You’ve Lost that Comfy Feeling. #BringComfyBack

Okay, glad that’s over. Now that it’s just us ladies, I want to share some logic I came by recently. In fact, I thought it was so brilliant that last week, when I was in the midst of the very experience I had an aha moment over, I texted my friends about it: How is it that God designed this body that has something like 200 bones in just our ears and if one bone was slightly off we couldn’t hear, bodies that can grow babies (human babies!), brains that can do a million things at once, cells that fight off diseases and yet…once a month, I not only have to deal with bleeding, but very uncomfortable cramps.

I understand, God. I really do. I have to shed the uterine lining because I am not pregnant and therefore don’t need it to swaddle the little bugger. But really, you made oceans and mountains, and you found this to be the BEST solution? I think maybe you could have brainstormed a little bit more on the subject.

But your ways are not my ways and you know more than I do so I suppose (as if I have a choice), I will continue to deal with this once a month. Summer is bad because I have to plan my wardrobe–white pants and dresses–around it. Winter is not great either because I just want to curl up and be comfy in the bed while all types of weather attacks Chicago but I can’t. Since I added U by Kotex  Curves® Liners or U by Kotex® Lightdays® Liners to my repertoire, things have improved massively.

Still it’s hard to cuddle up in the winter because I’m not comfy. I am, in fact, uncomfortable. Am I bleeding through my panties and/or yoga pants on to my white bedding? Can I use the heat from my laptop as a warming blanket to make the cramps go away? It’s winter so I am a bear and all I want is carbs but for me, I’ve noticed that those foods make cramps worse.

And so.

And so.

I’ve lost that comfy feeling.

(That makes me think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun singing, “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” with Goose. And apparently, in Leah Remini’s upcoming tell-all book on scientology, he sang that to Katie Holmes at their wedding, which Leah and I both agree, is an odd choice for a wedding song and also a little bit egomaniacal. Man, Tom Cruise and periods, just what everyone wanted to talk about this Saturday!)

Let me get really real with you right now about my monthly drama. I sleep on a towel simply for piece of mind. Even though I wear a liner too and they are great and work, I can’t get comfy in my bed thinking of my white bedding. So yes, I sleep on a towel. And yes, I wonder what will I do when I get married?

I also either where an oversized shirt or a nightie (if you want to be classy about it). During the day, if I am working from home, you can bet I am wearing my designated period pants. If I am feeling crampy, I seriously lay down and work on my computer with it on my tummy so that the heat hits it because electric blanket? Please. I’m sleeping on a towel, people!

You know how there are some things you just buy because you always have? Well, obviously based on this post, Kotex let me try some products. You aren’t stupid. And I’ve got to say, I felt comfortable enough to wear jeans. I even wore nice underwear because I didn’t have to worry about certain issues. I could forgo yoga pants and I even wore this super pretty nightie to bed. It felt good, you guys. Or, should I say girls, because if you are a guy and still reading, you’ve got real problems.

I can’t lie though. The towel stays. It’s a comfort thing now.

Ha.

I haven’t lost that comfy feeling. Or I did. But I have it back now. Because I used to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes to check on my situation and I don’t have to do that anymore. So that comfy feeling is back and also “You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling” is now stuck in my head.

I am glad we can be real with each other. I know this made your day.

Stay comfy,
