Hi ladies,

Everyone here is so awesome to recommend different things and ideas...I am never embarassed though by bodily function type of things and I actually love them LOL...ok, maybe love is too strong of a word.

I had a surprise yesterday when I was at the Vans Warp Tour concert...my period started like 4-5 days early! Luckily, I found a gal who could give me one of her extra tampons. Thank goodness. I don't wear tampons unless I am riding and I have noticed the string is sooo annoying, so thanks for the person who recommended giving the string a bit of a trim.

I am lucky to only have two days of heavy flow. I have then 2-3 very light days. I am 32 so I have noticed my period has become lighter, but I know that could change. I like the idea of the Keeper, but I don't think it's for me. I like to know what my flow is doing and how much, etc. I practice fertility awareness method of birth control so I like to be in tune with my body...It's how I am, but I think the Keeper seems like a good option for many.

I will ride with a tampon when my flow is heavy but I usually don't wear anything when it's very light or scant...it does wash out well. Off the bike, I prefer pads so I know what is going on with my flow.

LOL at Veronica's Mom!

Happy Ridin',
