    It's not better than the Diva Cup. I love my Diva Cup, because I have heavy periods and I barely feel anything there. AHHHHH. If only the high dose painkillers would work for the pain...

    @DutchessOfDork: I love mine, too. It's even more discreet, in that I can wear it if I even THINK I'm going to get my period, and then not worry for the rest of the day.
    Do you think we can watch movies on the beach while wearing it?

    @spamanda: For the most part I love tampons because they're so comfy but I hate not being able to put one in when I start to feel crampy but haven't started bleeding yet. Sometimes I get that "period feel" a day or two before it starts and it's either go around with a pad on or risk staining my undies while I wait for the actual blood to start before putting the tampon in. One more reason to think about investing in DivaCup!

    @Sadako: It's a wonderful investment! I've had mine for three years now. Keep in mind that there are a lot of different kinds of cups, the diva is actually one of the longer ones, so you might want to do some research before you choose one to spend money on.

    Does anyone remember the plastic holders for tampons? They held 2 at a time and looked like a glasses case. It's where I hid my pot in high-school. My mom just figured it was tampons and never got any wiser. I still have one today and it still holds the weed.

    I always lived in rented houses growing up and they always had the landlord's unwanted random crap stored in some dark corner, which my siblings and I would climb and play on.

    As soon as they showed the "big game" I thought for sure, the Snuggie offices must have come with these bleachers stored in the basement. Wouldn't want them to go to waste.

    Perhaps if he was actually tying his scarf properly he wouldn't be so chilled!

    *disclaimer: I had no idea how to properly tie a scarf until I moved to San Francisco from the south and had to wear a scarf daily to avoid freezing to death ...in JULY.

    Who puts on a coat, but nothing that covers their chest?
    I think this is stealth marketing for cold weather flashers.

    Since we're talking about ads that don't go over well, does anyone remember Corn Nuts' ill fated "bust a nut" campaign from about 1997?
    Apparently company execs had no clue what it meant, and the jingle was amazing.

    These already exist and they're called gaiters. And they are especially welcome when walking the dogs at 5:30am.

    @sybann: I'm pretty sure gaiters are to keep your ankles warm, not your neck - they go over your lower legs and the tops of your feet. I've also always referred to these things as dickies.

    @Breamworthy: Yeah, I used to do a lot of cross country skiing and gaiters are critical for keeping snow out of your boots. We call the neck things dickies where I'm from too. I remember getting one for Christmas and being utterly confused as to why I needed a maroon turtlenecked bib.

    @Squabble: Totes weird ya'll - check out Land's End or LL Bean and you'll see columns of fleece sold to put around your neck - called gaiters. They don't have the bib though. I have three - and that's what they're called. And unless they're for seriously HUGE people they are so not for legs.

    @sybann: I've learned something new today! Although when I did some googling to see what they look like, it does look like most places specifically refer to them as "neck gaiters". Makes sense, they serve a similar function as regular gaiters, just for your neck/face instead of ankles/feet.

    What is wrong with those things that are a bit of warm fleece sewn in a circle that you just slip over your head? Nothing! No velcro, no tying...just a big sleeve that you can pull up over your ears and chin, or shove down. Better than a neckie. Better than a scarf.

    Hand-knit cowls, people. Find your favorite Etsy knitter, pay them money, have them craft a nice one for you. Warmth + not looking dorky = win.

    If you're going to make a product in 3 "colors," what compels you to pick gray, blue, and leopard print. That's not technically a color.

    Isn't this just a turtleneck version of a dickie? I don't totally understand the point of this, but then, I don't get the regular snuggie either.

    @Lin-Z [linguist on duty]: My thoughts exactly! This is just an erroneously worn dickie. But do they even make dickies anymore? I remember wearing when I was in 3rd grade (in 1989) but I can't say that I've seen them available for purchase much since I started buying my own clothes. Perhaps we should call this Dickie 2.0 instead?

    My girlfriend is made of awesome. For Channukah last year she knitted me a Doctor Who Scarf. It is 18 feet long and I am a very lucky man.
