Pp periods products

What are all using for our periods after the 6 week check?

Very much a menstrual cup girly, but of course couldnt use it after pregnancy, my post partum 6 week check (8 weeks) was god awful, wasnt with a doctor, I had a nurse tick a couple of boxes, check BP and weight, get emergency contraception (oops) so I genuinely didnt get a chance to ask (so surprised at how bad it was this time compared to my first) but i genuinely cannot keep using pads, they just make me feel so uncomfortable in multiple ways, so have you ladies started using tampons, discs or cups yet?

Period panties are so much comfier than pads. Have you tried those?? I haven’t bought period products in 6yrs. I have the cup (not recommended for about 3m pp though) cloth pads and period panties and for PP bleeding I used my period panties. They just feel like normal panties, just a lil thicker. Pads are so uncomfy to me but I love my period panties

I would have to agree with the period pants! The M&S ones have been great for me. I will sometimes wear a pad for an hour or two when I get up (always a little heavier first thing - gravity!?) then I find a couple pairs of pants a day do the trick!

Is this cheating?

Me and my partner have been together for 12 years, he has been on websites to meet men in the past and I have found out etc. He swore he will never do it again, but i just had an feeling he was as we haven't been having much sex due to me struggling with my MH and our life is just a bit all over the place atm. Last time he said he just like to talk and have a bit of fun, but he has confirmed he has met men before for BJ's. So I haven't yet confronted him this time round as I have only seen the profile and nothing on it. But is this classed as cheating as its same sex but he swears he is not gay?

Sex toys

Okay I’m in a relationship but we don’t have sex as often as I want. (literally like once every 2 months lately) I want to get a toy so bad (preferably a dildo) would I be wrong to use it when he isn’t around?

Being horny while pregnant

Just curious, for those who have had multiple pregnancies, which one have you felt more horny? My first I honestly didn't want to be touched, this time around I want it all the time haha. First was a boy now a girl. Just curious

Feeling alone

Hi guys. I never thought I’d be up at midnight upset and desperately needing a friend and trying to find it online but here I am. I feel sad, alone & kind of shaken in my situation tonight :(

MA Letter and Nursery Code

Hi everyone!

I applied for maternity allowance weeks ago and I did receive a text (13th July) confirming when my first payment will be and how much. But I still haven’t received a letter with all the details? My maternity leave technically starts August 10th and I need to apply for my eldest daughter’s nursery code so she can start in September and didn’t know if there would be details on the letter I’d need for that? Thanks for any help in advance ☺️

Push present

Are you expecting a push present from your partner?

I see this so much on social media. My thought is the push present is the baby, but I'm thinking about being cheeky and asking for him to build me a build in hidden bookcase door. Bare in mind he is the least DIY savy man ever 😅🤭
