Humans Are Extinct (Yandere!TWST x Fem!Reader) Monster AU pt 27

(Neige is a Mourning Dove Harpy, and often sings with other Mourning Doves in the early mornings, calling with them and cooing as he flies around Sage Island. Neige is a stress plucker, so he will occasionally have bald-spots on his neck where he had picked and plucked his own feathers. He usually tosses his feathers after molts, but has since been collecting and saving his feathers so he can use them to make something for the Human with them)

Things had settled down considerably when Malleus and the other students- those that came with Crowley and Diasomnia- left. The tension that had been in the air lulled and quickly faded away along with the icy cold. Thankfully, you had managed to keep Malleus calm and bring him back to reason without incident and you knew Crowley and the other professors were glad too.

You sighed, sitting back on one of the many couches with Grim as Divus was quite content to join you, looking as worn and stressed as you felt. Even Trein seemed to be counting himself lucky that Malleus was convinced to leave without incident. It vaguely interested you to see the professors in such a domestic setting as the all seemed much more approachable now that they were the ones guarding you. Part of you felt relieved to get a break from the intensity of the other students.

"Tea?"

You looked up somewhat startled to a cup of tea being held out to you. Out of politeness, you accepted the cup while Trein joined you on your other side, lounging on the long couch with a sigh.

"I had a few questions for you, if I may?"

"Of course Professor."

"Please, Trein or Mozus would suffice, (Y/n). No need for formalities in your own home."

"Force of habit, Sir."

"How often is your cycle? It would behoove us to plan in advance so your schedule can be addressed and so we are made aware ahead of time."

You sipped the tea to give yourself a moment to collect your thoughts, figuring one of the professors would ask eventually. At least they seemed far less influenced by your scent and by your ovulation, so they seemed safe enough to let your guard down around them. The tea was a nice herbal blend that was gentle and soothing in your throat.

"Monthly. The bleeding period marks an end of the cycle to begin anew. Ovulation is at the height of the cycle, meaning more fertile, not more interested in finding a mate."

"Mating isn't required for ovulation?"

"No. But there is a set timer on my fertility as a result. Every month marks another sex cell- we call these cells eggs- lost and most Humans have a set number of eggs. I still have years left on my timer, but it does continue to march on. When I am out of eggs, the cycle stops and I am considered to no longer be fertile."

"How long does the actual ovulation period last?"

"The height of it is only 12-24 hours. But the hormonal imbalance leading up to and after take a few days."

Trein nodded, sipping his own tea as he hummed watching the drink pensively. You watched Crowley walk over to the angled couch next to the one you were on, curling his legs under him like a great big bird perching. His talons ended in wickedly sharp points, and you vaguely realized he must have removed his shoes before settling. Divus spoke up next, his voice a relaxed drawl.

"So for at least a day everyone on campus will be attempting to burst the doors down. Lucky for us today and tomorrow are free of classes. I trust you've been keeping up with your homework?"

"As best I can. It has been a hectic first month. Goodness knows I've been attacked so many times it feels like years have passed."

Divus frowned at this, watching you for a long moment before he spun his red riding crop between his gloved fingers. A sudden glow came from the gem on it and you found your clothes had changed to comfortable lounge-wear in reds, blacks, and whites. While you examined your new clothes a sudden weight fell on your shoulders and you realized he had placed his fur over you. This must have been an act of extreme trust or protectiveness as even Crowley looked surprised with Divus' behavior.

The lovely professor patted the top of your head gently as he settled back down, almost insisting you stay put where you had settled. Trein seemed to be of a mind with Divus as the couch changed shape to a much more comfortable and plush piece of furniture, the large screen on the far wall adjacent flicked to life. As you got comfortable in the large and warm fur coat, you heard footsteps and turned to see Coach Vargas and Sam approaching with their arms full of snacks.

Grim purred excitedly and snuggled into your lap as a movies began to play, the professors all settling down around you.

~•§•~

"Can you believe this, Rook? Telling us- her sworn guards- that we can't be present to protect her during such a delicate time!"

The Harpy was ranting angrily to the Drider that accompanied him, Epel keeping pace next to the large Drider as they followed the Peacock. Naturally, Vil was furious he wasn't allowed to even accompany the others in confronting Malleus. He deserved the right to be there after saving those Royal Sword Academy fools that had let themselves be stabbed in the back by that prince. Instead, Azul and his two goons were selected to go.

He was so angry he could scream!

"I don't believe we have actually sworn to anything, Roi du Poison, merely agreed to accept duties should they fall upon us. Non, it would not be fair to claim we are sworn knights, but perhaps Mademoiselle Trickster would look upon us favorably if we did swear ourselves to her protection."

"We will have to do that when the duty to guard her falls upon Pomefiore. Which means you at least have a few days to shape up, Epel!"

The plant Nymph jumped at suddenly being called out, nodding quickly to the temperamental Harpy ahead of him. Epel had been busy thinking about the Human in question, remembering how soft her hands were holding his and the way she stood up for him so passionately. He wanted to protect her from everyone else and prove he can take on the protector role for her, so her soft hands never have to harden with work.

"O-of course, Housewarden Vil!"

"Don't think I've forgotten how you kept slipping back into your accent during the photoshoot despite my warnings."

"Right... Sorry, Housewarden Vil, I will work harder."

"As you should. We all need to be at peak when we finally have the right to guard her."

Rook and Epel both nodded, quickly agreeing with the proud Harpy.

"Yes, Vil!"

~•§•~

"To think, no one was selected this week! I thought we already prooved we were trustworthy to guard that Mousey!"

Leona snarled and paced atop his sun-warmed rocks where he usually lounged in Savanaclaw, clearly in a bad mood. He was growling and his tail lashed behind him as he walked, not only angry at being cheated out of a day so that ridiculous Malleus could stop his bitch-fit, but furious he was not trusted at this crucial time. Nevermind the fact that the same dorm is not likely to be selected twice in a row, Leona was angry and felt cheated.

"I'm just sayin', Leona, maybe it's a good thing she's stuck with the teachers."

"And how," Leona roared, "is this possibly a good thing!?"

"Because no one else can get to her either, right?"

"..."

"If they're keeping us away, they're keeping everyone away."

"Ruggie, for once you actually seem to have a brain rattling around in that skull of yours."

The Gnoll huffed at the obvious insult, planning to steal all of the cash Leona had in his wallet as revenge. Jack was sitting nearby, unsure what was his rank now that Savanaclaw was no longer guarding the precious Human. It seemed like Leona wasn't keen to run him off, in any case.

"Isn't this a good thing for her too? I mean, yesterday was rough on her with the Overblot and the attack. I think she deserves some time away from it all."

"Oh? And you think the professors aren't just going to stress her out more?"

"No," Jack shook his head, his fur bouncing with his movements, "you saw how mad professor Divus got when you made her skip his class. And Trein is always praising her any time she answers a question in class. I think the professors all see her as their pup and are going to act like she is their pup. Even Headmage Crowley calls her his little chick."

"Annoying as you are, you have a point, Puppers. Nothing to do about it now."

Leona sighed and flopped down almost dramatically on the warm rocks, the tension in the dorm falling as the Lion returned to lounging. Of course, everyone was still keen to know who was declared winner after the interruption during the Spelldrive. Most of the Pride figured they would win, not even aware Malleus had been holding back during their game.

~•§•~

"Do you think we should tell Papa Hades?"

"Tell him what?"

"That she is in the middle of her cycle!"

"I mean, maybe, but Headmage Crowley said he has it under control."

"Come on, Idi-nii!"

Ortho whined loudly, making Idia look over at him from the game he had been playing with his online buddies, trying to set up a game with the more absent than usual MuscleRed. Idia figured everyone was just gonna let the professors handle it, no need for him to step in. Even if there was a problem- which there wasn't- he still had cameras all over that building and would be the first to know of any issues.

"What??"

"Aren't you the least bit worried about her?"

"She has the entire staff of NRC as her DPS, Tanks, and Healers, what would I be worried for?"

Ortho sighed, seeming to visibly deflate as his breath fogged up his mask. Idia was right, of course, but Ortho was still worried. He liked playing games with (Y/n) as well as talking with her about everything he could think of. It was only natural the young Shinigami was worried.

"Look, Ortho, we can video call her later if she feels up for it, okay?"

"Okay..."

~•§•~

"To think, those-! Those-! Those hooligans know (Y/n) is in the middle of her cycle and completely exposed to their vile thoughts!"

"Riddle," Trey tried to soothe the upset Unicorn who was prancing and pacing and tossing his head back and forth angrily, "I'm sure the professors have it well in hand."

"Do they, Trey? Do they? Absolute hogwash!"

"You saw Malleus return to Diasomnia, and there was no black sky or rolling storm so he left peacefully. Everyone else who could pose an issue couldn't possibly stand against all of the staff together."

Riddle stopped his trotting and pawed at the ground in frustration, ripping up a bit of the grass sod under his hooves. Even his tail was curling and flicking as he took back up his worried trotting pace. Riddle was working himself into a meltdown and even Trey wasn't doing much to help soothe the distressed Unicorn, though not for a lack of trying.

"-and if someone gets by them, what then? No matter what happens someone-"

Riddle was babbling at this point, occasionally kicking one leg back as he walked and stomped angrily. He was obviously no longer listening to any of the four who stood trying to calm him, muttering axiously and snorting every few steps. No matter what Trey said there was clearly no snapping Riddle out of his current mindset.

Cater had retired to lay along Trey's back, lazily looking at his phone as he checked the ever increasing follower count on (Y/n)'s magicam account. Cater was glad that the staff thought of adding himself, Vil, and Rook as page admins so the soft Human would be kept away from the thirsty messages sent by countless monster accounts. At least he could delete these messages and send the tame ones through for her to read.

"THE TREES!"

"The... Trees?"

"Yes, the trees outside of Ramshackle! How did I miss it? They're easily a way someone could get in and hurt dear (Y/n)! We must warn the Headmage at once!"

Riddle reared up, whinnying loudly as he took off towards the mirror, Trey tiredly following after with Cater tagging along on the ride. This left Ace and Deuce looking at one another before shrugging. They wanted to see (Y/n), sure, but they also knew better than to bother the teachers or her many guards. Maybe they would text and check in on her.

~•§•~

Azul sighed as he and the twins returned to the Monstro Lounge, feeling surprisingly worn even though they weren't the ones facing off with the Dragon. Even being around with that tantalizing scent in the air was all too tempting an offer to their senses despite the beast that stood guarding the soft Human. All three had a taste of those pheremones and felt their own bodies cry out in response, longing for a taste or just to submerge themselves in the alluring scent that taunted them.

"Ne, Azul, d'ya think we're gonna get to guard Shrimpy soon?"

"I certainly don't see why not. Erikír's betrayal and Overblot certainly put us in good standing with her given we were who she sought out in times of strife. Leona was allowed to guard her after he proved himself, I don't see why the same won't be true for us."

"She sure smelled good though. Just wanna take a big bite and squeeze till she pops!"

Azul frowned at the swaying Eel that giggled to himself, biting playfully at the empty air in front of him. He had been in a considerably good mood following the brief encounter with (Y/n) and had not stopped talking about her. Similarly, Jade seemed to be lost in his own world, standing off to the side with his mouth open and his eyes closed.

Azul could tell immediately that both twins were affected by (Y/n)'s alluring scent and longed to return to the soft Human for another dose of that scent. Not like Azul was any better. He could feel the way he longed to reach out and grab her, holding her close to his chest while he nuzzled her neck. The things he would do if he were only allowed.

~•§•~

"Hey, Jamil, what d'you think made the wish work when (Y/n) made it?"

"Hm?"

"The wish. What do you think made it work?"

"I don't know, but don't you dare make another one or you might just wind up killing her on accident."

"But what if it means something?"

Jamil sighed as he tidied up his nest of pillows, Kalim's beautiful golden lamp shining in the center. The Genie was lounging next to his lamp, toying with the gem-topped lid and smiling absently. It had been on his mind ever since it happened last week and he wondered if it had something to do with the Human.

"I doubt it means anything. You can't grant another wish for her, that's final."

"But why? I'm sure it will be fine-!"

"Kalim! You kill anyone who makes a wish. Anyone. No matter how well intentioned you are, you kill them. Consider yourself lucky it didn't kill her. Not even being a member of the Al-Asim family would be able to save you from Malleus if you killed her. You are so lucky it didn't turn out differently. Don't tempt fate."

~•§•~

"Malleus?"

Lilia asked gently, approaching the sullen prince who sat looking out over the Diasomnia domain. Though he had agreed to leave at the behest of (Y/n), he still wanted to fly straight back and make that soft Human he adored accept him as her mate. His instincts roared and rattled in its gilded jail to be set free so that he may take what is rightfully his.

Malleus didn't even hear the other Fae approaching as he glowered and stared outwards. He wanted his mate and he didn't want to have to keep his distance, but those words kept repeating in his head and tormenting his every moment. The Dragon didn't know his beloved (Y/n) could ever look so angry like she did in that moment.

'I don't think I want to be part of your Hoard.'

Ice slowly crept up under him as those words repeated in his head and he clutched his chest in pain. Lilia took notice as well and quickly stepped in to soothe the Dragon. Though he wished she had done it differently and without threat, Lilia had to admit that (Y/n) handled Malleus expertly and he had no doubt she would fare just as well as his bonded mate.

"Malleus, I'm going to guess you keep hearing her threatening to leave the Hoard? She told you she wanted to stay so long as you could respect her space during her cycle. She still wants to be in the Hoard, she's just under a lot of stress right now."

"... It hurts, Lilia. I didn't think it would hurt so much."

"Love can hurt. Especially when you already love someone so much you just want to hold them close, but they aren't to that point yet. (Y/n) Isn't to that point yet, but she will be."

"What if she denies me? If she turns me away when I finally bare my heart to her?"

"She won't."

Malleus slumped into his arms, hiding his face as he fell to his knees at the window, his heart seizing in pain at the thought of what could happen. He didn't want to face the loneliness of his existence for much longer. It was a painfully lonely existence, the life of a Dragon, but now there was a light in his darkness, stars in his inky sky, the moon shining upon his face in the endless night.

The stars never seemed quite as bright without his darling love close by. The air was never as sweet. The whining of the wind was not as musical. Even his own nest felt so very empty and lonesome.

Lilia rest a hand on the Dragon's shoulder, laying one wing across his back to soothe him. It wasn't the embrace Malleus was craving, but he still took comfort from his friend, Hoard member, and caretaker. All the Bat could really do was be there for the Dragon while they waited.

~•§•~

You were cozy and extremely comfortable in what was now a cocoon comprised of Divus' fur, blankets, snuggly stuffed animals Trein insisted you take, and one happy boy Grim.

Sam was busy making a delicious smelling gumbo in the kitchen while you hummed along happily to the jaunty tune of the movie you were watching. It was catchy and bouncy in all the right ways that had you practically wiggling in your cocoon like a happy silk moth larva. The five men had been quite happy to show you all of their favorite timeless classics and you had to admit the beasts certainly knew how to swing.

For what felt like the first time in a very long time, you were able to just exist and enjoy what you were doing. There was no worry of gently navigating around the beasts feelings or the constant arms race they all seemed to be in for your affections. You could just vibe and snack to your heart's content, feeling so very protected in the large cuddle fortress you had made out of the couch.

Trein had even brought over Lucius who cuddled up to Grim and wrestled with the energetic kit. Even as the two napped in the growing pile of cuddle, Divus was the one to remind you to drink and move around every once in a while. Crowley had been trying to get Trein or Divus to give up their spot to no avail and pouted next to Vargas on the other couch.

If you could get more time like this, maybe things wouldn't be too bad after all.

Hey, single dad to a tweenage girl here. She's reached the age where she's likely to start menstruating soon. We've had some good discussions about what to do and the various products available. But: something I keep seeing/reading is about "not being old enough to use tampons". What does that actually mean? Is it a real thing? When is "old enough"? She asked me, I didn't know and couldn't find out, so I'm asking you. (Also: where does the time go??? I swear she was taking her first steps only last year or something...)

hi anon,

thanks for asking about this! I've heard from a good number of parents here but I'm not sure if I've ever heard from a dad before, or at least not any parents who identified themselves as such. what a neat first!

I'm also seconding the flying of time; my nephew isn't quite a year old yet but every time I see him I'm shaken by how much he's changed even in a week or two since our last visit. he'll be crawling soon and I'm not ready.

now, here's the thing about tampons: if your kiddo is old enough to want to use them and confidently insert and remove by herself, then she's old enough to use them.

most of the objections to younger children using tampons stems from concerns about preserving the hymen or even outright claiming that tampons can "take" someone's virginity, both of which are bullshit. treating tampons as if they're somehow sexual is, to put it lightly, absurd, and most people who have used them would attest there's very little similarity between using a tampon and having any kind of sex.

the only other reason I can think of as a potential cause for concern would be making sure your kiddo is old enough to remember that she's wearing a tampon and needs to switch them every 8 hours. you know your kid better than me (and would likely be the one to remind her, if she needs it) so I'll leave that up to the two of you to decide together.

understandably the idea of putting something in their vagina can be scary and uncomfortable for a lot of new period-havers, in which case the issue is not your daughter's age but her personal comfort and preferences. she may want to start with pads and graduate to tampons (or other inserted collection methods, like menstrual cups) later, or maybe she'll always prefer external methods like pads or period underwear. either way, it's a matter of her personal preference.

Boyfriend

A/N: as requested by @yukizaldi. Sorry it’s kind of shit. I haven’t written in a bit and I feel like I’ve forgotten how words work. warnings: smut. **** It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that every committed boyfriend, must, sooner or later, have the period routine down. And Matty fancied himself an expert. As much of an expert as a heterosexual man who has never had a period can be, anyway. He took pride in his system. He kept track. He remembered the flowers and the chocolate. He refilled hot water bottles without being asked, kept the pain killers on hand, happily drove to the drugstore, or ice cream shop, to get tampons and sugary desserts. His strategy was always to get ahead of things before they could happen. Have everything she could possibly need within her reach, so she’d never feel the need to even ask. All that left is the cuddles and Lowe stomach rubs. That part wasn’t restricted to bad period days, though. Matty always eagerly  provided that. 

But, one thing he learned the hard way was that, even for a biological reoccurrence that took place every month for decades of a woman’s life, a  menstrual cycle can, not only be unpredictable, but make her unpredictable, too. 

“Take off your pants.” She panted, into his mouth, kissing him, and biting his lip. 

He mewled, softly, his hands fumbling with the buttons of his jeans. He didn’t get very far before  his hands were crushed by the weight of her hips rolled against his, pushing him against the wall. 

“B-baby….s-slow down.” 

“Shush, Matty. Please. No talking. Just fucking. Okay? I- I’ve been waiting for you all day.”

And how could he not be flattered that his girlfriend wants to jump his bones the very second that he walks through the door?

She got down on her knees, her hands pushing his out of the way and pulling down his waist hugging pants. 

She rubbed his clothed, half hardened cock, listening for his hissing and reveling in the slight bucking of his hips. She felt her mouth watering at the prospect of having him between her lips. 

“Gonna take you out now…”

Matty nodded, eager, cursing, hotly, under his breath. “Christ.”

Slowly, her hand wrapped around him, working him with deft flicks of her wrist, until he was stiff, ready to burst against his own stomach. 

She took him in her mouth, her tongue rubbing the underside of his tip while her hand tugged lightly on his balls. 

“FUCK!” Matty’s legs shook; his palm slammed against the wall in an attempt to steady himself, his hips reflexively. Thrusting into her mouth. “Sh-shit. Sorry…”

She didn’t seem to mind, though, her lips smiles around his cock. The sight so sinful it almost undid him right then and there. Encouraged by his moans, she moved faster, sucking him harder, to the rhythm of his flustered cries and the contracting and relaxing of the muscles in his stomach. 

“No, no, no- stop, stop.” Matty begged, frantic. “If- if you don’t stop, I’m- not gonna make it to the bedroom.” His face turned red. 

***

Matty winced, feeling her grind into his lap. Their lips crashed together, needily, as his hands felt around for the hem of her top. She let him remove her t shirt; his arm snaked around her back to unclasp her bra. The discomfort she felt when the underwire slid from underneath her breasts  sounded a warning in the back of her mind; but she promptly dismissed it, her desire for him outweighing any and all other feelings. 

Matty’s hand cupped her breast, his thumb swiping over her nipple. She jolted, her body tensing up, and not in good way. Waiting for the worst of the pain to pass, she leaned into him again, her lips finding his neck. 

Matty’s hands roamed her body, cradling her back at first, then resting at her neck, before sliding, slowly, down her sides, his fingers tracing her skin. He squeezed her hips, his body instinctively rolling into hers. She felt a wave of cramps hit her, interrupting the needy pleasure of being entangled with him and yanking her out of the moment. She moaned, in a way that sounded closer to pain than pleasure, giving Matty a brief moment of pause. His eyes reluctantly pulled open, watching her searchingly. When she showed no signs of slowly down, he dismissed his doubts, giving himself back to her, his hands reaching for her again, cupping her breasts, squeezing them slightly. his thumb pinch her right nipple. 

She winced loudly. “Ow no- ouch!”

“Sorry- fuck- was that not…”

“No, no. It’s fine.”  She looked down at her breasts. 

“Okay, I’m no mind reader but it was decidedly not fine. It did not sound like the ‘ouch’ of a fine person. Sounded like the ‘ouch’ of someone in pain.”

Her hands cupped his face, attempting to pull him in seductively. Another wave of cramps hit her, and despite her best attempt to stay calm, he could see it in the way that she squeezed her eyes. 

“Baby, no- hang on a minute- no.” As much as he loved being kissed by her, he wouldn’t budge. 

She groaned. Mumbling something under her breath and laying her head on him. 

unexpectedly, he felt a strange dampness against his chest. His brows furrowed, looking down, “babe?”

The sob she’d been holding escaped her lips. She burst into tears. 

“Oh my- fuck! What’s happened? Are you alright?” Matty panicked, his hand tilting her face up to meet her eyes. “What is it? What’s going on?”

“No-nothing.” She sniffled, rolling her eyes. Both at his concern, and her own dramatic tears. “I’m just- I ….want…” she wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand. “I’m so fuckin horny. I want to cum so bad.”

“So- you’re crying?”

“No, genius!” She hit his forehead against his chest as if against a walll. “I wanna fuck you so bad but also- I feel so - my tits are so sore. And….I feel so gross and bloated. I’m tired. My legs- feel like I’ve run a marathon. And then a 10K. And then walked up a mountain. But I’m just….so- “

“Horny?”

“So. Fuckin. Horny.” She whined. 

As if her words had flipped a switch within him, Matty’s entire demeanor shifted, wasting no time in providing her with comfort. His hands rubbed her lower stomach as she rambled on about the various, sometimes conflicting, symptoms of periods, expressing in graphic detail all the things that she wished she could do to him if it weren’t for the alarm levels of exhaustion that she’d been plagued with. Matty did his best to be a listener. But he was never good at hiding his amusement, letting his giggling get away from him occasionally. 

“I’m sorry, darling.” He whispered in her ear. “Wish you’d said something sooner.” 

“I don’t- I don’t want the cutesy stuff.” She stated defensively. 

“What?”

“I- know what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna try to make me feel better and feed me chocolate and watch a romcom and get me a hot water bottle….i don’t want that.”

Matty frown. “Hey! I thought you liked when I did that!”

“I did- I do….sometimes. Just- not right now.”

“Right.” He nodded. “Well, what- what do you need right now?”

“Need to cum.”

“I can-“

“But I don’t feel sexy.”

Matty scratched his head. “May I ask….what- how do you feel?”

“Sweaty and huge and like my feelings are half my body weight and also hungry.”

He giggled, taking her in his arms and kissing her. “Very well. I can work with that. I think.”

****

Matty emerged out of their master bathroom, smelling, nauseatingly of a strong mix of essential oils, like the local Lush store had exploded on him. 

“Warm bubble bath should be ready any minute, m’lady.”

She rolled her eyes, hiding her blushing face. “M’lady? Really?”

“Can I get you anything to drink? Something to take into the bath with you perhaps?”

She shook her head. 

“Very well then.” He glanced at his wristwatch. “That give us about…well, I’ll have to do my best work, but I’m up for a challenge.” He grinned at her suggestively. 

“What-“ before the realization dawned on her, he’d picked her up in his arms, tossing her playful back onto the bed. “We’re gonna need a towel for this. Spread your legs for me.”

I just had a great idea! I want to know how South, Mikey, Hanma, Rindou, Takeomi and Ran would react if their partner asks them to help them remove the menstrual cup since it got stuck! 😅❤️

OH BOI

Stuck Cups: South Terano/ Manjiro Sano/Shuji Hanma/Rindou Haitani/Takeomi Akashi/Ran Haitani x Fem!Reader

wc: 927

tw: blood!

masterlist

South would be the type to be confused. Very confused.

"Why is there a cup inside of you?"

"Because... my period?" South stands in front of you, angling his head to the side. "Can you just help me get it out?"

"You stuck a whole cup inside of you... to catch your period blood."

"A menstrual cup!" you shout, irritated. "Just help me! Stick your pointer finger and your thumb up there to pull it out."

"I don't know how you..." South grunts, getting on his knees and putting his fingers together. "Why would you even stick a shot glass up in your vagina?"

"So you can say vagina, and you know what that word means, but you don't know what 'menstrual' means." South unceremoniously puts his fingers inside of you, and when he feels the stuck cup, he frowns.

"What do I do now?"

"Fucking pinch it closed and pull it out." South does as you ask, and when he sees his blood-covered fingers, he grimaces.

"Don't put that back up there. That's gross."

"Fuck you." You take the cup from his hands and go to the sink, washing the cup out as South thinks long and hard about what he's just discovered.

Mikey is the type to not help. At all.

"My menstrual cup is stuck!"

"Oh," Mikey mutters, flipping the pages of the magazine in his lap as he sits on the couch. "Sorry to hear that."

"It's stuck in my vagina," you add, leaning over and trying to pluck it out.

"Just wait for it to fall out. Or just wait until you pee. It'll come out then, yeah?"

You stand in the bathroom, squinting your eyes and thinking of ways to murder your boyfriend after you get the cup out.

Shuji isn't helpful, either. But at least he'll try.

"Could get some pliers," he calls out, looking under the kitchen sink. "Might work."

"Fuck," you shout, grumbling to yourself about how useless your boyfriend is, even though he claims to be trying.

"Maybe you could just--" Shuji appears in the doorway, grinning with a monkey wrench in hand.

"You're fucking insane," you gripe, but Shuji just advances on you with a strange look in his eye. "No! Get that thing away from me!"

"You want the cup out or not?"

"Fingers only!" You push at him, but Shuji just laughs, pulling you closer.

"Come on, babe; necessity is the mother of invention!"

"I cannot believe you just quoted Plato."

"Did I?" Shuji pauses, thinking. "I read it one of Kisaki's books."

"You can read?" Shuji chuckles, holding up the wrench again.

"Yeah, and I can get a cup out of your butt!"

Rindou is very useful. He knows a thing or two. Sort of.

"Okay, I got my gloves on." Rindou kneels and turns the flashlight upward, aiming at your--

"A flashlight?"

"I need to see," Rindou mutters, inhaling deeply. "Alright. I'm going in."

"You sound like you're about to discover Atlantis." Rindou is silent, holding your walls apart with his fingers. "Well?"

"Yeah, it's stuck. This might be one for the professionals."

"Babe," you whine. "Just get it out of me, please!"

Rindou shakes his head grimly. "Baby, it's really stuck." Teas come to your eyes, and you lean back in the seat.

"I don't want to go to the hospital for this! It'll be so embarrassing!"

"I'm sure they've seen it plenty of times," Rindou reassures you softly, still looking inside of you. Your hands fly to your face as you moan, feeling the heat work up your body at the thought of someone other than Rindou or your gynecologist seeing inside of your vagina.

"Hey, don't cry..."

"Easy for you to say," you sniff, wiping at your eyes. "You're not the one with a menstrual cup stuck inside of you."

"Well, neither are you." You pull your hands away and glare at Rindou, who's holding your menstrual cup between his fingers.

"How did you--"

"Came right out," he chuckles. "You didn't feel it?"

"No," you snap, frowning deeply. "Why didn't you say something?"

"Just like seeing you get all worked up," Rindou admits, smirking. You reach out to smack him, but he deftly dodges your rebuke.

"That's not funny!"

Takeomi has a ton of experience with this. He's the hero of the bunch.

"Yeah, it's pretty stuck," Takeomi mumbles, pulling his fingers free. "I'm gonna go back in one more time." He does just as he says and looks off into the distance, fishing around with his fingers as he looks for the rim of the cup.

"Got it."

Takeomi pushes the cup down and out while you grimace, your toes curling painfully. "Ow, ow, ow..."

"Just relax," your husband coos, shaking his head. "Almost out." It finally pops free into the toilet bowl, and Takeomi reaches in and plucks it out.

"Hm." He inspects the cup curiously, then chucks it into the trashcan. "Gotta get you a better size." He proceeds to wash his hands thoroughly, then takes a towel and runs it under warm water.

"Hurt pretty bad, huh?" Takeomi wonders, wiping you clean of any traces of blood.

"Yeah..." you whimper, and his green eyes soften.

"Come on. I'll get you a heating pad and something to drink before I go out and get you a new one."

"How do you know my size?" Takeomi helps you up and throws you a cheeky grin.

"I can just buy all the sizes and see if my dick fits."

Ran is asleep.

That's it. That's the post.

lemme be feral and imagine vampire!eddie replacing your menstrual cup...

(obvs cw for NSFW, oral sex (afab receiving), blood kink, blood drinking, eddie loooves ur period (lil freak <3) ) porn no plot

you've been with eddie, your vampire boyfriend, for about a year. he was very patient with you, never pressuring himself on to you or making you try something you didn't want to do. he had all the time in the world.

so as you got further into your relationship and explored each other's bodies and minds, you grew more and more trusting of each other. you allowed eddie to show you things and do things to you you never could've imagined. your soul is bound to him, and he lives to show you all the pleasures the universe and him have to offer.

this means he isn't scared to get dirty. he likes it, actually. he loves sex that ends up with the both of you covered in spit and sweat and cum, and whatever other fluids he likes to play in, it warms his heart.

since the moment he met you, he craved just a taste of your blood, even just a little droplet. it's his instinct, cut the guy a little slack. anyway, he knows menstrual blood isn't quite the same as the delicious fluid flowing in your neck, but the thought still hardens his cock.

the thought of you allowing him to taste such a taboo and shameful part of you -- it drives him insane. to see you sat upon his face, his eyes gazing at you full of lust and love, he would die a happy vampire if you cut off his airways with your bloody cunt and scent and suffocated him. of course, if he could die, that is.

and so, here you are, standing next to the bed where eddie awaits giddily. he looks at you with hungry, lustful eyes while beckoning you to climb on top of him. you swallow, nervous about if eddie will change his mind.

but the way he grins from ear to ear once your pussy spreads open above his face gives you reassurance. eddie had offered to remove your tampon for you, but you wanted to do it yourself. it wasn't that you didn't trust him, but you used the time to psych yourself up. you did want to do this, but after living in a society where men, and even some women too, can openly express their disgust towards periods and everything that comes with it, of course you'rea little hesitant.

but your eddie was different -- very different -- to other men. he wasn't grossed out easily, especially when it came to you. and he loooved intimacy, the private moments the two of you shared that only you both knew about. and he loved blood so he's not gonna reject it because it happens to come out of your pussy -- if anything, that makes it even better!

and now, this same man is licking his lips seductively, big brown eyes shining up into your nervous but excited ones.

"you always take my metaphorical breath away when you're above me," he kisses the insides of your thighs. "like a sacred figure for me to worship. you belong right here, on top of me. i am your throne, amor."

if there's anything eddie knows how to do, it's how to make you crumble with just his words.

"thank you," he kisses your mound, his chin brushing against your clit. "for giving me this bountiful feast, of which i am going to destroy."

he smirks up at you, his fangs shining in the moonlight. you shiver as you slowly lower your body down. eddie holds your eye contact as he takes the first lick; a long, overdramatic flick of his pointed tongue. you shiver again, and he smirks, licking you again.

you feel some liquid drip out of you, and for a moment, you believe it's slick that's built up due to your boyfriend's teasing. but, the way eddie takes in a deep whiff from your cunt and exclaims an airy, "aahhhh!!!!", tells you right away it was blood.

"and the feast begins," eddie coos. he licks each fang before diving into your bloody cunt. he starts off licking broad strokes along your entire vulva, but soon focuses on your clit, wrapping his lips around and sucking. occasionally, he'll use his pointed tongue to circle around the little pearl of your clit making you involuntary squeal, jump, and pull his hair harshly.

he carries on, letting you tug, knowing even if you ripped his hair out, he wouldn't even flinch. you could smack his face (which he encourages😃), and he'll whip his head right back into place and let you do it again with a big, fat grin on his face. why? because he is so. fucking. pussy. whipped.

also because he's a strong ass masochistic vampire.

so yeah, go ahead, buck your hips, fuck his face, trap him and squeeze him between your legs, he'll be begging for more. and especially now -- as you're grinding your clit against his beautiful nose while he fucks your messy hole with his tongue, he's cool with being tugged around and dirtied. speaking of --

the mixture of blood and slick begins to slide down the sides of his mouth, down his face, but he doesn't stop. the mixture starts to run down his chin and up his nose, but he doesn't stop. instead, he snorts up the little droplets of your juices while sucking directly from your hole, literally drinking from the source as though you're a juice box.

you whine and tremble, both utterly aroused and weirded out. at one point, you feel a blood clot drip out, and eddie doesn't even flinch, instead continuing to drink. you gasp and try to wiggle away, wanting ask if he was okay but instead eddie spanks you and says, "it doesn't seem like you're finished yet and i know i'm not, unless i am mistaken?"

"no, you just swallowed a blood clot -"

"sorry to break it to you, sweet cheeks, but your little clot is not the first i've ever swallowed," eddie says in his typical cocky tone before flashing fangs at you again. a visual for you to remember your boyfriend is a literal vampire.

your eyes widen a bit when you catch that glimpse of the bottom half of eddie's face. he looked like he either just finished a pie eating contest or eating someone... both not too far off. but genuinely, it looked like he had been beaten up. but eddie specifically asked for your heaviest day so he could get messier, so you guess it was safe to say he got what he wanted.

"now, would you like me to continue?" his tongue runs back and forth along the bottom row of his teeth while his eyes look dead set on yours, making you feel small despite you being the one on top. but that's just him -- it's in his nature to make you feel prey, and you enjoy being his little prey he gets to hunt over and over again. it always ends in him allowing you to overpower and tame him, letting him love, protect, and pleasure you. all he desires is your desires.

you nod, "please, darling. need it so bad. need you so bad."

"always," eddie sets a soft kiss against your inner thigh.

"always," you repeat.

eddie grabs your ass and uses it to position you over him the way he wants. he loops his hands over your thighs and continues to lap at your drenched cunt. you claw at the wall as he sticks his tongue inside you, pushing his face so deep into your crotch trying to get his tongue to go as far as his cock can. your eyes roll back as your lids flutter, a groan ripping from your throat.

eddie spanks your ass twice on the left cheek. he pulls back licks your clit, snaking a hand between your legs. he spits on one of his fingers before slowly teasing your hole. he slips it in easily and moves it, following the speed of his tongue.

you whine and grip his hair again.

"would you like more, pet?"

"mhmm."

"sorry? i do not speak slut."

"eddie, darling, you're covered in my period blood. you are literally a bloody whore."

"you're god damn right, baby!"

he continues licking, slipping in a second finger. his heart warms each time his hand brushes against the soft skin of your inner thigh. it's a silly, boyish thing to notice considering the situation, but he still takes the time to admire your body and feel thankful to be allowed to be with you in such a way.

after what feels like an eternity, you slowly lose steam, feeling too overstimulated to keep going after four orgasms. you softly tug his hair and sluggishly drape your body over his head.

"eddie...can't," is all you manage.

eddie hums in response and slowly pulls you off of him. he lets his hands drag against your skin up to your face, relishing in how blissed out you are. his eyes shine with happiness and pride, glad to have made you feel so good, especially after you were so worried.

"oh, my pet, you were perfect as always. for allowing me to drink such delicious and sweet nectar from you, i would like to keep worshiping your body if it won't disturb you?"

you lay on your tummy, arms tucked to your side, head facing eddie next to you. you feel the drunken smile on your face and warmth on your cheeks, eyes closed, and your heart swells as you process that your lover wants to please you even more.

"that would be nice..." you breathe out.

he grins and lies next to you, molding his naked body against yours. if there's anything eddie loves, it's skin to skin contact. he loves it because it's one of the few things that makes him feel like he's alive. you've slowly gotten used to how cold he is and have come to enjoy it, especially after energy draining sex sessions like right now.

his right hand wanders your skin as he kisses the expanse of your back. he touches you like you were a sculpture, capable of breaking easily. he hums as he loves you, so content he thinks his heart will kick back up.

"i'm going to die if i ever lose you," eddie whispers against your skin.

"so will i," you respond.

Tw: reader is gender neutral here but there will be scenario where reader has afab anatomy

Whenever you hug Yves, he will smoothen your clothes after, adjusting it so you're well kept.

He will be the first to notice a faint wrinkle on your shirt, or if the hem of your clothes are a bit higher up on your body than usual, or when there's a speck of dirt on you, or when your hat is a bit lopsided.

Yves wouldn't bring your attention to it, though. He would be asking you about your day while he fixes them for you. Only if you manage to put a very egregious stain on your top or pants (Ie., spilling a whole cup of black coffee onto yourself), will he start to react- but it depends on your personality.

If he knows you're already feeling terribly ashamed about it, and you're coming to him for help, Yves would be sympathetic and assured that it's alright. He will swiftly give you a new change of clothes that he somehow managed to fit into his impossibly spacious handbag. He wouldn't scold you for being careless nor will he comment negatively about it. He would simply console you with a hug and a kiss, before letting you go to face the world, with him right behind you.

If you're someone who loves to be mothered, then, he will gladly nag your ear off, gently and lovingly admonishing you to be careful in the future as he works hard to fix the situation. Yves would speak in such a way that only makes you feel completely cared for, he wouldn't make you feel bad for "inconveniencing" him. If anything, he's upset that you're inconveniencing yourself!

He wouldn't hand you a fresh change in this instance, seeing that you're quite proud of your blunder.

If given the chance, Yves would love to pick your daily outfit for you! Everything would be suited to your style and comfort, you will have a newly washed set every day; you wouldn't have to think about how you're going to appear to others, Yves had you covered.

If you don't pay enough attention or barely have a backbone, you will find yourself being dressed by Yves each morning. Especially when you're already living with him, all you have to do is raise your arms up and he will remove your pyjamas for you. He buttons up your blouse effortlessly and quickly. Insert one leg into your pants at a time as he kneels and holds it out for you.

If you never said no to him, he would be putting your socks on for you and slipping your shoes on your feet. He already ties your shoelaces for you whenever it's undone ever since you and him got close; Yves would have you distracted by making you talk or otherwise, as he crouches down to secure your shoes. This is to ensure that you never questioned his habits of babying you.

Whenever you're about to brush your teeth, he would fold your sleeves up for you, so that you wouldn't get them wet. Likewise if you're about to eat or do anything that involves the wrist. It's automatic, he would do it for you even though he fully knows you're capable of doing it yourself.

You wouldn't realize how dependent you are on Yves until you got your sleeves wet because he wasn't around and you had forgotten to roll them up. You wouldn't know how to fix your neck tie, or even make an appropriate knot. You keep tripping over your loose shoelaces, you wear mismatched socks that are inside out and your fly is constantly unzipped because Yves would be the one who zips it without you realizing.

Hell, you probably wouldn't even know where to find fresh sets of clothes since Yves handles everything.

If you don't keep yourself in check, you would find yourself unkempt, disastrous and overwhelmed whenever Yves isn't around you. Because you had forgotten how to be independent. Be sure to remind yourself regularly that you are capable of doing many things on your own. You should be doing many things on your own.

Especially if you have a uterus; if you let it fester, Yves would be applying your menstrual pads on your underwear, removing and disposing of your used sanitary products for you. He would even skillfully insert your tampons if you let him, you wouldn't understand how he could do it so quickly, painlessly and unnoticeably. Whenever you do it yourself, it's a long, uncomfortable and messy process.

He shows that he cares and loves you in ways like these that could very easily get out of hand. Where you would feel like he has robbed you of your autonomy and agency. That is why, you will have to say no to him at points.

But please do so gently yet firmly, as most of the time, he wasn't intentionally trying to treat you as if you're paralyzed from the neck down. It was mostly instinctive and reflexive; he wouldn't ask or hesitate, he just does it. Which frequently leads to you becoming so confused to the point of speechlessness.

Yves would earnestly apologize if he overstepped some boundaries, keeping in mind to refrain from doing such things again. Though, the disappointment in his eyes is undeniable whenever you have to stop him from coddling you to a catastrophic degree.

cw: implied gochi x reader, (afab) reader who menstruates, period sex, no mention of birth control or protection, tiny mention of breeding kink kinda ?

A/N: Idk what this is, it’s just been sitting in my drafts for ages and I need it to not be rotting there anymore. It’s not unedited but it’s been sitting around for a while so there may be overlooked mistakes.

Thinking about how Saiyans probably aren’t phased by a little blood during sex when it’s your time of the month.

Specifically thinking about Goku.

You’re curled up in bed waiting for the pain reliever to kick in. Goku comes in, particularly riled up about something- probably coming off the heels of a training session or fight.

Goku’s libido is just as insatiable as his appetite. He’s got all this energy buzzing around inside him and this opportunity is far too perfect to resist to expel it. “Chi said you weren’t feeling well.” He says as he slips into the bed with you.

“Cramps.” You whine. You should protest about him being sweaty but he's all warm as he snuggles up to you. You really can’t bring yourself to complain about it but in your lethargic state, you really can’t bring yourself too.

You’d change the sheets and take a shower after a nap.

His hands are big and warm and feel nice when he kneads your hips and tummy. But you do whine a little when he starts getting a little handsier. Goku wasn’t exactly what you’d call subtle, especially in situations like this.

“We can’t- I’m on my period.“ You squirm, but wriggling out of his hold is a lost cause. Honestly if you weren’t as hazy, you’d have realized he probably already knew that- saiyans have a very sharp sense of smell.

“And?” Goku presses the heel of his palm into your soft stomach.

That makes you pause. Goku isn’t an idiot, but sometimes- unless it involves fighting, some things just slip his mind.

“M bleeding.” You remind him.

Goku shrugs around you. “You really think a little blood bothers me?” Your face wrinkles. Periods are completely normal bodily functions but they’re still… gross. His nose meets your cheek, nudging it. “It’ll make you feel better won’t it?”

You’re eventually bullied onto your front with a pillow under your hips.

(We’ll skip having to remove menstrual products, can you imagine having to explain what a diva cup is to him?)

He certainly wouldn’t mind eating you out either, you’re glad you can’t see him cause it’d be just too embarrassing. Now, I firmly believe Goku eats pussy as eagerly as he eats anything. Blood isn’t going to change that, you’ve seen him eat raw meat before.

He doesn’t stop when you cum either. It’s too much and you have to beg him to move on, not that he needs much convincing to slot himself into you.

You’re so sensitive and the slide of his cock against your walls is so much more. You just have to lay there and take it, but that’s okay because you don’t have that much energy to do so. The pressure of his weight on your hips eases the ache there.

Goku is always a little unintentionally rough. He gets overeager and forgets himself. But you can tell he’s trying to be gentle.

By the time both of you are satisfied and Goku flops down next to you so you can see him again, he looks feral. Blood is smeared on his cheeks, his hands and up his forearms. His pelvis looks like a massacre and based on the stickiness on your thighs, you’d hazard a guess that you look similar.

A cheeky grin cracks over his face before he rolls over closer to you, forcing you into a kiss. You’re tired, too tired to continue to fight him. “You’re so nasty.” You whine.

“Feel better now, sweetie?” Goku pulls your sticky sweaty body to his. He kneads at your hip and tummy best he can with one hand, the other wrapped around you to keep you close.

“Mhm… better but gross…. And tired. We need a bath and then a nap?”

He stretches a little. “Gimme a minute.” You pout at him. It’s not a matter of his stamina, he’s just being a bit lazy. Wants to have you close for a little longer, even if you’re absolutely filthy- and not in the good way. Sticky.

ChiChi would surely scold her husband for staining the bedding, even if technically it was you that caused it. She knows it was only a byproduct of her husband’s meddling, and would never blame you for it. Send you off for a hot bath while she makes him strip the bed for washing.

Goku joins you for round two of course, followed by a snack and the nap after. You won’t admit it aloud, for fear it’ll only encourage him more but you do feel better.

He’ll also tote you around cause you don’t feel good but he will try to steal off your snacks. And lay on you. And joke (you think it’s a joke, he does not) that he can help make your period go away for a while if you let him.

Extra: I think Saiyans know when you’re going to get your period. Just instinctually- they’re all about emotions and the moon and stuff ?

A menstrual cup is a wonderful product for women especially if they put it during their period time But do you really know how to remove it painlessly Learn how to remove menstrual cup with our comprehensive guide

[bubble4u]

I just had a great idea! I want to know how South, Mikey, Hanma, Rindou and Ran would react if their partner asks them for help to remove the menstrual cup since it got stuck! 😅❤️

I'm loving these 🤣🤣🤣 never had this happen but I have been on the end of seeing a friend ask her partner for this same request.

South: I'm gonna say he don't care he's had to take of his Ill mother and who knows what that could've consisted of so this will not phase him at all man's gonna be fingers deep and no he doesn't care if there's blood on his palm he's gonna be focused trying to get the damn out.

Mikey: while yes he has a sister he's gonna internally freak a bit, so be prepared with leg propped up on a toilet and him literally looking under like you're a bike in the shop GOD FORBID SOMEONE WALKS IN he's gonna stay in that bathroom after he's helped you and just.... contemplate life 🤣

Hanma: yeah good luck he loves you and he'll kill for you and by all means he loves fingering you but no IF he does help be prepared to hear snide ass comments along the way "I mean I get it it's stuck babe but why me" "how the fuck does it get stuck?" "Oh fuck why is there blood I thought you said you were done" just be prepared.

Ran and rindou to me are gonna have the same reaction: while they both do not wanna see you in pain or scared they're gonna get those medical gloves a mask and a plastic bag 🤣🤣 they're going in like it's a bomb and if you slightly flinch they're gonna stop and be like "you ok? you sure? Did I hurt you?" While it may take a minute they'll get it out and they'll try to high five you like team work but will retract cause yeah liquids

[otherkin-confessional]

To period blood anon: objectively, you can absolutely eat your own period blood. There's nothing inherently dangerous about it as your body is already getting rid of it and it's honestly just regular venous blood diluted with vaginal discharge and uterine tissue. If you want to maximize your Blood Collecting Abilities, learn how to use a silicone menstrual cup, as they don't absorb any blood and can be worn all day. There's a learning curve involved, but once you figure it out, it's not the worst thing in the world. A bit more uncomfortable than tampons to insert and remove imo, but that's me being opinionated. Different strokes for different folks.

Subjectively, people may view you eating your own menstrual blood as somewhat unhinged behavior, so proceed with caution.

Cups are the Best Way to deal with ur period: for anyone who has one (but I'm focusing on trans men because I am a trans man) (TW for anatomical terms and mild sex talk)

Let me explain. First of all, you may be wondering what a menstrual cup is. They're also called diva cups and they're essentially a tiny silicone cup that you fold up, put inside your vagina with your hands (although there is one version I've heard of that uses an applicator) and it pops open to catch the blood. When you need to remove it, you pull it out, dump it out into the toilet and put it back in. You can sterilize it between periods by boiling it for a few minutes in water.

First and foremost, cost and environmental concerns. You can buy one of these for $20-30 or less and reuse it for 10+ years. One site that sells cups (YUUKI if you're interested) gives a 2 YEAR warranty on their products and says that as long as you don't break the cup somehow you could theoretically use it for the rest of your life. By far the most cost effective method, AND you never have to go to a store aisle and buy tampons or pads as a dude ever again if you don't want to. But you may be wondering, "random dude on the internet, what about overnight? It goes inside you so obviously you'd need to buy pads anyway for overnight."

WRONG.

You can keep it in for 12+ hours safely. It's safe to wear overnight. "But I bleed a lot, it wouldn't work for overnight?" WRONG again these things have the capacity of like 4 tampons. AND they come in sizes, there are bigger ones and smaller ones depending on what you need.

They also reduce the intensity of cramps for some people due to the way they seal near the cervix.

If you like having sex, the cup is entirely internal: there's no string, just a little nub thing at the bottom of the cup, so you can easily get head with no blood in the equation. Some people even say you can have PIV sex with the cup in with minimal issues. I've never tested that but it seems like there's a separate thing called a menstrual disc (I have no experience with those) that do totally allow no-blood PIV sex.

Due to the fact that it's entirely internal, there is no annoying ass little string bullshit in the way when you pee. You can basically put it in and forget entirely about it for 12 hours.

Don't like feminine packaging? There's companies that do very neutral packaging. Don't like overly feminine colors and designs? A lot of cups are clear. Hate how fucking bad it hurts to have to pull out a dry tampon? That problem does not exist with cups. You can also buy a cup at CVS or other drugstores, some grocery stores even stock them.

You don't have to wear any specific type of underwear to make this comfortable; You can wear it to swim, wear it with no underwear or with boxers, it's not going to affect the usability at all.

Literally the only downside is that there's a learning curve for using one of these things and you have to be somewhat comfortable with touching the anatomy you have at least twice in a 24 hour period, and you need to be OK with looking at blood. I recommend the youtube channel Precious Stars Vlogs if you need help with learning how to use one.

Here's some links to places that sell fairly gender neutral cups:

Any tips on how to stay smelling fresh down there the *whole* day? sorry if this makes you uncomfortable

Hi love! I'm sorry if you grew up in an environment where it was in any way shameful or embarrassing to look after your health/hygiene. You're in an educational space <3

Here are some feminine hygiene tips to help vulva owners feel fresh all day:

Shower by washing with soap on the outside and water on the inside daily, before (and after) sex, or after any physical activity that leaves you sweaty

Never use douches or scented vaginal wipes/cleansers

Wear breathable cotton underwear & change it daily

Always wipe front to back

Pee after sexual activities. Always!

Keep your hair trimmed (you don't need to shave or wax if you prefer a little more coverage). Exfoliate and moisturize the outside skin 1-2x/weekly and daily, respectively – I'll always recommend Fur products for body hair removal/grooming!

Carry around vaginal cleansing wipes and/or keep some in your bathroom to freshen up at home (Rael makes great fragrance-free ones that are OBGYN approved. Their feminine mist also works well for a refresh)

Avoid tight pants/clothing (and thong underwear) when you can

Change your tampon/pad every 3-4 hours during that time of the month (if you don't use a menstrual cup). Avoid scented period products, and always make sure you don't have a lost tampon left up there

Clean up your diet if needed. Eating fewer processed foods, sugars, and meat/dairy or cutting down on sugary drinks/alcohol (or even coffee) should leave you with less odor down there

Hope this helps xx

I wish more women would give menstrual cups & reusable discs a try. I think a lot of women are intimidated by them because they think they’re gross ? But personally I see them as less gross than traditional disposable products. Most of the blood gets flushed away. Yes you have to wash it and a little gets on your fingers, but it’s barely any ?? I think that’s a lot less gross than having to wrap your bloody tampon or pad in plastic wrapping/toilet paper, but that’s just my opinion. (Plus there’s going to be way less trash in your bathroom’s garbage can.)

And I absolutely love being able to wear them overnight. I hate pads & I’m too scared of TSS to wear a tampon to bed. (I’ve heard of girls actually doing that ??? My mom always told me that was super dangerous…) But I can just wear my underwear with nothing else on them when I have a cup or a disc in. It’s amazing.

And I think a lot of women are scared that cups & discs will hurt. I will admit, the menstrual cup can hurt really fucking bad if you don’t know how to use it right. Because it works by creating a suction, you have to break the suction every time you take it out. I didn’t know this the first time I tried a cup and…yeah…ouch. Do not suction cup your pussy like I did !! All you have to do to break the suction is hook your finger over the cup’s lid. DO NOT PULL THEM STEM.

I think it’s harder to get the placement right with menstrual discs, but because it doesn’t use suction there is no risk of giving your entire pussy a hickey. You just pull them out easy peasy. The first time I tried menstrual discs they kept leaking because I was putting them in wrong, but I decided to try them again this month. I watched a bunch of TikToks that used anatomical models to show how to put them in and how they sit in your body. They were super helpful and I finally got it right. (You have to make sure it’s behind your cervix & tucked behind your pubic bone !)

And although I’ve been a cup girlie for a very long time, I think I’ve been converted to a disc girlie. I loved my cup, but I did experience issues with it “poking out” sometimes. When it’s in correctly, you can’t feel it at all. But sometimes it’ll slowly make it’s way out & I had issues with the stem poking my labia. Not fun. I haven’t had any issues with the disc trying to escape & that’s most likely because it sits farther up in your body. I think this makes them more convenient & more comfortable than menstrual cups.

(And let me tell you…masturbating with a disc in is so good. 🤭 I don’t have anyone to have sex with but if I did I’m sure that would feel amazing too.)

I would still recommend every woman try both because not everyone’s body is the same. I think both of these products are amazing & can change women’s lives.

However, I do have a warning for y’all about menstrual cups. Not all menstrual cups are created equal. There was a case where a woman’s cervix was suctioned out of her body. The menstrual cup she was using did not look like a typical menstrual cup. It was the FemmyCycle cup. If a menstrual cup looks a little too weird, I wouldn’t recommend using it. (If that scares you, definitely try discs because there’s no risk of something like that happening !)

I hope this post wasn’t too weird. Like I said, I really love these products & I want more women to try them because they’ve changed my life. I know they’re intimidating, but I think every woman should give them a try at least once. And if they don’t work out that’s fine ! I just want to remove some of the stigma around these products.
