Stp And That Time..

Kind of a gross question, but if you aren't on T yet and wish to use a STP device...what do you do when that time of the month rolls around? Do you just straw inhaler it up and run into the girl's bathroom, or extra wash the STP, or what?

On that topic, if you use the men's restroom, what do you do with the pad or what not? Do you wrap it up in toilet paper and throw it in the trash, hoping the janitor doesn't identify it?

I just want to have a plan of action for when the time comes. ^^; Sorry if this is kind of a gross topic.

aah.. the horrors of pre-T. living it out myself.

i suggest if you arent already you get aquainted with tampons... makes it easy to urine in public standing w/o the extra .."liquid" around. if you cant help having to change pad or tampon, try to find a unisex restroom.. (lucky me i have one right outside my office at work).

but might i just rant a little about how bad it SUXORS to deal with the "issue" when youre JUST dealing with the whole being a dude thing?! :mad: NOT OK!

but its alright.. not too much longer and itll be GONE! woot!

sorry..im in a bit of a silly mood... :blush:

Before T I would use the guys anyway. I used tampons and they just flush away, if i was unsure about throwing the wrapper out you can wrap it up in toilet paper and put it in your pocket until you get to a garbage you can throw it out in, buuut, if it is wrapped up already, the janitor isn't going to go digging through the garbage in the stall. And even if he did, it's his own fault haha.

And about the stp, I've never really used one, so I can't give a good answer.

I loathe tampons...and refuse to let anything go in there. Are there any other alternatives?^^

I could never use tampons either. I'm lucky, because I've only had one shot of testosterone, and this month my peroid didn't come. Trying not to get too excited, maybe it's just late, but really hoping that's the end of it.

Ok, so I adapted my own way of deeling with it. It's a bit of a mission, and probably not that nice, but then that's life. So during that time of the month I would wear two pairs of underware. Underneath womens underwear, with the pad in, and then on top my normal male underwear with the STP in like usual.

As for actually peeing, I would alway use the cubical during that time of the month. Even I wouldn't risk using the urinal on my period. Just use the STP like normal. You shouldn't get any blood on your hands if you are careful, and you can wipe off the STP with toilet paper after use, it should only be the very end you get blood on.

As for changing the pad, just wrap it up and flush it. Yeah it blocks the drains, but they arn't your drains anyway, so who cares. It's the estabishments own fault for not having transfriendly facilities. lol

Only transmen can get this excited over a missing period. XD

Thanks so much for the advice! :D And on the drain clogging: Hey, they didn't have anything telling you not to. It's not our fault if we forget. ;)

I just don't use the public bathroom when it's that time of month. I can't wait until it's gone.

Also, speaking of STP devices... my mom said she is going to buy a Mango for me!

I use tampons. If I have to change them I flush everything so there's no evidence and walk out sniffling and rubbing my nose so the people in there think I was doing drugs not using a tampon.

I know, I'm brilliant.

Personally, I find it's too messy to use my STP during that time. I just use a stall and sit down. As for how to deal with the time itself, sometimes I do use tampons, but only the type which come with plastic applicators, as actually touching anything down there makes me ill. More often I'll use pads, which I've found fit perfectly well in boxer briefs, so no women's underwear involved... Yeah, mostly I try to schedule things so I don't have to change anything in public restrooms, but if I really do have to I'll try and find a unisex room, or flush the stuff down the toilet if there's only a men's room.

Just wanted to thank you for asking this, I never thought about this possible issue and would have hated to find myself having it all of a sudden without having expected it.

      I appreciate this so much and it's one of the reasons why this community feels like home - a rare treasure among the world wide web.

      As far as things being lost on the Web, accidents happen, Just here alone, I have 20,825 posts showing in my number count, but probably only 19K of them are still actually here to view.  There was a change to a new server a number of years ago, and a segment of the data base they were in became locked and could not be transferred to the new drive in the servers we use now.  Why or how that segment of the data base became locked has not been figured out in the time since but at least we know what happened and it was not intentional or aimed at a single element of behavior here.  Data accidents happen with not one single person really responsible for them or for that matter even the computer itself.  Frustrating as all get out when it happens, but it does happen.  Some other electronics I work on as a hobby had their similar problems here a couple days ago because of the Solar Flares, and power outages or dips in voltage can make electronic life miserable.

      This is very true, Jani.  The original owner of this site, Laura, and her chief assistants, developed our community rules more than 15 years ago.  They have been modified many times, to take into account changing tastes, mores, technical issues and legal issues.  Sites such as TikTok and X didn't exist then.  Our naughty word filter, as just one example, has been modified many, many times.   On this site, as on most private sites, in order to become a member one must agree to the T's & C's and abide by, in our case, the "Community Rules."  If you seriously violate those rules your membership can be terminated.  So, yes, freedom of speech here is restricted.  Some sites are lax about enforcement, but that has never been the case here.  We guard the safety of members, and your emotional comfort, zealously.  We aren't perfect and sometimes let things get out of hand, or we go too far with restrictions, but those instances are uncommon (IMO).   Every site has different standards.  Luckily, for every interest there are numerous sites and it's usually easy to find one that fits your needs and temperament.  When it comes to the Internet, one size does not fit all.   Thanks for your question, @Ladypcnj.   Carolyn Marie

      Thanks Jani and Vidanjali, it helps me understand more.

      If I take time to type something up which I find personally important or impactful, I will first type it on a Word document or on the notes app on my phone and save it before sharing it online if the intention of the writing was to be shared in that way. Indeed, it is extremely frustrating for that sort of work to vanish when it was an emotional experience to have recounted and written it. But if it does happen, my advice would be to try to focus on having had the personal catharsis of transforming the thoughts into words. Even if the writing has vanished, your intention was acted out. You cannot control the results, whether it disappeared or not. So we can try our best to focus on gratitude for having been able to express what was expressed in the way it was expressed, rather than disappointment over it not bearing the fruit we expected it to. From a higher point of view, all things of this world are non-permanent. So when something like that happens, at best we can view it as an opportunity to practice mitigating grief over non-permanence of all things. All this is easily said - I acknowledge it is challenging. But without challenge, we do not grow.   As far as freedom of speech is concerned, my view is that implicit in freedom of speech is duty in exercising that freedom responsibly. That means applying ethics to speech. One may ask, "whose ethics?" which is a valid question. The answer is, your ethics. If you wish to participate in a community with a specific code of rules or ethics, it is up to you to use your art and skill to express yourself within that framework. Of course in certain contexts it becomes imperative to speak up, breaking the rules - blowing whistles as it were. But that likewise should be done skillfully as much as possible. If one feels unduly constrained within a community ethical framework, one may also exercise their freedom to not participate in that community. It is a balance, like anything else in life. There is no ethical framework which is ideal because this is not an ideal world. So, tldr; do your best and make good decisions.

      As a private platform the owner can limit what is said on this space.   I'm sure someone with more authority and/or insight into this issue will chime in. Jani   “A few narrow categories of speech are not protected from government restrictions. The main such categories are incitement, defamation, fraud, obscenity, child pornography, fighting words, and threats. As the Supreme Court held in Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969)   The Freedom of Speech is one of the most essential tenants of American democracy, yet that right is not absolute. The First Amendment prohibits States from passing laws that “abridge the Freedom of Speech.” Thus, because Platforms are private businesses, individuals cannot use the First Amendment to pursue recourse against censorship on a private platform.”

      I've heard of this being done.  It seems like a good idea, I mean the gas is already there.  I don't see why it couldn't be done on a larger scale.  The technology already exists.  I expect the problem would be coordinating it all, and who does that.  We're all so determined to protect our own turf, myself included.

      Good morning   my body and my mind kept waking me up saying hey aren’t you supposed to be getting up now since about 4am. I finally got up at 8:20 to get ready for my 10am shift.  I guess your wake up system gets into a habit and doesn’t like change.off tomorrow, then work Memorial day.    We got rain and a bit of thunder last night. Nothing too bad, unlike the poor people in the Midwest. They are really getting hammered with tornadoes this spring.  I suppose we’ll get ours later on.  It’s supposed to be a bad hurricane season and we haven’t had a really bad one in quite a few years.  The worst I’ve seen was a Cat 3 when the eye went right over us.     I stayed and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be but a 5? Now that’s another story.  I really don’t know how these condos will hold up to a bad hurricane.  Yes there is bracing throughout but how well was any of it installed?  Only the tradesmen plumbing electricians finish craftsmen spoke English the rest were all Hispanic and different emigrants worked together on different parts of the buildings.  One group did the framing and sheathing another different crew the roof, another the windows and so on.  Each building is 4 stories 18 units.  On the bottom we have four units with double walls but the top two are 5 each and no double walls.    @Mirrabooka I didn’t see many Reds, Roos or grasshoppers when I was in Australia.  I was mostly in Tasmania where they are mostly Wallabies.  My wife got to hold a young Tazzy Devil and a Koala Bear and I’ve held a wombat.  An emu got the best of my wife stealing all the food she had.   time to get ready for my day   Willow

      As we know online rules are usually created by a team of people, basically the guideline rules are to keep everything running smoothly, and everyone is treated equally, and most importantly the code of conduct to make sure no rules are broken. My concern is, what happens when the online community rules (in general speaking) can have an impact on the freedom of speech? Perhaps it might had been artificial intelligence, that took down a post I made on the internet, somewhere else. I know I haven't broken any rules, I was sharing a true story experience I had about online safety, so it doesn't happen to anyone else.. then the post was taken down. I felt to frustrate the time and energy I've spent typing out my experience what happened to me, and then poof it was gone  lol  What can I do about this? lol

      @Heather Shay you keep opening these cans of worms!!! 😄   I'm not a musician; I've barely strummed a guitar ever, but I LOVE music.    As far as influential voices go, I invite you to consider these homegrown guys, who continue to give me earworms.

      I've listened to this song an excessive amount of times.  I always play this when I power up a new music studio which is basically what I have going on today.

      I tend to think of most energy politics from the demand side.  It's boring to think of just the "usefulness" of food, clothing and shelter, but outside of things like this that are so basic, we are very wasteful in the pursuit of things that are not necessary.   I tend to go through phases in life every few years where I just become meditative.  You know, it's a fine thing trying to capture this methane in the landfill, but the NET gain from it must be pretty small.  There must be a massive amount of propane that is just burned in the refining of oil.  At least that is what I understand from what I've read and processed from information on the internet.  I've been thinking about how gas tanks in cars have become pressurized over the last few decades.  It probably has something to do with ethanol, right?  I had this crazy idea last year that ethanol might be made from corn cobs.  They have to do something with them.   The problem with addressing things on the demand side is the old "buy American" failure of sorts.  I think the truth is more complicated than simply calling it a failure.  The idea of a world factory with parts produced in a central location making manufacturing more practical seems reasonable.  Reducing demand for energy is a fine idea, but is there some similar logistical problem with it?  My feeling is that it would probably work with some coordination.  We did survive without all this industrialization before.  I think the most exciting part is using mountain bikes instead of horses.  @awkward-yet-sweetand I got into a thread that exposed that idea.  Oh my, I'm laughing again.  It's such a cool idea!!  Bikes are wonderful as long as they are stored indoors.

      Thanks, @Davie. I signed up. I've been a Miami Heat fan for years which already makes me love D & all the Wade family. But beyond athleticism, they are such good and inspiring people doing good and having a positive effect on culture. Bless them and their ventures.   Here's Zaya's instagram account if you want to see some of her gorgeous modeling. You do not need an instagram account to view. https://www.instagram.com/zayawade/
