Alternative Goods for Your Goodies! July 12, 2008

For quite a while now, I’ve been working on being a smart shopper- that is, making sure my money goes to people who deserve it and people who care about the community, their customers, and the environment, rather than major cock-sucking cunt-hating corporations.

Thus, I now present to you: the wonderful world of alternative menstrual products!

What’s wrong with regular ol’ pads and tampons?

1. They’re brought to you by man-owned coorporations, who know jackshit about you, your cunt, and your comfort.
2. Disposables are awful for the environment, getting flushed down the toilet, or taking up space in landfills.
3. $$$
4. Toxic Shock Syndrome, bleach, chemicals = directly exposed to your vagina. eek!

Soo…what are the alternatives?

Behold!

1. Lunapads, Gladrags
   
2. Instead Softcups
3. DivaCup, the Keeper, the Mooncup

What’s so great about these alternative products?

1. Support women and lesser known corporations that love your body.
2. Most of these options are reusable, lasting for up to years and years, saving you mucho money and reducing your environmental footprint.
3. Safe and healthy! No scary cunt-destroying chemicals!
4. Comfort, comfort, comfort!

So there you have it. Check it out. And start taking control of your body.

Have a truly happy period!

Let those babies breathe! July 11, 2008

I’ve been going braless for months now. Being part of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee, this wasn’t so hard a transition for me. It was quite simple- my boobs are small (A Cup range, if you must know) and wearing a bra was just plain uncomfortable.

There have been connections made between wearing a bra and developing breast cancer or fibrocystic breast disease, because wearing a bra can hinder how your breasts remove toxins and other processes. In addition, not wearing a bra is supposed to actually prevent sagging. Boobs have ligaments, and just like any other muscle, to be strong, they need to be used. When you wear a bra to support your boobs, those muscles aren’t being used, causing your boobs to lose the inability to support themselves without a bra.

For me, it’s a way to say fuck you to the media, big corporations that benefit from selling bras and making me hate my body, and pressure for girls/women to look a certain way. For such a long time, I had problems with my self-image, because I hated how small my breasts were, and I thought no guy could look at me and like me. Wearing bras would make my boobs look bigger.

Eventually, however, I got sick of being brainwashed and oppressed. I got sick of feeling uncomfortable and confined. I got sick of looking at myself in the mirror without a bra, and thinking I look bad, just because my boobs looked small. Well, you know what, they are small. And I love them. And they’re healthy and free and oh so comfy.

Your’s can be too. =]
