Period Product Suggestions

Hey Everyone! I am looking for suggestions when it comes to period products. I usually use pads, but I am considering a diva disk/cup or period panties? In your opinion what’s the best for a heavy flow and not uncomfortable.

Month three of bleeding on the pill.

Google says it can be quite normal. It’s been on and off, but seems like a long time. Anyone else experience the same?

Possible chemical?

Hi ladies. I feel like I’m heading towards a chemical? I don’t feel like my tests are really getting darker, and then today on 12 DPO it’s lighter. If it’s going to be a chemical, I just want to start bleeding already as this is torture.

My husband told me the color of my period blood was beautiful and I don't know how to take it.. A bit.. Flattered with the way he was describing it
