poor men, afraid of a little menstrual blood. "only women bleed" - uh, or is that "breed"?
the cups are good for sleeping on heavy days. You have to change them in the shower or tub, though, otherwise, they are a mess.
And have you heard of the sponges? there are special menstrual sponges, which you then wash and reuse. Save the planet against the evils of wastepaper and chlorine. All that.
