Win Free UndiePads
Win a FREE Box of UndiePads!
The Pretty, Practical and Pristine Solution to an Age-Old Problem. Protection you can count on!
The average woman owns approximately 21 pairs of underwear, approximately 10% of women own over 35 pairs! I wonder if that is because we are always worried that the dreaded crimson tide will inevitably stain a majority of them? Maybe, we can just never find the right fit. I must own a million ill-fitting pairs of underwear, 30 or so lingerie outfits, about a dozen G-strings/thongs, and at least 20 pairs of Granny Panties! (I know, I know, but I have NEVER been average! LOL!) Now an innovative new product is available to free up space in our drawers and worries on our minds, UndiePads!
UndiePads are a unique disposable panty with a built-in menstrual pad that provides safe, fresh, all-in-one, leakproof protection. Even on the heaviest days. They provide absolute leakproof, stainproof security! Discreet Toss ‘N’ Go Bags are included and make disposal easy and efficient. The panties themselves are light, comfortable and designed for a beautiful fit. The unique fabric provide plenty of stretchy support, fitting close to the body for a sleek silhouette and providing just enough stretchy support to gently disguise the bloat that sometimes accompanies a menstrual period. UndiePads discreet design helps reinforce a feeling of confidence. The super-absorbent, extra-long pad is part of the integral design. It won’t slide or slip, it stays where it should, and is so comfortable, it’s easy to forget it’s there!
One of the biggest issues women struggle with when choosing between wearing pads or tampons at that time of the month is visible panty lines (vpl). 10% of women have confessed to occasionally having gone “commando” to avoid visible panty lines. VPL can ruin any good outfit, while invisible panty lines will help to enhance your looks by making your figure seem sleeker and sexier. To avoid this common fashion faux pas when choosing a pad option you can wear UndiePads. They are far more comfortable than traditional bulky sanitary napkins, or the winged alternatives, and have a reliable track record when it comes to leakage problems.
My usual routine is to wear a period pad during the day and then switch to a tampon at night, in order to avoid leaks. The big test for me, obviously, was going to be just how good UndiePads worked throughout the night. Before bed I slipped on my new underwear and a tank top, not adding any extra layers between the cute pink panties and the crisp clean sheets, and they felt great. After a night of tossing and turning around I woke up to find that I hadn't leaked one bit! In fact the UndiePads were so super dry and clean I could’ve worn that same pair the rest of the day, no problem.
The UndiePads provide moderate to heavy period protection, quick absorption, and neutralize that nasty period odor. Apparently, you can wear it for up to 12 hours. I don’t think I would go a full half a day unless I had too, but it’s nice to know I could if I needed too! To avoid urinary tract infections (among other things, such as keeping the genital and urinary areas clean), physicians recommend changing underwear at least once a day. Doesn’t everyone change them? I don’t wanna think about that! Ewww, LOL!
It isn’t a subject that most women talk about, but I know that I don’t feel sexy when I’m on the rag. It is not a pretty subject, and can probably be sugar coated a bit (that’s not me!), but when your aunt flo is in town most of us aren’t looking to be in any beauty pageants! I know my man hates it, so there has to be others out there too. Isn’t it about time we do something about it? I want to feel sexy even when I am on my period! UndiePads have answered this dilemma for me.
After all when I have PMS I want to be pampered, so why not do that by giving my vagina a “treat”, lol. Slipping on a new pair of UndiePads is like slipping on a new feeling of luxury! What could be sexier than that? Soft and breathable panties made with Spandex thread makes UndiePads have a sleek, comfortable, sexy fit. The outside of the undies are a pink and fuzzy material (maybe terrycloth, but not your grandma’s terrycloth) and the inside has an extra-long hidden pad. If your vagina could smile, it would!
The Good Stuff about UndiePads:
UndiePads Disposable Panties with Built-In Menstrual Pad are the newest, freshest and most stylish way to make those days of the month a whole lot easier. They look and feel like your regular panties, provide gentle control, extreme coverage and long-term absorbency with advanced leakage- and odor-protection. UndiePads completely eliminate the dangers of Toxic Shock Syndrome and combine new fabric technology with cutting edge design for a menstrual product that’s so complete, so comfortable, and so fresh, you can forget you’re wearing them!
* All-In-One convenience!
* Neutralizes odor!
* Extra-long for maximum coverage!
* Stays in place to prevent bunching (No more VPL!)!
* Quickly absorbs fluid to help keep you dry and protected!
* Breathable material designed for a comfortable, secure fit!
* No more stain removal!
The Bad Stuff about UndiePads:
UndiePads are available in sizes; Small (2/4/6), Medium (8/10), and Large/X-Large (12/14/16), but No Plus Sizes!
The average underwear size for women used to be size 8. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the average American woman, while currently seen as weighing 164lbs. and wearing a size 14, is getting bigger!
The fashion industry is taking notice of this trend, especially when it comes to undergarments. The main brands in the global underwear market include; Calvin Klein, La Senza, DKNY, Princesse Tam Tam, Enamor, Embry Form, Jockey, Victoria’s Secret, Maniform, Wacoal Holdings, Gujin, La Perla, Armani, Wolford, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Etam, Chantelle, Triumph, AB Underwear, and Lovable. The shift has caused many of these retailers to offer larger size options. Let’s hope UndiePads follows suit!
UndiePads were created by women for the everyday woman. There has never been a product, until now, that provides comfort and security in knowing that we women are protected from unexpected accidents. It is the first and only product, designed to help block leaks from side to side, and front to back. No matter which way you toss or turn, you get the maximum leak protection. I highly recommend UndiePads!

All I Want for Christmas is... Five Finger Tees!
When I was choosing which T-Shirt to get from Five Finger Tees it seemed like it took forever. I must have spent hours on the sight laughing until I cried at all the funny tees available! I finally settled on the "Cops Love Me" shirt, because I knew all the boys would have a blast posing for pictures in it. A few of them backed out of an impromptu photo shoot when the Five Finger Tees Shirt arrived, but I have plans to get them in some compromising poses later so be on the look out for those coming soon, lol!
When I ordered my shirt selection it was really simple to choose the color and size. The site is fast and easy to navigate. We were all really surprised how quickly it arrived at the door. Seemed like it took less time to show up then it did to choose the one I wanted!

There are also some sweet shirts that just have nice pictures of exotic animals you might not get to see everyday that might interest you. I like animals, but I am not obsessive like many of my friends, so this is not my favorite section although it could be yours.
I'm an Irish Girl, heck I'd hope you'd know that by just looking at the name of my blog! lol! That is why I LoVe the Irish Shirts section of the Five Finger Tees website. Now I have never been big on Leprechauns, so I skip those, but I adore all the clovers. The drinking shirts are hilarious and will make good gifts for my brothers.

SPANK IT! with The Canker Spanker - Product Review #CankerSores #ColdSores
Have a Canker or Cold Sore?
SPANK IT!
with
The Canker Spanker
If you have ever had a Canker Sore / Cold Sore you know that they are not just painful and uncomfortable, they can be extremely embarrassing. No one wants to leave the house when they have one of these social taboos pulsating around their lips! Until now it has been the practice of Canker Sore / Cold Sore sufferers to hide away like social piranhas in the event of an outbreak, but no longer are the victims of the dreaded Canker Sore / Cold Sore sentenced to a life of weeks at home waiting to heal. That's right, now Canker Sore's / Cold Sore's have no chance of survival with the amazing healing power of The Canker Spanker!
The Canker Spanker aids the body in healing and prevention of Canker Sores and Cold Sores, by increasing the levels of certain minerals and natural oils. The Canker Spanker is a unique alternative to topical products for Oral Cankers and Cold Sores. It has been shown to reduce overall breakouts by 75% if taken daily and decrease healing time by 75% if taken anytime during a breakout.
I have many friends and family members that are plagued with devastating Cold Sores. So far I have been lucky not to get them. I have watched and can sympathize with their traumatic and stigmatizing plight. Would you be surprised to know that 30% of the worlds population suffers from Cold Sores? I was! And while 30% of people get Cold Sores nearly 80% of people are infected with the HSV-1 is the virus responsible for Cold Sores and fever blisters. Most people are not even aware that they have been infected.
I do suffer from agonizing Canker Sores. While having a Canker Sore does not prevent me from showing my face in public, it does keep me from eating and drinking so enjoying family dinners, nights out at the bar, or even just consuming the normal daily nutritional intake becomes a severely challenging chore. It might seem like nothing more then an inconvenience to most, but to those who have been a slave to the mighty Canker Sore know that there is not many things in this world worse than a mouth ulcer!
There is often confusion between what exactly Canker Sores and Cold Sores really are. Amazingly, even though Canker Sores and Cold Sores are very different in appearance and cause they are treated with the same medications. Most Big Pharma medications designed to give relief for the pain of Canker Sores and Cold Sores that are available over-the-counter do not work and are filled with dangerous chemicals. With The Canker Spanker you get a naturally based product that works every time!
In a nutshell, Canker Sores are painful ulcers, or open sores, on the inner membranes of the mouth and cheek, or can resemble pimples on the tongue. Canker Sores are not considered to be contagious and the medical community has not figured out what exactly causes them yet. Cold Sores, on the other hand, are small red blisters that generally affect the mouth and facial areas, but usually appear on the lip and outer edge of the mouth. In contrast to Canker Sores, Cold Sores are extremely contagious and are most often caused by the Herpes Simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
The Canker Spanker was developed by a chronic canker sufferer after years of unsuccessful doctors visits, experimentation, and prayers. The Canker Spanker really wants to inform the world about Canker Sores / Cold Sores and their wonderful product line so that everyone may find a remedy that really works! It is my desire that you and your loved ones will try The Canker Spanker, because I know it will work for you! Buy it and try it today!
Don't forget that The Canker Spanker is Pharmacist Recommended!

Would The House Online Anti-Piracy Bill Lead to Internet Censorship?
- The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was introduced as a House bill
(similar to the Protect IP Act introduced in the Senate earlier this
year) to protect intellectual property from “rouge” websites; it’s
especially at foreign websites. - The Bill is supported by groups like Hollywood and drug companies,
while several others like Google, eBay, AOL and more oppose the bill for
fear of censorship and hindered online innovation. - Social media sites where users may be sharing pirated material could be shut down if this bill became law.
- The House Judiciary Committee heard a panel of six stakeholders — five in favor of the bill and one against.
The House Judiciary Committee had its first hearing for the
proposed Stop Online Piracy Act, which would give law enforcement the
ability to remove websites deemed as infringing on copywrite laws and
protect against counterfeit goods. Although this sounds like something
everyone can agree on, with the way the bill’s current language,
opposition worries over broader enforcement and infringement of freedom
of speech, even dubbing “American Censorship Day.”
American Censorship, the group sponsoring American Censorship Day,
says on its website if the bill were to become law in its current form, sites like Tumblr and Facebook would be shut down. The infographic above details how American Censorship sees the bill affecting online innovation. (Continue reading this story).
Suspect in White House Shooting Captured in Pennsylvania
Law enforcement captured a man Wednesday afternoon wanted in connection with a shooting incident near the White House Friday.
Police took 21-year-old Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez into custody in
Indiana, Penn. shortly after noon on Wednesday, NBC Washington reported. He was captured in a hotel and being held by Pennsylvania State Police. No other details were immediately available.
Indiana, Penn. is about 200 miles from Washington, D.C.
The arrest comes a day after the Secret Service said bullets were found
on the White House grounds. One hit an exterior window of the White
House and was stopped by ballistic glass. An additional round was also
found on the exterior of the White House, though the Secret Service
declined to provide a specific location.
U.S. Park Police issued an arrest warrant for Ortega after connecting
him with an assault rifle and an abandoned vehicle found seven blocks
from Friday’s incident.
Ortega is from Idaho Falls, Idaho, and was believed to be living in
the Washington area. He was reported missing Oct. 31 by his family. He
has an arrest record in three states but has not been linked to any
radical organizations, U.S. Park Police said.
Prior to the shooting, Ortega was detained by local police at an
abandoned house. U.S. Park Police said Ortega may also have spent time
blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters who have set up an encampment
near the White House.
The Secret Service said it has not conclusively linked Friday’s
incident with the bullets that were found Tuesday. President Barack
Obama was traveling at the time of the shooting Friday.
On Wednesday, officials could be seen taking photographs of a window
on the south face of the executive mansion. The window they were
inspecting is in front of the so-called Yellow Oval Room, according to
the White House website. The room is in the middle of the family‘s
living quarters on the floor that includes the president’s bedroom and
the Lincoln Bedroom.

Modified Remote Controlled Army Drone Designed to Hack Your Wi-Fi
Two self-proclaimed hackers — former information technology employees for the U.S. Air Force — have modified an army drone
that can “discreetly break into Wi-Fi networks, emit jamming signals
and even pose as a cellphone tower to intercept communications from the
ground,” according to Popular Science.
Richard Perkins and Mike Tassey spent two years and $6,000 to create this Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform — pet named Vespid, which is Latin for wasp — that they envision use for in surveillance applications.
Here’s what it takes according to Popular Science:
- FQM-117B Army target drone
- High-powered radio antenna
- 32-gigabyte USB drive
- 4G USB dongle
- Two lithium-polymer batteries
Perkins and Tassey removed the drone’s original radio system, which
they replaced with some of the above components for hacking
capabilities. The drone can fly for about a half hour on its battery
power and has soared up to 22,000 feet.
Popular Science reports that then men showcased Vespid to prove a point at an August security conference. (Continue reading this story).
