I am deeply uncomfortable

[wambam]

After reading the Diva Cup thread on CEP. 

I don't think I'll ever be the same. 

How can I get the images and descriptions of the stenches OUT OF MY FRICKIN HEAD?!

Lol! That was super gross. But reminding myself that it was largely embellished (because I'm pretty sure it's not a true story) helps.

But it COULD happen.

I'll stay right here then.

[isabel]

The title alone was enough for me to haul ass out of there. ::puke::

Yet another story to scare me away from Diva Cup. :S

[pixy0stix]

muah ha ha! More people to share my horror.

[Deleted]

Oh my god.

[papie]

I didn't read but remember when latinachik told us about how she forgot a tampon for two weeks? And was having sex too and her BF commented in the smell?
Don't blame the diva!!!

[pantsparty]

This is my face just reading the title.



Nope, not going in there.

to be fair, that thread went way off the rails outside of the (probably made up) diva cup story--it gets a lot worse, but about tampons, not cups.

[jreeds]

Yeah, no. I opened that thread up and shut it right back down. No thank you.

[no0b]

Eww. And eww some more at some of the comments.

[yourmother]

Did you read the comments about the smelly dick dude? He only washes his penis every-so-often. Gag.

I don't read any details about what a Diva Cup is, how it's used, and I don't even care. I get the gist and I find it vile.

Vile?
Oooookay then.

Do you use tampons? Same thing, without the waste. Nothing vile about that.

I don't agree that DC is vile, but it is NOT the same thing as a tampon. i don't have to dump my blood into the toilet and then wash my tampons. 

[compassrose]

I'm going to live in my happy DC bubble and not open that link.

[lilafowler]

Period bucket!

I love when things immediately go to eleven with some people.

and no, I'm not icked out by my period.  I'm a grown-up.

  Or lying, lol.

Lying? Periods are not gross. They are not always pleasant, but they are not gross.

I hope you don't shit either because *that* can be gross (although extremely satisfying).

No you have to put them
In your trash can a million times a day. How gross is that?

I stopped using tampons the day I found out I wasn't supposed to flush them. #divaforlife

I have read about the deva cup smell from just normal use. It's the reason I refuse to try one. heh

I can honestly say that I have never noticed any sort of stench when using my keeper.

Periods are gross
Shitting is gross
Puking is gross

Come in now, let's be real. That doesn't mean we are horrified by it.

My cruise a year ago had super convenient waxed paper bags to throw tampons in and I really want to get some for home.

I don't mind sticking my hands up my vagina, but I don't like having period blood under my nails.

Sometimes I'm moving along on GBCN like "ladeeda" and all of a sudden Tamb pulls out something like this.

NO.

Back in your corner.

[Muddled]

Sorry, guys. I do not find my period to be gross. It's blood.

[edithbouvierbeale]

I STILL CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S SO DAMN DIVA ABOUT THOSE THINGS?!?

[wambam]

OMG pulling out dry tampons is the very worst.

So is inserting a tampon after sex. Something about trapping jiz inside of me squicks me out.

I'm not mature enough for periods or sex, apparently.

[cinnamoncox]

That story was made up, there's nothing "vile" about the DC.
If anyone was on the fence about getting one, and has decide that story is solidifying their choice not to get one, forget that made up joke story. The DC is great.
