Only Read This If You Have a Vagina

I'm going to talk about periods.  I've been toying whether to share this fantastic product with you folks due to the fact that some people aren't cool with talking about periods.  And there is the possibility that my dad or other menstrual-phobic men folk might read this, or even menstrual phobic women and they would be totally grossed out by the knowledge I am going to share with you.


But this little invention is the best thing that will have happened to your period since you discovered if you skipped those 5 pills at the end of the pack then you can avoid the po po on important days of your life or vacation.  Also, I feel a moral obligation to my fellow sister friends to share this product that has changed my period for forever.  Seriously.  I don't have to buy tampons or pads ever again - think of all the money you'll save and it's better for the environment.  I have zero leaks.  There are no more awkward moments where I have to sneak a tampon out of my purse or accidentally pull one out in front of a dude while looking for a pen.  There is no super uncomfortable feeling when you put a tampon in at the end of your period and you take it out too soon and it gives you a little preview of child birth.  You can't get TSS from it - don't tell me you've never stressed about this.  Furthermore it's comfortable, and I feel so fresh and so clean with it.  


This miracle product is the Diva Cup, and although it has a super lame name, I suggest you purchase one immediately.  It is a little silicon cup that you fold in half and you stick up your hoo haa and then it pops open and forms a seal so every thing gets trapped in there.  When you need to (and I didn't need to more than once a day) you pull it out and you dump it down the toilet and you rinse it in some water and you pop it back in.  Easy.  Don't freak out about this.  It's not as gross as it sounds.  


I will admit that it took me two periods to totally get the hang of it, but now I absolutely love it.  Just give it a try.  At least google it for pete's sake.  


You'll thank me later.
