Well, there is the 800 page book.

As much as I love dense history books, that’s really not what I had in mind. :)

I was just thinking about a diva cup; just the other day, I read a story about a woman suing Kotex because she lost a leg to toxic shock syndrome. Does it leak? And, uh, how often do you have to empty it? Is it easy to clean?

That’s horrifying. Menstrual cups don’t completely remove such medical risks—you’re still putting a foreign object inside your body—but you don’t have to change them nearly as often as you do a pad or tampon to be safe!

The cup only leaks if you haven’t inserted it correctly, such as by pushing it in too far or not rotating it to ensure its suctioned in place. This does take a spot of practice, admittedly, but it’s not rocket science, I promise!

You should empty out the cup at least twice a day (every twelve hours or so), although this is more for sanitary purposes than out of concern that the thing might overflow (because it won’t overflow in that time range, even with a heavy period). I usually empty it an extra time (so every eight hours instead of every twelve), just to be paranoid, but I don’t sweat it if I forget or don’t have access to a bathroom or something.

It’s very easy to clean! Again, there’s going to be much less blood than you might expect, and I’ve personally found the “ick factor” to be much less than dealing with a tampon and heavy flow. During your period, emptying and cleaning is simply rinsing out the cup with tap water, giving it a quick scrub with mild soap, and dabbing it dry. In between periods, you just boil it in water.

If you’re curious, the Diva Cup website answers these questions and many more! (I can’t imagine other brands of menstrual cups would tell you anything too different, but you can check out the myriad other options available besides the Diva Cup if you’re interested.)

Leslie and Ben had to pick a political name for their daughter that they hadn't used for roleplay purposes. Let's face it, they probably added various connotations to a ton of political-lady names over the years. And like you said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Sonia.

That is exactly it.  Ben really didn't want to look at his daughter and picture the Hillary. 

Also I have a tiny head canon that Sonia may have also been one of their grandmothers too.

I don’t understand what you are talking about, but I like your style and subsequently agree with you.

Why thank you.
