I think it’s more likely that the medical professionals in question don’t know if stopping menstruation is harmful or not, and so encourage their patients to menstruation occasionally “just in case.” Which is not sound medical advice.
If you don’t develop a nutrient-rich uterine lining, you don’t need to shed it, and if you do, but don’t menstruate and aren’t pregnant, the lining is reabsorbed by the uterus.
The non-hormonal IUDs can actually make periods heavier, though.
Use polyurethane glue. It’s cured by moisture, so it’ll just get stronger with time.
Oh, I see a great TV ad jingle in there!
ButtGoo glues your butt with glue!
So you can save your number two!
or something
Their FB account is gone, and they have a helpful note on the product page explaining their FB account was hacked. HAHA! So believable!
That’s not actually true – the cleaning itself out part. Hormonal contraceptives prevent the endometrium (lining of the uterus) from thickening and shedding (assuming the dosage is right); during the withdrawal phase of the standard hormonal contraceptives cycle, the levels of hormones drop, the lining gets weak and the capillaries burst, causing breakthrough bleeding. If one just keeps taking the active dose tablets, or replaces a ring every three weeks, or adds a new patch every week, or has a 5 year hormonal IUD/implant, the lining never thickens and never weakens. This has been a long-term strategy for managing endometriosis (which is a dysfunctional growth of the endometrium) for decades, with no ill effects. (Also several other conditions.) The inventor of the pill himself wrote that cycles could be of any length. There are now Mirena users who have almost 15 years on their three IUDs, with minimal or no breakthrough bleeding in that time, and no natural periods at all (since they didn’t ovulate, so the endometrium didn’t thicken and shed). If those users needed “cleaning out” that would be a known factor. It’s not.
The reason for the establishment of the 21-7 cycle of the original pill and the reason this idea endures is a) because in the beginning of the Pill era, periods were the signal of Nope, Not Pregnant, and early users would have been nervous about not having a period. (Home pregnancy tests then were nearly non-existent and expensive after they became available.) b) the primary inventor was Catholic and was trying to build a contraception method that would thread the needle between not interfering with the mechanisms of conception and being effective. His early work was in the rhythm method, and the 21/7 meant the rhythm method still applied. The whole point was to please the Catholic Church, which failed miserably. And almost 60 years later, we’re still dealing with his arbitrary sucking up to celibate men. (The easiest access for this is Malcolm Gladwell’s article on John Rock, found here: http://gladwell.com/john-rock-s-error/ or Devices and Desires: A History of Contraception in America, by Andrea Tone.)
A complete menstrual cycle is 24 to 30 days, on average, though some women have cycles that are significantly longer. A complete cycle includes menstruation – it’s right there on the tin.
You’re probably against vajazzling too. What are you, the fun police?
Sadly, vag glue was missing from this list:
Should be fine, but doesn’t work for many on the low-dose Pill that most people take nowadays, and the old fashioned high doses are full of uncomfortable side effects. Though mostly seems just not to have caught on, since people take it to be body hacking and kinda weird.

this product supposedly releases the menses with urination. Unless the subject does not evacuate ever it shouldn’t be an issue.[/quote]
yeah, i was thinking about that part and i don’t get how that would work…getting pee into where you’d have to glue…plus what kind of glue doesn’t dissolve in blood or excretions, but magically disappears when splashed with urine. not to mention that if the glue comes unstuck in even one small spot the entire thing would drain, there is a reason the diva cup uses a cup.
i’m hoping so.
you forgot to include your kickstarter link!
okay, i know this is a bad joke…
WARNING: This Product Not To Be Used To Stop Unwanted Births
Everything about this is wrong, no?
And here’s the big question? How is one water based substance supposed to dissolve the glue better than another one?
If this isn’t a giant troll, what’s the magic chemistry behind this glue? Because to be a bit gross, there’s not really a heck of a lot chemically separating blood and urine. (yes, for all the pedants out there I do know the difference chemically, but I’m just arguing that they’re actually pretty similar fluids.)
Fluid engaged!
My mind keeps going back to this 5 kg lot of neodymium computer magnets I bought a few years ago, to make stuff. “Say goodbye to the days when your sticky, messy, unreliable vag glue would come unstuck right at the worst moment (video plays vignettes of job interview, cheering after a successful putt, the center seat in a cramped airplane). With Vagnets, you decide when. First 100 lucky callers get this free mini flathead screwdriver and handsome carrying case.”
“Vag-nats!”
“They magnetize yer snatch!”
"Metal in that penis? clack "
“That’s Vag-Nats!”
I love this post.
As I recall, that was the plan for the original pill, but they put the sugar pills in to try to get the backing of the Catholic church.
Maybe it’s custom-tailored to be impervious to the user’s bodily fluids, but dissolves when someone else pees on it. “he claims that the glue will dissolve […] during urination” but doesn’t specify whose urination dissolves it.
Oh, I didn’t get that this was a tRump thing!
