OOOOKKAAAYYYY. First of all, I am in full support of you using the Diva Cup, which by the way, comes in THIS BAG or any other cup, not for divas. HOWEVER, I think it’s gross, FOR ME…I couldn’t see myself pulling a cup of my own uterine wall bloodshed out of myself, but at the same time…i use OB tampys, which don’t have applicators (better for the environment), so people always give me shit for that. 

SO I FEEL YOUR PAIN. The fact of the matter is we all take care of our period however we want, you know? I respect the shit out of you for saving the world, that’s awesome, I can’t even fathom how many resources we would save if we all used tiny rubber cups to catch our baby-makin juices. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? If I were you I’d just do a really loud and hard fake laugh right at them and then make a serious face and say ‘my period, my business’ the snap your fingers and go ‘come on girls’ and walk away, moving your hips back and forth, flip your hair, look at them, wink, and then walk away loling.

I think the entire impetus behind Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” choreography was based on her telling her friends, ‘my period, my business.’  You know?

Also, I just made fun of Dannielle for five minutes about using O.B. tampons…because here is the thing, you guys.  No matter how old we are, jokes about poop and periods are allllllwaaaayssss going to be around.  I know that when we were ten we thought our parents were all joking about physics and soap operas, but like…they were still totally making fart jokes.  If you were my friend and you told me you used a diva cup, I would probably snap my fingers near my vagina for at least a week…BECAUSE I AM A LITTLE IMMATURE AND LIKE TO SEIZE COMIC MOMENTS.

All that said, the fact that you use a diva cup isn’t really any more or less gross than them shoving cotton swabs up their hoo-ha’s.  Blood is blood is blood, we all got it, we all have to deal with it, and they can get over themselves.  I know that some of you will probably hope that I say something like, “Our bodies create lady flow so that we may reproduce, sit in the moonlight and love yourself,” but like…I think it is gross when a giant ball of blood falls out of me, period.  #puns

Instead of trying to convince your friends that your diva cup is ‘not gross,’ I would just look them in the eye and say, “Gosh, I know, the fact that tampons turn your uterine lining into three different flavors of twizzlers is so incredible.”  Then do that snappy thing Dannielle said, and play the Beyonce video.
