A No-Period Pill, for Reals
Good news for women for whom "period" is a four-letter-word: The FDA has approved the first no-period birth-control pill.
Some women are weirded out by that idea. According to the Wall Street Journal health blog, about half the women polled said their period comforts them because "it lets me know I am not pregnant." Hello? You're on the pill!
Side effects of Lybrel include the following:
- Stress over not being able to blame PMS for psychotic behavior. Or forcing the boyfriend to run to the drugstore for your you-know-whats.
- Museum of Modern Art puts Playtex Gentle Glide tampon on display next to Bic pen and Alvar Aalto stacking stool.
- White is the new black.
- Maxi pad with wings rebranded as Super Bounty, the Quickest Pickest Uppest.
- Tampon arts 'n crafts
I, for one, am lovin' it. As for the rest of you who just can't get enough of your little friend (I am woman -- watch me bleed), here's a museum just for you.
