As a matter of fact, I didn't need to know that. I liked my scenario better.

Jph are you one of those guys who wont go tampon/pad shopping for their woman?
I was just thinking, if she wore a tampon daily, wouldn't that cut down on pregnancy risk? 
Well unless she has one of those guys who like red wings with cotton.

I'm just kinda suprised that you haven't caught on yet to the fact that God doesn't want you to have a kid. Apparantly he has demonstrated his willingness to keep it from happening by any means necessary in the past.
What? What'd I say?
This coming from the amazing unemployed moocher. Find a bigger shtick, that one isnt cutting it.

I may not feel it, but what of the sloshing sound?
If you are bleeding enough to "slosh" you should really seek emergency help. We dont slosh, its not like a balloon full of ickiness ya know.
Sponge, pill, shot.... Whatever happened to the old ways? When I was young we had the Pull-out. Worked great, and good for the teeth and gums.

What did women do about their bleeding vaginas before all these wonderful feminine products were made?
I guess just bleed all over the place...
Also, what a fUcked up corporate enterprise to be involved in. But I imagine it's pretty profitable.

I have no idea, I'm guessing they probally either stayed in bed with towels under them, or they fashioned some kind of make shift pad.
Around the 1800's they were using a cloth pad, much like diaper
When I was a cashier in my younger days a guy came up to the counter with an armful of goods and underneath the pile was a package of pads. He looked really really embarrased and uncomfortable. I guess I could have just rung him through as fast as possible and send him on his way but I called in a price check on pads and held the line up and people were looking at him.
Then I took him home and told him he wasnt hawt enough to have sex with.

I'd say that probably worked.

I never trusted IUDs. I've never seen anyone able to definitively say how they work, hence I view them about as favorably as I would voodoo or wearing a scary mask to frighten off the stork.
You know, modern IUDs really don't deserve the bad rep they've gotten. The early ones definitely had problems, but I had to do a report on them for my human sexuality class a couple years back, and it was interesting to note that, yes, while there is a small risk with IUDs, the chances of being rendered infertile or dead as a result of pregnancy and childbirth are much higher than the same chances as a result of an IUD mishap.
I think the squeamishness is due to the nature of IUDs. The idea of putting a foreign object not only in one's body but in one's UTERUS just scares people. Add onto that the fact that there is a minute risk of the thing working its way into or even completely through the myometrium and people just shudder and say "no thanks." Then, of course, there's the horror tales about the early ones in which no one ever seems to mention that modern IUDs are much safer.
As for how they work, here:

The presence of a device in the uterus prompts the release of leukocytes and prostaglandins by the endometrium. These substances are hostile to both sperm and eggs; the presence of copper increases this spermicidal effect. Although the only experimentally demonstrated effect is spermicidal/ovicidal, it is possible the IUD may rarely prevent the development of embryos.
In other words, the prevent fertilization and as a last resort, they interfere with implantation.
Danger of expulsion is greater if you haven't been pregnant than if you have, so its better for women that have already had kids.

A more primitive form of this you mean.
Yes, cotton pads are still around, and in fact are gaining popularity, especially among the earthmuffins. A lot of women tend to chafe because disposables don't breathe, and get rashes from synthetic fibers. These are actually quite economical as well. Their "top of the line" package is $190 and they're meant to last for 5 years. If you spend $5 a month on pads/tampons/what have you for 5 years, you're out $300, so you actually come out ahead, even including the cost of one load of laundry a month.
I've known several women who have used these and swear they will never go back to disposable pads. I'm thinking of investing in some myself after Ambrya 2.0 makes her appearance.

Depends on the state of drunkeness of the admirer.

Also depends on the possibility that the admirer was one of Barkingturtle's ancestors, which would have an opposite reaction from the norm....
