The suction cup inside of my vagina idea totally freaks me out.
As curious as I am about the Diva Cup, I legit have a lifetime supply of free tampons. My husband works for a college rec and fitness department and a Playtex rep dropped off three giant boxes to them. Each box has 1000 sample packs of Playtex Sport with 3 in each sample pack. That is 9000 tampons. His director said no to giving them out but didn't give H any other directive on what to do with them, so he just brought them home for me. Almost five years later I'm still on the first giant box. Greatest gift a husband could give, free lifetime supply of tampons.
Expensive vet visit? Is it just today or has it been a few days? If you catch him whimpering when he pees maybe. Try adding some cran juice to his water for a few days - I know my doc reccomendations that when I had a UTI. Or he's just being a puppy lol
Our puppy had a UTI at around 6 months... He was bell trained so he was ringing the bell to go outside like every ten minutes, sometimes even sooner. He was only actually peeing like 1 out of every 6 times, but he would always hike his leg and try to go.
I wonder if your guy has one because he is newly house trained, so the urge might be hitting him and he's just not sure what to do with it. I would check and see if he has any crusties or any discharge or what not in and around his penis and then wash him up if he does. You can even trim the hair the a little bit so when he does pee it's not getting stuck in there.
Not to be an alarmist, it was just my first thought considering we went through it when we had a young puppy. It wasn't a big deal at all to take care of.
I still haven't gotten dressed yet today. So happy to have a day off. DH and I have just been lounging in bed all day. We'lol eventually go grocery shopping.
I'm excited for tonight- date night! We're going to an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant. It's all fresh and made to order. I've been craving sushi for weeks. They make some at the hospital cafeteria, but it's just eh. I cannot wait to have some good sushi.

I never wear tampons. I have worn them a few times, but hated it. I was so anxious. Is there anyone else here that hates tampons and uses a diva cup?
I think once you use the Diva Cup everyone starts hating tampons. Seriously, they suck. And it is so nice not having to remember to change the dang things as often. Freedom!! As soon as you learn how to put it in properly and the little stem isn't poking you, gotta put it in high enough. They are immensely comfortable.
And I hate pads, hate hate hate.
So there are two sizes, before and after childbirth. I have two kids but they were both c-sections so no stretching down there. I would get a before childbirth one right?

Mmmmm, sushi. I wish my DH liked sushi.
I am hoping when my brother comes home we can go get some good sushi because I have no one to eat it with regularly.

The manufacturer recommends a size 2 even if you have only had C-sections. I think it has to do with a natural widening of the hips.... they also recommend size 2 for women over thirty who have not had children for the same reason. So if you are over thirty you would also want the size 2. (I have no idea how old you are, sorry. lol)

We used to have an amazing sushi spot when I was living in Nova Scotia. Now the closest one to use is 40 minutes away and has a Chinese lanterns and a mural of the Great Wall of China inside....it sketches me out that they don't know the nationality of their own cuisine. Needless to say we did not eat and went out for crêpes instead...

Yikes. Good call.
The place we go is about and hour and a half away, but it is closer to where my sister lives. We usually went for half price sushi on Thursdays but I think they stopped doing that. So sad. We might have to find a new place that is closer to where I am.

I'm not thirty....yet. Another month to go. I don't have kids. I got Size 1. I read some of the reviews, and there are woman over 30 who have had C-sections that bought size 1 and had no problems. So I guess it really depends on each person. If you have strong muscles, 1 would prob work.
My vagina does not like things in it, so size 1 will work for me forever, until I have kids (hopefully)
Whit, you're not alone. FFC: I've never even used a tampon.
I didn't even use one properly until two years ago. I had tried when I was younger, but couldn't get it so I panicked and didn't do it until later. It's just not comfortable for me and I panic too easily.
At this point I don't think I'll try the diva cup, but I'm so glad to know all of this information. I also have a TON of pads from couponing, so I won't need to purchase another for years.
I could NOT use a tampon until I had had sex a few times, it's like once the peen was up there it finally "clicked"

Good to know... I didn't do much research other than recommendations from the manufacturer. I am sure there are lot's of differences from woman to woman.
Thanks ladies! He's still paper trained for the moment. He was really sick when we first got him and lost a third of his weight ( when you're under 3 pounds that's a lot). We haven't taken him outside yet because of the cold winter here. we're afraid the stress of the cold will cause more problems. So I'll check for crustiness like you suggested nuggetrn and keep him in a small papered area. Hopefully that reinforcement will help.
I seriously need to slow down and spell check more often. When someone quotes me and I see what I typed a second time, I'm always like, "Nacho, what the fuck are you typing?"
Ack, DH called me ten minutes ago to tell me he was on his way home. I had better get my lazy butt out of bed and get dressed so I am ready to go when he gets here!!

Really?!? I ONLY use tampons. Is it anxiety? Personal preference?
Me too. I used pads my very first period at 12 and my mother told me she wasn't going to buy me anymore after that so I learned real quick and have never used one since.

A little bit of convenience and a lot of anxiety, haha. I usually only get periods if I'm on BCP, and then my periods were super light because of the pills. I never really needed to use a tampon, because a panty liner would do the job just fine.
Before I was on BCP, my periods were so few and far in between that I never could get over my nerves to use a tampon. I was terrified of shoving things up my vagina and hurting myself, I guess. My roommates in college even locked me in the bathroom once for an hour, trying to convince me to use a tampon. I couldn't get over my anxiety to do it though.
My diva cup came yesterday... 5 hours after my last spotting from AF. I guess I have it for next AF lol. DH keeps saying ...I hope you wasted $30 and only use it for one cycle I don't have quite the optimism
