1. How old were you when it first started?

13, I think. Maybe 12. I have a fairly vivid memory but no context whatsoever.

2. Pads or Tampons or something else? (You can find scary things on the shelves of Wally World.)

Both, usually. It took me a while to start using tampons, but they do have the compactness etc going for them, though I don't get the impossibility-of-being-seen since I always use a pad as well because I never seem to realise when the tampon's going to run out. I've been thinking about getting a Mooncup but I haven't got round to it yet because I need to print out the form and don't have a printer, so.

3. How long does the curse usually last?

Seems like forever. Four to six days, I'd say. It's usually heavy for two days then dribbles on for the rest of the week.

4. Do you get PMS-y and cranky or is it just another bloody day?

I get cranky. I tend to be a bit more emotional (witness crying this afternoon because the fucking computers wouldn't let me log in) and sometimes really grumpy because of the cramps (grr. not that they're bad, but they're enough.) and, um. just feel icky.

5. Favorite comfort food or activity for that time of month?

Chocolate. Huzzah for chocolate. Also bran flakes tend to be quite good. And, yeah, I have been known to huddle in a corner with a hot water bottle.

ETA: How frequent? And how regular?

Every four and a bit weeks, generally. Not particularly regular, I've missed the odd one and sometimes there's only two or three weeks between, which is always fucking annoying, because it's like, damnit! I only just finished bleeding and I'm starting again! Though of course that's an exaggeration.



Also, having no hair really cuts down on the shower time, though I have a tendency to linger anyway. But. Yes.

oh well...

Especially if it is white.
