What makes the ob so good for you, flea? Just out of curiosity. I tried them once, and had a bitch of a time getting them in properly.

I have consistently found OBs to be the most absorbent. I get way fewer leaks with them than the few times I've tried Playtex or Tampax. I would seriously look into getting Lilletts if OB went away. I've also become weirded out by applicators, because I so rarely use them.

Snowing now - just changed from giant snowflakes to more businesslike smaller flakes.

Huh, that did not come up when I searched on o.b..

I like them because they are shorter than playtex and tampax, and I have a degree of uterine prolapse - tampax get pushed out, but the ob are pretty easy to keep in. I haven't tried the diva cup but I think it would be problematic keeping it from leaking with the way my cervix lies. I used ob long before I had kids, and have never had any trouble inserting them. I like the version they make in Europe better than the US version - I think maybe I started using them when I lived in Greece. The US kind have also recently changed for the worse - their vaunted "spiral grooves" and "smooth coating" both make them less absorbant for me. But they stay in, which I can't say for the alternatives.

Oh no! I am going to have to stock up on OB-- I can't use the others.

I have now ordered six boxes of tampon online. I did not ask for them to be gift-wrapped, although they offered. Thank you msbelle.

Whoot! My Gotham poster came. It is amazing. I hope I frame it soon.

Jesus. I just got an email telling me I'd gotten the poster. I feel creepy stalked.

Someone tell me to write my yuletide story.

Dana, go write!

I am writing instead of napping or seeing the Narnia movie. Mostly because I am too lazy to move from my futon.
