    It's so very nice.

    NOTE: I am 32, and I use to have a period twice a month myself, I got checked out for all possible issues, and the Dr. told me that is just the way it was going to be. So, I went for the depo shot and problem solved.


    Now, if you don't want that, go for the super-plus size, and try to carry an extra so you can change during the ride if you need to.
    Not to scare you but you should discuss the depo shot with your doctor as it causes severe bone loss.

    This is why I take calcium daily, eat yogurt, cheese... and I exercise. I also strength train, etc.

    True, my body might still have some *issues* later in life, but I am probably still better off that most women who eat unhealthy and don't exercise.
