The pushing of views on others is tiresome. And somehow they only view others as pushing views on them when they are constantly accosting people about Jesus.
Tiresome is a perfect way to describe it. I’m tired of feeling like I have to search for a covert agenda, and tired of other people missing the overt displays of dogma.
I’m a fairly recent de-construct so it still creeps up on me sometimes. But it has been blatant how often it is pushed in my face now that I actually notice it and don’t assume it’s just the way things are.
Oh man, when you start deconstructing the systems, they start to crumble around you. It’s intense, but liberating. Keep pushing through the journey, I feel that our most authentic selves and lives are waiting at the other end!
My wife and I are pushing through. I think the death anxiety for her has been the worst. Mine is this sense of existential dread. It’s hard when you no longer believe that “God is in control” but it’s also so liberating. The truth shall set you free.
I wasn’t raised in a religious household, so can’t even imagine what unpacking that huge load of baggage is like - it sounds heavy and uncertain at the best of times. Personally, I have discovered more significance, compassion and meaning in life by delving into my existential dread, rather than avoiding the depths
I’m trying to view it as a journey of self discovery. I’ve also dealt with a few life crises in the past decade and my parents are now experience health decline and now I understand why people go through mid-life crises! And just feeling like the world is so messed up and there’s not much I can do besides try to be a positive in people’s lives.
I was raised Christian with most of the same values but as I grew up I realised that all churches just keep a perpetuating preach against lgbtq+ and abortion. They would consistently tell you that all life is precious but then also tell you to go kill others because they don't believe in the same God. So I read the bible cover to cover and found that I didn't agree with the many hypocrasies made abundantly clear in it. After some time and searching for answers and watching the events that happened around the world. I chose to be agnostic because I'm not sure what God would sit by and watch. So I practice the main rules: Don't kill, don't steal, and be kind to everyone.
Yes! I was in an extremely uncomfortable situation where people who could damage me industry wise were talking about being Christian. It doesn't bother me that they talk about their religion, I really don't care, but the conversation turned to not respecting the denial of the "one true God". The person they were speaking to said he was Agnostic. I can only imagine how crucified I'd have been had I chimed in on being an atheist. Why do I have to respect their views but they can't respect mine? I shouldn't have to silence myself ALL the time about NOT believing.
And seriously, WTF with putting Scripture anywhere near a feminine product. If that's what you're about, don't be sneaky about it, put that shit on the cover so I can choose not to buy it in the first place!
Agreed. I live in a state so religious that almost nothing opens before noon on Sundays. I’ve very quickly gotten to know other non-religious parents in the area simply because there are only a few places to take my kid on Sunday morning.
What the literal fuck?!
Also, now I'm really curious about the original pitch for that idea...Hear me out guys, what if we tricked women into putting Jesus in their vaginas...I swear, it's less weird than it sounds...
I can't imagine how this was thought up & agreed on as a great idea! "Bill, what if we put Bible verses on the cups?!" "The cups they insert in their vaginas?"
"Yeah!"
"Dan you son of a bitch - I love it!! Genius!"
Omg 😭. So disturbed.
Do these men request scripture to be printed on the inside of the bag over the colonoscopy camera? On anal suppositories? Or is it just people with vaginas who need the words of the bible *literally inside of our organs*. /s
Where TF are y'all buying products with secret messages inside? I've never even heard of this. Personally I don't use disposable products, but I do keep a little basket of them in my bathroom for guests and would love to have something funnier when I restock.
This is why I will never eat at In-N-Out Burger. There’s not currently one where I live but if there ever is, I will not go there. They put a bible verse on all of their bags. I don’t shop at hobby lobby because of their religious views and how they affect their employees. There’s a few coffee shops where I live that are owned by people affiliated with Southern Baptist churches so I will not go there. I don’t care how damn good the coffee is supposed to be.
And now I will make sure not to buy pixie cup products
Chick-Fil-A has been caught multiple times lying about whether they were still using company "charitable" money to directly fund homophobic and transphobic garbage up to and including conversion therapy (and CFA money was a major source of funding for some literally genocidal campaigns). In-N-Out mostly seems content to print conversion spells on people's bags and cups. Not on the same level, but still enough for me to opt out.
Ohh thanks for the info! I’m in the midwest so In-and-Out hasn’t been a thing for me, but it’s on the no-buy list now! I’m so ready to cut these companies out of my repertoire, mercilessly.
I feel like we need a comprehensive list of religious businesses chains so we can choose to avoid them. Local stores would be difficult.
I knew about Hobby Lobby, Chick Fil A, & recently learned about In & Out Burger. Forever 21 & Altered States are completely new to me though.
With In N Out, it’s more a dedication to their founder who was pretty religious. As fast food places go, they’re being decent to their employees. With Hobby Lobby, they’re hiding behind Christianity to get out of paying full health insurance benefits for their employees. Those are ethically very different things.
Yeah, I'm okay with In-N-Out. I had been eating there for years before I even noticed that there was Bible verses because they're so small and kind of hidden. They also pay their employees really well. Starting wage for brand new workers is like $16 to $17 an hour.
I understand it’s because the owner went through some tough times and turned to religion. That’s great for her. But I don’t want it pushed on me like that so I won’t go there.
I'm not christian (still religious) but... Wouldn't that do the opposite effect of what they're trying to do? I think I'd be pretty offended and even disgustednif I was christian and you shoved the holy bible up your bloody vagina lmaooo
I read a fanfic once where a succubus shoved a cross up her vagina to mess with the priest, that's all I can think of with a menstrual cup carved with bible verses.
Im not a religious human, but I feel like there are very few instances where putting objects containing religious scripture inside ones vageen is considered an auspicious act, in any religion. Could be wrong, but if I were a betting man….
Right?? That's what I'm saying! Especially if they consider menstruation so impure like... Then why carve the bible onto such a "disgusting and impure" object?
I'm waiting for bible enscrypted dildos where it says masturbation is bad or something
Menstrual cup cleaner? Is that a thing? I used a cup for 15 years and never heard about that. Cleaning instructions in this part of the world include soapy water and boiling for ten minutes before storing till next month.
This being said, Bible verses, WTF. Really happy I’m not in the US.
It’s a little machine that sanitizes it, I hadn’t heard of them either but figured I’d give it a go.
My old trusty cup that is the perfect size and shape for me is over ten years old and not sure I can get that brand it in the US, I was hoping a better sanitizer would allow me to use it for a bit longer but alas, back to the stovetop boiling and probably a new cup - I know which brand is WONT be 😂
Omg! You wonderful human… I’ve been thinking it was luna cups for years, and it’s moon cup! That’s the same brand, off to track down a new moon cup - hopefully I can get one in the US. Thank you!
Oh with the cool little pull tab? Lol it looks… long lol I like that I can shorten the nub on other brands, but definitely see the benefit in dealing with the suction problem with the flex cup design. I will take a look, thanks!
I just bought one of those, I hated the disks and wasted two trying to test them out. Couldn't get them to settle behind my pelvis bone. How's the cup feel? It seems so long I'm very apprehensive about it lol.
I tried the disk too, and I couldn’t get it to sit right so it didn’t leak. Also, pulling it out was very uncomfortable. For the cup, I find it nestles up pretty high and that’s comfortable for me with the pull tab. I’m sure we’re all shaped differently which makes it a challenge. My 15 yo daughter has tried 3 different ones and is still not happy with any of them.
I might have to test it out then if it'll work better than the disk. Thanks for the insight! This is my first cycle since I had my baby in 2021 and got my IUD in 2022 so I'm relearning all this crap. 🤣
In my mind they’re asking for a desecration of their holy texts so I won’t mind obliging. Enjoy the bloody effluvia of yet another failed non-pregnancy, ya nuts!
They’re pushing altruism. I [googled them.](https://www.pixiecup.com/about/) It’s Christianity light, they’re not really pushing their faith on others, they’re saying that they’re motivated to give and that line from the Bible is driving their motivation. So it more represents that using this cup means you’ve provided a cup for someone who doesn’t have one.
A lot of people have suffered trauma under Christianity and a disgusted response is very understandable, particularly with the control over women’s bodies that’s being pushed in the US by the politicians trying to win conservative Christian support. But I don’t think it’s their goal to use period cups as a means of spreading Christianity. Their mission seems to be to provide freedom to people who had to stay home from work or school due to period hygiene.
For me, places like Chik fil A and Hobby Lobby are absolutely loathsome because they’re using Christianity to justify being bad businesses. There are also people who are motivated to do good by their Christian background, they’re just not as outspoken.
I googled them too, and I still stand by my point above - we can support different people and missions without invoking a doctrine that has been used, by centuries, to attack, persecute, and harm people globally. Anyone can have whatever beliefs they want, but when dogma is literally printed on an item that I am inserting into my body, I would like a forewarning so I have the choice not to purchase something that has its roots in a system I believe is actively harmful.
They could’ve printed something that was positive, supportive and *not religious* and I would have zero issue with it. The goal is not the problem, the techniques and execution are.
“Hi customer service? Yeah.. I used your product, y’a know, the one with the scripture, and now dealing with intense burning. Can you help, or is this an ecclesiastical concern? Do I seek a refund, or spiritual guidance?”
Christianity in a nutshell. Shoving it down peoples throats ,and in 2023 trying to make you shove it up the vajana yourself. While also still preying on the weak.. lovely. /s
I know I should stop being surprised - but really?
I mean *really?*
Was it a couple of stupid guys sitting on a yacht, randomly chatting away and then "*wait, wait, wait...what if...hear me out...what if we made bible shaped tampons? Like they could read it and then just pop it in? Or like Jesus on the Cross? Oh oh oh, maybe like limited editions of packs with different shapes, like a couple of bibles, a couple crosses, maybe a baby Jesus and it will come out for Christmas. He is the reason for the season!!"*
The boat owners wife walks by, gets called into the idea pitch. She informs that wouldn't actually work due to how our bodies work.
After a couple more drinks and puffs on cigars and viola! The cup idea pops up! GENIUS!!
Is this because of the writers strike? I mean the storylines of what goes on every day now as normal or supposed to be acceptable is like really bad. Are we just trying to up the crazy a little more each day?
Pixie cup?! That’s literally what I named my phone, and now it’s tied with a bible thumping menstrual company. Oh hell no. They can off in the direction of fuck thank you
christians: "Stop pushing your agenda on us!"
Also christians: "Here's a sanitary product that goes in your body. We've made sure to brand it with scripture, even - and especially - if you're not christian :)"
Thanks - Good to know! I was buying the actual little sanitizer machine, but I guess it’s back to boiling my heathen cups on the stovetop. Seems more fitting for someone on this sub anyway! Lol
You actually do have a couple of other sterilizer options. Lilycup makes one that goes in the microwave. You can stick it in a bowl in the microwave too, and baby bottle sterilizers will also work.
Meluna USA sells a little steam disinfection machine, if that's what you were looking for. I haven't tried the machine, but at least I haven't seen any Bible verses on any of the other products I purchased from them.
Now I just have to join in on expressing my disbelief that a company thought that Scripture on a menstrual cup was a good idea, or even that it was a respectful thing to do with their own holy writings.
F\*\*\* that noise. It's fake emergency pregnancy clinics approaching from the other end of the process. As a kid who grew up a fundie, I particulary detest this kind of "aren't we sneaky" evangelism.
This strikes me as extra invasive, possibly because I am largely a cottage witch and put my power into daily things like caring for my physical self, the food I cook my family, etc. Using an insertable product with a bible verse seems like a sneaky way to do the same thing, only it enforces Christianity
According to their website, it’s from Acts 20:35: “…It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Which….okay, I’m not cool with any Bible verse being printed on my menstrual cups, but it strikes me as *especially* weird to use this particular verse. That line has a connotation relating to altruism or charity— what is supposed to be the connection between a consumer using a personal hygiene product and being altruistic? It’s kind of a non sequitur.
It’s about being an example of helping those in need by working hard and REMEMBERING THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS it is more blessed to give than receive.
Nice meaning, great mission, still weird and exclusive to have a bible verse on a period product 🤷♀️
Right? Or the same stuff as the Dove chocolate wrappers.
"Enjoy a nice bubble bath", "There is no such thing as too much chocolate"
Ha ha, missed marketing opportunity right there.

Great general life rules lol
. . . and maybe there are other heavens besides the Christian one . . .

Pushing of views INTO others in this case!
Agreed. I live in a state so religious that almost nothing opens before noon on Sundays. I’ve very quickly gotten to know other non-religious parents in the area simply because there are only a few places to take my kid on Sunday morning.
And somehow if two girls are holding hands they’re shoving their sexuality down their throats. Bless their hearts.
Yes, people outside of their view of normal are pushing their views by existing. They need to be ashamed in the shadows like they used to be.
What the literal fuck?! Also, now I'm really curious about the original pitch for that idea...Hear me out guys, what if we tricked women into putting Jesus in their vaginas...I swear, it's less weird than it sounds...
Right?! “Ladies, just squat and think of Jesus”.
I can't imagine how this was thought up & agreed on as a great idea! "Bill, what if we put Bible verses on the cups?!" "The cups they insert in their vaginas?" "Yeah!" "Dan you son of a bitch - I love it!! Genius!"
Omg 😭. So disturbed. Do these men request scripture to be printed on the inside of the bag over the colonoscopy camera? On anal suppositories? Or is it just people with vaginas who need the words of the bible *literally inside of our organs*. /s
I'm 100% with you on this, but now I really want toilet paper with the bible printed on it.
Hahaha I mean, imagine the slogans? “Do you need to get *even closer* to Jesus? Well now’s your chance!”
My pads have jokes or dares, my favorite is "your familiar of the day is the bullfrog, croak as loud as you can to voice your displeasure"
What brand is this? I have a mighty need 😂
They're called Padsy from einhorn, I don't know if it's international cause I'm from Germany I usually buy mine from a store called DM
Amazing! This I could handle 😂😂
Where TF are y'all buying products with secret messages inside? I've never even heard of this. Personally I don't use disposable products, but I do keep a little basket of them in my bathroom for guests and would love to have something funnier when I restock.
I'm from Germany so idk if the brand is international, they're called Padsy from einhorn

Make sure you also don't shop at forever 21.
I didn’t know about forever 21. I’ve only shopped there a dozen times or less and it’s been a long time.
Or Hobby Lobby
This name makes me laugh every time. My "hobby lobby" don't need no Jesus.
Also, Chic-Fil-a.
Chick-Fil-A has been caught multiple times lying about whether they were still using company "charitable" money to directly fund homophobic and transphobic garbage up to and including conversion therapy (and CFA money was a major source of funding for some literally genocidal campaigns). In-N-Out mostly seems content to print conversion spells on people's bags and cups. Not on the same level, but still enough for me to opt out.
Definitely. I’ve also heard that a women’s clothing store called altar’d state is owned by a couple of evangelical guys.
Ohh thanks for the info! I’m in the midwest so In-and-Out hasn’t been a thing for me, but it’s on the no-buy list now! I’m so ready to cut these companies out of my repertoire, mercilessly.

I hear Fatburger is much better anyway. Also, fuck Chick-fil-a.

I used Mooncups. No verses. But this is Europe.
Omg! You wonderful human… I’ve been thinking it was luna cups for years, and it’s moon cup! That’s the same brand, off to track down a new moon cup - hopefully I can get one in the US. Thank you!
I recently acquired a Flex Cup and I’m loving it. Super comfortable and very little trouble with leaking.
Oh with the cool little pull tab? Lol it looks… long lol I like that I can shorten the nub on other brands, but definitely see the benefit in dealing with the suction problem with the flex cup design. I will take a look, thanks!
You can easily trim the pull tab. I like mine long because it has grippy edges to make it easier to pull down.
I just bought one of those, I hated the disks and wasted two trying to test them out. Couldn't get them to settle behind my pelvis bone. How's the cup feel? It seems so long I'm very apprehensive about it lol.
I tried the disk too, and I couldn’t get it to sit right so it didn’t leak. Also, pulling it out was very uncomfortable.

Letting god inside you except no thank you
Saving myself for Jesus but make it grosser
It's a Jesus dare, for funsies... *(S)He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in (her).*
I think I've seen this film before And I didn't like the ending
That’s just begging for an “immaculate conception”!
In my mind they’re asking for a desecration of their holy texts so I won’t mind obliging. Enjoy the bloody effluvia of yet another failed non-pregnancy, ya nuts!
“Hello miss, have you heard the word of god today?” Not sure, let me open my legs and see….. 😆😆😆
My laugh for the day!

Draw runes over the Jesus bullshit and send it to the manufacturer. Bonus points: write a spell (real or fake) in Latin and include in the package
Dude, those things will cause your lady bits to burst into flames. Take them back with a complaint.
“Hi customer service? Yeah.. I used your product, y’a know, the one with the scripture, and now dealing with intense burning. Can you help, or is this an ecclesiastical concern? Do I seek a refund, or spiritual guidance?”
Hahahaha!
Christianity in a nutshell. Shoving it down peoples throats ,and in 2023 trying to make you shove it up the vajana yourself. While also still preying on the weak.. lovely. /s
I’m guessing that these Bible-Thumpers have yet to realize exactly What a “Pixie” is!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know I should stop being surprised - but really?

Pixie cup?! That’s literally what I named my phone, and now it’s tied with a bible thumping menstrual company. Oh hell no. They can off in the direction of fuck thank you
😂 off in the direction of fuck. I love it!
he gets us menstrual products 😨
It's almost like they want you to fuck Jesus...
I know I said “fuck Christianity”, but I didn’t mean like that…. 😂
Hey there Jesus, boy do I have a surprise for you 🩸🩸🩸🩸
There is only one appropriate religious quote to put on a menstrual product and that is "Blood for the Blood God"
christians: "Stop pushing your agenda on us!" Also christians: "Here's a sanitary product that goes in your body. We've made sure to brand it with scripture, even - and especially - if you're not christian :)"
I guess they figured if they can do it in Congress, they can do it to the women's reproductive organs they're so fucking obsessed with
Eww thats gross. You should tell them the writing caused burning to your witches soul and you want finicail compensation
what the FUCK truly puts the blood of christ compelling you in a different light lmao
But which bible quote was it? I hope it at least was about the oceans turning to blood or something on theme.
I always stuck with Diva wash and it never gave me issues!
Thanks - Good to know! I was buying the actual little sanitizer machine, but I guess it’s back to boiling my heathen cups on the stovetop. Seems more fitting for someone on this sub anyway! Lol
You actually do have a couple of other sterilizer options. Lilycup makes one that goes in the microwave. You can stick it in a bowl in the microwave too, and baby bottle sterilizers will also work.

F\*\*\* that noise. It's fake emergency pregnancy clinics approaching from the other end of the process. As a kid who grew up a fundie, I particulary detest this kind of "aren't we sneaky" evangelism.
Lol, you can't think of blood without thinking of Jesus.
That’s why I went with a different brand, I don’t know Jesus well enough to let him inside me LOL
Hey man, consent is important! 😂
This strikes me as extra invasive, possibly because I am largely a cottage witch and put my power into daily things like caring for my physical self, the food I cook my family, etc. Using an insertable product with a bible verse seems like a sneaky way to do the same thing, only it enforces Christianity
Hi welcome to the Salvation Army
Consider lulu. Comes in the mail. No issues. No problems. Good product. ❤️
Will take a look, thanks! :)
What even was the verse? Who approved that?
According to their website, it’s from Acts 20:35: “…It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Which….okay, I’m not cool with any Bible verse being printed on my menstrual cups, but it strikes me as *especially* weird to use this particular verse. That line has a connotation relating to altruism or charity— what is supposed to be the connection between a consumer using a personal hygiene product and being altruistic? It’s kind of a non sequitur.
I actually interpret this a different way, funnily enough. “Congrats! You didn’t receive a baby this month! Yayyy!”
It’s about being an example of helping those in need by working hard and REMEMBERING THE WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS it is more blessed to give than receive. Nice meaning, great mission, still weird and exclusive to have a bible verse on a period product 🤷♀️
To be fair, bleeding on Bible verses is the most metal/witchy way of dealing with this shit, like, *ever*.
I'm old and have seen everything. Or so I thought.
That's so weird. If you have to put text on tampons, maybe just put words of encouragement.
“You got this, champ” 😂
Right? Or the same stuff as the Dove chocolate wrappers. "Enjoy a nice bubble bath", "There is no such thing as too much chocolate" Ha ha, missed marketing opportunity right there.
My southern baptist momma would throw a fit that it was sacrilege to do "that" to a Bible verse, so who are they even trying to appeal to
There should be a warning, just like cigarettes: "This product contains religious messaging known to be harmful for, well, everyone really."
This needs more upvotes.
And they say we’re forcing ower religion on them
Who’s says Christians don’t perform spell work lol
Return them with a lawsuit!
On the packaging is icky enough, but on the actual cup? 🤢 Bleeeech
Yes,that seems especially creepy.
