I recently posted a blog on the products Lunapad and Diva Cup, and apparently offended a person prompting her to call me "uneducated" and "9th grade." My position on theses two products was (and will always be) they are disgusting. Sorry, but that is how I feel. I am all for discussion and different opinions, but refuse to participate in name calling and bashing over a blog.
Her suggestion was "how about doing some research before going all 9th grade girl with your icks, yuck and ewwws." Thank you kindly for the suggestion, but I must say, I did look up information on the products on their respective websites http://www.divacup.com/ and http://lunapads.com/ I also watched a You Tube video on insertion and removal of the Diva Cup prior to posting the blog "Going Green.... Gone a Little Too Far, YUCK." I formed the opinion based off of the information I read and viewed. I read the testimonials on both products, and my opinion still stands.
I believe in protecting the environment, and I will continue my contributions through recycling, reusable grocery bags, energy saving light bulbs, etc. As well as continue to educate myself and family on being Eco Friendly. However, I will also have the right to decline to participate in a product that I don't see as sanitary or convenient for me. I will not criticize those who use the products, and never have. I just think it is gross, simple as that.
The ability for humans to make their own decisions and express their individual views is a beautiful thing. How boring the world we live in would be if we all thought and felt the same.
