Sleep prompts - 25 for Jinana/Julian 19 for Jinana/Nadia

[Sleepy Prompts]

25: “I didn’t mean to wake you. Go back to sleep.”

One set of eyes glows briefly in reflected moonlight as Jinana returns to the bedroom - Anjali, watching from her accustomed place, curled up on the foot of Jinana's side of the vast bed. But then s/he sees a second pair of of eyes, catching the light in a faint gleam as they slide open.

"Sorry to to wake you, love," s/he murmurs. "Go back to sleep."

Instead, Julian stirs, levering himself up on one long arm. "What's wrong, darling?" he asks, his voice rusty and blurred with sleep, yet sharp with concern.

"Just the monthly trouble. I took the tincture you made, and I've got the pillow Heron made for me." Filled with wooden beads, scented with lavender, and enchanted to give off a soothing warmth, it has also (rather charmingly) been made to resemble a ladybug.

Julian lifts the blankets for hir, pulling hir into his arms as s/he gets back into the bed. S/he curls up against him, the warming pillow against hir belly, his hands massaging gently at hir lower back. "Does that help, darling?"

"Mmmmhm." The tincture is fast-acting; soon hir eyelids are heavy, and even as the motion of Julian's hands begin to slow in his own drowsiness, s/he is asleep.

--- 19: “Stop fighting it. You need sleep.”

Her long, long hair is in an untidy bun, tendrils escaping all over; there is a smudge of paint on her cheek, which is otherwise innocent of makeup. A faint redness is creeping in from the corners of her eyes, shadows forming below. She has chipped one of her manicured nails, unnoticed.

She still looks beautiful.

When the inspiration takes her, she can work far into the small hours of the night. But it is rare that Nadia gets to indulge in her hobbies for such an uninterrupted period of time; it is even more rare for another to witness such a thing.

A soft curse escapes her lips as excess solder flows into the delicate joint she is making; quickly, she wicks it away. She then sits back with a sigh, rubbing at her eyes.

"You've been at this for hours." Jinana stands behind Nadia's seated form, kneading gently with her thumbs where neck meets shoulders and the muscles are tightest. S/he knows what it's like when hyper-focused on a single task, the hours melting away like minutes, but it does have its cost. "You should rest."

"I'm so close to being done," Nadia protests.

"Yes, but it will only take longer if fatigue causes you to make mistakes."

She groans, closing her eyes and letting her head tip forward to stretch the muscles of her neck. There is a brief, telltale jerk as sleep threatens to overtake her.

"Your body is practically crying for sleep. Stop fighting it." Jinana puts a touch of firmness in hir tone, and Nadia chuckles.

"Yes, Inquisitor." Her hands come up over Jinana's own, covering them entirely. "Will you stay with me?"

S/he smiles. "I will. Julian doesn't return until tomorrow... though of course, then I get to spend my time convincing him to sleep."

Nadia tips her head back, looking up at hir with a tired smile, then brings one of Jinana's hands to her lips, pressing a kiss to the palm. "Poor Jinana. Truly, we are all a trial to you."

S/he laughs. "As if I would have it any other way."

Another side effect of the experiments Khare underwent is that her cycles effectively shut down. She no longer has periods but is now infertile as a result of their genetic meddling.

"'Aight, I'm here in the tampon/pad isle, needle-noggin. What size pussy you wear?"

he is a pacifist at heart but wolfwood makes it hard to not occasionally wish to throttle the other. just a little. "...just bring a regular and super." he is never going to send wolfwood to the store again. for anything.

[thetricktoholdingon]

I had pms cramps at the office today, which absolutely sucked because usually I can make myself feel better if I just lay on my back on the floor. But you can’t do that when you’re in the office because every 30 seconds or so I’d have people asking me if I’m okay

[isatoru]

i like speaking my horny truth when i’m on my period

Cw: We are going to talk here about periods, and sex education in the past. Read this note according to your own sensibilities :)

How women dealt with periods during Edo period, article by shunga enthousiast Shungirl who made a paper pad following instructions found in makura bunko 枕文庫 - ie ancient sex books illustrated with erotic ukiyoe.

One of such makura bunko is 渓斎英泉 Keisai Eisen's 閨中紀聞-枕文庫, first published in 1822. It details Chinese remedies recipes for menstrual pains and irregularities, give tips about sex, and information about menstruations and pregnancy. From a modern point of view, some beliefs are outdated, but it was then such a bestseller it went through several reeditions.

Several words were apparently in use during Edo era to designates menstrual period: keisui 経水, gekkei 月経, tsukiyaku 月水, etc.

When girls went throught their first period, their females relatives or nannies would taught them how to deal with them. One method was to use paper as sanitary products (please note people without easy access to paper probably dealt with periods differently).

__________ 御馬 paper pads

Sanitary pads, such as the one recreated above by Shungirl, were then called mima 御馬 (probably as a pun on true "mima" which were then fine horses own by noblemen, or attached to sanctuaries as mounts for gods etc) or simply ouma お馬 ("honorable" horse).

Ouma were made from inexpensive recycled paper called Asakusagami 浅草紙. Sheets were folded 8 times, tied with twisted paper strings (koyori 紙縒), and then wrapped with another layer of folded paper. It was secured once again with paper strings.

Part of the strings could be left long so to tie around the waist, or/and pad was hold into place by wearing fundoshi 褌 loincloth (which would also help prevent leaking on inner tights).

Asakusagami quality was low (it was also used as toilet paper) so paper pads had to be changed often, meaning you had to fold quite a lot of them to go through your period!

Shungirl folded the pad above following instructions found in the book 実娯教絵抄, which provided several other "models":

__________ 詰め紙 paper tampons

Another method for dealing with periods were tampon-like paper bundles which were inserted into the vagina, the 詰め紙 (tsumeshi? I am not sure of the reading).

This method may have first appeared in red-light districts (?). Beside its use for periods, prostitutes also used those tampons as method of contraception (OP has an interesting article on this subject).

By the end of Edo period and into Meiji, paper tampons were widely used even by women who were not prostitutes - despite voices branding this method as unsanitary.

__________ About girls' coming of age rites

Menarche (first period) was an important milestone for girls, and was celebrated as such via specific rites (shochō o iwau 初潮を祝). Those differed a lot from places to places, and also depended on social status.

Celebrations would concern close family, but often spread to wider community who could received for example a festive meal (sekihan 赤飯) for the occasion (some Edo era senryû poems stress how mortifying this publicity could be!).

Interestingly, some traditions were also pretty sweet: in some places, mothers would sew 3 stiches into their daughter's underskirt (koshimaki 腰巻き) as a good luck charm, hoping their periods would last only 3 days <3

Those rites were part of coming of age traditions (seijoshiki 成女式) which marked the start of a young woman adulthood. Another example is the blackening of teeth (ohaguro お歯黒) which usually started around 16-17 years old.

Celebrating menarche publicly was a way of advertising that the girl was no longer a child and would "soon" be a bride. Yet, if menarche often took place around 13-14 years old, in reality it was somehow unusual to have girls married so soon!

Before marriage, especially in non-noble/samurai families, young women often started their sexual life via flings or yobai 夜這い ("night crawling" ie pseudo-secret nighttime encounters) before any wedding actually took place.

There are many reasons a regressor, dreamer, caregiver or flip may rely on diapers, such as:

✨ Incontinence, or the inability to control one’s bladder or rectum

✨ Menstrual cycles, as diapers are much more comfortable/less dysphoric compared to using pads or tampons

✨ Impaired mobility, which effects one’s fine motor and gross motor skills

✨ During recovery following a surgery, as not to put too much strain on their bodies

✨ Various medical conditions and disabilities where wearing them might be much more convenient

✨ Stress or anxiety

✨ Having a tendency of wetting the bed

✨ Nightmares

✨ Purely for comfort reasons, as they can provide a sense of security for the wearer

✨ To help one slip into their headspace or prevent any accidents when regressing, as they may have bathroom troubles in their regressed state

✨ Regardless of the reason, there’s no shame or harm in wearing diapers so long as you are comfortable above all else.
