If you don’t know, this doesn’t stand for left and right. It stands for liquid and regular.

Light and regular. There is also heavy. How much they can absorb.

why would one use light or regular? are tgey cheaper or have other advantages?

There’s variation between people on how much they menstruate. Some people have very light flows, some people have very heavy flows. It also changes a bit over the course of the period - you might start out with a lighter flow, have a heavier flow in the middle, and then end with a lighter flow. You generally want to go with the lightest one you can for comfort reasons.

Yeah, but it's rarer and usually called a baby.

I know you’re joking but “solid menstruation” can actually happen and it’s called a decidual cast and it’s some brutal metal shit.

I’m glad I don’t have to worry about passing brutal metal shit out of me. For some reason tetsuo the iron man comes to mind, but instead for women.

Does it look like one of those casts made of an anthill?
That'd be brutal.

Define “solid”. It can actually be a bit chunky because of the uterine lining.

How soft? Are we talking skittle, starburst, sour patch, or jello?

No, it’s definitely liquid. I just asked my dad, brother, uncle, grandpa, and (male) friend.
