ha! i never used them for THAT purpose before! Insteads are great for if your on your period and wanna still have non messy sex... or if you just dont like tampons....

I prefer the Diva cup though.. for actually using during my period...you cant have sex with them... but they are more comfy... But thats besides the point!

Anyways! thats a neat idea! i say go for it! haha...

Im thinking I might just try it out. Why not right? It wont hurt the process. I hadnt even heard of them for periods or anything.

By the way I wanted to say I stalked your baby bump pics Em and it is beautiful

ha thats to funny i just saw the post about it last night and got on there website and read about them cuz i had never even heard of them at all i just think it would be nice for even a period, if anyone uses these do you put it in before or after sex when trying to conceive i am a little confused by all this?

Eleysia · #6 April 17th, 2008, 02:39 PM

According to the girls over there they are putting them in after sex to trap all the escapees. I dunno if it would work, or if I could make it to the bathroom in time to put it in there haha.

ya i dont' get it i think it all runs out before i make it to the toilet and i don't think the dh would much appreciate me putting it in on the bed lmao thats a funny mental picture

keekopeeko · #8 April 17th, 2008, 04:10 PM

i say.. have sex.. and pop it in while you are in bed! tell your DH that he can just roll over and go to sleep.. he wont care!

And seriously. if you like the idea of insteads for your periods check out Divacup.com... WAY better! and re-useable (sp?) so even better for the environment...

how have i not heard about any of this been using stupid tampoons this whole time!

hm i've never heard of doing that. i've heard of the cups, but only for af. i wonder if it even makes a difference. i mean, there are millions of sperm, how much of it needs to be trapped?

LindsLuvsSi · #11 April 17th, 2008, 09:11 PM

I use them!!!!! I use the Instead cups to keep the swimmies up there!! (a girl on another board got pg from doing that) I only use them when I have fertile CM. After BD, I put it in while in bed. I leave them in the drawer next to the bed. I seem to have less gushing out when I use them so I def. think they help hold them closer. (we'll see this cycle if they worked

)

akafrogs · #12 April 17th, 2008, 09:20 PM

well, I used Instead cups for AF, but I did try them a few months ago, because I didn't have time to lay around after BDing, and that's the month I had my chemical pregnancy. I don't plan on using them again, because I just feel that it gives a boost to the weaker sperm, but that's only because of my m/c experience the same month as using them.

But I did get pregnant using them.

That's the only reason I'd be afraid to use them...is in case they help out the weaker sperm. I read a review online of someone using them who got pg but then had a miscarriage. I know that's only one person though.

It *seems* like only the strong sperm would still survive because they still have to swim all the way up through the uterus and up the fallopian tube but who knows.

I may just stick to laying down for 20-30 minutes after BD.

I have heard of them for periods, but I have never used them, in fact I got sent free samples years ago and still never tried them. That is an interesting idea though

Eleysia · #15 April 18th, 2008, 08:33 AM

Hmm I never considered the weak sperm thing. I think ill pass just in case. but am thinking about them for AF now...that is after she stays away for about 1 year
