I may not have a vagina or have to deal with the monthly visit from Aunt Flo, but still you cannot tell me that collecting your menstrual blood in a cup lodge in your nether regions is actually better than using soaking it up with a pad or tampon.The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.
The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.
As a sexual health professional I need to be informed about these things. As a gay man I am grossed out by the thought of women walking around with little cups of menstrual blood sloshing around that that they need to dump and rinse their cups before sticking back in.
For some reason I don't think that women who do go through this are all smiles and giggles during the process.

Shudder..have you been watching too much extreme makeover again??
Have you seen Shortbus? I'm sure Shabbos would love this.
it doesn't sound too terrible... Not any more gross than walking around with blood soaked cotton all day. I'd give it a try for shits and giggles.
I'm with Anthony, Euw, Euw, Euw!!
no fair. non-menstruating, penis-heavy opinion poll-like post.
It's a good thing you don't have a vagina! What do these people think it is? A portable storage area?
Write something new please, please, please. It's getting a bit unnerving to come to the page and see her smiling with a gentleman's relish catcher.
Would it not leak if you sat down? UGH! As someone so wise once said "Baby, dats Nasty!" lol
