Shorter Period?
Hi all!
I'm in my first cycle with my Diva Cup and so far I absolutely love it. No more having to lug tampons around trying to find a bathroom every couple of hours. It's wonderful. I do have one question though and I couldn't seem to find the right place to look in the tags. I was wondering, is it normal for your period to be much shorter with a cup? Or am I just experiencing a really short one this time around. I usually bleed for 5 days. Today is only the 3rd day and when I checked my cup a little while ago there was just a little bit of slightly red mucous. Also, does the blood always seem more mucous-y (for lack of a better word) with a cup?
I can't decide if it's different because I'm using a cup for the first time or because I'm just having a weird period. Lol!
Thanks!
