Strictly For The Ladies: The Diva Cup

Ladies, I’m all for being green and saving the Earth and treehugging and all that Al “I invented the internetz…put it in the lock-box” Gore jibberish. But some things just go a little too far for me. For instance, I will not be composting my dog's poop and using it on my greens and tomatoes in the back yard.

I won’t be "air drying" it when I should be using toilet paper, if you know what I mean. And I certainly do flush it down when it's brown and when it's mellow yellow too.

And, after seeing an ad for this creation in one of my favorite magazines, you can add this to the list of things I will not do for Mother Earth! I will not be Diva Cupping it any time soon.

Gents, you can stop reading at this point… unless you like throwing up in your mouth.

The Diva Cup is a non-absorbent menstrual cup that collects your Aunt Flow. I won’t go any further. I think you get the visual. They say this thing won’t leak and you can’t even feel it when you wear it. And, you can wear it for up to 12 hours before emptying it. (*cue my innards turning over at the thought of this*)

I know it’s a recession and we’ve all got to conserve our ducats. Hell, Tampax and Always can cut into a sista’s budget sometimes. But cut back on the Starbucks or something. This is drastic! I’m all for trying new things and being all adventurous and whatnot. But, no ma’am on this one. I can’t do it.

If you want a demo on how it's worn, go here… or if you just wanna see some vagicat discussion (you freak!).
