Moon Cycle Post #2

OK, no one is knocking down my door and giving me these products so I guess I will go with. . . L!!!

As you see, there are Cora pads in this photo at a local grocery store. Cora pads worked ok with the Flex menstrual disc. So, I must have bad luck because every time I go online for the Ruby Love reusable menstrual underwear they are out of stock or about to go. So, I headed back to the store for something somewhat earth-friendly.
 
That, my friends, is where L came in. L. has a line of pads, tampons, and panty liners (the pantyliners are not pictured) for you to choose from. Get this, they have the same selling points as Cora products where for every box purchased one goes to a female in an underserved area. Score! But, then again, how is the product.

It comes in a sturdy bag with about 41 pads inside. More pads than the Cora pads. They are lightweight as well. This time, I took no chances and got the Super and the Overnights. This cycle has been brutal - as in it has not been this bad in 10 years!!! So, be on the lookout for some other vegan supplements as I have not posted about the ones I currently have. They are very meh, but I digress.

Since I am currently testing out the L. pads I will get to my full review of Flex and Cora products.

Flex menstrual disc is the less costly of the two main products- a disc and a cup. The cup, because it is reusable, will run around $40 which if you think about it in the long run is a pretty good deal. (The L. pads- just one box is $6 for 41 pads.) The flex disc is around $15 for 12 menstrual discs. The disc are disposable and they should only be inserted for 12 hours. If you are someone who has a standard cycle of about 5 days and you are wearing the Flex the entire moon cycle that is about 10 in a cycle. $15 every cycle just about. Plus, I bought the thin Coral because I had a feeling that the Flex was not going to "hold it all in" so to speak. It did not. Good job for Coral but I have a huge feeling that those pads would do well on my heavy days but I guess I would have to adjust and NOT get the super but maybe just the overnights.

So, Cora comes in tampons, pantyliners, pads, and menstrual cups. The pads are lightweight and I hope they are what they say they are which is all cotton but with it being so bleached I may doubt. Again, I feel like with the pads if they were a stand-alone they would not suffice. If you have a big girl Aunt Flo, do not use Cora alone. Cora is going to need a friend. Flex was Cora's buddy but even Flex couldn't do all the work alone.

So, you want my opinion?
 Flex is good if you bore some kids and have a medium flow.
 Cora is good for "free bleeding" crowd and folks with a light to medium flow (Side note- Cora also comes in period underwear. WHAAAAAATTTT!?)

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
