I try to use Clue but then I forget about it like the dumb dumb I am.
My periods have always been very regular though, so I never found it crucial to follow my cycles that much. Which in turns bite me in the ass, because while I have no pain, no discomfort while being on my period, and that besides the feeling of not being clean, it's pretty much a non event I can totally ignore, the day or two BEFORE my period starts, are usually the ones in which my mood can take a toll. Like, finding myself crying over the dumbest thing, or feeling suicidal out of nowhere, thinking my depression is making a comeback, until I inevitably realize a day later that it was just fucking PMS. And I fall into that trap EACH time, you'd think I'd learn and know it's PMS by now, but I fucking don't cause I'm dumb and don't have to care about my periods much to begin with because they're painless.
I'm using a cup from the brand of Me Luna, I have been using it for several months now and I'm absolutely happy about it. It's also fascinating to reconnect with your period blood and see it raw in the cup. I don't know, I feel more connected to my body and my period when I can see what it's producing, instead of it being absorbed and smudged by tampons or whatever. I also have a washable reusable cloth menstrual pad, but I haven't been using it much. Just the cup alone has been enough. I'm glad I finally switched to a cup a few months ago, because quite frankly, with the pandemic going on, I would have been extremely anxious over not getting the pads that I used to buy before. At least with the cup, I know I can last months/years without having to worry over it.
