<p>No, really?</p>
<p>When you talk about burdening someone with the sight of your dick, don't just refer to straight guys who might be grossed out. You might be "burdening" (or not burdening at all) others.</p>
<p>Namaste is my hero. </p>
<p>I have a question...how do girls handle being on periods and taking showers around others? Do you take your feminine products with you into the shower stall?</p>
<p>For community showers, did some people honestly wear clothes to shower every day for the entire year? I might be slightly uncomfortable for the first 2 days, but that seems pretty extreme. I might be less body conscious than some people, but I hope I don't get a roommate who is afraid to see my skin and expects me to change under a towel or in a closet or something. Obviously, I wouldn't flaunt my body or anything, but if I'm living in a small room with someone, i probably wouldn't hide either.</p>
<p>Heh...um...this is a bit weird. I use a "cup" when I get my period. It's a reusable silicone cup that collects all the fluid. More information here: <a href="http://www.mooncup.co.uk/index.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.mooncup.co.uk/index.htm</a>
Anyway, I'm kind of wondering how I should go about cleaning it at school. I guess I could wipe it off with toilet paper, wash it in the sink, and then go back to the toilet to reinsert. I would, of course, make sure that the sink was clean after using it.
I guess my question is, would you ask questions if you saw someone washing a menstrual cup in the sink? Any other suggestions for how to deal with this?</p>
<p>eww this thread is friggin sick!!</p>
<p>Well, KarmaFairy, are your bathrooms co-ed? That'll make a pretty big difference. Check the FAQs section on the site you posted- that should answer your question for you.</p>
<p>Kenshi, while I agree that this thread is a little unorthodox, let's remember that we're all (almost) adults here...and grow up a little.</p>
<p>No, I'm going to Wells, so there'll only be about 30 guys attending (just went coed). The guys will be staying in two dorms, both of which have suites (so they'll be sharing a bathroom with their suitemates).</p>
<p>Kenshi, you should read the thread about where to masturbate, lmao.</p>
<p><sorry to="" the="" squeamish="" folks="">
Well, KarmaFairy, if I saw you washing your cup in the sink I'd feel a little better about washing mine in the sink! Actually, though, I'll probably just bring a water bottle with me into the bathroom stall and rinse it there. A more thorough cleaning in the shower once a day should be sufficient.
</sorry></p>
<p>People need to stop hating on what's natural. I think it's ridiculous how some people here don't even feel comfortable going #2 in a public restroom if someone else is in there (courtesy flushes? are you kidding me?!). some people need to grow up and get out of their kindergarten mentality.</p>
<p>Bringing a water bottle is a good idea - it'll work much better than single ply, lol.</p>
<p>Matthew, I get what you're saying. I've actually found most of this thread to be highly entertaining and informative. Flushing if you're going to be there for a while and you've already made a large...deposit would spare others a lot of odor.</p>
<p>Wow...this thread is indeed gross, lol. Anyway, that courtesy flush is a very good idea. Hell, I do it in my home just for my own well-being.</p>
<p>If you put in a tampon before you take your shower then you eliminate the menstrual blood problem. Then you won't get blood all over the showers which is gross, in my opinion.</p>
<p>This is the single most interesting thread I've read on this site. But is that really saying a lot?</p>
<p>Ha. I'm so glad I started this thread. You're welcome.</p>
<p>that mooncup dealie actually looks like a good idea!</p>
<p>An interesting one, for sure.</p>
<p>Okay the mooncup kind of weirded me out at first (just because they used the term "new moon") but I must say that's a pretty awesome invention right there!</p>
<p>And though I still have another year for college, this thread has been most useful. </p>
<p>Sorry if this has been covered:</p>
<p>Are the bathrooms, for the most part, clean? I'm kind of a germ freak when it comes to showers. Is there hair all over the place and grimey, unknown stuff on the floors? I'll definitely be investing in some flip-flops, but regardless, is a can of lysol necessary?</p>
<p>Also, are there "peak" hours for bathroom use? Are most people in there showering first thing in the morning and at night, or is it pretty steady throughout the day? Is there ever shower lines or anything? That'd be annoying to have to wait for a shower...</p>
<p>I'm used to waiting for showers...there are only 3 in most hockey locker rooms, and 20 girls who need showers before school starts (we, of course, practice before school). You learn to shower fast, at least.</p>

1.Stick your palm open under the stall wall and ask your neighbor, ''May I borrow a highlighter?''
2. ''Uh-oh, I knew I shouldn't put my lips on that.''
3. Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.
4. ''Hmmm, I've never seen that color before.''

6. Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a high place and sigh relaxingly.
7. ''Now how did that get there?''
8. ''Hummus. Reminds me of hummus.''
9. Fill up a large flask with Mountian Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbors while yelling,''Whoa! Easy boy!!''

11. Using a small squeeze tube, spread peaunt butter on a wad of toliet paper and drop under the stall wall of your neighbor. Then say,''Whoops, could you kick that back over here, please?"

<p>That mooncup thing actually does look kind of cool, but I don't know if I'm comfortable digging around in there...</p>
<p>My dorm is single-sex by entryway, but the bathrooms are only in the basement (old building) and I live on the 2nd floor. I think I'm going to just change in the bathroom (or get a really long bathrobe)</p>
