Website of the Day: PMS Buddy
This is one of the most genius ideas I've ever heard of! PMSbuddy.com is a free online PMS reminder. Basically, you can either sign up to stay aware of when significant ladies in your life are about to ride the red dragon and act insane in the membrane (so you can be all, "Oh, now I understand.").
Pamper Your Beaver!
Get it? Get it? Those Aussies sure are sly with the double entendres!
No More Conspicuous Red Dots
It's a nice gesture, but that glass ceiling . . .
Dude on a Tampon Run Must Decide: Mini or Super?
With the vast array of brands and "sleek designs" and colors and smells and grips and absorption options, how does a dude on a tampon run make a selection? Let's just say his fingers take no part in the picking. Neither does his brain.
The Kardashians: Keeping Up With Aunt Flow

Flashback: Old Kotex Ad
And by "old" I mean 83 years old! There was a time when ladies who were on their periods having a "lost daintiness" moment actually had to launder their "cotton pads." (Click on gallery below.) So when Kotex came along, it was probably the equivalent, for women, of a man walking on the moon!
The Story of Menstruation
As told by Disney. This sweet animated film from the '40s or '50s gave me an important refresher course on all the stuff that happens when Aunt Flo comes to visit. These days, I bet young girls know their way around a stripper pole more than they do their own bodies, and it's interesting how, in more modest times, they didn't really mince words.
