I was tickled to see this post today, because coincidentally, earlier I saw an advertisement for a period TENS unit that was bright red and it left me bemused that they felt they needed to make it a special color so everyone knew it was for MENSTRUATION!!! I thought of how you would react and laughed. Anyway, I suspect the tacky color is less objectionable than a big pink tax or an inferior product. Thank you for sharing the information!

Leaving aside the actual point of this, have you found any good makeup tips for the over 50 set?? ;-)

Lots of hydration apparently. Hyaluronic acid is your friend!

And, for me, a light touch with the undereye concealer.

Nuvaring in the urethra?! I don't understand how that's possible (unless someone cut the ring first...)
