery we will be turning the lights off and having a rave, just in the interest of full disclosure. promise not to leave any glowsticks in there tho” and i was like what no i would LOVE glowstick tiddies

- i had to kinda roll from my bed onto the operating table, which was significantly harder and smaller. that kinda made things feel real, so i got a little more anxious at that point.

- to help me calm down they had me breathe in some straightup oxygen thru a mask while they hooked my iv to the fluids and such, and the guy was like “WHOA you got some lungs on you dude” and i was like yeah thanks im recovering from hyperventilating

- then they let the anesthesia into the iv, letting me know the whole time what was happening, talking to me until i was just OUT, which was not a lot of conversation time because i was out in like 5 seconds or less. they didnt make me count down or anything, but i promise you it was nigh instantaneous.

POST OP

- it really was instantaneous. i know everyone says that but it really is the truth, it feels like the whole thing takes seconds. like one moment youre laying there in the OR feeling the drugs Hit, and the next youre waking up in the little wake-up room feelin kinda groggy with a nurse talking to you, and youre still druggy so youre just rambling to her about how fucked your voice sounds right now and as soon as shes contented that youre basically lucid they start wheeling you to your room where youll ACTUALLY stay while you recover.

- THE THING I WAS THE LEAST PREPARED FOR WAS MY THROAT

- your throat will Hurt afterwards, but even more than that, you will be producing So Much Mucus. my surgery took about 2 hours and during that time, all my muscles were paralyzed by the anesthesia, including my lungs, so i was on a breathing tube. my throat, understandably, hated this, and started producing Gallons Of Fucking Mucus to protect itself. it then continued to do this for the next two days or so. the nurses were encouraging me to breathe deep and cough Hard to combat this, and avoid getting pneumonia, so i did. but THAT hurt the tiddies. it was really a vicious cycle. but its necessary because god if i had to have pneumonia on top of all the other recovery shit?? god. 0/10 wouldnt recommend. so it might hurt but dont worry your tiddies wont bust open or anything.

- i spent basically the rest of the day still hooked up to all the machines i listed earlier, PLUS a thing that would beep at me if my heart rate went too high, which it did a lot because i have anxiety, but luckily the nurses didnt seem too concerned. it really kept my breathing on track though because if i didnt breathe deep enough my heart would shoot up super fast and it’d beep and god that was just annoying and im pretty sure that was The Point. you kinda have to get used to breathing again, and the beeping trained me.

- they gave me like a bunch of crackers and a huge mug of water to work on at my leisure. i actually had lunch pretty quick after waking up? i know a lot of people have nausea issues from anesthesia but i didnt experience any of that. i DID move like a fucking sloth while i was eating tho. the pain meds and general grogginess of recovery slowed my whole body down sooooo much. my mom was actually like “are you okay??? like neurologically??????” and i was, totally, i was just. on slo-mo.

- anyway i didnt have to get catheterized for this procedure thankfully but they DID make me measure my pee every time i went to the bathroom. like i had to pee in a little bucket attached to the toilet and the nurse had to come check it every time and i felt really weird about that. so idk just be prepared for that i guess lmao

- also idk if it was the pain meds or the anesthesia itself but post-op, i couldnt shit for like a week. the constipation is real so get u some fucking laxatives asap when you get home, this is not a joke lmao

- they also had me put on a belt every time i got up so the nurse could hold onto me in case i decided to fucking biff it. they got me up a couple times throughout the day/night to walk up and down the hallway outside and get my body used to being upright again

- oh speaking of i never got to lie down completely flat, they had my bed locked at like a 30 degree angle minimum to help with... something. im not quite sure what, but im not gonna question it

- when i got up the next morning they had a couple nurses come in and help me un-bandage so i could shower and finally look at what the tiddies looked like for the first time!! and it was exciting but i didnt cry like i expected lmao i think i was too drained and too distracted by the bleeding

- the bleeding wasnt too bad actually, just little beads kinda coming out of parts of the incisions between the stitches. but once i got in the shower obviously stuff started getting diluted in the water and it looked like a lot more than there actually was, so dont be alarmed by that! 

- SHOWERING: its a little complicated. youre not supposed to soak the incisions, and youre not supposed to apply direct water pressure or actually touch them at this point. so what i had to do was get a washcloth wet and soapy (with antibacterial soap, i think it was hand soap honestly. hand soap’s what ive been using at home so........) and then just kinda. squeeze it at your collarbone and let it drip down over everything kinda minimally. its kind of a process but it works fine. washing your hair and like, tbh literally everything else is gonna be hard. reaching over your head is hard and scary at this point. i will admit my hair care Suffered the first week. 

- then i got bandaged back up and they got me back into my own clothes and ready to go home! they also put a bra on me over the bandages in my new size. i was only there for about 24 hours total, since i didnt really have any complications. 

- on the ride home i had to make sure the cross-chest part of the seat belt was NOT touching me. if whoevers driving you hits a pothole, your soul WILL exit your body tits-first for a moment. im sorry if you live somewhere like here in nebraska where the roads are garbage but its not gonna be fun.

ONCE YOU’RE HOME!!

- i live at home with my mom and sister and if you live alone, id try to have a friend basically move in for the first week. you will need Help with things. basic things. you’ll mostly want to sleep because of the pain meds but those made me pretty dizzy so it was cool having my mom around in case i like. fell on the way to the bathroom and died or anything like that.

- changing bandages is really kind of a 2-person affair too, and youll have to do it at least once a day post-shower, so keep that in mind. 

- the bleeding is like, not that bad after that first day honestly. i never had to change the bandages more than just the once per day. 

- basically from here the procedure is just to take it easy, get up every few hours and walk around a little to keep the blood clots at bay, and enjoy yr new silhouette basically

- worst thing about recovery honestly? im a stomach/side sleeper, and i cant manage anything other than laying flat on my back with my arms at my sides right now, and thats just like.... idk i really cant sleep like that. its not comfy. ive had to set up kind of a pillow fort around me to keep me from rolling over in my sleep bc im afraid i might hurt myself accidentally like that, but idk how well-founded that fear is.

- i will say as someone who did have back problems before this, the difference is IMMEDIATE. i literally had better posture like Day 1. im still a little hunched over because the stitches create a bit of tension in your chest, but like literally it was instantaneous. god. once i got healed to a point that i could like, kinda relax and not be so fucking tense all the time? back pain has basically just been GONE. 

- other fun things to notice: i had some pretty significant stretch marks before, and now they are running in a completely different direction. i crossed my arms over my chest the other day and they actually touched my torso for the first time in like, well over a decade. if i close my eyes and try to grab my tiddy from muscle memory, i stop like a full 3 inches from where my tit actually starts now. the size i am now, just like, freeballing it? this is how i looked when i wore a binder before. if i wore a binder now i imagine id be completely flat, and honestly if i layer up at this point you cant really tell that i have anything more than the average chubby dude’s moobs, which as a kinda chubby person is totally fine. 

its a trip relearning what i look like and what im supposed to feel like but its just. such a fucking improvement over where i was. absolutely no regrets, regardless of how hard recovery has felt at times. anyway i hope this information is at least interesting and maybe helpful to anybody considering anything similar!!

-that doesn’t stop bill and his dad tho, they write her and visit often n sometimes they bring missy

-mama Preston likes missy, at first she didn’t tho bc she was wary about who this new woman raising her son was, but after she met her and they’ve talked a few times she loves her so much

-bills moms family lives in Texas, and bill n his dad go visit for holidays and stuff and see granny Preston (rip)

-the flowers in the backyard around the pool were missy’s idea, she loves gardening, the flowers are her babies!!

-or she’ll be like “Eugene I think you should paint the study blue it’ll help you focus better” or “guys eating more vegetables improves mental clarity !!” (Which is true, but theyre like *smacks teeth**reluctantly eats broccoli*)

-Missy is very much a hopeless romantic, mr. Preston will bring her a cup of coffee and she’ll be like “u got me a coffee 🥺..”

-bills dad played instruments when he was his age and sometimes tries to butt in jam sessions like “now y’see boys this is how we did it back in the day *plays 2 notes* hold on I’m a lil rusty”

-bills dad and capt. Logan dont care too much about being friends with each other, and sometimes disapprove of each others’ parenting (mr Preston thinks capt Logan is too strict, capt Logan thinks mr Preston is too lax), but they see how good friends BnT are so they remain cordial .. if they weren’t friends the dads literally wouldn’t speak to each other

-oh and bills dad also loves golf

-I hc that bill gets his license after graduation (I also hc bnt as seniors in the movie) and was PRESSSEEEDDDD to go somewhere in the car

zero waste chronicles: my menstrual cup

 so for the last couple months, i’ve been tryna transition into a more zero waste lifestyle (separate post to come on that)... rn i wanna talk about my menstrual cup. i’m specifying menstrual cup bc it’s not a diva cup, it’s an off-brand “Viva Cup” that i won in a raffle for an organization i’m apart of. 

backstory: mid-2016 i overhauled most of the products i used for ‘greener’ alternatives- my laundry stuff, my deodorant, body wash, even my period products, i gave away and/or threw all my conventional products away to start fresh. during the time since i had mostly been using Natracare pads/panty liners*, and occasionally Seventh Generation pads/panty liners. i would sometimes look online for greener alternatives but they’re very expensive (and a bitch is BROKE) and i was happy so i wasn’t pressed to make the switch. fast forward to mid-april 2018, my org held a period symposium where we talked about menstruation and how unsustainable a lot of the products marketed to consumers are, and we offered alternatives. in the prep for the symposium i saw thinx (i was previously turned off to thinx when i found out they’re more of a backup method than a primary period catcher), reusable cloth pads, and menstrual cups. during the symposium, we gave away reusable cloth pads and menstrual cups. while i really wanted the pads, i didn’t win them instead i made out with the menstrual cup. i’ve been using it for two months now so here’s my thoughts on it..

thoughts: i was really excited to use it going into my first period. the audience at the symposium had rave reviews and once acquired, it seems like an economically better choice than re-buying pads/tampons/pantyliners every couple months. ngl i had major difficulties using it the first month as i was never much of a tampon person and it’s kinda like a next level tampon, except not and way more difficult. they’re definitely not for people who are 1) grossed out by blood 2) not ready to get VERY intimate with themselves (while bleeding)

empyting the cup is another thing as well... it’s not gonna look how you’d expect. i found out menstrual blood is not just blood! it’s also cervical mucus, vaginal secretions, nutrients like calcium/phosphate/iron/ and endometrial tissue- bottom line it’s thick and goopy. just dump it in the toilet, rinse your cup out (i advice with warm water bc it helps with reinsertion), & pop it back in. make sure to clean and boil ur cup at the end of ur cycle! 

i struggled a lot with properly inserting it at first. you have to fold it to get it in but then let it pop open so the suction will actually catch blood. if it’s not properly inserted, it will leak. i leaked all thru my first month. i got so frustrated, i gave up on using it and didn’t think it was for me. i was even more frustrated bc a friend of mine who started using hers around the same time got it immediately and i just felt like a failure bc sustainability is my thing y’know (it’s literally my job). but i decided to try it again this month and thankfully, i’m now over the learning curve. i friggin love this cup! i only change it once or twice a day and even then it’s not even halfway full. now that i know how to put it on, i don’t worry about leaks. there’s no odor or wet feeling throughout the day! i’m recommending it to everyone who menstruates!

things to know: 

don’t mess with it too much, it really only needs to be changed a couple times a day. any more than that is just going to irritate ur vagina (trust me)

i definitely recommend shopping around and reading reviews before purchasing a menstrual cup. namebrand ones like Diva Cup and Lunette are $30+ whereas the Viva Cup is only $7. 

some try to discourage others from using the knock offs but as long as it says medical grade silicone you should be fine

menstrual cups come in two (2) sizes: small and large- small is for people with moderate flows and/or who have not given birth and large is for people with super heavy flows and/or who have given birth. so make sure you’re getting the right size!

there’s multiple different folds for getting it up ur vagina, make sure to find the one that works for you!

for me what helps is inserting the cup halfway, letting it pop open and then inserting it some more

if the stem is uncomfortable, you can cut it.. i recommend cutting little by little until it’s comfy for ur body

i’m more than happy to share links on where to buy and feel free to message me with any questions you may have

*Natracare pads are like bleeding on a cloud but they don’t have wings 9/10 would recommend. their pantyliners suck tho, seventh gen panty liners are much better
