“Not to go all Barbie movie on you” Shannon… you can be a feminist. It’s ok. You can support women on this pod. Lmao

Even the late night comedians are talking about seven retention... https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8j8vQT4/

Can you do conspiracy theories on Dubai? I see so many videos on my tik tok where they try to convince people to move there😂 like I don’t get ittttt🐷

I just had the biggest realization that you need to do like a deep dive discussion about rose McGowan and that whole thing somehow and maybe like blinds about her or… you could just do like an entire charmed blinds ep or something I need this we all need this !!!!
Bree
Love these taboo episodes

Omg yes seconding the flex cup. It’s the only one I could get to work and the string is a game changer! I preach about it to all my friends. I honestly think this might be the most life-changing product of my life next to my phone lol. I bought 4 just because I’m so paranoid about losing it or the product being discontinued someday.

I love my Flex cup - instead of just the stem it’s actually a pull string like a tampon that breaks the seal and just makes things easier to remove. It’s also black which I love bc who decided to use light colored silicone for something that is solely responsible for collecting blood

Shannon did you see that Kylie and timothee hard launched at the Beyoncé concert last night !!!!

Hey Shannon I’m currently listening to your face reading ep and respectfully just have to say this one isn’t for me. I know astrology is popular right now but I personally hate these pseudo science - not based in fact trends. Also this topic is coming dangerously close to phrenology. It sounds like this speaker is harmless and this is some older Chinese practice but I don’t find this helpful. I think at best this is baseless and silly and at worst can be viewed as the cousin of eugenics. I am meaning for this to be constructive feedback and I’m sure others disagree and love the episode. Your work is great in general but this one didn’t hit for me. Have an awesome week!

I’ve been using a menstrual cup for 3+ years and LOVE it. It took me almost 6 cycles, maybe even more tbh, to know how to insert it correctly and adjust it when and if I have leaks. Now, i don’t have any leaks and don’t have to worry about ruining a pair of panties lol. I use the Cora Organic cup, it’s the same one I’ve been using for 3 years. With the cup, blood doesn’t smell, certainly not how it does when it gets absorbed into cotton.. not to be gross. Maybe I’ll try the menstrual blood facial next cycle 😜

This is very off topic but did you read Olivia Rodrigo’s recent article in the guardian. It would be worth a read I think.
Lauren Karshner
I respect you, your platform, and beliefs, I hate sounding like I’m womansplaining lol. I feel like I know your heart, so I felt so passionate about hearing your frustration, because I was in the same place! This feedback was only mean to be supportive, my apologies if it came across another way!
Lauren Karshner
Growing up as a fellow white irish American lmao when ur born into this fucked up world democrats really do seem ideal. Then you look at other minorities groups and what they are saying and then go damn the difference between democrats and leftists are PRIVILEGE. It’s like the wizard of oz behind the wall
Lauren Karshner
Ik you like to avoid being political which I respect. I’m no suggesting on a podcast, but to see why people are calling you alt right I encourage you to research how far right self proclaimed “democrats” are perceived in comparison to people who call themselves “leftists”, and the two ideologies. Imo democrats are more centrists than anything, when you really see the whole spectrum.
Lauren V
They talk about hitler and his leadership
Lauren V
You should watch “Eldorado, everything the nazis hate” on Netflix , it’s so good and goes through queer history during nazi reign
Anna Essi
Behind the bastard podcast has a two part episode arc about hitlers sex life, just btw lol
Andrea Garcia
You could literally do an episode on dirt and I’d listen for 3 hrs
Maggielicious
Same! Like, keep it coming please ☺️😊
Polly Vargatoth
Girl DO NOT apologize! These kinds of wacky sexual episodes are my favorite (+ the conspiracies) let's stay weird pls
Shannon McNamara
FRUGOOLP oh my god that’s a genius name
Shannon McNamara
Ahh okay that makes sense!
Corinne Huntley
Also i love the Blossom Cup. You get two and their soft enough that it’s easy to use. If you don’t like such deep set ones I’m also a fan of shorty disc. It’s soft as well as multiple options based on where your cervix is and it’s tab to pull it out is more like a tampon string.
Patricia
So, everybody in favour of Shannon creating Frugoolp?
Corinne Huntley
Let us lefties have some conspiracies too!!

So in terms of certain products during pregnancy ( this is more in terms of drugs etc and products that need clinical testing), I think that it’s not necessarily that the products aren’t safe for pregnant women, but to run clinical trials that include pregnant women is usually unethical, so it might be safe for them to use but they can’t be sure. In those cases, it doesn’t mean to product is any less safe for us!
