S/O How could you celebrate your cycle?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
This is a spin off from my other topic, but I thought I might get more help if I reworded and renamed it.

So, how could/do you celebrate your cycle/mensuration?

I would just like some ideas for what you do.

I don't really "do" anything. Kind of the opposite, though. I treat my cycle as part of who I am and move on with life. I don't plan things around it or avoid activities or anything like that. It is a positive part of who I am and makes me a woman and I am thankful for healthy cycles. (My cycles are somewhat erratic, but I am finding more power in being thankful for healthy cycles than in discussing the idiosyncrasies and "issues" with my cycle.)

I haven't read your other topic, so I may be off the mark here....
I have found not making a big deal out of it has made it not a big deal, iykwim... It is just part of who I am and everyday life (or rather monthly life ).

I murmur 'Oh, sh*t.' Then I hide it from my 4 yr old, who is always with me when I pee and if she sees it she thinks I am dying. That's it. ;-)

But then I (sneakily) break out my nice soft cloth w/ velour lining and smile...

With lots of booze and comfort food. BUt I guess that's not the answer you were looking for

I don't really do much either. But, one thing which I do find very neat and it's always an "exciting" part of my cycle (yes, I need to get out more), is that I use the water from which my used cloth pads were soaked in to water the plants. It's good for them, and it reminds me of how the natural world is never wasteful. Everything can be used to benefit something.
