A bit much...don't you think???!!!

So, I am randomly looking on Jillian Drawers website (because I am slightly addicted thanks to Jess!) and I ran across this. I am all for saving the environment and being as green as possible, but I personally think this takes it to a whole new level!

It's a reusable menstrual kit. Yes, reusable. It's pads are washable and it uses this cup (called a DivaCup) as a tampon. To me, this is just gross. If you're that concerned with saving money and being green, try the Mirena (a IUC that allows you to not have a period and only has to be replaced every 5 years). It's a great form of BC and it'll save you money not having to buy those monthly products. I could just never see myself washing my blood off a reusable pad...but, that's just me. It is definitely cheap, and it says it'll save $150 for the first year, and more for every year after that....but I just wonder, how far will being green take us? I, personally, think that this is one of the most amuzing things I have ever seen and I could never see myself using this....EVER! For those of you who may, I hear perioxide gets blood out pretty well...happy washing!
