Instead was a disaster for me. I'd have to crouch in the shower to get them out, and it was like a totally like a murder scene! I like the idea of still being able to p-in-v with it, but I switched to the menstral cup (Lunette, specifically) and never looked back.

After years of reading through Jezebel and laziness trumping my desire to comment out of rage or admiration you sir have motivated me to conquer the sloth in me to let you know I love your penis-washing choir gif-comment so damn freaking much! I tip my hat, to you with humble admiration.

Twice a day.

no effing way this is a true story, I use a diva cup and there is no FORGETTING much less for two weeks, and then taking it out not over a toilet? Excuse me? NO, that just doesn't happen. I leave mine in for like 4 hours and then I'm still gonna take it out over a toilet. ewwwugghhhhh

I am dying! LMAO

Mark's penis-washing choir:

Slide a finger up along one side; it breaks the airtight seal and stops the horrible vacuum thing happening. I hate to be one of those "Diva Cup changed my life" women, but...yeah, I am. Love the thing - and being intimately acquainted with one, I don't believe this story. My spidey-sense says it's taking advantage of…

I like the measurement lines, it helps me quantify my period.

At the risk of never leaving the grays again (although why I'm worried on THIS story...)

I haven't played with a penis in a long time, but I'm pretty sure you should wash that daily. Are you having sexy times with a partner? I'm sure they would appreciate it as well.

I use one, and I don't recommend boiling it. I clean mine in a 1/2 and 1/2 solution of water and hydrogen peroxide after cleaning it with mild soap. I let it soak for at least 24 hours (or more likely until my next period since I tend to forget about it). You can boil them, but they last longer if you don't.

Hahaha, well then my hat off to you! I just think the malarkey lies in the "oh hey, let's take that bad boy out here in the bedroom." Nope. Ima file that under bathroom duty.

I tried an Instead cup for the first time last week...only b/c I was visiting my dude & my period came unexpectedly (damn you Mirena)...So I'm looking at this plastic thing..slipped it in...then in the middle of doing-the-do...the dude says, "there seems to be this thing inside of you"...so I had to explain what it…

Boiling it is ridiculous. There is not a high enough temperature to sterilize it (you'd need an autoclave for that). That boiling can change the texture of your cup for the worse, however, of you cook it for too long.

Yeah, there's no fucking way lover boy is coming in the bathroom AT ALL if that's going down. The second I realize what it is, I'm hauling ass to the bathroom & turning on a scalding hot shower before even trying to remove it. And I'm locking the door behind me until I've scoured my ladybits with Comet. I may not call…

Your audience, right now. Bottom right: Me.

MARK. WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US.

the only reason I call BS is that after she remembered it had been that long, she still would be trying to preserve the mood. Umm, if I suddenly remembered a tampon or anything else was in my business for two weeks I would kick my husband out of the house for an hour before I tried to fix it. And then I would go to a…

Oh my god. Oh. My. God. OH. MY. GOD. I left my diva cup in once for 24 hours (We were camping and I REALLY didn't want to have to bury it in the woods). That alone was enough for me to respect the regular cleaning it required. I do wish wish wish that mine was comfortable enough that I wouldn't notice it for 14…

I'm sorry, she realised it had been in there for 14 days and didn't think it was a bad idea to take it out in the bedroom? Even if it had been there a normal amount of time, you wouldn't take your presumably blood-filled diva cup out IN YOUR BEDROOM. I call bs.

Also, while I've never used a diva cup, I also find it odd…
