I am a woman of childbearing age who has never once wanted more information about the volume and color of my menstrual fluid. But maybe I’m missing something.... I am not so solipsistic that I believe that all women should share my personal concerns about the Looncup.... Maybe other women are far more fascinated by the volume and color of their menstrual fluid than I am....

Looncup, the "smart" menstrual cup.
"Looncup is an old-fashioned silicone cup with a twist: It contains a sensor that collects information about the volume and color of your menstrual fluid and an antenna that sends that information to your smartphone, which alerts you when your cup is getting full...."

We might switch to Lune later in the year since Loon can be seen as negative.
Didn't catch that before, eh?
"Loon?" Is that a PMS joke?
If it meant loon the bird, would that be better or worse? For ideas on worse, consider Leda and the Swan.
""Loon?" Is that a PMS joke?"
I think it's nice, but they're saying they might change it, because of the negative association. They say they meant to combine "moon" and "luna."
Sexist! Why can't guys have one of those for when we ejaculate? I think I would want a permanent record of, say, volume, which could be seen as important for one's one vitality as well as for advertising purposes.
Frequency, however, not so much.
Is this like guys looking at and talking about their poop? I've been married a long time and never heard my wife talk about her menstrual color. Now this morning I went into the second stall at work and to a......
I'd go with "moon" and "tuna."
I already know more than I have ever wanted to know about female physiology.
There's probably a joke to be made involving the phrase "her cup runneth over" but I'm way to classy to pull it off. The joke, I mean.

I've always thought the reservoir tip should be graduated. It might add a little glamour to wearing a condom.
Can it text me to tell me to stay late at the office and stop for a few drinks at my local before getting home?

They were desperate: someone was squatting on the trademark rights to "iPlug".
Tsk, raping Mother Earth with all that tech and petrochemicals. Much better to use a rag or a handful of grass, isn't that right?
Yes!!! Just think ladies ( I hate being cis-bitchy but men don't menstrate). You can share all your menstration data with your buddies! Be it he, she, or xi, or even xhi!!! You could set up leagues, like fantasy football, and compare and rate your bloodiness?? What ever! Thats whats so reat about this! It's your choice! And we all know choice is where its at, right?
Question though. Will this company be sued for creating a gender specific item? I mean, gees, talk about exclusionary practices. Maybe they can combine it with a device that measure hemarhoidal bleeding. Because that's what I'm starting to do, because this is so fucking stupid.

LOON cup? LOON cup? Really? Seems a little insensitive.
Hmmmmm... well... hmmmmm...
lol........
LOL
I'll think of something. Give me a minute. Let me stop laughing, i'll think of something.
Did Dylan ever sing about menstruation? If so, you missed an opportunity here.
Wait, I know! Blood on the Fucking Tracks!
I don't think many of us are interested in the color of anything that comes out of our body but if you find somebody who is call the cops.
Things that make you glad to be post-menopausal.
What's new? Males have been wearing cups in sports for as long as I can remember. Utilitarian for both sexes as one protects the vitals while the other disposes of the vitals. Aunt 'Flo' finally has a home. Beware of cracks in both devices, by the way.
