You all know this where you click on links and end up seeing stuff you never wanted to see (or hear... "never gonna give you up"......)

Today, I clicked on a Facebook link for "Fleurcup - Menstruation cup".
Yes, I had to share this and you'll wish me to hell + that you never clicked on the that link either ^^;;;

To sum it: WTF???

wtf. i can't believe it's real XDXD It can't be real right?

[karu_chan]

See the comment below, it is real.
But I think most of us will agree that tampons are the best solution ^^;;;

[kyoko_godaikun]

Hate to say it's real. I really don't like the idea that it's reuseable. YUCK

I've used the instead cup before. It looks more like a diagram.

the only problem is that cups are *very* messy. After using the instead for two years I've gone back to tampons.

[karu_chan]

Yeah, I thought that it might be messy, but... I wonder why people come up with inventions like that.

To save money and the enviroment.

[karu_chan]

Saving money okay, but the environment?

I think it's more complicated to produce one of those cups than to produce the equivalent amount of tampons. (Do we need any oil to produce tampons... not sure right now. I hope not).
Then, you need energy + water to sterize the cup again, so I guess in the end we are at +/- 0 at the environment costs.
Of course it DOES need less space in your trash can than the tampons you'd use in the same time.

I've been using one for 4 years one and it's probably the best thing ever. I have two in different sizes, it's very nature friendly, it lasts many many years and you can boil it or use gel to sterilize it. No biggie, I love mine very much

That's like the Diva Cup. You didn't know that? O_o You obviously need to frequent certain LJ comms a bit more XD Like ontd_twatlight. Mostly about mocking Twilight, but the users there talk about other stuff as well XD And yeah, Diva Cups belong to that.

IDK, I don't think it's THAT bad. I wouldn't use it, but I can see that you would save a bit of money.

I myself am neither a cup nor a tampon girl /TMI

[karu_chan]

As you might now, I'm not really interested to follow Twighlight comms. I'm not even following Merlin comms, and that's something I DO like.

[toshi_hakari]

I didn't mean literally that you should join them ^^; Just that certain comms talk about that and therefore I know that it exists ;)

[secret_secret]

haha, was alles erfunden wird, um geld zu machen... ist so ähnlich wie öffentliche wc-anlagen, in denen man vorher zahlen muss =_=

[toshi_hakari]

Also ich dachte, dass du wenigstens hättest wissen müssen, was das ist, nachdem du auch auf twatlight unterwegs bist XD

[secret_secret]

ähm, ich war dort schon seit monaten nicht mehr ^^; genauso wie in fast allen anderen comms, bei denen ich angemeldet bin XD keine zeit :P

[toshi_hakari]

Aber das Ganze wurde auch in Posts erwähnt, in denen du warst XD
