Cherry’s Secret- We’re Talking Periods

******LADIES ONLY POST******

{Men, you are welcome to read at your own risk, but this is about Feminine Hygiene products. Consider yourself warned.}♥

In biblical Hebrew times, when a woman was on her period, she had a sort of reprieve.  A reprieve from sex or any physical contact from her husband in fact.  Not even a brush on the shoulder was aloud! (Can you imagine?) She was then to cleanse herself in the ritual Mikveh bath for purification before she could go make love to her husband.

{It was a God ordained law, and many spiritual reasons pointing to Jesus did this represent.  Unfortunately, they also tacked on many “man-made”  laws that were outright ridiculous! }

During a woman’s time of the month, she was deemed  ”unclean”  AND for the whole next week AFTER!!!! Yes, you heard me…14 whole days! 14 days of no touchy touchy and especially no nookie!  No wonder women who hang out together, will naturally start menstruating together, because God knew they would need some company!

Now, I am not going to make this a bible lesson post, but lets just say, it did give the woman a break, and the men, well, they had to learn to control themselves. But, we don’t live this way anymore

No, some of our husbands are not too fond of going 2 days, let alone 2 weeks without being able to fondle, smooch and make love to us.  Some of us do rely on our periods to give us a break, it seems like it’s a mandated one. You tell him, ”I got FLO today”…. He says, “OOOOOkay……gotcha.”  and he goes his merry way.

To be honest, during my period, I am not a pretty sight, nor do I really feel all that well. It’s kind of a ”bad time” for me physically, and many others too feel this way, especially in the first couple days.  But, toward the end, I am feeling bit randy and want to be more intimate.

Now, I know what you’re thinking….”what then, does Cherry want to sell me on that will allow my husband access to my private torment when she herself likes to be left alone during this time?”

Okay, let me explain.

Sometimes, we have to, want to, make love.

Reasons?

Sometimes we can’t get our schedules in synch and he has to leave on a business trip.

Sometimes Most of the time, our husbands are just horny.

Sometimes, our hubby just got back from a long trip and he’s missed us dearly.

Sometimes, WE are just horny.

Sometimes, (and this just fumes me) we are ON A VACATION !!!!

Sometimes we just like it whenever we feel like it and don’t want restrictions!

Yes, a visit from our fine red friend,  can come at the most opportune times.  So, what is a girl to do to have a little fun around here?

Never fear, there is a light at the end of this ugly tunnel.

It’s not a big secret. It’s in your local drugstore. It’s sorta new and unusual.  It’s changed the way I do periods.

Soft Cups-Made by Instead.  Have you heard of them?  Seen them?

(they have disposable, and reusable now)

Maybe you already use them for your period.  Fabulous!  I myself use these and a Lunette Cup for regular days because it has two sizes and it’s awesome.

But, these Soft Cups are one size fits all, which you know is not accurate, but, they do get the job done on light days. Soft Cups are a relatively new innovation that were actually designed as an alternative to tampons and sanitary towels (napkins) for women. Soft cups consist of a round piece of silicone with a sort of rubber bag underneath. They are inserted into the vagina like tampons but rest under the cervix and the soft cup collects the menstruation blood. They can be left in for 12 hours!!!!!  So much longer than tampons.

The other added benefit -

(((((YOU CAN have sex with them in)))))

{Yes, they are almost like a diaphragm, except disposable, but they are NOT a contraceptive. Some woman are using these for conception. Inserting them after intercourse.}

Stop hyperventilating. Breathe. You can do this…if you want to.   I am just giving you this option for when you need it. The poor, segregated Hebrew woman didn’t have any options. You do.

{Side note:  Husbands are not allowed to bring this up if they are sneaking and reading this post. This is your wife’s decision. Skedaddle. }

What is the big deal????  You literally cannot feel them in, and you cannot feel your husbands love muscle up there either.  They also keep you from leaking out, so you feel clean and confident during your lovemaking or during his oral behaviors.  This is why they are needed for those times described above.  You can have sex without the mess!!!

{Let me repeat: you can wear them while you have sex. You won’t feel that being rammed in deeper, and your husband will not notice them either. They should not be used with IUD users for you can accidentally grab the string of IUD.}

Try them, practice and get the feel for them.  They take some time  in order to get them in just right. It’s best to do it for the first time on your lightest days. You also cannot be afraid to ”go there” with your own body to get them out. That can be the messy part. You do have to be able to get more personal with yourself using these, but the benefits for a  more trouble free period is so worth it.

Just think, the next time you are on vacation and old faithful starts, you can at least have an option now to use if you want to enjoy that vacation or horny time to the fullest  I am sure your husband, who is NOT READING THIS POST, will really appreciate it, and you will too.

So, who has just now heard of this and is excited to use it?
