Interesting; a journal with images made from menstrual blood:

Why is it that the thought of using menstrual blood for painting seems icky, whereas using blood from a cut doesn't so much? Is it because menstrual blood is old, used, a waste product discarded by the body, whereas blood from a cut is "fresh"? Or because of which bodily region it comes out of? Or is it due to the association of menstruation with "uncleanness"?

Found a link there to the website for "Instead", which I hadn't heard of before. Looks even harder to insert and remove than the diva/lunacup/keeper... I need to give mine a try again. Never was able to get it in, but I only tried it a few times.
