As a Senior Writer and Content Creator for BuzzFeed and Tasty, I specialize in lifestyle reporting, viral human-interest stories, and travel/food media.recommending scooping. We’re simply discussing a viral topic and opening up a conversation around it.
Always, always, always consult your doctor before considering something like this. Okay, here we go...She starts,"My friend just told me that she is not a scooper, and we need to discuss because I thought every single woman was a scooper. I'm a little shocked that she is not, and I need to know if everyone else is. This is exactly the type of conversation I came out of TikTok retirement to have...""She sent me a video about a woman that was getting her pap, and she happened to be on her period at the same time, and the gynecologist scooped everything out. I said to my friend, 'You don't scoop?' She was like, 'Wait, what?'""I was like, literally, when it is that time of the month, I get into the shower, and I scoop as much out as I can, because I don't want to deal with it. And to me, it's just easier to reach up in there and scoop out as much as I can. I do it every morning during that time of the month, and then I barely have any sort of residual action throughout the day," she added." I told my friend, 'I just, like, hate this part of life, so I literally take things into my own hands and make it a non-issue.' She was dying because she was like, 'Wait, what do you mean? This is what you do?' I'm like, 'Literally, this is what I do. You should embrace this.' Am I the only woman on earth doing the scoop? I can't get into the cervix or uterus, but I can get a lot out with my own personal scooping," she concluded in thereach her uterus or cervix, explaining with a picture diagram that, instead of relying only on tampons or cups to collect the blood, she uses clean fingers to gently scoop — not scrape — out menstrual blood that has already moved into her vaginal canal.Learning about each other on a personal level really is something, isn't it?! 😂 Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
