grrltasticI'm finding that as I age, the intensity of my flow is increasing *really* dramatically, so despite the fact that I was out of bed every two hours last night to address it, I *still* managed to get a fairly significant quantity of blood on the sheets.
Fortunately, my schedule is loose enough that I was able to take most of the morning off to do a couple loads of laundry and, in general, pay way too much attention to my crotch. So at least my bedding isn't stained, and I was able to recoup some of the sleep I missed out on due to my needy uterus.
The moral of the story is: don't let anyone convince you that a menstrual cup only ever needs to be emptied every 8 hours. Because sometimes it's more like every 45 minutes, but it still beats bleeding through a super plus tampon in 10.
