Mooncup
Full to overflowing 11
Totally full to bursting, clots sloshing about, dam bust effect on towel, which was an absolute necessity, very messy.
Of these 8 were in the 10 hours that I posted about. The other 3 were a few days later and I still had the same outpouring, thus have not used them yet since.
Half full 1
As name suggests.
Tampons
Heavy 38
Sodden to the point of being past absorption, falls out when string gently pulled, lands like a broken milk bottle, often accompanied by large and frankly revolting looking clots.
This figure is almost a third of the amount in July - a sign that the pills kicked in almost immediately.
Medium 14
Some traces of white left on tampon, may be clots hanging on for grim life but not always, takes a little pull to remove.
Just over half of July's quota.
Light 4
Slightly bloody, generally at least half covered, takes a sharp pull to remove, not many of these as you can see.
More than July and expecting this figure to rise as the hormones kick in.
Heavy 9
Sodden to the point of leaking out all over clothing and causing “ooo I just sat in something brown” embarrassment, feels as heavy as a suitcase exceeding the airline limits
This figure went up but that was mainly achieved due the Mooncup period, as it is now known :)
Medium 9
Some traces of white left on towel, could squeeze in a few more ml of blood to the super absorbent core if you were really determined.
This is an improvement on last month.
Light 0
Slightly bloody, looks less like road kill has occurred in one’s pant and more like you’re having a fairly normal monthly bleed.
This although it was still a fairly lengthy bleed was much improved over July and made life much easier to manage. However because I didn't know what to expect I still was prepared, as all good Brownies are, for an explosion of menstruation at any given time.
