Catch the Flow: The Menstrual Cup
As a female, we have but two choices: and I don’t mean death or oongaboonga. You can shove a stick of cotton up there, hope there’s no overflow, and pull a warm gooey wad of blood out of yourself hours later, better known as a tampon.
Or you can place a would-be padded post it on your panties and glimpse the contents of your uterus leaking out every time you pee: the pad. Isn’t there a better solution? Not as of yet, but we just found out about a worse one: The Menstrual Cup.
The Menstrual Cup is a small silicone or latex container that holds about an ounce of period blood. You insert it into your vagina like a tampon and twice a day, you take it out and pour the blood into the toilet. Then rinse, vomit, and repeat. Apparently some sick bitches love this technique, and I have to admit, they make a good case for why we should make the switch from tampons and pads.
1. Money/Cash. The cup costs between $20-$40. Ladies spend that much in tampons and pads in a matter of months, but the cup can last for years.
2. Vaginally Green: Pads, tampons and plastic applicators satiate a landfill’s belly. Even Kermit knows it’s not easy being green, but this is a pretty simple way to give back to Muth Natche.
3. Hide the Crimson Tide: No need to worry about leakage or that ever-so-annoying little white string hanging seductively from your crotch. Added bonus: no risk of toxic shock syndrome.

What’s worse than finding out that you have a testicular tumor? Seeing the tumor’s scary face. Canadian doctors were shocked to discover a man’s startled image staring back at them as they scanned the testicles of a 45-year-old paraplegic man.
“It was very ghoulish, like a man screaming in pain,” one of the doctors described. “His mouth was open and it looked like one eye was gouged out.” Residents and staff alike were fascinated by the outline of a man’s face with his mouth agape on the ultrasound pictures.
Though the tumor was found to be benign, the man had the testicle surgically removed just in case the face in his balls had any plans of its own.
