Attention Advertisers: This is Actually a Pretty Funny Maxipad Commercial

by Susana Polo | 1:11 pm, September 18th, 2012

Forget about the predictable “boyfriend caught acting childish in front of parents” ending (hey, at least it’s not the “boyfriend caught acting feminine in front of parents” ending). If I’d unlocked the hidden potential of winged maxipads to become Wonder Woman bracers (and therefore to not only absorb moisture but also bullets) at a young age, my parents would probably have a lot more embarrassing video tape of me. Probably of me trying to take them off as the adhesive pulled at my arm hairs.

Stick around for a bonus one second of Gregory House being super serious.

New Theory: Women Menstruate To Protect Ourselves From Babies

by Susana Polo | 11:52 am, December 22nd, 2011

Why humans (and most primates, some bats, and elephant shrews) menstruate is a question that many have attempted to answer in some way… some explanations more convincing than others. The downsides to menstruation (the process of shedding the endometrium of the uterus that was built up in anticipation of the possibility of the implantation of a fertilized egg); “throwing away a substantial amount of blood and tissue,” “leaving a blood trail or filling a delicate orifice with dying tissue” in a “world full of predators and disease,” not to mention the menstrual cycle’s “uncomfortable, awkward, and sometimes debilitating” symptoms; seem to necessitate a strong explanation for the evolution of the feature. Not only is it hard to find a theory that explains why just a few mammals find it more evolutionarily advantageous to menstruate, it’s difficult to come up with a theory that explains why all those other mammals haven’t found it more efficient as well.

Now There’s a Machine That Simulates Menstruation…Finally?

by Alanna Bennett | 11:13 am, July 29th, 2011

Guys, do you ever wish you could peek into the experience of a woman and try menstruation for a while? Girls, do you wish you could be on your period more often? No?
