I think my mom is kinda weird...
I just suggested to my mom that maybe I should start using menstrual cups. I have really bad period cramps and I read online that it could help. Then she started spouting bullshit about how I haven't even had a kid yet, that it would basically be like masturbating, that I was still unmarried with no boyfriend, etc. etc. She also compared pulling out a menstrual cup to giving birth like wtf... And when I said I didn't want to have kids anyway she screamed at me that I should just cut out my uterus then (I do plan to have a hysterectomy when I can tho lol). Anyways is anybody else's parents like this??? For reference my family is Chinese and Christian-ish so maybe purity culture shit. ╥﹏╥

Talk to her calmly if you can (doesn't seem like she's the type to stay calm tho after I read this). Go ahead and buy a menstrual cup anyway, who's stopping you? 1 reply

I tried asking for tampons one time, because I felt as if my period was heavy for pads. She literally FREAKED on me, asking if I was meeting with someone behind her back or if I'm talk...... 1 reply

Are you taking ibuprofen AKA advil for cramps? That medication is by far the most effective for me. It's an N SAID an anti inflammatory. It can be hard on the liver and kidney, and you should eat something with it. If your period cramps don't get better with medication, I would recommend seeing a doctor. Also your mom should be providing you with ...... 1 reply
