    Oh what we don't have to go in the hut anymore?

    What if I like the hut?

    All my stuff is there.

      I understand that being sent to a hut because you're "unclean" is not a good thing and the huts probably aren't too nice but every time I hear about something like that I think damn if I wouldn't love a weeklong vacation each month.

      Seriously! You wouldn't have to negotiate that awkward "Sex now?" "No sex now, hole is hurty," thing with your partner. You'd just walk down hill to the hut, no questions asked. And all the other bitches from your hood would be there! SLEEPOVER! Who brought the Midol!?

    You may have been joking about festive menstrual cups, but:

      THERE'S A GLITTERY CUP?!

      Honestly, that red one would probably be a good idea. I hate how discolored my diva cup is getting... I know it's clean, but it doesn't LOOK clean!

      Same—I read something about soaking in hydrogen peroxide to bleach it? The glittery cup is a MeLuna—I've seen blue and pink glitter ones too!

    I'm luckily blessed with fairly easy periods. Only mild cramping most of the time. Combine that with the fact that, if I can help it, I'll use tampons the whole time and not pads. I often forget to take along the necessary supplies. This resulted in my husband having an amusing rant along the lines of "how do you forget that stuff? It's like forgetting to wear underwear." This weekend. Even after I explained to him that he wears underwear more than 5-7 days a month he still didn't get it.

      OF COURSE, as soon as I stop having mine, they are en vogue. Call me when everyone starts opting out of periods for good. THANKS MIRENA.

        You and me both. As soon as I stopped they stepped up their game and started making tampons in pretty colors.

      I've always been pretty okay with talking about my period to just about anyone but strangely very, very embarrassed when buying tampons or pads. I don't understand the disconnect.

      And favorite period euphemisms, go

      My top two: surfing the crimson wave and falling to the Communists. Yes, I steal all my best euphemisms from screenwriters.

      I love my period. Every month it's like "Yay! I'm not pregnant again! Way to go uterus!"

        Now THIS is a facebook 'raise awareness' posting meme I'd get behind. "Change your status to reflect your most horrible period story to raise awareness of PMS."

          I'm really not sure talking about how I was curled up in a ball crying is going to help.
