If you don’t know, this doesn’t stand for left and right. It stands for liquid and regular.
Light and regular.
No, it’s definitely liquid. I just asked my dad, brother, uncle, grandpa, and (male) friend.
I thought large
I am now more confused
Light and regular. There is also heavy. How much they can absorb.
Ahhh yes. Like Street Fighter.
why would one use light or regular? are tgey cheaper or have other advantages?
There’s variation between people on how much they menstruate. Some people have very light flows, some people have very heavy flows. It also changes a bit over the course of the period - you might start out with a lighter flow, have a heavier flow in the middle, and then end with a lighter flow. You generally want to go with the lightest one you can for comfort reasons.
You might also want a larger one for overnight/if you need to go a longer time without changing. (Imagine being a stealth transgender man and teaching. No time to go to the bathroom all shift, and no way to justify the emergency ☠️ My current part time job I have because public education is no trans allowed where I live is great in that regard, the staff is half trans/nb and my manager helped me find a tampon in an emergency…)
I think they were asking why doesn't everyone just use the heaviest flow ones all the time, just to be on the safe side — like are they less comfortable than the lighter flow ones for example?
Removing a tampon that isn't sufficiently soaked is pretty uncomfortable because it irritates the vagina. You also should change the tampon every few hours to avoid toxic shock symptom. If the tampon is too big, it won't be soaked enough and very uncomfortable to remove.
Wait are there solid mensuration?
Yeah, but it's rarer and usually called a baby.
I know you're joking but "solid menstruation" can actually happen and it's called a decidual cast and it's some brutal metal shit.
I'm glad I don't have to worry about passing brutal metal shit out of me. For some reason tetsuo the iron man comes to mind, but instead for women.
Iron Maiden? Lol
Does it look like one of those casts made of an anthill?
That'd be brutal.
It looks like a cast of a uterus made of coagulated blood cause that's literally what it is. :P
Define "solid". It can actually be a bit chunky because of the uterine lining. But they are soft
How soft? Are we talking skittle, starburst, sour patch, or jello?
Jello
I would go so far as to say softer than American jello, more like those super duper soft lychee cups or jellies/puddings you'd get at a decent boba shop
