Dear Madame X, I started using a menstrual cup and I noticed that my blood is really, really dark and viscous, rather like molasses. Otherwise I’m completely fine. Because it’s the first month I’ve used it I have no idea if it’s always been like this, or if this indicates some sort of medical ...

Surely many women will feel it’s ridiculous to order a false hymen in the mail, but for others coming from cultures where pre-marital sex is unacceptable, it may be a blessing. For just $29.95, women can order a fake hymen from ...

Like all girls, I got a bit worried when I first got my period. The fact that it arrived on my first day at new school probably didn’t help. It wasn’t quite a freak-out because my friends had started getting it in the past months and were still living perfectly normal lives. One of them ...

Dear Madame X, I like to down on girls when they have their period and obviously part of the fun of it is the mess. Is it possible to get HIV this way? I am a single guy at the moment so I don’t know these girls well enough to get tested with them. Red ...
