Trust me... Females ONLY! Trust me...

I always hate it that they put the tampons in the locked case and made me ask for them. I'm not comfortable w/ a male clerk asking me what size I need :) Just bring what you need ... they don't take up much space. And there were many times I was in the water w/ shark while on my cycle..... never been attacked. Some of the research suggests that kind of body fluid is not appetizing to shark :confused:

Lmao this thread has been informative and entertaining

I've always worried that I would get a case of kidney stones WHILE down there....scary thought I know, not to be a killjoy

OMFG LOL LOL
I have to chime in here. A man that recommends the Diva Cup. We have discussed this product at our book club and not a single woman could help from gagging. This would be helpful in third world countries for folks to poor to buy product but here in the states we have products available that absorb the flow not that we stick our hands in and take a cup in or out of our bodies to empty and wash. I encourage everyone to read up on that bugger but do not have a weak stomach.
For a man this would be like sticking a dixie cup up your ars and removing it and emptying and cleaning it out and sticking it back in.

If you truly do not want to have your flow while on vacation talk to your Dr. about 6 weeks ahead of time there are a variety of ways to avoid it.

Shelly I will never be able to look at or use a Dixie cup again!

Just wear a red bathing suit ?

whew! happy to be menopausal lol

I saw a 12 pack of diva cups at walmart. But you dont reuse them, just throw them away and put in another. Plus when you get in water, your flow may be lighter or almost nonexistent.

Lol poor tanfastic

I know someone who skips theirs via the Pill whilst on vacation. Just sayin.
