Also not shaving for nine days? I know some people like the bush, but most ladies at LEAST trim up the sides right?  And then you gotta wash in between there to make sure the hair isn't getting where it shouldn't and getting all itchy... My god. MY GOD seriously though?  I'm too paranoid of tampons being in me for more than 4 hours so I use pads/ softcups instead.    It probably had that greyish, slimy quality to it when they finally got it out.  Like a drowned vole in a backyard koi pond -dryheaves-
