was having a conversation with my friend (we’re both on our periods rn) and she’s a “scooper” which is when apparently some women when they start their periods go up in themselves and scoop all the uterine lining out so their period is only like 2-3 days long. I AM NOT A SCOOPER i never heard of it before this but it makes me curious to try and wondering if anyone else does and likes it or what 😆❤️

Say what nah?! Ive never heard of that in my life. Wouldn't scraping your uterus out hurt like Hell?

I think we need like a lot more information 🙂

See now I’m upset… 😮💨😂🤣

After reading this….i immediately thought of a pumpkin scooper 🎃 sounds like something out of a horror movie.

guys i’m gonna drop this in here it’s a tik tok of a lady talking about it too!! it’s definitely a thing!!! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkFhXMxP/

Pardon the fuck out of me. WHAT?

My period is already only 3 days long lol never heard of scooping. I do use a diva cup though

I am going to need a better explanation than that woman provided. Like a demonstration actually. They scoop out your uterus during a c section but I've never heard of anything putting their hand inside to get it out....😭

Do you mean they have a dnc?
This is so whack
My periods are only 3 days anyway. Never heard of scooping. I’ve heard of DNCs to make their periods less heavy
People also have sex on their periods to make it less too

You should not be able to physically reach into the uterus during a period. Your cervix blocks the entrance and only opens a cm at most......not to mention- holy infection bat man!
If they're "scooping" anything it's literally just what is in the vaginal canal.

Consider me a non scooper but I’m CURIOUS 👀

I doubt this would actually change the length of your period cus you can’t possibly get up that far in your uterine lining with your fingers but if for some reason scooping your vag walls can reduce your period timeframe I’m here for it 😅

I have long periods and now I haven’t had since I was pregnant, but I do my best to clean everything because I don’t want all of that blood on my pad. Didn’t think anything of it 🤔

There is literally no way this could work. They’re only getting the blood out of their vagina if they do this, a period is shedding the lining of the uterus and they can’t reach whatever the uterus has got going on. If someone wants to do something nasty for the sake of doing something nasty they should just call it that lmao because they are not achieving any kind of result here

lol i did NOT mean to press yes.

No such thing. If a woman is able to scoop anything herself it’s what’s in her vagina. I think some women need some serious anatomy classes cause this is insane.
Not to mention, scooping your period from the uterine lining is not only unnecessary but dangerous. Any OB, IF ANY, who might do this is absolutely looking for a lawsuit and to lose their license.
It’s also sad that if a woman is struggling with her period being too heavy or too long, there isn’t a lot of holistic solutions offered even though they are there. It’s sad how OBGYNs are taught to treat symptoms with medicine but not help investigate and address these types of problems with diet, hormonal balancing, herbs and recommending more natural 100%cotton pads or other non toxic solutions like period panties and so on.

I am now realizing that I've heard of someone doing this in the shower before. Like pointing the shower head up there and rubbing around in it. Could never be me.

I’ve had too long of a day to come on here and read this 🤣

This went viral on tik tok not long ago and multiple OBGYNs warned of the danger of it

After having 2 week periods for the last almost year I’m pretty damn close to trying if it helps 🤣

The 3rd option needs to be renamed WTAF 🤯

Lmao she's not scraping her uterus, it would be insanely painful to get through her cervix and anyway she wouldn't reach.

wtf ? Never heard of it … also what is the point ?

My periods only last 3 days tops anyway, but also, I've never even thought about something like that. I wouldn't even know how to start, lol.

I don't think it works that way......

And I thought the Facebook poop knife girl was bad....

Not a scooper and mine are 3-4 days long

Good Lord no

🤢😒🙆🏿♀️😅

I am so confused

lol that doesn’t sound like a safe idea

Your ‘ scooper’ friend needs help.
That’s not a thing and will never be a thing and is not remotely safe.

Two scoops of blood makes the period go down

What is she scraping her uterus with?
After BC and before my second child, mine were about 3 days long. Has she tried...not scooping lately?

Id honestly never heard of this before but I read an article somewhere recently, I was baffled

omg guys i did not realize the outrage this would cause 😂😂

Wait till yall hear about “splinting” to help constipation

There is no way anyone is getting anything inside their cervix to scrape out their uterine lining. it’s just not possible and would be incredibly painful/major infection risk.

I’ve never heard of this, but I have endometriosis and this will not help me.

Honestly I rather just have some good orgasms and call it a day. It helps things move along a bit faster and/or helps with cramping (unless you otherwise have a condition that makes this painful). Just my personal preference.

I accidentally clicked on “yes” but no… not for me lol

Sounds dangerous

I think u have to go see ur obgyn for that but I don't think that's healthy but the proper name for this is a dnc

Gravity works just fine

This was NOT in the puberty book my mom gave me at 13

I didn't read the entire sentence 🤣🤣 I thought you were going to say Scoop out the blood clots to help yourself feel relieved

Adenomyosis here, definitely won't help and I wouldn't even like to try 🙈

A few months ago, i saw that tiktok video, where this girl was saying she scoops and that was the first time ever ive heard of people doing that. I was shocked 😐

I accidentally clicked yes too but it was a definite absolutely not lol

Erm I have never heard of anyone doing this
Completely lost my sex drive since becoming a mum. Last year we had sex once and I got pregnant 🤣.
We have 2 under 2 now.
We last had sex around 6 months ago - which induced labour 😃
I feel awful but I just never have the capacity for it, never crave it. Don't think it helps that I'm struggling with my body image.
My husband tells me constantly how beautiful I am & looks at me the same as he always has.
When we do it, its mindblowing & i think "why dont we do this more." But then I guess, life gets in the way.
I feel bad on my husband as we don't have any sexual contact but I almost feel sick at the thought of it.
It's not a reflection on him because hes fooooinnneeeee 😍 and i love him with my whole heart.
It's me thats the problem. I'm going to the gym & eating well to try lose weight. But what can I do to get it back within myself?

You can have a lovely conversation with another mum, exchange numbers and genuinely think, “I’d love to be friends with her”… then somehow life gets busy and you never actually see each other again
Sometimes I think we all want mum friends, but we’re all tired, busy and waiting for someone else to make the first move.
So I’m curious… what do you find hardest about making mum friends?
Is it approaching someone? Keeping the friendship going? Finding mums with similar interests/ages of kids? Or just finding the time to actually meet? 👀
Let’s have a real mum-to-mum chat 💕 And if you’re also looking for genuine friendships, don’t be shy — say hi, you never know who might be looking for a mum friend too 🫶🏽

Petition: Make statutory maternity pay 90% of wage for first 12 weeks & minimum wage after
We believe mothers should never be forced back to work because maternity leave is unaffordable. UK SMP is among Europe’s least generous, falling to around 41% of minimum wage after 6 weeks. The Government should fix this and give mothers 12 weeks of Statutory Maternity Pay at 90% of their salary.

How many people have asked their parents to borrow a bit of money to help in the last few months of maternity?
I’m down to £0 pay for the last 3 months and will be picking up an extra job next month but my friends suggested asking my parents to borrow a bit to help me and my parents have made me feel like this is unacceptable and I shouldn’t have asked them.

Been in the Bay for about 8 years now and STILL have no friends 💔 it’s even harder making friends now that I have two babies (almost 3 & 11months) and a SAHM. Soo… looking to make mom friends in the area and possibly start a mom group? I really would like to have a community of mom friends and get together weekly, bi-weekly, monthly… whatever it is. I just need to get out my house more! And I finally just want some friends lol.
