seriously, you guys...get out of here! beat it! or I'll come after you with my big stick. grrrrrr.

Anyhow, at the time of out trip next month, it will be 3 years since I've cycled. You know...THE cycle. My daughter is 2 and still nursing. So what do you want to bet that I'll finally start while I'm at Disney? I'm doomed, aren't I? Of all things, THIS is what I'm most worried about.

Do the restrooms there have vending machines just in case? Although I'm used to cloth so worried about something being uncomfortable.

Well- good luck!

Might just want to throw "something" in your purse so you don't get caught unprepared. That being said, I know there are vending machines in some bathrooms as I've used them Bring quarters!

You haven't had a visit from aunt flo in 3 years? How does that happen? or are you referring to another cycle?

Well, nursing does put it off for a while for most people, but you can still get pregnant even if you haven't had a cycle so look out! Mine took a while to come back after each baby. I nursed for about 18 months each time though, never as long as you have. My "visitor" came back after about a year each time, after the baby started eating and drinking other things and the nursing tapered off to mostly just nap and bedtimes. You must have a REALLY heavy nursing toddler!!!
As to your question, just be prepared yourself. You may not even like the products in the vending machines! You won't be the first female to have this issue at WDW though, I wouldn't be worried, not like it will ruin your trip or anything!

how nice no Grandma grumpy, Aunt Flo, or spot the dog.

I doubt you wont start if you havent yet, I guess if you dont change your routine it wont happen.

 

[LisaFB]

I did notice machines in every ladies room I went in when we were there a few weeks ago.

 

[jennifer293]

ahhhh man you are sooo lucky...3 years..I could only wish..I don't know what to tell you as far as the cycle goes I can just say I am JEALOUS!!!

I am having an endometrial ablation next Friday to try to put a stop or lessen mine!!

 

[disneyfanfamily]

3 YEARS!!! I nursed DD for 9 months, but I started after she just turned 7 WEEKS old. How did I get so lucky?????

They do have some in the bathrooms. I packed my DH camcorder bags full of quarters. I did not want to carry anything around with me. (Just weighed DH bag down full of change! )

Mine is all crazy and for the last few months has been every 3 weeks. So this month dont I get it perfectly in time that I should get it next month at Disney And sometimes theyre practically unnoticeable and some not so much but the way things are going my bagallini will be packed with nothing but tampons!

Get yourself a diva cup... slip it in your diaper bag and you will be prepared =)

 

[Beth E. (NJ)]

for the last couple of trips to WDW I've always managed to be have that lovely extra visitor. Ahh!

I've never heard of the Diva cup before. Very interesting. Not sure I'd want to have to deal with it at Disney though. Any use it?

I can TOTALLY relate!!!! I hadn't had one in about 2 years and it figured that 2 months after I stopped 'producing' I got my period just in time for a Disney trip!!!

...and now after only having two cycles I'm pregnant AGAIN!!! I'm resigned to the fact that I just won't have a period for at least the first half of my 30s!!! I LOVE IT!

 

[AngieWin]

I havent tried the Diva cup, but I have friends who swear by them.

DS1 nursed for 21 months (self weaned at 4 months pg). DS2 is nursing at 19months and both times AF came back at 5 1/2 months. Very jealous of you!!!

Ok,
I am sure I am not the only one wondering what a Diva cup is????????/

Anyway, my "freind " came along in january and she is always pretty heavy due to fibroids.

I have used the restroom machines once a long time ago and they were pretty big and not so soft. What I always buy is the Always ulta thin. They are the most comfortable I have found and take up so little room. With a three year old you will need a bag of some sort anyway. They are in fact so thin (yet they work so well) that you can stick one in the back of a jean pocket with out issue. I have used two together on really heavy days. I also took Aleve for the whole duration of the "visit". That slows down the flow and reduces any cramps etc. I also purchased two huge packs of granny, supper soft and supper cheap underwear and just tossed them after each wear. No worries about yucky underwear hanging around. I even stuck a pair in the day back, but as I said I tend to be heavy. I changed everything VERY often to avoid extra moisture and chaffing. Sounds like a lot of trouble but it really turned out fine!!!

Enjoy the trip and congratulations on nursing your little one so long.

I knew there were other amitymamas over here but I never run into them like this! (nutty)

there is also the keeper. i think one is made of silicone and one of rubber, but not 100% certain.

eta forgot link duh www.divacup.com

 

[carmiedog]

Oh, and I think my cycle may still be delayed after so long because not only am I still nursing my daughter, but also Pooh Bear, Elmo, Curious George, and countless other dolls and teddy bears all day!

Its super small and latex so it takes up no room at all

You can practice using it before having your cycle so you cna be ready to go when the time arrives. It comes with a little drawstring bag to carry in your purse or diaper bag

I love mine

I got my PPAF 6 months PP each time. And then got preg at 10 & 10 1/2 months PP each time I'd prefer to bring my own though instead of carrying a ton of quarters. I have a preferrence in the pad/tampon areas

I would love to see the face on security (at WDW) while checking that bag (BTW, I never heard of these before but I just checked the website - interesting)
