attak_fml tells us more.
Hey guys! OP here. First of all: yay, one of my submissions finally made it! So, to clear some things up: 1. The fml is obviously about me being embarrassed to death that this happened. I wanted to make a good first impression and I was so nervous and I forgot to put the cup away. It's defiantly not about me thinking she made an unreasonable request or anything. 2. The cup was emptied and thoroughly cleaned. I had left it on the edge of the sink to dry off before putting it away and I accidentally forgot about it. She saw that and was fine with touching it, so it wasn't really something disgusting, just a very, very unfortunate thing to happen on our very first day of living together. 3. This happened a while ago, and neither I or my roomie think it's a big deal. We're both fine with, you know, women occasionally not covering up all evidence of having their period once in a while. It was just incredibly embarrassing and awkward when it happened, but now we're all good! :) Cheers!

What is a menstrual cup?
a google search that can change your life
You could also quickly explain, so that people wondering the same thing can find the answer just by looking to your reply.
It's a silicone cup shaped device that you put in your vaginal canal to collect the period blood. They are safer than tampons, can be used for 12 hours and for $40 can be cleaned and reused for several years which serious lowers the cost of having a period. Some places sell less sturdy disposable versions if you are interested.

I think that's a little extreme. Even if I didn't see op's reply I would presume it was cleaned up, because it would make no sense to leave a cup full of menstrual blood.
