Re: Two questions

[Guest guest]

Actually there was this " thing " on the market that I tried and then pitched.I

can't even remember the

name-but it was shaped like a bowl and was made of a sort of rubber.The idea was

to sqeeze this thing to

insert it.Well I tried that and it kept popping out(stop all that laughing out

there) Finally I threw it

away and I have not seen it re-appear in the pharmacy so I guess, it went off

the market.

Ok, you guys cracked me up! Now I'll just be giggling the next time

I go shopping and fail to find the " Industrial Size for REAL women "

section of the aisle. It's so good to know that I'm not alone.

I don't recall the name of those either, but I do remember seeing them in

That's the " Museum Of Menstruation " . Amongst the many bits of trivia you'll

find on the site are both the long history of menstrual cup like " Instead " , and

the evolution of those underwear-type things. My personal favorite name for the

cup is " Daintette " . In the panty category, I'm partial to " Sanitary Bloomers "

Enjoy, ladies!

oh yeah I remember that thing. I flunked origami making and so this was a sort

you made smaller and it popped out inside in all it's efficient splendor. I

think it was a spare automobile

(chinskate),

Thank you for keeping the reply short and NOT including/attaching all

the original messages.

When I lived in Toronto, Canada, a few years ago, Kotex was selling

throw-away leakproof underpants that we can wear when we have our

periods. You still have to wear pads and tampons. I still have a

few in my closet. I wore them when I went to bed but I felt funny

wearing them. I don't remember the name, and I don't see them

anymore in the drugstores.
