Why it never ends

Chapter 747 Menstrual Cup

Hesta changed her shoes and began to look at Yugali's new home.

This is a one-bedroom apartment of about [-] square meters. The furnishings in the living room are very simple: a dining table, two chairs, and a single sofa. These are all standard home furnishings provided by AHgAs.

Next to the sofa, four wooden frames for storing milk were nailed together to form a simple bookshelf. A small square mat was spread on the top of the bookshelf, which served as a makeshift coffee table, with a cup filled with half a glass of water placed on top.

Eucalyptus didn't have many free books. Only the upper two floors of this bookshelf were scattered with books. Hesta took out one and flipped through it, then quickly put it back.

Hesta sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and walked to the dining table opposite.Obviously, the dining table is where Eucalyptus usually studies and prepares for exams. Her pencil case and some markers are neatly stored in a glass jar of tomato sauce. The test papers and books used for practice have been temporarily moved to the floor. One of them is a bit old. The large table lamp was moved to the windowsill.

Hesta could almost imagine how no one was being entertained here - half of the table was filled with open books, various stationery piles were scattered around Eucalyptus, the lamp was on, and the whole living room was silent, Eucalyptus A man is writing at his desk.

Looking up again, she saw four or five bouquets of dried flowers hanging upside down on the wall next to the dining table. A handwritten greeting card was pinned to the stem of one of the bouquets. Hesta took a closer look, because it was written in the southern fourteenth district language. She couldn't make out the details for the moment, and could only recognize that the signature was Yu Xuekun's name.

... It was probably when Yu Xuekun sent flowers to congratulate her on the move, and Eucalyptus quickly processed the flowers and made the best use of them to decorate the room.

Hesta's eyes dropped slightly, and she suddenly regretted buying grapes downstairs just now. In fact, she should also buy some flowers.

Not long after, Yugali's work in the kitchen ended, and dishes were served one after another. Hesta quickly discovered the source of the sweet smell just now - it was a plate of pumpkin roasted in butter.

The two sat opposite each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.When Hesta asked how to make pumpkin, Eucalyptus simply answered: Just slice the pumpkin first, then cut a piece of butter in the pot, wait until it melts, put the pumpkin slices in, fry until both sides are golden and caramelized, and then turn it out. Bake in the oven until the pumpkin is thoroughly cooked and soft.

After a few words, the table fell silent again, and the whole topic ended extremely quickly without any further details.

In the silence, Eucalyptus seemed to feel some pressure and took the initiative to joke, "...It's a pity that the pot is too small. When frying, it can only be fried in four pieces. The butter has to be added again and again, and it still costs a lot of money." Less time.”

"Do you need a cauldron?" Hesta asked immediately.

"No, no, no!" Yugali said quickly, "I can usually do it by myself."

At this point, the conversation between the two froze again.For a moment, the atmosphere was so awkward that it was almost comical, but they all laughed in unison.Yugali sighed softly and looked at Hesta, "How have you been at school recently? Is everything going well?"

Hesta replied nonchalantly: "...Except for being kicked out of the classroom by a teacher this Friday, everything else is fine."

"what?"

"Because I hung the sanitary napkins on the hook in the aisle."

Yugali was startled again, "Why do you hang the sanitary napkin there?"

"...because there's a hook there?"

Yugali put down his chopsticks, covered his face and laughed.Seeing that this topic aroused the other party's interest, Hesta told the story of that afternoon. Yugali put his face on one hand and listened carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious. "Anyway, let's wait for the results." Hesta said softly, "Everything that needs to be done has been done."

"You're not wrong..." Yugali's eyes fell on the bowls and chopsticks in front of Hesta, "But... sometimes things are like this."

"how?"

"Well..." Yugali shook his head and said with a smile, "If it were you, you would definitely be able to get a result."

Just as Hesta was thinking about what Yugali's words meant, she suddenly stood up and said, "Ah, there is something... I don't know if you have used it before."

Yugali quickly went to the bathroom, then turned back quickly. When he came back, he had two transparent bell-shaped cups made of silicone in his hand, one larger and one smaller. There was a strip of glue about two knuckles long at the bottom of the cup. They are all in unopened condition.

Hesta had a vague feeling that she had seen this thing somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.

"what is this?"

"Menstrual cup," Eucalyptus put one of them in Hesta's hand, "haven't you seen it before? I didn't know about this thing until last year... A medical team from the South Fourteenth District entered my sister's school. After collecting student data and doing a few popular sex education classes, I learned that there is such a thing as a menstrual cup in the world."

For a moment, Hesta's memory became more concrete - she must have seen it, either heard it in AHgAs's science class before and after menarche many years ago, or Liz briefly mentioned it.

"You can also prepare two to carry with you," Yugali said. "Use the smaller one at the beginning or at the end of menstruation, and use the larger one in the intervening days, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to bring sanitary napkins. I don’t know if your blood volume is high or not. If you don’t change sanitary napkins very frequently, you should be more comfortable using this one..."

As he spoke, Eucalyptus unpacked one of them and showed Hesta several folding methods of menstrual cups.

"I haven't used tampons, but I guess they are similar to tampons. After you push them into the body, as long as they are in the right position, there won't be any foreign body sensation."

Hesta took the menstrual cup and folded it like a eucalyptus.

"...Would it be troublesome to replace it?" Hesta asked.

"Are you referring to daily cleaning and disinfection? Yes, I have always wanted to try it when I was in Jiaozhishan, but it was not convenient because the public toilets there often had no water and no sinks... It was very difficult to deal with. "Trouble," Yugali said softly, "I only started using it after I arrived in Orange Town. Even if I go out, I just need to bring a bottle of purified water and a small piece of soap with me to change and clean it - the premise is that you are looking for something that is non-toxic. It would be more convenient to use handicap toilets or public toilets in better-decorated shopping malls where there is a small table for you to put things on.

"In addition to washing when changing, I will boil it in a small pot for a while every night when I get home to disinfect it. This also happens after my period. I just keep it in a ventilated and dry place."

"Then why not just use tampons?" Hestad was puzzled. "You don't have to think about cleaning at all, and it won't be as stuffy as sanitary napkins -"

"...Tampons are expensive. One box of tampons is enough for me to buy many sanitary napkins," Yugali whispered, "And a menstrual cup like this can theoretically be used for five to ten years."
