Cosplaying + period

[Anonymous No.7398583]

How do you get through cosplaying at a con during +12 hours whilst having your period?

My cosplay is an armor with a skin-tight bodysuit under it and some pieces require the help of another person to get them on, so going to the bathroom every couple of hours to change my tampon/pad is something I definitively want to avoid. Plus, this Con's bathrooms are always disgusting, I don't want to get my cosplay dirty or wet.

Anything I can do?

I am taking birth-control pills (using them 'cause of polycystic ovary syndrome, not as a contraceptive, long story) Is there anyway I can play arround with them so I avoid getting my period during the Con?

[Anonymous No.7398585]

I double up on my pills all the time. When I go on vacation or something. Just keep taking the regular pills and skip over the placebo ones.

There's also the DivaCup if you would rather not self medicate like that. They supposedly protect for up to 12 hours leak free guaranteed.

[Anonymous No.7398586]

>every couple of hours
Exactly how much do you bleed?

Invest in a menstrual cup and a panty liner. You can try not taking your placebos and continuing on the next batch uninterrupted will halt your period, but I note this doesn't work for most women.

This is the best way to do it. If you just skip the placebo pills you won't get your period.

I just wonder, are you all from the US and doesn't it says on the pills for you that this is a perfectly fine way skip your period? At least in my country this is said in the instructions for every hormone based birth control pills, and it's not dangerous in any way if you don't do it for more than three charts in a row.

The hormones in birth control pills trick your pituitary glad into thinking you're pregnant, so you don't release an egg anyway. The bleeding is just withdrawl bleeding.

Women who have been on the pill for a long time can take months to release an egg and be fertile again, sometimes they even need to take pills to "restart" the process.

The hormones don't get your ovaries to make an egg, that's the point. Birth-control pills make your body beilive you're already pregnant so he don't have to continue he's usual hormone cycle. As long as you keep taking it, your cycle is blocked. Plus, if you have a PCOS, you mcan just stop pills for few month and you'll be in amenorrhoea. Works for me.

Some of those companies are also getting sued for severely fucking with women's hormones and fertility.

Honestly op, just get over it and use tampons. Messing with birth control dosage without consulting a professional is a bad idea, especially if you're sexually active or particularly sensitive to hormone changes. You can get away with changing a tampon once/5 hours with a moderate flow, and chances are, if you're staying as hydrated as you should be at a con, you'll have to pee that frequently anyway. You're supposed to wash out a cup every few hours, and if you're not 100% how to use it, you could leak blood all over your precious cosplay. Just. Use common sense and use a tampon.

Are its imitations just as good? Only thing I can find in my country is this Luna Cup which is the same thing really, but cheaper.

[Anonymous No.7398638]

For me it's usually a super absorbent tampon + a panty liner just in case. Plus an extra tampon somewhere in my bag (I only need to change it every 6-8 hours, so maybe once during the con).
My periods are super unpredictable. Sometimes I have heavy flows with moderate pain, and other times there's barely any blood.
Despite that, I've never had an issue with my tampon/liner combo.

I was also on depo on and off for a number of years.
My mother forced me to go on it when I was 15 after she found out I had sex with my ex, but from 15-18 I have no period ever. Then I went on it again briefly from 20-21, but I stopped after my doctor advised me about the weight gain (it's been proven to cause 10% bf gain in women) saying that another patient gained 80 pounds from it. Plus the black box effect that decreases your bone density over time even when you stop getting it. It's nice to not get a period, but the effects from this bc are so awful....would not recommend.

[Anonymous No.7398639]

>>7398634
I've recently switched to a 3 month cycle of BC for health reasons (severe endo) but before that I used the Diva cup for periods because I thought I might be allergic to tampons (painful whenever I used them). Any imitation will usually work as good, the difference between them is the length and circumference of the top of the cup. If you're familiar with your body there are lots of helpful menstrual cup charts to show the differences. Diva cup was just the easiest for me to get but I've heard good things about Luna too :)
Hope that helps.

Unless you have some way of magically not needing to go to the bathroom for 12 hours, why not just double up with cup/super tampon + pad/liner and just change it when you do have to go to the bathroom?
I'm one of the lucky ones that has B-Yaz bcp and it completely halted my periods in case that may work for you or someone else reading. I have heard that many brides skip their placebo pills to avoid having their period on their honeymoon so that is not uncommon. How well it works depends on the pill type you are taking.

My endo is currently at a stage where it's affecting more than just my ovaries but my entire digestive system up into my stomach area, so if you know anything about the disease it's uterine lining cells growing on other organs, and when it comes time to shed they are EXTREMELY painful! I've had increasing pain since I was 12 but now at 20 I have several days, not only during my period but before and after where I cannot get out of bed due to heavy pain/nausea, and I'm taking heavy dosage anti-inflammatory drugs to keep it from being unbearable. Problem is they eat into my stomach lining and give me ulcers so I get nauseous and vomit a lot. Being on a 3 month cycle means I only get 4 periods a year, but taking it longer than 3 months rotations is very dangerous (can cause major blood clots). I would take Depo for the longer term effects but like another person said the side effects are awful, and I'm extremely sensitive (can't take it out once it's in) and I'm not exactly ready to surgically remove my ovaries. :(

I've done this before (not recommended if you're using it for contraceptive purposes, but then again I'm not pregnant) where I skip a day by accident and take only 1 pill the next day. This delays my period by a day or two, and since I'm not ovulating that late in the cycle I'm sure it's all right. I restart 7 days from the last pill so push your restart day 1 day back.

If you skip the placebos DO NOT GO BACK TO TAKING THEM. Skip them means skip them! Stay regular with the week you are on and read the packaging in your BC box if you are unsure. Take all 3 weeks of your first month, toss the placebos and start the next month like you are starting a new month normally. Do not take the sugar pills or you will mess up your bodies hormone levels and have likely breakthrough bleeding.

[Anonymous No.7398702]

my gynecologist told me about this once. Do you knkw why you have four days where you don't take pills? Is to allow your body to get you trough your period. If you want to avoid it just keep taking the pills.

Even with birth control that completely stops your period it takes a few months for your body to adjust. If you're on a pill that has a placebo week you can try and skip the placebos and go straight to a new pack, but aside from that it's probably still gonna happen.

Found out they lied to me about sending off referrals and stuff :( Got it all sorted but I am very distrusting of doctors now. My Gyno said doing the surgery for adhesion/nodule removal was more of a last resort because the risk of it coming back after 2 years was extremely high. Are you at the state where you can't have kids then?

[Anonymous No.7398738]

To avoid getting my period when I was on holiday with my boyfriend, I took my week off the pill early (so I had two weeks on instead of three that time), in order to trigger my period a week earlier. Provided you have enough time for this, one week less might be preferable to having one week extra, although I think it's safe. I didn't skip the week off not because I was afraid of hormone stuff but because apparently you may still get spotting during the fourth week.

This is probably bad, but if I know in advance that my period will come about during a convention, I''ll fast for about a week and exercise a lot. That will push my period back a week or two.

Endo come back in 2-3 years if you don't block your cycle. That is why you NEED to block your cycle, until the day you want to procreate.

A year after my first operation, we decided my husband and I to give a try. We already knew it might be difficult so we tried few month by our own, but we didn't wait too long before consult. Considering my history, we went directly to IVF, which is fortunately 100% free of charge in my country. We did two tries, each time with very good fecondation result, but once embryos are transfered, they never implant. Successive treatments stimulated the endo to come back, so i had have a second operation. Now we decided to have a break to focus on other life projects and take rest, physically and morally. We will possibly go back to it in few months.

That's unfortunate to hear. I'm still at a young age so I'm nowhere near ready to make any choices, but IVF isn't fully free here, it's still around 10k~ per attempt to my knowledge which is a lot of money to put on a chance. Good to hear another person's input on it though thanks.

But you should just tell someone that they shouldn't try it at all then, because as you said, everyone reacts diffeerntly. It could be the saving grace for anon but you're telling her it's definitely going to be terrible.

It won't definitely be terrible. Anon is already facing all kinds of problems and is already on birth control. If another method works better, it'll be a good thing for her. If it happens to not work out, boo hoo, switch back to whatever.

I decided on depo to stop my period completely because those intense abdominal cramps to the point where you just don't want to eat were a regular thing for me, along with my body forcibly ejecting anything I did manage to eat in one way or another.

What I'm saying is that you shouldn't tell a person to never try a certain medicine because it didn't work for /you/. It works great for a LOT of people. Unless there's some medical reason why gaining a few pounds (the most common side effect behind stopping your period) would be devastating, there's really no reason not to give it a try if it seems like it'd work for you.

Actually, some people can't go down an absorbency without a disaster. I can wear a 'super' absorbency tampon for 8 hours, but I can only wear the 'regular' absorbency one for 2 hours at the most. This is also the case for some other girls I know. I just do not have time in my day to change a tampon every 2 hours, so I wear the 'super' ones. They aren't hurting me.

Plus, I'm not going to change a tampon every 4 hours. I'm a poorfag and I can't blow the money each month on two boxes of tampons so I can constantly change them. Wearing them for 6-8 hours has been fine for me for years. It's not a matter of laziness, it's a money thing.

you really shouldn't be strongly advocating for anything that needs to be discussed with a physician before use, because everyone reacts to medicine and hormone supplements differently. the US wouldn't have so many people on the wrong medications if it weren't for all the advertisements compelling them to go in and ask for a product instead of having a from-scratch consultation about symptoms.

Kind of like surgeon general warnings on cigarette boxes. Can bad side effects necessarily happen to you if you smoke? No, but are they likely to with prolonged use? Fuck yeah.
>>While it has long been known that Depo-Provera causes bone loss, it has recently been discovered that the osteoporotic effects of the injection grow worse the longer Depo-Provera is administered, may remain long after the injections are stopped, and may be irreversible. For these reasons, on November 17, 2004 the United States Food and Drug Administration and Pfizer agreed to put a black box warning on Depo-Provera's label.

All of a medications side effects MUST be listed either on the box or on paperwork inside the box.

Black box warnings are usually the "rare but serious side effects" talked about in medication commercials. Yeah they're pretty awful, but they're not all that common. They don't happen that often, but when they do happen they're pretty fucking bad.

Just like how Zoloft can increase thoughts of suicide in depressed people, so it's a black box warning, but it helps a hell of a lot more people than it causes suicidal thoughts in.

Not to mention, for me at least, there weren't any better options. I went on depo because my periods made me unable to function, and it stops them completely, without risk of me forgetting to take a pill and fucking myself over.

As an added bonus, they actually know who the fuck you are and what problems you may or may not have with different methods. You don't just want to flail around medicating yourself.

You could just end up getting your period anyway and screwing up your birth control; you could have an emotional reaction to the hormones and be a sobbing, raging mess for the con; if you are really unlucky or real fuck up, you could end up with a period from Hell with intense bleeding that last days and days, or (as a completely, utterly, worse-case scenario) hurt yourself and end up with a blot clot.

Talk to a medical professional. Since you already have a prescription you might just be able to consult over the phone with a nurse, doctor, or pharmacist.

This x1000.
I had to travel two hours away from my local obgyn just to find someone who would be willing to administer a copper IUD or an insert like Implanon.
All of the obgyns around here kept pushing the pills, patches, and shots onto me even though I specifically declined those options. Docs have agendas, and sometimes they don't mind putting you at a bit of risk if it means they make a profit.

So I just stumbled here from /r9k/ and I have to say you girls are goddamn disgusting.

Almost makes me appreciate the fact that I've never even kissed a girl. Almost.

Carry on.

>They administer the shot for free.
I don't pay out of pocket either, but they bill my insurance. They make money even if it doesn't come from me, and unless you live in a place where they have socialized medicine they are making a profit from someone for their services.
Unless this is a free clinic you're referring to, in which case, lucky you that you have this option available.
>talked about in medication commercials
And you believe those commercials when they say "rare" side effects? Show me a source that says the black box effect is this "rare."

I'm glad that the shot is working out for you because of -your- specific circumstances concerning your period. But that doesn't make this shot safe or ethical.

Then the logical choice for you then is to never consort with women. See you at Pride Parade! We welcome and love our fabulous brethren.

You can but that's digusting. Not a lot of people do, and those who do are nasty to have cotton shoved up their vag for eight hours.
