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.

I remember these…somebody used them in college. I always pondered how awkward the rinsing would be in a public bathroom unless you scored one of those sweet handi-sink-included stalls.

Oh get over it already! Why should women vomit at the sight of their own menstrual blood? How is this any different than yanking out a bloody tampon? GROW UP! Sorry in advance for being an eHater who would never say to your face what I just typed anonymously.

I’m disgusted by the sight of my own blood whether it’s from my vagina or my finger. But thanks for your cunty comment!

Sign of the times…With this Twilight vampire schlock even High-School kids are not immune from pseudo-vampirirstic twaddle……Sez one horny would-be blood-drinker to his innamorata, “See you next period.”……………

Great post! Loved the video.
So many women don’t realize there are other options. Curious, would you be interested in writing a post for our site at http://www.BePreparedPeriod.com?
