A few months back, I bought a
Mooncup. For those of you who aren't well-up on such things, it's a reusable alternative to tampons and the like, with mysterious overtones of feminism and hippie nonsense.
The couple of people I've mentioned this to have been extremely curious about the whole business, so I thought by way of a public service announcement I'd put my thoughts on it here. I was considering locking this to just girls on my friends-list, but (a) I can't be arsed, (b) I'm not actually clear on the gender of some people and (c) if boys want to read it I don't see why they can't.
I've tried to be as un-icky as possible, but a certain amount of graphic detail is required to explain things.
