I TRIED SEA SPONGE TAMPONS *WARNING REAL BLOOD* | ITSJUSTKELLI

[@igeorgoudi]

I do not understand how seeing blood in horror movies is acceptable and period blood is not. That what I love about your videos, that you make others feel less gross in their periods ^^

[@elizabethprouddolllover641]

I get confused when women do a vaginal birth and hate seeing their blood. What do they do, make the nurses give the baby a bath before they touch the poor thing😂

[@Username0029]

I think her showing it is fine, and shouldnt cause an uproar, I am not really squeamish, but for me seeing blood in a movie, is different because I know it's not real, but when I know it's actually real, something about it makes me VERY squaemish lol

[@candycone5195]

Ro Nab yeah I get that, but it’s not like that but comes from a cut or a wound... that makes me sooooo squeamish like ugh I can’t BUT that blood does nothing cause I know that I’m not hurt or in a health risk

[@gressisterpin7250]

It’s fine but it’s just real blood that comes from her v

[@pixiepqueen]

Elizabeth Butterscotch babies generally aren’t that bloody after birth. They are covered in a fatty substance that protected their skin in the womb. The blood doesn’t really stick too well to that. They give your baby a bit of a wipe and they look fine.

[@mellylavi]

i love how you're not even phased anymore by showing us your blood! :)

[@ItsJustKelli]

lol I've officially become a crazy lady :)

[@marli8907]

No. It's not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of people find when they start using natural products without all the chemicals...a lot of people see a lighter, less crampy period. I mean, still share with your doctor. But no, it's definitely not a "bad" thing if the period becomes lighter and shorter.

[@DW-kg1rf]

Some people have a reaction to the chemicals in disposable tampons, and this can cause them to bleed more profusely.

[@MsPickles333]

I was excited to try theses until I read did further research. They do contain sand, mold, and bacteria and are not safe for putting up your lovely parts . Darn it :/

[@d.w.researchchannel2889]

I, too read that article and I, too FREAKED (the utter heck!) OUT! Until I realized: That the study that "proves" that Sea Sponges are "unsanitary" tested only 12 sea sponges, and found: only ONE to have dirt, mold, bacteria, sand... Yeah! Just one and the study NEVER says out of those 12 sponges tested where they come from Before this testing. Did they test sponges straight out of the ocean? Because those need to be disinfected before use. Did they test Sea Sponges that were properly cared for? Mostly what I think is that Anything can be dangerous. Especially IF it is not properly cared for. Heck, water is good for a person, but a person can die from a water overdose! So I just think that these scare articles are missing crucial information so that their Reader's may make a truly Informed Choice. Most people get their sponges and even if the Sea Sponges have been disinfected or (even bleached paler) the new Owner goes and disinfects them yet again by boiling them and treating them with Tea Tree Oil, Hydrogen Peroxide, and/ or white vinegar. I know a lady that does ALL of these! She understands that boiling reduces the life of the Sea Sponges, but she would rather Be Safe, than Sorry. And she keeps very good track of the age, as well as Condition of her Sponges. One thing I will be doing is having ALL the disinfection tools on hand (3% hydrogen peroxide, tea tree oil, as well as white vinegar --- both which are a natural way to disinfect lady items.) so that when I use my Sponge I can trade the "used" one for a completely disinfected one. Also I will be keeping a Record of when each Sea Sponge was bought, how many times it has been used as well as any times I was foolishly tempted to just reuse the Sea Sponge without disinfecting it. What another study did find: Women sometimes fail to properly disinfect, OR they fail to hang their Sea Sponges up to dry, which is Essential for preventing mold growth.` So to recap: 1 out of 12 sponges was contaminated in the study the article references. (I know it scared me too, at first!) If the Sea Sponges is improperly cared for, by mistake it may cause problems. Also, If a women fails to wet the sponge before inserting she can cause abrasions, that can cause dangerous problems. An improperly used Sea Sponge is NOT Safe,. However a properly used one is. I, will be using these Sea Sponges. BUT I will also be keeping Menstrual Cups, and pads on hand with me for backup. As a just-in-case scenario so if I get someplace, and need to clean out my sponge, but forgot my tools and cannot hang up my sponge(s) to dry out properly then I can use something else temporarily. In fact a lot of women (I may actually do this instead) only wear their Sea Sponge at home, and wear Menstrual Cups with a Light Liner away from home, because they are easier to care for, and easier to manage. Just what I've been researching. ;-) ------- Post Script: Good Luck with making your own Choice as to whether or not you want to use them. (I'm a strong advocate of Women making up their own minds as to their Personal Care needs and desires!)

[@michaelmitchel3460]

i actually use these and in public i carry a small jar from relish and i drop the old one in and pop in a new one. my jar contains water and tea tree oil. so no smell or problems and once home i wash them

[@whossoul]

It makes me so happy that I live in a time where instead of being forced to remove ourselves from society during our periods we can instead show the blood on camera and happily say "LOOK HOW MUCH BLOOD IT GOT!" Hahahaha

[@luxconcept]

Sea sponges are not actually animals, they have no central nervous system, no organs, no thoughts, etc. "By definition, sea sponges are classified as animals - although, this was debated for centuries, during which time they were considered first as coral and then as “half-plant and half-animal organisms” - but everything about their life cycle is far more akin to that of a plant. Specifically, they grow like plants, they eat like plants, and they have no organs or brain or nervous system, meaning that they are not self-aware, cannot think, and feel no pain of any kind. Additionally, when harvested correctly sea sponges do not die or incur injury; instead, they grow back stronger and fuller than before, like a plant that has been pruned, and at the same time release spores that settle to the ocean floor and form into new sponges."

[@sommerwelling6441]

Briana Rumley I feel like I've heard of sponges before, but not reusable tampons. the idea of putting a sea sponge up your vagina was so weird and kinda gross to me that immediate dissmisal of the idea results in me forgetting it the few times I've heard it. This was a great review though, far less squicked about them then the cotton reusable tampons.

I love how you're helping us break the mold. For most of my life I thought that the only two options were conventional tampons and pads. Then I started contemplating about the cup but I figured that it wasn't for me. But now you've showed me some other options and that's great. Thank you! I only would like to ask if there were any particularities to doing number one and number two with the sponge? thanks again

[@simplyvince1744]

My thing is... In the women's restroom if you walk out of the stall with blood on your hands, everyone will just assume you had a tampon leak out all over the string or whatever... Everyone has ended up with bloody hands at least once for whatever reason.

[@christianharris1962]

Also at school you would have to walk outside with the sponge

You're an absolute hero for doing this Kelli. Can I request updates on what you go on using, and how you feel about them the more you use them?

[@taniacanal9751]

I think in public you could carry a pouch to put it in and put a clean one in then clean the dirty one when you get home. Good tip to tie a string around it, losing it or forgetting it in there worries me about using these.

[@thevioisme]

Gosh Kelli I found your cloth pads video and I think I’m in that rabbit hole to watch all your period product videos. So excited to binge!

[@alifewithluna4134]

I laughed way too hard when you said your vagina would eat the nugget for dinner. Maybe it's because I'm a nurse but I am so unphased by your blood- I was eating Cheerios while watching your review. I honestly don't consider a sea sponge an animal; they have no neurons or muscle cells, no mouth or rectum or GI tract, and no sexual organs- just DNA that kinda places them into the animal kingdom. I was curious about using this instead of a beauty blender; so thanks for the mini review! I've also noticed that since switching to a divacup my periods are a lot lighter and nowhere near as painful- I think it has a lot to do with the chemicals traditional tampons and pads have; they can irritate the vagina, and the chemicals can alter hormone production. So you are for sure doing yourself a favor by using these products

[@TheSuperSweetiepie]

I noticed that my period was shorter as well. I just finished my first cycle using a Diva Cup for the first time. I have endometriosis as well and my period s usually last 2 weeks or longer. I used to have a Mirena IUD and it didn't help me at all. My menstrual was just as long and even more painful. So I had them take it out. This was also my first cycle off of the Mirena IUD so if anything it should have been even worse of a period. But it only lasted 4 FREAKING DAYS!!! I was in disbelief! I did also notice that my cup had a strong suction to my cervix after it popped open after insertion. I'm curious if the suction also caused me to bleed faster and heavier bc the cup was sucking the blood through the cervix. I mean it makes sense in theory. And I did have to dump my cup every 3 hours due to overflow. (I'm a VERY HEAVY bleeder. Usually have to wear Depends) But I haven't heard anyone talk about that happening to them... 🤔

[@kimmiewyckoff3907]

Acoustic I was using two products and having to change every 20 min...a super plus tampon and overnight pad. Sleeping was not an option. Going out was not an option. I switched to washcloths in disposable underwear basically homemade reusable pads. I tried the diva cup and because of my physical makeup internally it was not working all that well but it has also reduced in length and flow level since stopping the use of pads and tampons. I'm going to definitely try the sponges since seem like they would conform more to my oddly shaped "lady bits"

[@shimmershine6902]

Would you classify the sea sponge is more of a plant or an animal? I'm a huge biology nerd.

[@mandapooh]

I love this series. I can not tell you how much I appreciate this video. Your diva cup vid helped answer so many questions for me, I later discovered that the diva cup/menstrual cup is not for me, and actually have ordered sea sponges. My next cycle will not arrive for a couple more weeks and I was curious to know if sleeping with the sponge in something I shouldn't do?

[@ItsJustKelli]

Every website I have seen says to treat them like tampons and only leave them in MAX 8 hours at a time. I wasn't SUPER heavy at night and I love my super sized reusable pads so I opt for them when I can at night to give the vag a break lol. So if you only sleep for 8 hours you should be good!

[@mandapooh]

ItsJustKelli Thank you Kelli, I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to answer my question. I'm really excited to try this product & have a good feeling about this alternative. Last month I tried crocheted tampons and liked them but my curiosity to use the sponges will not go away lol. Have you tried crocheted tampons yourself? If not maybe it's something you could add to your series.

The biggest disadvantage for me is having to check and change it so often. With the cup or a pad, you can go 12 hours without worrying about it. :p

You don't have to check it as often as I did, I just did that for review purposes. You can leave these in up to 8 hours at a time. Honestly if you are at home or somehwere where there is a sink you could just check it when you go pee or poop and just squeeze it out and wash your hands.

Keep up the great work Kelli!!

Aw thank you! Liking and sharing my videos help! I also had an ablation after the birth of my 4 year old along with a tubal. About two years after it I started bleeding again and by the fourth month after I was back to super heavy uncontrollable periods. :( I hope yours lasts longer! I think my endometriosis had something to do with why my periods started up again so soon after

[@Dia_7hom]

ItsJustKelli I'm just starting to spot again, my ablation was four almost five years ago so I haven't done bad I guess. Before that my periods were 9 days long and I was using a super plus tampon, plus a night time pad. Underwear, shorts and pj bottoms as insurance when I went to bed... And I was still having to get up in the middle of the night to change. So I feel your pain! I'm not on Fb but I'm on Twitter so I can share on there, i think every woman can relate to these videos, every tweeny girl can benefit from them and as you said, boys can watch too and it'll be a learning curve for when they get married :)

You have opened my eyes to reusable menstrual products! I bought a cup and it's ready for my period this month... and now I'm thinking I will try sponges too! It weirds me out that big companies can put anything in disposable tampons and I think we all need to think more of the environment and keep an eye on what we are putting into our bodies! Thank you so much for making these videos!!

I am so glad God brought me to your channel. Back in January 2017 your Endo video kept popping up and I refused to watch it because it was so long. On Jan 16, after a laporascopy on Jan 6th, I was diagnosed with a serve case on Endo. Thank God nothing was blocked on the inside and nothing was removed. Again, your video popped up and I watched it. Because of you I found endovan and I am on my 3rd bottle. I feel great and am now talking about it with friends and family. I ordered my next set of 3 bottles. And a plus, I've ovulated from my right side which hasn't happened in years. I'm 29yrs old and my Doc said this has been developing for a long time. My period is getting lighter, pain is lessened, no more bloating. Also I made the switch to cloth pads back in Oct 2016 and changed my diet. I just received my Blossom menstrual cup yesterday. This is the first time EVER I've been excited for my period to come. LOL. Please keep making reviews!!!

[@ItsJustKelli]

I'm so happy that endovan has helped you so much!!!! God is good!

[@kristens3476]

your videos have changed my period game in some awesome ways!

[@carterac0421]

thank you so much for reviewing these! I've never heard of this option. The chemicals in regular tampons are scary, organic tampons can be expensive.. so these seem like a great alternative!

[@sarahaubrey320]

I love my cup.

[@ashleygrisham8739]

I had no idea they're were so many healthy options out there until I stumbled onto your videos. Thank you so much for making them! I've always had a lot of pain when using tampons so it's nice to know there are better options.

[@angelicahedberg5828]

thank you for this! just found this video and i love the review, all the work you put into this is amazing! i’m defenitely subscribing because i really struggle with my period🩸❤️

[@hazeldream1984]

Did you do #2 at any point when you weren't changing the sponge? I'm curious if it moves like the cup does?

[@katrinawebber4396]

these videos have been a game changer for me! I just purchased a ton of all natural products and I'm actually excited to get my period to try them out lol

[@1firey1]

"Thats what she said" *I literally laughed out loud!! Im sitting here on my period... also braless cause bras and periods suck. How far do you insert these? For someone who bleeds heavy would this not be a good idea?

[@1firey1]

And when I ask how far, I guess I should specify if your organs are tilted, cause I know I cant insert a tampon exactly normal...

[@monicalovely1120]

I love that my first time watching you this is what I get. . The normalcy of this is on point!

[@pastelqueen7827]

You're a real woman, You are so helpful, I love your channel

[@caitlinthursby6212]

I just ordered these from this same company and THEN remembered your video! So here I am watching your video again 💞

[@allicat817]

So excited for this product. I'm in high school so I would have to come up with a way to change them at school. I'm open to trying new things and love the idea of them being all natural :)

[@ItsJustKelli]

a few people here suggested bringing a small wet bag and extra sponges :) then you can clean them when you get home or to a private restroom!

[@allicat817]

ItsJustKelli that's what I was thinking of thanks for the review and suggestion :)

[@helloemvee5877]

You are an amazing woman! I discovered you yesterday and watched your period product videos all night last night and some of your vlogs. You're a so inspiring. 😘

[@christylouis2611]

I just wanted to point out that I am really happy to see an Asian woman whose make up isn't like 5 shades lighter then her face. You are already beautiful without make up but it's such a wonderful thing that you embrace your skin color and try to enhance it rather then trying to make yourself deliberately look like a different color that you're not. It's such an epidemic in Asian countries for women to look Caucasian. I hope we can all learn to love ourselves.

[@jodiverty1]

thank you for giving a truly honest review and not leaving anything out.

[@ThatOldBiddy]

..."I'm not asking you to squeeze out your neighbor's!"....XD

[@ItsJustKelli]

:)

[@Owlgem]

Really liked this video and seriously considering trying out the sea sponge. Thank you for making another review like this Kelli, I really like them. Always watch to the end.

[@lucyletlovein]

I'm not asking you to squeeze out your neighbors- cracked me up! Thank you for this series, it has been so informative and get rid of the stigma of talking about a natural function for women.

[@ItsJustKelli]

:)

[@annaellemay8590]

I read this comment as soon as she said it and I was so shook😂

[@musicrockeronthego]

I love how open this channel is about the menstrual cycle. It should really not be taboo.

[@Cozy_queen19]

did you notice less cramping after using reusable products? because I cramp so badly but that's more of a recent thing. Like after I had my second child I started cramping really badly..

[@morebeansplease102]

Peggy most of the time it reduces cramps, as in most* 'normal' products have chemicals that make you bleed more, you should deffo try

[@joannabluee9187]

"It came in and out really nicely...that's what she said" ded😂😂😂😂

[@ashleeanderson29]

I love you! lmao you are the greatest! my daughter always asks me why I watch your videos and I tell her it's because you're real!

[@pear92]

Lmao at Spongebob's face when you put the first sponge in. 🤣 If I were to use these in public, I would just find a family bathroom where there's a sink right next to me, so I wouldn't have to worry about people.

[@jessiedenney681]

I wish that more people would be like her! All women should be able to talk and explain their period comfortably. It's a totally normal thing but it also totally and everyone should be able to bitch about it! She is an absolute saint

[@1miga967]

Thanks for your videos. I have stage IV endometriosis and switched to a cup back in January and didn’t realize there were so many other options so thanks for doing these videos. Also I just ordered endovan and can’t wait to get home to pick it up. It’s funny that you mention the whole public bathroom issues. I am an over the road truck driver and all I ever use is public bathrooms. I carry wipes with me and have a spare cup so I pull one out put it in a baggy use the clean one then rinse at the sink if no one is there or at the truck with a gallon of water

[@ericabjohnson6606]

I might try this. I guess my cervix is low. Cups and tampons are too uncomfortable for me and I am to heavy for just pads. This video is great!

[@svchannel9117]

Same problem

[@udb1987]

Girl, same!!!!

[@freyialilian]

I have the same issue, although did you know your cervix moves lower during your menses and goes higher during ovulation! It’s to help the sperm get inside your womb! I have a menstrual cup specifically for low cervix and this does help! No leaks now. I think these might be a game changer tho!

[@icymellymel4483]

Thank you for this series! I can always count on you!

[@vkchunsa]

"my vagina could eat this for a snack".... LOL~ I died! Thanks for the great review. I'm learning a lot thru your channel about more natural period products!

[@ItsJustKelli]

So happy to be helpful!
