My 23-year-old sister has decided that it is a good idea to MAKE HER OWN REUSABLE SANITARY NAPKINS.


Given that my family loves to share, over the past week my mother has sent me emails about this process. Why is my mother involved? Because my graduate student sister is making them at my parents' house. Which naturally leads to my father deciding to name the pads.
Gems like:
Jezebleed
Pillow-crotch (this is, of course, an ode to my father's invention, Pillowhead, which requires its own post)
Ferbie (I don't know where this one came from. Which is why it freaks me out the most)
The Futon
Hemer Dam
Blood Angels
Lady Wolfpack
Additionally, according to my mom,"[They]
actually made much better prototypes with [her] favorite being the one where we just stuffed a cotton sock with the liners, attached "wings" sewed snaps and voila! the lazy girl's hillbilly hygiene holster." The next part is not for the faint of heart/those that don't care for (more) unnecessary information (ie
if you don't want to know about what goes on in my sister's vagina):
My sister was just bananas about her
diva cup, an item that, as Carrie would know, is indispensable to any Martist, and thus allowed my sister a respectable career path should her Phd in Library Sciences fail (I don't know what it is either).
When I asked my mom why my sister was replacing her beloved d.c., I got the response:
"well, when she chose to get the iud, they said she should not use the diva
cup because when she takes the diva cup out and if she does not truly
release the suction she can yank the IUD.
who would have thunk! (is thunkthe sound of the pressure release of the diva cup)"?
This is the woman who raised me.
This + guy who makes up 7+ names for a wad of cotton sewn into an old sheet x (nature + nurture)=why I am the way that I am.
Now you know more about my sister's reproductive hygiene than anyone (including her) should.
The above (all of it) should explain my past and future crude posts and vulgarity in general. I don't know Carrie's excuse.
