Also, to get them to sit right, I find it's all about pushing it in straight backwards, not up. Think about keeping the ring level as if it were a glass of water that you are trying to to spill and push it as far back as it will go. Just as you're about to remove your finger, give… Read More

I love the disposable ones. I use one or two per cycle, cause my period can be pretty erratic and properly sanitizing a diva cup three times a month seemed excessive. I have found the trick is to run it under hot water when you're inserting a new one. It loosens up the plastic ring… Read More

Nobody said this represents the majority, but it sure does represent a problem in our society and we need to pay attention to it. Plus "23 examples of human beings treating other human beings with respect" doesn't make for very compelling content. Do you write your local newspaper… Read More

The (not so) funny part is, even if you keep them from spending the money, they'll find a way to be pissed. Back when I used a dating site, I was texting a guy and he asked me out for coffee much later in the week. Between when we made those plans and when the plans actually happened,… Read More
