Small announcement

muck_a_luckAvert your eyes, the easily squicked.
Inspired by a certain friend (whose post was locked, so I won't mention her name), I bought a Diva Cup.
I'm going to document my personal Diva Cup saga under a special friends lock of people either so close to me that they can't avoid hearing about my girl parts on an almost daily basis, or people who I believe might actually be interested in the story.
I mention this here in case anyone wants to raise her (or his *cringe*) hand to be added to the list. As anyone who has been reading this journal for a while can attest, I have no qualms about discussing my body parts, but this will probably be daily updates, and maybe somewhat icky, and for some reason I just don't feel like sharing with the world in general.

Date: 2007-09-05 07:53 pm (UTC)I worked in a hospital for a dozen years. If you want me to go "Eeeeewwww!" you'll have to do better than this. But if I make you cringe, you're better leaving me off the list. Your journal, your comfort level.

Date: 2007-09-06 01:20 am (UTC)I wonder if we share a friend in common. That sounds awfully like the post that sold me on at least trying the thing.

(3)Thank you. I'm honored that you think highly enough of me to share things you don't care to broadcast to the world.

Date: 2007-09-05 10:36 pm (UTC)I remember a rubber product called the Keeper Cup being marketed in the crunchy granola community for years, but never got around to getting one. There was a similar, disposable product marketed in the regular drugstores a few years ago called Instead that I used to use, only I would wash them out with antibacterial soap and reuse them several times. They were more diaphragm shaped -- the Diva Cup looks better, and easier to grab.
I've been on pads for several years because of cramps, but I'm getting those back under control and would be interested in the Diva.

Date: 2007-09-06 01:22 am (UTC)I read about the Keeper Cup while peering at the Diva. Latex v. silicone. I'm hoping this thing flies. It would be nice to kill a few fewer trees and add less fill to the landfill. And since I'm not giving up disposable diapers...
