ok so here is my deal.... my period started sunday, so in all theory i should be done by friday, when i am going to see the boy. i haven't seen him in a while so i am planning some good quality naked time. but here is the thing, if i am bleeding at all on friday it should only be spotting, but iam still uncomfy with the idea of sex while spotting. do you think there is anyway i could maybe, douche the rest out, like maybe thursday night or something. or am i totally off? any imput you fine ladies have will be greatly appreciated.

when im horny or turned on, my period seems to kind of disappear for while. have you talked to him about sex while still spotting? how does he feel about it...maybe he can help ease your anxieties about it. but douching from what i know is never a good idea, it takes away all the healthy bacteria and stuff. so i would say no to the douching.

I'd have to second that opinion about douching. Bad news, the douching is.

thank you master yoda (sorry hun couldnt resist)

There isn't any way to make your period go away if you still have it on friday. If its your last day on your period there should be hardly any blood. On my last day i usually have some brownish looking discharge, but no blood. If you're really grossed out, you could consider buying some insteads and using those, since those can be used during sex, safely.

I'd just go along and have sex while spotting. It's really not all that gross, and if it really bothers you, keep some paper towels handy. Sorry-- obviously not the best advice, but after spotting continuously for a month while on BC, I have become unphased by gettin' it on with a little spotting here and there still present. :P

do you guys use condoms? If you do, then really, it's not that bad, it won't get on his penis that way and if you want to clean up afterwards, you can take a nice long hot shower together :)

If you still think there will be a good amount of blood, put down a towel (either dark colored so blood won't show, or white so you can bleach it).

I just recently had sex on the last day of my period (we do it occationally), and everything was alright w/ the condom.

Also don't ever douche. It's a really bad idea and will NOT stop you from bleeding or get the blood out of there, because it doesn't even get up to where the blood is coming from, so it's impossible.

Being near the end of my period has never slowed my boyfriend down. Once he wanted to touch me there, but he checked with me first incase *I* might be embarassed. Both of us understood that it might get messy, but I was surprised that there was no trace of blood on his hands when we were through.

put down a towel. sex on the last day of your period should not be very messy. my own experience: not using condoms the ejaculate dilutes the rest of blood/uterine lining that it didn't even stain the towel and i could catch it with a handkerchief.

You could try Instead cups (www.softcup.com - they're available at CVS and I think Walgreens too) if you're desperate.

But really, spotting (or even sex with any light flow) is not a big deal at all. I recently spotted for a month and a half after getting my IUD, and there was sex aplenty with no problem. If you're concerned about a mess, have a box of tissues or baby wipes handy and lay down a towel. But yeah, douching is just bad for you and it wouldn't do anything anyway, since the blood is coming from your uterus, and the douche doesn't - and shouldn't - reach there. :)
