Thanksgiving's here... and so is my period.

A few questions about products

[mangojellytoast.livejournal.com]

Does anyone in here know of a reuseable cup (similar to the Keeper) that isn't made of (or doesn't contain) natural rubber latex? (i'm allergic)

Also, anyone in here that uses washable pads, how do you go about washing them?

Thanks.

low does pills and extra pounds

[isolt.livejournal.com]

a visit to the gyno revealed that I've gained 20 lbs in the last year :(

I asked the doctor if it could be the pill, and she said that it wasn't very likely, since I'm on Alesse and the dose is super low (20 micrograms of estrogen). She also said that they've done studies with higher dose pills than mine and that weight gain isn't really a problem even on the higher does pills. It's very weird though, since I've been eating better and getting more exercise than I ever used to.

so, any of you girls on low dose pills, or that might know something about this, help, please? Have you had weight gain on low dose pills?
