    As a man who have been with the same woman the last 20 years I have an extremely limited experience in the field of periods to put it mildly, but what benefits does using these apps give you.

    Could you get the same effect from an airgapped notebook?

      How could you have been with a woman for 20 years and not have experience with periods?!?

      Ask her. Talk to her about it ffs.

      An app doesn’t get lost like a notebook, it builds the calendar for you, it can give recommendations about when fertility is at peak (notebook never talks back), it’s always with you when you’re in the bathroom. A notebook can work.

      Maybe think of it a bit like watching a movie on DVD and wanting to switch which room it’s playing in. It’s totally doable, but it’s a hassle.With Netflix and a smart TV (or better set up), you get a pretty seamless experience. Add more blood, nausea, cramping, and depression to that scenario.

      A place to keep track of personal notes and details should, you know, be personal.
