#9  "So-called 'Menstrual Extraction' was first described by feminist activists Lorraine Rothman and Carol Downer in the 1970s as a way to perform an at-home abortion before Roe v Wade.

They described how to construct a contraption - called a Del Em - using a syringe, a cannula, a speculum, and a jar.

Once abortions became legal across the US, 'ME' was largely sidelined.

But as Mic reported in 2016, it has seen a resurgence in popularity, this time being pitched as a method to end periods early."

Re-purposing can be a beautiful thing...but not in this case.

#2  Don't stick a running vacuum in you, and don't stick parts of you in a running vacuum either.
