guys... skip this one...

okey dokey gentlemen... this posting isn't for the faint of heart... so, if you "eww-out" too easily, you may want to skip this puppy cuz it's about... you know... "that time of the month"...

good, now that they're all gone, we can chat...

while perusing crunchy chicken -- the latest blog i've come to adore -- i came across a posting about how wasteful (not to mention down-right gross) all those tampons and pads that get tossed by each of us every month are... to be honest, it hadn't occurred to me that there were alternatives, other than the "healthier" products offered by seventh generation and natracare. man, was i wrong!

while i haven't tried glad rags, luna pads or hag rags (which are just funky as all hell... LOVE all the design choices), i MUST sing the praises of... (drum roll, please)... the diva cup!

i admit, i was a bit apprehensive, but -- good golly -- if this isn't the most efficient, no-brainer way to get through the lamest 5 days of the month, i don't know what is! simple to use, comfortable, easy to clean and maintain, and NO waste... PLUS, no more tossing a ziploc bag full of tampons into your backpack any time you go on a trip "just in case" (wooo hoo!) ... and no "errant strings" to embarrass you (ok... i think i went too far... ewwww....)

i am SOOOOOO a diva girl!

yes, you all know waaay too much about me now... now snap out of it!

oh, and any ideas on what i can do with costco-size boxes full of tampons are most welcome! (i'm thinking about some sort of progressive artwork, but am open to ideas!)
