[pct-l] question for females

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

I wish I had known about the Diva cup before I got a hysterectomy. I  
wish there had been something like that long ago. When I think back  
to all the tampons I've disposed of, including the awful Rely ones  
made of foam rubber pieces (the ones that gave us toxic shock back in  
the 70s) that will be in the landfills for all eternity, I feel so  
awful. Supposedly there were sea sponges back then, but I never found  
one in a store. We didn't have the Internets back then, either.

If you ever come to a fork in the road and one option is a  
hysterectomy, take it. It is awesome not to have that problem  
anymore. (A hysterectomy is not removal of ovaries. That's a  
bilateral ooforectomy.)
