i am at the tail end of my moontime
and i'm pleased
towards the end it starts to feel like my ladyparts are suffocating
it's time for me to get on up to wearing some cotton reusable pads
which you can get via
or glad rags
i'm also a HUGE fan of sea sponges
they cost alot more if you get them from the health food store or from an alternative menstrual products company...
i usually get mine from an art supply store or...my next ones are coming from wal-mart...i saw a tremendous bag of them there...
i boil the stew out of them when i get em...
and to clean them i soak them in water and peroxide (which will act as a bleaching agent as well)
and the beauty of the sea sponge
is that you can make love with it in...you may have to dig deep to get it out afterwards...but yeah...
AND...using the sea sponges gave me a much more organic understanding of how my ladyparts worked...
and tho i was experienced in the realm of self pleasuring...to be honest my actual vagina was sort of a mystery to me...a vaguely cavernous and dark cave into which things could disappear and never return...
so yeah...the sea sponge was a lovely revelation...
AND...some of my more um...wise woman/shamanistic sistren espouse the use of the menstrual blood as an offering to the earth...
just be sure to dilute it with lots of water if you're using it on houseplants...
*sidenote*
i'm craving ethiopian food (vegetarian)
and my grandma's fried chicken!
