Some news has reached queerguru’s office from across the Pond that we feel the need to share with you even though the very thought of it will simply horrify  a great many of our (male) readers.  So here goes.  Some bright spark has invented a tampon that you do not need to remove before you have sex.

WARNING :  for those of you that are even distressed at the very mention of the word …….tampon that is, not sex …… then read no further.

These new ‘little helpers’ are called Flex because there are evidently very flexible.  They are shaped like discs that ‘contour to the female body’ meaning they absorb ‘you know what’ but won’t get in the way when you are getting it on. Evidently they create a soft barrier that temporarily blocks the flow of menstruation.

For those who care about these things, we can assure you that the makers claim that they are also hypoallergenic, BPA-free, and have not been associated with toxic shock syndrome.  If this is not enough information (!) then we should tell you that evidently you can wear a Flex tampon for up to 12 hours.

You can pre-order your Flex now, and if you really haven’t believed what the gay men at queerguru have told you, then you can also get all the info here straight from the horses mouth.
