I think its a nessecary part of being a women much like urine is a nessecary part of being a human. I view them both in the same way- not repulsed but certainly a 'waste' product.

I don't gaze at it fondly each month if that's what you mean. But I recognise that the process that enables fertility is awesome. How's that for a healthy balance?

Much less gross with a Diva cup than a pad or tampon.

Yes, same way I think wee & poo are gross - they are obviously vital parts of being human (woman...?), but not something I feel bad about flushing down the toilet...

Not gross at all, just a fact of life.

Neither. Just another random bodily fluid.
