I can't decide. Cruel yarn abuse or thought-provoking craftivism?

I'm hoping she be using a non-scratchy fibre. I am not grossed out by the menstruation part, but I am kinda worried about the fibres she's using vis a vis health of her bits.

I like it.

The comments on YT are all "EEEW GROSS" so you've got to love her for the troll.

Yeah, the response on Ravelry was many, many copies of the "Nopetopus" gif. If nothing else, it is a greeeaaaaat troll!

This is AWESOME! I fucking love it. My first thought is that if my awesome badass friend Space Cowboy was a woman, this is the kind of art he would do (his most recent piece was an elaborate gun quilt).

Actually, the troll element IS part of the art. The responses to the menstrual blood in particular are the part that gets me, as most adult women menstruate, and it's oh so taboo for something that happens to cis women and some transmen every fucking month from age eleven to menopause. tis biology, ffs

the reaction to my cloth pad and cup using ways in the majority of cases is all the EWW.

I guess it was similar with the chick who saves her menstrual blood and paints with it and that chick who sewed a teddy bear out of the placenta for her baby. All the squick for a natural function of the bodies, about something natural. Now people have something to really be squicked about. :P

South Park had a bit like this years back.  Some enterpriskng souls sold the local pinks on "Cherokee hair tampons" durinf a natural products fad.

On the craftivism level I think it is a thing to draw attention too.  Personal care for a lot of us comes in sterile packages from big manufacturing.  There is a good lesson in thinking how to keep clean and healthy without those products.

Note I am not saying that we should all make our own toothpaste, throw out our deordorant, or give up
TP for re washable shitrags.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

true. I've taken to making my own washcloths and cleaning cloths for the house.

I totally crocheted some eye makeup remover/facial pads too.

Yeah, might not always have packs of handiwipes for these things. 

I need to nail down the finer point of lye soap
