Never too young to start getting used to some form of “She must have been asking for it”.

I worked in Indian gaming when I was still a chef. The conditions I worked in were, putting it delicately, shady as fuck. So many OSHA violations... I was exposed to live TB when I was there, as were at least 39 other people. When 6 tests came back positive the infected were given two weeks off for the marks to fade…

The First Rule of Diva Cup Club is:

I know. Better?

“In my position, I am able to buy these things. Don’t buy those other things, because they are gross.” -Paraphrasing you

Do you think I can shove two up there? Because my double vagina would make that a smidgen more difficult for me than the average woman.

Sorry for being so...on edge I suppose. But literally every time this comes up on here I get multiple women telling me that I don’t know my body somehow so I’m basically just waiting for it. And I don’t even use disposable stuff. It starts to grate on the nerves. I am totally fine with people talking about how much…

Toxic Shock Syndrome is no joke, but you need to first build up enough bacteria to produce toxins to which you can react.

I tried to use one one period - and I have to use public restrooms during work and it looked like a crime scene when I tried to take it out and rinse it. My hand to my elbow was drenched with blood. So, sorry, but no thanks.

I like cloth and will sing its praises to anyone who asks, but I don’t care what anyone else does. Cups freak me out because of my crooked and messed up internal anatomy. I know for a fact it will be uncomfortable. And the funny thing is that even though I’ll say I’m a happy cloth user, nine out of ten cup users will…

Free tampons will just encourage the kids to have periods!

I somehow obtained the key to the dispenser in my high school and would just hand them out. The thick as hell pads left a lot to be desired though.

No girl/woman should ever struggle for access to menstrual supplies. This is great!

Thank you!! As a kid with super poor parents, I was certainly not walking around with extra quarters in my pockets to buy a big pad if I needed one. I did the poor kid half-an-inch-of-toilet-paper-wad in my pants. I’m not the only one, right?

1) Why wouldn’t she start talking about a maternity leave?

seriously, i was about to ask why someone bothered even typing out this article, as if it’s news

Isn’t that kind of a Not All Men argument?

A religious institution behaving according to bronze-age morals? I am shocked!
