Yeah, I don’t get the impulse to shit on this show. It’s not perfect by any means, and sure the construct of fixing a person’s life via a one week televised makeover is a stretch, but I think what this show is trying to do is really sweet and positive, and you know what, we need some of that shit right now. I also…

Sure, I bet you aren’t a bigot at all! I bet that’s why you felt a need to bring this shit up, unprompted, basically to tell trans folks to know their place.

to think trans women have an “outsized” voice within feminism is so gorram laughable I don’t even know how to respond, so here is a gif

exactly- Japan. Can’t show genitals and thus fart porn is a thing.

> and RI is going to end up with some random fetishes.

On the plus side, 20 years from now, RI could have the country’s best rail infrastructure!

What I think will actually help stop teens from internalizing harmful ideas from porn (ie biology ideas, copy violence, body insecurities) is comprehensive sex-education that addresses porn as an acted-out fantasy rather than a documentary.

*ISP picks up phone* YOU GOT COX!

There’s a fine line between what is sexy and what’s obscene. Who gets to decide, Frank Ciccone and Hanna Gallo?

they make rubber ones

Holy cow, I didn’t know that was a thing. I thought silicone was the go-to thing of choice because it basically didn’t interface with biology (so you can even do things like implant it for breast augmentation and stuff, your body just ignores it). Your body must’ve rolled hella bad on that check. :P

Here for the first menstrual cup shout-out like ヽ（´∀｀）ノ

Reusable pads are a thing too. And sea sponge tampons that are reusable. Also period panties. There are options for people who can’t use cups for whatever reasons.

So the problem is, almost nothing is flushable, even if it says it is. Even those flushable baby wipes aren’t. The only reason TP is flushable is because it just about dissolves in liquid...something you don’t want to happen to your period products, since they need to stay intact and hold the liquid.

Addressing #3: It takes a little planning, but I usually don't have to adjust or empty my cup in a public restroom. Unlike tampons, you can leave cups in for up to 12 hours. When I do have to adjust or empty it in a public restroom, I just do it and stick it back in without washing. Not ideal, but sometimes life isn't…

There is a public bathroom at my office, too. Assuming everything's situated properly, I can usually leave me cup in for up to 12 hours. If I do need to adjust or empty it at work, I just dump it out and put in back in without cleaning it (I figure since you're good for 12 hours, that goes for washing, too). Then I…

I think it might be able to! I also have a really heavy period and when I started using my Diva Cup, I kind of didn't trust it to hold all the blood back, so I wore a pad for the first few days. The pad was completely free of blood, so I know nothing got through.

This should not matter at all. 1. Most women will be able to go the entire work day without having to empty the cup. Put it in empty right before work, empty it out first thing when you get home. 2. Even if you do have it empty it at work, just dump contents in the toilet, wipe it down with toilet paper and reinsert. …

I am the least hippy person you will find and I fucking LOVE my mooncup. It's way more comfortable than a tampon and you never run out. Periods are a breeze now, they're the best. I don't understand why they aren't more popular.

Why is anyone still using tampons when moon/diva cups are so much more environmentally friendly and convenient?
