We start off by very candidly running you through our experiences with the Hello Cup, before launching into all of your embarrassing (and amazing) stories. It's wild how so many of our mishaps (like accidentally putting in two tampons, or going swimming and having exploding pads) could be solved by using a period cup or hello disc! We also chat about the impact sanita...
