so im not a fan of the word diva but...



i bought The Diva Cup and am impressed. SO impressed.
It's basically a concept sort of like a diaphragm, but not. and is a period product.
First off. I must give props to Sarcastic Mom for even making me aware of this product. i've seen something like this before at our local Shopper's Drug Mart but the next time i'd come back to buy it, it was gone. so i've just stuck with my trusty O.B. tampons.
which are by far my most favorite tampon. they're the least uncomfortable. and i've never had a leakage issue. not to mention they're 52% less waste then other tampons. not to mention, to my knowledge. are the only one designed by a woman doctor.

But now, behold! i've upgraded!
and, since i've bought this and been so excited about it and have already given four peoople TMI about how awesome our insides are and been called dr cristy twice. i was wondering. why have i never heard of this before? and why aren't more women using this amazing WONDER?!

i think more women do not use this product because of a few things.

One being the initial cost. it was 40 dollars.
i averaged out how much i spend a year on period stuff. and its more than a 100 dollars. so i got over that pretty quick. the other thing i can see women being kinda iffy on is just that its really Different than what most of us are used to looking at. and it IS fiddly. at first.
so, after getting over the initial cost and getting comfortable with the product. i give it major thumbs up ladies. because, i don't know about you but i'm finally glad that i have a choice about how much i have to spend on menstrual products. and to be able to pick the very best thing for my body as well. or am i the only one that finds tampons make me uncomfortably dry?

So check it out for yourself readers. and dudes. you can too, be all in the know and stuff. i dont talk about stuff i buy unless its one of those. HOLY MOTHER AND BABY JESUS IT CHANGEG MAH' LIFE. which. ya know. this certainly did. or else someone sends me something for free to try out.. im just sayin'

cheers all.

a great woman named Barbetti who's blog i check in on daily is going through a horrible day with her cousin in the hospital after a serious motorcycle accident. im posting this to let her know im thinking of her and her family right now and saying lots of prayers for them all.

prepare to be blasted

have any of you heard the new big hoopla?

well, the hoopla in my world at least.
what i'm about to talk about isn't something that i've talked about on here before. mainly, because i havent felt like i had anything to add.
but, now i can at least give my support and say a few things.


but i'm getting ahead of myself

this link will get you up to par with what is going on

ACOG VS. Midwives

and here

its all about the money

basically.
the american medical association wants to make it ILLEGAL to give birth to your child anywhere but a hospital. TOTALLY ASS BACKWARDS ON THE FREE CHOICE FRONT. and actually went so far as to say that woman who choose to give birth this way are putting their desires over the health of their baby and that it should be considered CHILD ABUSE TO HAVE A HOMEBIRTH
oh and this!
no insurance for women who've had a c-section

i mean seriously? seriously?!
im spittin' mad people. SPITTIN'. MAD.

what else can i say that these brilliant women haven't already?

what i will say is i have NO problem with a woman choosing to give birth in a hospital. its your choice, if it is your choice. im not one of those people look down on women who give birth in the hospital. not at all. that isn't even what this is about. great i say, its what you want to do. what i am saying, is that, who the fuck are these people telling women who choose not to give birth in a hospital that they are not allowed?! and even go so far as to try and make it CRIMINAL

medicine is taking some giant steps backwards.
