Ever notice that they are ALWAYS wearing white too?

Also, and maybe I'm showing my naivete (or something about me I shouldn't advertise, I dunno) here by saying this but that thing looks really (too) huge to me.

SnowQueen said:

They're pretty soft and flexible, I've seen them. And a hell of a lot smaller than a baby, if you catch my drift. You're designed for things bigger than that Mini-Baster.

Well, to each their own but to me putting menstrual blood on my houseplants seems weird and unsanitary.

I don't mean to offend or sound narrowminded, so I hope no one takes what I said that way.

FunkMistress said:

Good point.

FunkMistress said:

You're scaring me.

FunkMistress said:

uncontrollable laughter

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

You two should have a morning TV show.

SnowQueen said:

I don't think that plants have quite the same standards as we do. It's full of minerals which are good for plants, and for many women it's a spiritual practice: giving their blood back to the earth. This goes back to ancient practices of bleeding on moss (for example) to return your blood to Mother Earth. A symbolic exchange of nourishment. Dig?

subhuman09 said:

...but what network would take us?

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah, 'cause I'm not tryin'a be on some sucky cable-access channel.

trailertrash said:

I know right? I'd be like "bitch, get away from me, I don't want nobody to see me getting some pads...LOL"

FunkMistress said:

I'm thinking something with a 30-second delay.



(The networks would never take you two-maybe we can convince Lifetime to have a channel that's actually good.)

subhuman09 said:

Lifetime can suck my ovaries!

FunkMistress said:

and mine too! ain't no way we'd end up on there, havin a show that'd come on right before a slew of crappy made-for-teevee movies.

FunkMistress said:

I do understand all that and the symbolism behind the practice and I respect that, but having menstrual blood in the potted plants inside my home is the part that seems unsanitary to me. I don't mean to be crude, but menstrual blood, after being exposed to air, starts to get a unique... odor. Outside plants are one thing, but inside the house....I mean, if you poured it onto the same houseplant month after month all that blood would start to build up and, as the blood broke down, wouldn't it theoretically begin to smell?

Again I mean no disrespect to anybody with these questions.

SnowQueen said:

Okay, if you really want to know, the women I know who do it water down a little bit of blood with a lot of water, and water several plants with it. It's so diluted it doesn't smell, and it basically breaks down into fertilizer.

Now, on to me 'n Dansa's TV show. Now that I think about it, we could have a show that comes on after every one of those crappy TV movies where we make fun of the women in them.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Exactly.

I'm thinking you two are more HBO.

FunkMistress said:

that'd be sweet.

FunkMistress said:

I wasn't trying to be funny I was just curious and didn't understand, as the idea of doing something like that was so foreign to me and I certainly didn't know the specifics. Thanks for your response. Sorry if my questions were dumb or annoying.

FunkMistress said:

That or just rip apart myths, stupidity and generally fuck with people's conceptions.

SnowQueen said:

Have one. Love it.

applekisses said:

Well, yeah. I take naproxen with something caffeinated as I'm starting to feel one coming on, to keep it from developing into a full-fledged hideous headache from hell.

SnowQueen said:

im a female n all, but this is not the kind of topic i cant easily discuss. thats just me though

Does it leak?

subhuman09 said:

Two of my friends use that thing called MoonCup and they say it's very nice and practical and no leakes have ever occurred.

Not unless it's full, and that's not gonna happen to most women. My understanding is that most people bleed 2-4 ounces during their entire period, the cup holds almost an ounce, and you're not supposed to go more than 12 hours without changing it, so. . . you do the math.

But no, it doesn't leak, it's great for swimming and such. And if you remove it when you're having a light day, it doesn't dry you out and hurt like tampons can. It also doesn't wick bacteria like tampons can if they are poorly designed or are left in too long. And air doesn't reach the blood, so there is no odor (not saying that tampon-using ladies are stanky, just sayin' ). All in all, I think it's marvelous. A little tricky to insert the first few times, but you get the hang of it.
