I joined up a few days ago, but it usually takes me a while to say hi. So.. Hi :)

Got my period Wednesday after expecting it for four days (gotta love PMS). I'm having problems with pads. I've used them since the whole deal started (back when I was 15) and don't have that bulkiness problem that the tampon companies try to tell me I have. I'm fine with Always because they're so thing. But the wings suck. I need a longer front so I put it up higher than is intended and the wings always bunch up. Yesterday I finally had an idea and trimmed them a bit. Today I just folded the tops and that seems to be working. I did get outside the lines so to speak, but I don't know if that's just do to shifting or what.

Always is trying to drive us insane. They keep changing their colors and the sizes and the packaging. Do their long maxis really need to be a foot long? With less than a quarter of that in the front? I know there's nothing wrong with my vagina. This has finally made me want to try the cup but because I'm in college and live in a dorm that'd be awkward. Grrr.
