But I'm not quite converted yet. Unicorns will not be the thing that does it for me. *other cup brands are available

Huge amounts of money and time would have been devoted to it. Treatments for dismenorhea, fibroids, endometriosis, etc would be a top priority. Being able to still work, run, or generally function at all would be considered a laudable achievement.
