Dear posters in large community I read every day:
Saying "I googled and didn't have a lot of luck" is helpful, but not as helpful as ACTUALLY TRYING TO SEARCH FOR IT. In fact, most recent dear poster, had you put in the phrase in your post that started with the words "how to," plus the name of the activity about which you were posting, you would've got the page I linked in my reply, which I hope is very helpful to you.
I think people have learned to repeat "I looked, but I couldn't find it" without actually looking. Grar. [ETA: she clarified that she was looking for a more specific technique than the general one-- and someone else chimed in and she got her answer. yay!]
So I was in IMs with the inestimable![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bikergeek discussing going to the airport while on the rag...
him: oh, that's right, you use one of those cup thingies. [ETA: one of these cup thingies.]
me: yeah.
me: saved my sanity, I promise.
him: hopefully the TSA doesn't decide it's some sort of terrorist weapon
me: heh. not likely.
him: you never know. :-)
me: if they're searching my body cavities, then we have issues anyways.
me: mostly that I would stay TOTALLY silent until I had to giggle myself silly over someone getting the unexpected surprise imminent upon removing a non-absorbent menstrual device...
him: hahahaha
him: yup, just what I was thinking.
him: "what's...OMFG EWWWWW!!!!!"
me: there's a sound effect in the middle of that, too.
him: *shplork*
me: it's a sound like the failure of a suction cup that's the only thing holding a large, saturated mop about 3' above a tile floor.
[snipped]
me: and remember, this is the method I prefer because it's MUCH LESS GROSS than the alternative!
