yet another question about sponges... :)
(i didn't see a memories section on sponges, i'm sorry)

i've been using my keeper for a little over a year now, and absolutely love it... but when it comes to having sex on my period i usually use insteads (when it's too incovenient to go without anything, i mean.)
anyways, insteads can get expensive, and i still don't rather like the idea of disposable products. and i read in a previous post that you can use sponges during sex...

firstly, how are they with that? does it still get messy? are they uncomfortable (i guess mostly for the male) or can he hardly feel them? i'm debating trying those - i wouldn't mind that so much if they work well.

and secondly, can i get sea sponges at a drug store, or do i have to get them at a health store? (i'm in canada, by the way. i was thinking shoppers drug mart or something along those lines.) are they the same as the natural cosmetic ones they sell for makeup and stuff? (i'm asking because i don't have a credit card or a car, so it's hard for me to go searching all over town...)

anyways, thank you so so much. even the possibility excites me :)

Oh, I'm keepiung my eye on this post. I also use the Instead during intercourse and a DivaCup the rest of the time, but I'd also like to move away from Instead (for the same reasons you listed and also because I am one of those people who the Instead works really well for until it's full and then WHOOSH it all just bursts out and because my bf can feel my Instead - it's not a problem, but it does make intercourse a little nervous for him even though we do it and both enjoy it).

Since there has been no reply here in the menstrual hut, would you mind if I stole your question and asked over in vaginapagina? I wasn’t kidding when I said I’d be keeping my eye out for answers!

fine by me! :)

Done!

If no one replies, I may just order some sea sponge from lunapads (or maybe ask their customer service about it) and see how it works.

cool, be sure to post about how that goes then, if that's what you end up doing

hi - I'm from Canada too! You can get a sponge a health food store (but they might be expensive) or Shopper's is probably a good place. You can buy big ones and just cut them down to the right size. AND they best part is you can wash them and use them over and over again!

Save the planet! Recycle! :)

Why not just make sure you have a dark towel and go with nothing at all - chances are he will hardly notice and if he's comfortable with sex during your period anyhow, what difference does it make? You can just shower together afterward!

usually we do do that... he actually loves having sex on my period.
but sometimes it's incovenient and difficult to do that (he lives with his parents still, and his ten year old nephew) so i was wondering about alternatives for those instances.
