Right.
So.
I've spent the morning bopping around the Internet looking at midwifery and reuseable-menstruation-product web-pages. :-)
I have also ordered about $200 worth of books (pertaining to Goddess Spirituality and/or Menstruation) in the past 30 hours or so.
Ye gods.
Thank goodness for credit-cards[1], otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this stuff. :-)
However, I have a question for you women reading this.
Reuseable menstrual cups (the keeper, the divacup, the mooncup, etc): Anybody use them? (And willing to talk about it in a public forum? ;-)
My main question is this: I'm under 30 and have no kids. As such, I fall into the group of people who would use "Size A" cups.
However, (A) I want to have my first kid when I'm 28, which means getting pregnant about a year-and-a-half from now.
Everyone with kids (and/or over the age of 30) falls into the category of "Size B" users. ("Size B" is about 1/8" bigger than "Size A").
Do you think it would be perfectly okay/comfortable for me to just start using "Size B" now? Or should I hold off on getting one of these things until Baby Number One is out and born?
On a completely unrelated note (sort of... it does involve online shopping...): I want more perfume. Specifically, I want more BPAL perfume.
While I'm quite enjoying my lovely imps (the ones I got back in December), I've got about a dozen more that I *really* want to try. (Although I'd make due quite happily with just the first six on that list).
Given that I've got three (Mata Hare, Morgause, and Zombi) that I know don't work on me (too floral, for the most part), mayhap I should go and join the BPAL lj-community and see if anyone wants to trade the above for imps of "O" or "Blood" or "Tell Tale Heart" or any of the others I've got my eye/nose on. :-)
In other news: Tonight, I get to run the film "Wrestling with Manhood" for FEM1100. This film is about Western Society's view of what it is to be masculine, as demonstrated by the WWF (E?) and, effectively, how screwed up that is.
I wonder what kind of a discussion we can get going... I wonder... If I asked them to suggest alternative definitions of masculinity... what would they come up with? (I may bring Truth or Dare in, just to offer one possible alternative, and see if that gets the ball rolling).
- TTFN,

[1] Yes, yes, I know about the dangers of over-spending. I pay my bill off every month. Relax. :-)
