I’m trying to brainwash myself into saying “yoni” because it seems so enlightened and post-hippy; but I’ve recently been saying “hoo-ha” and that’s really growing on me. Fun to say!

@Tim Right you are, Tim! That's exactly what I mean. Thanks for catching that. :)

Sorry but I can’t resist this . . . By “The external genitalia is called . . . ” do you really mean “The external genitalia are called . . .” what with them being plural and everything? ;)

Aargh I’ll never be allowed back now ;)

I vote for trying the MoonCup! They’re good and have many, many uses, such as for getting oral sex on your period from squeamish types who are put off by tampon strings, for never having to buy tampons again/never running out of menstrual products, and just the sheer cool/weird/bizarre novelty of it is the best part.

@Pip I may start referring to my underwear as "twat-smock" now, thanks to you! Now I'm getting really curious about these menstrual cups. I don't think you can actually get Moon Cups in the U.S. anymore, so I'd probably be going the Diva or Instead route myself.

@Brock F’in Samson I definitely never thought it sounded like "Moonchild" in the movie, but I've always heard/read that that's what it indeed was. I'm not getting good feelings about this remake thing. That Louis CK clip is hilarious. I like a lot of his stuff, but hadn't seen that one yet. Thanks!

I love, love, love my menstrual cup, though I use the diva variety. Divacup, not necessarily a special cup for divas. I could go on and on about how awesome it is, but mostly just the lack of mess, and the convenience. (You won’t get TSS, and the only limiting factor is how much you bleed.) I will keep my pro-cup tirade short today–be grateful!

Also, I really like the word twat, in the same way I enjoy saying smock. Twat-smock?

On a semi-related note, I saw The Neverending Story with my dad when I was a little kid and it wasn’t until my late twenties that I figured out what Bastian screamed into the wind to save the Childlike Empress (I have yet to read the book, but it’s on my to-do list–and it’s “Moonchild” if you’re still in suspense like I was). Also, they’re apparently re-making/re-booting The Neverending Story, so you can imagine my seething nerd-rage.

On a totally related note, do a YouTube search for Louis CK’s bad words if you’ve never heard it. You might be offended by it, though.

@Holly Pervocracy I can't believe that didn't occur to me! It is almost definitely a 4chan prank. Perhaps I shall try this Instead thing you speak of. But I will still buy and review the Moon Cup if the people deem it so. I'm all democratic like LYV. 4chan, if you're reading, I will also purchase and review this tentacle dildo if you chip in half. I hear you like that sort of thing.

I use the “Instead” menstrual cup and it is seriously the only way to bleed. I can’t believe I ever put up with pads or tampons–a properly inserted Instead is impossible to feel, invisible from the outside, and doesn’t leak at all. Forget hippiedom (which it isn’t because Insteads are disposable, I don’t want to have to wash out my crotchjuice in a public bathroom), even for a selfish jerk this is just SMART. It’s amazing.

“Moot” winning is probably some stupid 4chan prank.

I like “pussy” best for all-around use in and out of bed–it’s cute but dirty. I’m too used to hearing “cunt” negatively to be comfortable unless it’s a BDSM thing and it’s meant to sting a little. “Vajayjay” is a curse upon our lands.
