Aunt Flo came today. Does anyone else only have cramps on the day you start your period and not before or after; or am I just weird?

Sigh...

I suppos I should be happy. This month has featured only a couple of days of head-fake spotting and godawful cramps. Who's got the chocolate?

I've been most intrigued, reading about The Keeper and Instead. I might give Instead a go for a month, and see how it works out. I'm tired of having to get up three times during the night to deal with tampons...

Must go find advil, now...

using instead . . . instead

hi. i just joined. obviously 'cause i have a question. i figured i'd give instead a try this month - up until reading here tonight i didn't even know there was a keeper. i scrolled back a bunch of entries but only found this entry discussing it. how many people here actually use instead? does everyone have leakage? did your partner really not notice it during sex?

anyway, i'm trying it out for the first time right now and i'm highly nervous about it 'cause i hate switching from something i've come to mostly trust (tampons) - but i definitely see the perks (sex, longer time lapses, etc.). can everyone please tell me anything good or bad they know about using intead, and any tips if they have any?

thanks a lot.
