To be totally pissed off

[Pleasegodgotosleep]

First baby free night away in 2 years (only 2nd one in 4 years) and my period has arrived unexpectedly !!

So instead of enjoying the spa, hot stone massage and ahem quality time with dh I'll be dealing with cramps, bloat and tampons .

Ah well! Tell me about your hormone disasters to make me feel better

That is shit! Can you go for an indulgent afternoon tea instead?

I don't get how having your period will stop you doing any of the things you mention? Don't let that bitch Ain't Flo ruin your fun OP! 😁

You can still do all three. Admittedly it’s pain in the arse but try and enjoy your child free time!

oh just both jump in the shower together and have some messy fun ;)

oh and ive seen you can ride a bike and play tennis and stuff while using a tampon so you can do that together ( not that ive seen men riding a bike on a tampon ad, but he can try)

Yeah I would try to enjoy it anyway!

Using a tampon you can still use all the spa facilities, or the vast majority of people can. Take some painkillers for the cramps - you can take both paracetamol and ibuprofen if needs be.

Re sex, only in my late 30s did I discover that sex on your period is great! Also an orgasm is really good for cramps, as the uterus contracts or something.

Depends on your periods.

Light periods mean you can do absolutely anything with a tampon (without for sex, obviously....)

Heavy periods you can't. You could still pad up and have the massages though.

Tampon up. Period sex is great if your DP is up for that.
