  • Very helpful!

    This was so practical and helpful - I discovered this podcast about 2 weeks before my wedding, and was able to share the “advice to newlyweds” with my husband, which he really appreciated! I have a question that I was wondering if you might address: what is the moral theology of using a menstrual disc during intercourse to reduce the mess of period sex? Thank you!!
