Time for a journey with a sponge....!

Yes, You followed me through my Moon Cup journey, why not follow me through a journey of sponges too?
It is quite possible you are reading this and literally have the shocked smiley face on you right now, it is also possible you know exactly what I'm talking about too ;-)

Ok - Here's the thing.

As great as the Moon Cup is there is one vital task you can not perform with it in.

Do I really need to spell it out?

S - E - X.

I guess you could remove it and have sex while in full flow but that's not my style, as messy as sex is I could and would never do it while on my period.

BUT THEN .............  I learned about sponges ;-)

Basically, it's exactly the same as a Moon Cup. Wash, squeeze, insert, remove and repeat!
The only advantage it has over the Moon Cup is that you can have sex with it in (apparently Porn Stars use it). Anyway, I have quite a high cervix, so retrieval could certainly be interesting after the deed has be done but don't worry, I shall keep you informed of my journey ;-) I know a few of my readers have been converted onto using a Moon Cup purely because I blogged about this journey with you and you wanted something more eco-friendly, so who knows - If you too get horny while on your period, maybe you'll try the sponges too?

The great thing about a sponge is that:

1) It's soft
2) You can have sex while it's in
3) Your partner may not even feel it (depending on his length of course, and even if he is big enough to crash into your cervix, it'll still feel as spongy as it was then ... )
4) If you are out in public and can't wash your Moon Cup out, you could have a spare sponge ready in your hand bag

The only downside that I have found is:
1) You are more prone to leak over night (for this very reason I'll be using my Moon Cup over night)
2) You may have difficulty retreiving it after sex
3) The Moon Cup creates a seal around you - the sponge doesn't so, again - we may have leaking problems



I am waiting for my sponges to come and I will let you know how I get on with them.
I have ordered a few different sizes, one small, one medium and one large - because obviously the flow varies as to which CD we are on doesn't it girlies? ;-)

Anyway - Until they come I shall sign off.. Don't worry - I shall not put graphic pictures up this time, I'm sure my other half would have something to say about that anyway... wink wink ;-)
