    Question Sea sponges in a hurry

    So I have this huge date weekend planned with my SO, and I thought I'd scheduled my birth control perfectly so as to get my period during the week and be done with it by now. Naturally my body said "fuck you" and now I'm just starting my period tonight. Now, even if it's lighter by the weekend, it still won't be over

    I did some searching on here and it seems like you can still have sex on your period if you use the sea sponge things. But they'll hardly arrive in time if I order them online now. Is there any other type of sponge you can buy in regular stores, and cut to the right shape etc? And for those who have used them before, do they take some getting used to, or could I just jump right in and start using them for my period and sexy times right away?

    I get mine from an art store -- it was the only place in town I could find natural, unbleached sea sponges. I've been using them for the last two months and had no problems. Might be your best bet.

    Edit: As far as getting used to them, if you're used to cutting the strings off your tampons for work it won't be a problem for you. You do have to sort of fish them back out. But they work great, are totally comfortable, and I had no issue having sex with one in -- just be careful about getting it shoved up too far, or maybe think about sewing a short string on it?

    ^ yeah, in a pinch I've had to use the artificial sea sponges which I don't recommend because of the chemicals, but hey, I was desperate. I have gotten the natural ones from the health food store, and boiled it and I think used vinegar on it and rinsed it out before using it.

    Oh this is an area I know all too well. I live in Canada so for us we can buy them at Shopper's Drug Mart (they are right under the fake eyelashes). If you're familiar with the makeup line Quo, they make them actually (I believe for removing makeup). So if you can find a drugstore that sells Quo then they should have them.

    They are all different shapes and it won't matter if which one you choose because once you get it out of the package, before you insert it, you have to get it a little wet then wring it out. Then it will just conform to your body shape inside.

    They are really reliable (NOTHING will come out while you have sex so rest assured) however as others have said you will have trouble getting it out after. You might have to fish around, squeeze your muscles or worst case scenario you have to wait a bit but it will most definitely come down, it has nowhere to go. I'm not gonna lie, taking it out is kinda gross but you'll be fine.

    You won't feel them and your partner won't either. Hope that helps!

    Sorry and just to clarify, although the Quo brand does carry them, they ARE the natural Sea Sponge. It's not like a makeup remover pad or anything.

    They are SUCH A PAIN to get out after sex. But can be done.

    I don't recommend them for work, or at least wearing them for several hours, they're not as absorbent as tampons.

    ^I find them more absorbent actually, or should I say, better at not leaking.

    As far as getting them out, you just have to keep squatting and pushing in the bathtub and fish it out when it's really deep up there.

    I was in a pinch just like you were and bought a natural one from CVS that was made to be used in the shower as a lufa. I just cut it to size (a little bigger than you would think you need because it does conform ). But anyways, I tried it out before my date just to make sure it would come out. I have a pretty tight hoo hoo so I PANIC'D when I couldnt get it out. It took like a half hour and help from a friend until I finally got it out. I know I probably blew up the whole ordeal but I couldnt imagine what would have happened if I had had sex with it in and it got pushed up even farther. I havent had kids and my finger is only so long lol. So, im sure it works well for other people, but like others have said - they can be a pain in the ass to get out.

    I get mine from Whole Foods. Most health food stores carry them if they carry bath things. The art store is a wonderful idea. Go through the phone book and call before you go. It might save some time. Do people still use phone books?

    I actually went to the craft store (Micheal's) They have them in the painting isle. sometimes they are used in painting for a textured finish. as far as I know they are natural, pure sea sponges. They weren't too costly and I actually got a bag of ones that were cut and shaped a little bigger than golf ball size. I just sterilized them in a solution of tea tree oil (just a little) and water. I rise them out and use them, then sterilize them after use. The bag of them wasn't too expensive, so i replace them every other cycle.

    ^ good idea.

    As far as the after sex idea, after sex your vagina would hopefully be more relaxed.
    Otherwise you could always masturbate, and your vaginal muscles should be relaxed after an orgasm if you're REALLY trying to get it out and it's not coming out

    I LOVE Softcup. I got it at my local Target, actually. They sell them commonly at Walgreens and stuff. So then you won't have to worry about an online shipment.

    @SweetPinkCupcake

    I've never heard of Soft Cup. Is it like a Diva Cup? It looks a little more comfortable. Can you have sex with one in?
