Hi, you can go to the Dr and they may be able to give you something to stop your period while you are away. I did this about six years ago when I went to France with my school. They gave me a tablet called Norithisterone and it was fantastic because I didn't like the idea of tampons back then. Good luck :smile:
Mooncup?

Mooncup?



I wouldn't recomend a mooncup in this situation for a first time user. I used one once and couldn't hack it!

If you are on the pill you could just do two packets back to back.
She might have time to practice, we don't know!

True true...
Start "lyking" tampons.

How far in advance do you have to take it?

If you're on the pill you can just start another packet instead of having a break (for a bleed). Obviously if you're not on the pill, that's absolutely no help at all....:redface:

What the hell is a mooncup? I can kind of picture it but if it's what is in my head then it's kind of gross.

Learn to use tampons - they are your friend!!

i think she is worried about bleeding while in the shower, which normally happens.
the best thing you can do is go to the toilet before hand, have a wee (hehe) and try and clear as much blood away as you can.. then have a quick shower. if you are quick enough, you won't have a problem.

They're an incredibly smart idea. You'll find the mooncup thread inside lessthanthree's Best Threads Ever!! at the top of H&R.


Who are you to judge whether they're "smart" or not.

it's not just his opinion that mooncups are smart inventions. I don't use one personally, but I think that it's a good idea. No more every-four-hours-I-must-use-the-little-girls-room thing

I'm not gonna say you're opinion is more valid on this matter than Ron's just because you're a girl.

You could put black bikini bottoms on, so you still get a wash but no-one's going to notice anything, especially if you're quick. If anyone asks why and you're a bit embarrassed, just say you have a rash or something. It won't be too bad.

What the hell? Anyone can judge whether an idea is smart or not, as long as they have basic brain function.

And he's right.
