Who's a Diva Now, Bitch

It honestly doesn't bother me when, say, a roommate leaves her Diva Cup out on the bathroom counter. Because my beef with the Diva Cup isn't that it's been inside a girl for 24 hours and now it's on my counter. I mean, hey, who am I to judge. I'm all for the "convenience" and "sustainability" principles behind the Diva Cup, as well as the explicit but informative claim that it will "last you years." No, the issue does not lie in the function or occasionally disturbing accompanying images of the new women's menstrual product.

I'm talking about the name. Diva...Cup? Okay, so it's a cup. I get that part. But Diva? What the fuck? So I'm a diva for putting a cup up my vag now? I thought I was just a smart consumer. And c'mon, let's just save the pink flowers for my first sex-ed class. I'm a woman with a body that means business, and I need a feminine hygiene company that gets it.

TAMPON. It's serious. It's not fucking around. And I like the corporate flavour of brand names like Tampax and Kotex. That "x" means business goddamnit, like it could do your taxes and sell your stocks too. Even "pad" is straight and to the point. No funny stuff. Plus it has a cool sort of upside-down symmetry with the first and last letter.

No funny stuff, Diva Cup!
