I had eliminated my periods which was amazing but I'm not allowed to continue that birth control for now and I had forgotten how much my periods sucked and how uncomfortable they were and my little brain is melting down over pads like I'm a teenager and it's my first period again.
The curse of Eve. Honestly in the top 3 of worst things about being a woman, fucking periods!
I bought period panties a while back and they've been more tolerable for me. I found the ones from Modibodi to be the most comfortable but also pretty expensive. Here, at least, the grocery stores usually sell other brands which are cheaper.
Unfortunately I bleed so heavily the panties never worked for me (and so many clots) but maybe they've improved over the years!
I use ones for heavy flow because mine can get very bad with a lot of clots, but mine are so all over the place that I actually haven't had a heavy one since getting them to test them out. Sorry I don't have more helpful information for you.
I have heard menstrual cups are really good, but I don't have any personal experience with them.
Menstrual cups are right out, unfortunately. The depo shot was amazing and hopefully this breast cancer scare goes away and I can use depo again!
