Menstrual Pads Hurt the Environment

F-KN
GROSS!

no way
I tried one of those 'instead' cups?
With out the harsh descrption....
I had to clean the toilet, the seat, and my JEANS before i could leave the bathroom.
That was just putting it IN.

OH MY GOD - THAT IS THE GROSSEST IDEA I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!

I remember this male commedian saying he was watching a commercial for douche, and for some reason he started actually to pay attention to what they were saying.

The mom was saying to the daughter "and the best part dear, is that it's disposable"

like, what are ya gonna do lady, save in in a jar in the fridge?!

Sorry, NO WAY.

You mean there are other things out there like this?

When I first saw this I thought it was a joke. I cannot imagine doing this. The mess, the discomfort. It even suggests that some women like to cut the tip off to make it more comfortable. Then how the devil do you get it out.

I don't know, but just some things should be disposable.

gheez, I wonder how often you have to clean the
"Keeper", never mind of how inconvenient it is in a public
restroom. First you empty the "Keeper" into the toilet,
then you need to leave the stall and wash that thing in
the sink (how sanitary is that?) and if you're lucky, your
stall isn't occupied by then, and you can go back inserting
the "Keeper" for a refill.

Oh yeah, I can see women flocking to the stores buying
this newest revelation which seems to be one of the better thought through and awfully nifty inventions (not).

There is such a thing as being too intimate with your body.

I remember getting fit for a diaphram years ago.
I had to keep practicing to get it in right. christ, that was a kodak moment.

the doctor had said that I'd know it was in right because I would feel my cervix thru the rubber. Yeah, like I'm always goin' around touching my cervix (oh, excuse me, do you mind if I touch my cervix)?
he also said my cervix would feel like the end of my nose.

so, I'd find myself doing something unrelated, and relize I was touching the tip of my nose, trying to figure out what it felt like.

anyway, there I was, practicing and all of a sudden, I was like "Son of a BITCH, that feels like the tip of my NOSE"!

It was really, really weird, like my nose was up there man.

Anyway, if this thing is anything like a diaphram, it'll look like the Mei Lai Massacre taking it out.

did you read the testemonial where one girl actually said "the diva cup ROCKS"!

wow

yes I suuuure did

you couldnt pay me enough to lie like that..

would you say it on a dare?

c'mon, I double dog dare you....

say "HIYA - I'm SHEWOLF aaaarrooooooooo....and I'm here to tell everyone, the Diva Cup ROCKS.....aaar aaaaar aaaarrrrrroooooooooo"!!!

I figured, after using a cervical cap, that this type of product would be a bad idea. I discovered, later, that I had been right - a housemate had a few toxic spills down the outside of the toilet bowl. Then she kept it, in a pickle jar filled with vinegar and water, on the shelf in the bathroom. Plain view. Nasty.

The diva cup is perfect!
While using it, make sure you avoid :

sitting down
standing up
coughing
sneezing
bending over
walking
laughing
passing gas
inhaling
exhaling

These activities have caused , in 99.9 percent of our test subjects, for the Diva to tip.
In 80% it caused it to pop out.
You dont have to alter your life to enjoy our product.
Just pamper yourself for a few days , relax and enjoy being a WOMAN!

I bleed way to heavy for that little sucker.

<pondering>

Who recommended these recently?

I remember going to a couple of the websites and wondering if they could be better than they were 25 years ago. They'd have to be.

i dont know how much you can improve on a 'period cup' though..
I mean, they can only be SO big and SO thick..
If they are not able to be hygenic, then they become disposable ( ie- instead cups )

Lots of things are better when they were 1, 5, 10 ... years ago. No reason these couldn't be.

I'm still not gonna try 'em, but they do sorta make sense.

Thank goodness that I no longer have to deal with stuff like that. Wow, gross!

As much as I'm not looking forward to the change of life, I'm not going to miss that! Oh no I'm not!

that is true
5-10 years ago, the material they used to make them may not have been sturdy enough to with stand activity.. may not have been the healthiest..
many options..
I would almost want to know how well they work
but that may be a case of TMI.
