Getting Educated from a Finnish Magazine (warning to men: Don't bother to read this)

My sweet mother sent me a Finnish magazine called Kauneus ja Terveys (Beauty and Health) just this week. While I was browsing through the magazine I came upon an article that talked about "The Moon Cup" or "The Keeper". I thought: "What the heck is a moon cup??" Just last week I was complaining to Rod that I have to invent something that would reduce my periods to only one day. I'm looking forward to menopause because at least then I wouldn't have to deal with my periods BUT also I would be frequently warm. I'm sick of being cold all the time. I look forward to a day when I can fan myself.

Back to the article.

It introduced me to a plunger looking thing that you insert into your uterus where you usually stick your tampons in.

NO WAY!

I kept reading.

It catches the blood into the cup without ANY LEAKAGE...EVER!!! You simply remove the cup, wash it and insert it again.

WHAT THE...!!!!

And here it is, if you are interested. I have no idea why I have been living in the dark all these 45 years, 11 months and 9 days.





Next time when you see me, I might be smuggling a plunger between my legs. I dare you to ask me if I think it is the greatest invention of all times. I still have to invent something that can reduce the periods to measly one day.
