Woo! Here's an invention whose time has come!

(WARNING: If you're an XY chromo, you may want to refrain from reading this entry. Trust me on this one.)

Introducing ... the Diva Cup!

A competitor is the The Keeper.

If there are any women out there who are brave enough to road-test these items, do let me know. Part of me is actually extremely intrigued by the concept and seriously tempted to try one of them out myself, since my Auntie Flo is probably enough to rival the gallonage of Niagara Falls and wreaks all manner of horrific logistical and laundry-related havoc every month. I probably buy enough Tampax and Always to pay the salaries of their CEOs and put their brats through an Ivy League college. I enjoy being a woman, and all that it entails ... except for this one aspect of it. I just can't deal with the monthly. Yes, I know what some of my female friends out there are thinking. I've been brainwashed; instead of embracing, honoring and celebrating this special, magical, powerful badge of womanhood, I am buying into the "dirtyization" of the menses by our patriarchal culture. Well, if you had an Auntie Flo like MY Auntie Flo, I guarantee you that you'd be kvetching too!

Now if you're an XY chromo and cringing at this information, TOUGH! Told ya to stop reading.
