  DivaCup!

  I remember seeing the DivaCup (Well, the Keeper or MoonCup... but the DivaCup is the one that was at my health food store) mentioned here before, so I picked it up.  It's the best decision I've ever made, personal health/hygene wise.  It's fabulous, I honestly sometimes forget I'm on my period.  I don't even know how it's possible that I have less cramps than with pads, maybe because I'm less aware of the constant "eeew Period!" feeling, and it's so, so much more convenient.

  Word to the first time buyer - even the level 1 size looks huge, and I kind of balked at it at first, but honstly it isn't because it's nice and squishable.  I advise you to trim down the little stick on the end though, I found it kind of painful because it stuck out too far, but now that I've trimmed it off I don't notice the thing at all :)On Umbra on that time of the month, again posted 2 years, 10 months ago 19 Responses

  I sympathise

  I live in a predominantly middle eastern immigrant neighbourhood, and our only grocery store closed down on new years day, without even informing their employees.  Apparently, the whole chain went bankrupt.  Now it is a half hour bus ride (one way) for any of us to reach a supermarket in a more upscale neighbourhood.  I know, for myself anyway, that I'm eating less healthy food since the closure, mostly because of the inconvenience of getting fresh fruit & veg, and putting off cooking because its an hour round trip if I've forgotten one ingredient.On How the feds make bad-for-you food cheaper than healthful fare posted 3 years, 8 months ago 9 Responses
