yet another icon :)
Hey all,

I was browsing through the icons tag and decided to make my own diva cup icon with the images from Diva Cup's website. I'm still not quite satisfied with it yet for some reason. I'll probably fiddle with it some more...

Check it out:

Some little things!
Hi there!
I started using my Diva cup about 2 years ago, at first it took me a bit to get used to, but now I love it to death and I don't know what I'd do without it! It's crazy comfortable, easy to clean, I have to change it way less than a pad or tampon and never have to carry backups in my pockets or purse like a squirrel anymore.

I also just switched to cloth pads and I've never slept so well on my period in my whole life! It doesn't even feel like I have my period, I just feel like I'm wearing underwear!

So to show my love I made a couple of little animated gifs:







I'm really glad this community is around! Hooray ladies!

another icon...
I was bored yesterday, so I visited the Instead website & nicked enough images to make myself an icon:



If anyone wants to use it, feel free. :)

cup love icons
Hi everyone!

As some of you might remember, I did a research project about alternative menstrual products a couple months ago. That's finished and now I've moved on to another one. This time, I'm going to study menstrual cups specifically and it will be a much longer paper than before. Eventually (probably not until fall semester '08), I'll even attempt to interview people about their love of menstrual cups. I'm not quite there yet, however. Right now I'm doing some really preliminary research.

I've noticed that some of you have userpics featuring cups. I'd like to start a collection of them to analyze (eeep, don't be afraid) and for something neat to look at when I eventually present my research. I will give credit to the artists, but I won't do anything invasive like link to your livejournal in my paper.

So if you want, show me your icons of cuppy goodness. It's for the good of academic womankind. :)

Facebook group and Mooncup Icons!
I just made a Mooncup Facebook group! 'I Heart My Mooncup (Even If That Squicks You)' :D

http://oxford.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2209684869

I'm actually an active member here on another account, but I don't want it to get associated with my full name (group founder and currently only member :P) as it deals with sex as well as bleeding and such. Just in case anyone thinks my drive-by promo is suspicious, I promise you all know me.

So... join! Mooncup pride! Squick the poor buggers who follow the link from your profile! possibly even convert a couple of them (...yeah right, eh?). DO EEET.


There's another group for the rest of you non-mooncup types here.

EDIT:

I'm on a roll! I just made icons. LOTS of icons. Gank and edit freely, don't give me credit, but I would appreciate being told which ones you liked enough to take :) oh and of course don't hotlink. I made lots of similar ones because tastes differ, and you might want to not have quite the same icon as someone else. Send me any other photos and I can easily put them on the same base.



piles of icons - Mooncup, Lunette and Diva. New text ideas welcomed )

Icons
I'm sorry if this post isn't allowed, and can be deleted if so...

I was just wondering if anyone has any extra or fun cup icons -- I'm looking mainly for a diva cup icon.

Thanks! I will give credit, of course. :-)

Mooncup Icon
Feel free to take this little icon I made for Mooncup. I figured since other people were posting their's recently, I'd post mine. :) I was going to make one for the other cups, but I don't have time right now.

Since there were some complaints about the font, I edited the cup icons I made. They still have the same URLs, so if you posted one somewhere using the code I gave, it'll change on its own, you don't have to mess with it. If you took one for an icon and want the updated version, then go right on ahead.

Insomnia + geekery = icons...

One for every cup! )

P.S.: I hope it's cool with the mods that I included a way to promote this place. If not, I'll remove that part of the entry and only leave up the icons.

Times article about Mooncups, and some admin stuff
I rang Mooncup to ask if they're investigating the UK Mooncup/US Moon Cup business, and they said they're too busy with all the extra business generated by this article in The Times!

I've also just reported three eBay sellers for keyword spamming (brand name misuse), so with any luck the eBay situation will get less confusing soon.

Does anyone with artistic ability feel like drawing a generic cup to be used in a possible new icon, so that it can be brand-free? Or possibly doing strange graphics modifications to an existing cup photo, making it look so weird that you can't tell which one it is.

I'm working on the user info at the moment. I've just started putting in a more comprehensive list of international suppliers where I can find them (it's still patchy, let me know if you know of any that I've missed), and I'll probably add a picture of the Lunette next. We could really do with a picture of an inserted cup which is anatomically proportionate, as most of the ones out there have the vagina as being much longer than the cup than it really is - in the case of the Lunette's pictures, six times longer, which I calculate would leave my uterus about level with my bra!

I might even get started on the FAQ if I decide to go for real work avoidance. I think one of the first things we need is a comparison of the different cups, perhaps in table form, with size, capacity, and notable differences (e.g. stem length).

I was just writing in my LJ (I'm excited about the prospect of finally being able to buy a divacup this weekend, and right on time for my period), and I wrote "yay divacup!" which then made me think "Viva la Diva!" Hence the icon:




If you take it, please credit me in the comment of the userpic.

i made an icon...it's got a little underlying humour. if you want to take it, i appreciate credit.

I only have the basic Windows Paint to work with, but here are two icons made from an image from the Divacup website.  The first is the base (you can add your own text or pretty it up if you like) and the second is the only thing I could manage with my crappy program.  :P

I haven't seen many Diva icons, so I made a few. Very plain and basic, but HEY! They're multilingual!



Comment & cred are nice things. Enjoy.
