1) Participation trophies are stupid.
2) Glitter is the best crafting material.  
3) Natural casing, all beef hotdogs are the best hotdogs.  (I don't care if they're terrible for you, full of disgusting bits, and made out of intestines.  They are delicious.)
4) Also, horseradish anything is disgusting.

@lurvleybunchococonuts 110% agree with 1 and 4. I have no opinion on 2 and 3

brookepdavis

@lurvleybunchococonuts I agree on all counts! The only thing I craved during my last pregnancy was hot dogs. I tried to eat them in moderation, but it's all I wanted all the time.

I don't like the comedy movies that try too hard to be funny. Napoleon Dynamite, Super Bad, Hot Tub Time Machine, etc. I think they are dumb and I refuse to watch them.

catlady2015

Salads shouldn't have dressing. I think they're all pretty disgusting.

Tampons are superior to pads.  I feel like I’m wallering in my own filth when I use just pads. However, sometimes tampons are not an option

@catlady2015 Ranch is amazing (oh lawdy- hopefully Ranch lady doesn’t come bombard this thread ) 

@lurvleybunchococonuts  All beef hotdogs, glitter, and no participation trophies for the win. 

@acciocoffee Much agreed. I also didn’t care for Thor Ragnarock bc is too much forced humor. 

catlady2015

@jrm_14 - omg. i hate pads with a vengeance. 

kristah2

@jrm_14 - tampon lovers unite! Pads feel like you're wearing a diaper. 

CraftyG

@jrm_14 @kristah2 I used to be a tampon lover until i tried a mooncup and now i'm converted! Once you can get over the fact that you have a cup up your vagina it's great

1.  Boomerang videos are obnoxious and I hate them. 
2.  Snapchat filters, especially the animal ones, are dumb.  It’s even worse when you make it your profile picture.  
3.  It annoys me when people don’t change their default Bump avatar.  

jrm_14

@kristah2 Oddly, very oddly, when I have to wear pads, I almost prefer thicker ones so that I can be reassured they are there. Idk why I have a fear of the pad falling off

eleven_

@coco2787 I 100% agree with everything you said. When people don't change their bump avatar, it takes a lot longer for me to remember who they are. 

I think liking tampons over pads is a popular opinion. I honestly have never heard of anyone that likes pads. 

jrm_14

@eleven_ I know multiple people IRL that only use pads, per preference.  

PensiveCrayon

Menstrual cups trump all. And @coco2787 I’m with you on Boomerang. They just make me feel weird and I don’t know why. 

Dilynne

I think the fact that the Kardashians are famous for being famous is ridiculous.Aslo I can’t name all of them. 

flyingmombula

You guys. I tried a menstrual cup a couple years ago and it got stuck. For like 3 DAYS. I was at the point of asking my sister to help me get it out. For the life of me I could not get it to budge (even tried using tweezers)!  Finally, on the last try before she was going to help me I got it out. Awful. It was the diva cup. Never again. I agree tampons are better, but thick cushy pads are better than flimsy ones!

my UO is that Nutella is gross. 

josie12367

I'm a pads girl! I'll never use a tampon again. Ever...

jrm_14

@josie12367 Own it, girl. No judgement here. 

@flyingmombula You are WRONG. 

coco2787

@flyingmombula a friend of mine had a similar incident with a menstrual cup.  Her husband ended up having to help her get it out and he was pretty traumatized by the experience 

@PensiveCrayon that’s a perfect description, I’m not sure why exactly they bother me so much, but they definitely make me feel weird. 

Augusta108

I’m Team Pads as well, in large part because I have never been able to get a tampon to fit comfortably. I actually learned during IF testing that this is likely because of my retroverted uterus, which was kind of a relief after years spent wondering why I couldn’t manage something so seemingly simple! 

I am am jealous of all you tampon wearers, though...in theory tampons do seem preferable. 

offtoneverland

@lurvleybunchococonuts Yass to glitter! And a big nope to horseradish. 
@catlady2015 I can only eat salad if it's doused in dressing. Which is why I don't eat it very often because it defeats the purpose of an otherwise healthy meal.
@coco2787 I despise Snapchat filters as well.
@ everyone else - I'm team tampon too. I tried a diva cup years ago but I had to clean it out numerous times a day because of my heavy periods and it was like a murder scene in the bathroom. 

1) I love mayo.
2) I don't care at all about my genealogy. 
ETA fix typos.

holly321

@josie12367, I prefer pads.  I always feel like tampons are never enough and uncomfortable. And honestly, I don't think they are uncomfortable. Expect made some of the super jumbo type I was forced to wear a few months ago.  

@Augusta108, I find the retroverted uterus tampon issue interesting.  I have a retroverted uterus now, but didn't think I used to, so I wonder if I have always had one and that is the issue.  I haven't tried a tampon other than to swim in years. 

I am interested in trying a cup, by plan to with until after hopefully one day having a baby.  I don't see the point now, since I haven't had a period since June and don't really forsee many in my future.


@offtoneverland, I am semicurious about ym genealogy.  As far as I know, I am mainly German, with some English and like barely any native American.  Yet, on at least 2 occasions, people have assumed I have partial Asian heritage, which seems odd to me, and I am curious.
@flyingmombula , the idea of Nutella is good.  I love hazelnut and chocolate, but it is sickeningly sweet and odd textured.
@acciocoffee , I hate those types of movies too.  Honestly, I haven't seen most on the list you named.  My husband watches hot tub time machine every single time he sees it on TV, and I think of it now every time I hear "home sweet home."
@lurvleybunchococonuts, horseradish is amazing and those kind of hot dogs are nasty! Otherwise, I agree with your other statements.
@coco2787 , I don't know what a boomerang videos are, that makes me feel old.  I think Snapchat is stupid, and I no longer have any idea how to change my avatar, but agree you don't stand out if you keep the basic one.
@jrm_14 , ranch is the best.

jrm_14

@augusta108 @holly321 Interesting- I also have a retroverted uterus. RE say it’s another variation of normal like a longer second toe.  I have a very specific set of tampons I like for comfort. I wonder if this is why!  Pads aren’t necessarily uncomfortable- I just don’t feel as clean using only pads!  

dreamscapes_

I'm Team Pads myself. Unfortunately, with the way I'm shaped, tampons have gotten difficult to place when I'm in a public restroom and don't have the room to contort myself. I also bleed heavily lately for some reason, so I'd be doubled up anyway.

cdepperschmidt

I used to be a staunch member of team tampons, but I had some issues down there over the summer and now I have become a member of team PADS.

PensiveCrayon

Add me to team retro uterus! And I’m really sorry for everyone who’s had cup problems, man. That stinks. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences, minus a little leakage because of aforementioned ute. But I just counteract that by wearing a liner with it. 

I’ve always wanted to try period panties! I had two pairs of Dear Kates but those are mostly for catching leaks. My sister has tried the Thinx brand and loves them.
