| Posted: 04 Oct 2012 10:49 AM PDT Sadly, 80% of cervical cancer cases (the 5th most common cancer in women worldwide) occur in low-to-middle income countries where routine checkups & tests aren’t readily available. The Self Smear Test aims to finally provide an economical, easier to operate diagnosis tool that can be operated from the comfort of one’s home. To ensure that users are consistent in their testing, the product includes 6 caps, enough for a 3 year period of testing once every 6 months. Interested to hear what the ladies think about this!

| Posted: 04 Oct 2012 08:45 AM PDT The Easystir is an automatic stirrer that allows you to pursue other work while it diligently looks after your dish. Foods like soups, broths and curries require constant stirring and I know for a fact that with some Indian cooking you need to keep on stirring for hours; yes HOURS! The stirring speed is adjustable, it is dishwasher safe and it doesn't require recharging, battery replacements or plugging at all. It simply uses magnets that react to your induction stove! Electrolux Easystir is a 2012 Electrolux Design Lab Top Ten finalist entry. Designer: Lisa Frodadottir Låstad - Related posts:

| Posted: 03 Oct 2012 12:16 PM PDT I’ve been trying out this new service called MeUndies – a subscription based underwear delivery service. Let’s just assume you change your undies at least once a day. So unless you have 30+ pairs or constantly do laundry or supplement with a few days going commando (kinky), then you’re gonna need some more undies. Although the service does allow you to buy a la carte, you get 20% off per pair by subscribing. That’s $16 a month to get one pair of undies tailored to your style/color preferences shipped direct. But are they any good? Hit the jump. Okay first some transparency. I am currently working on my own underwear for my clothing line so I’ve done a lot of research (totally legit research) on what makes a great pair of undies – at least for men. I also have a degree in fashion design so I’m very familiar with garment construction. So when MeUndies sent me a pair, they were unaware that I would probably be more critical than the average user. A little about me. I prefer boxer briefs. I’ll rock a pair of tighty briefs every now and then but for the most part the foundation of my uniform starts with boxer briefs. Lets start with the good things. It’s made of micromodal fabric which is amazing for undergarments. There’s a lot of stretch with memory. No more saggy bottoms and depending on which research paper you read, modal has anti-bacterial properties. The construction is on par if not superior to other high-end brands like Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, and 2xist. The feel is super soft and thin -thinner than what cotton feels like. So if you’re the kind of guy who wants to feel secure from wearing nothing at all – then you’ll love these. They wash up beautifully. No pilling or color fading. They stretch out a tad during use but after a go inthe washing machine – they return to their normal fit. I can say even after 17 washes (yes I counted), they remain as snug as new. Now on to the bad. I hate the waistband. Let me back up. I hate all these thick elastic waistbands. Conventional wisdom will incorrectly tell you it’s for proper structure and support, but in reality it’s just the accepted norm for men’s underwear and acts as an opportunity for branding. I mean, where else are you gonna slap on a label. That leads me to my next issue. The label bugs, like REALLY bugs. Woven, stitched and in some cases glued on labels need to be banished from undergarments. Stick with sublimation or heat stamping. No matter how soft or well integrated a woven label is, it will wear out over time, the edges will fray and you’ll be driven to just tear it out. So would I recommend this? Yes. Because micromodal really is superior to cotton for undergarments. It’s softer, breathable, has better color fastness, and retains its stretch memory. MeUndies is unique in that they’re really pushing a service which in my opinion is worth it. You get the fit you want, in the style you want, in the colors you want. It saves you a trip and trust me, men and women alike enjoy the feeling of a fresh pair of undies every time. Call it monthly foundational rejuvenation. It can make your day that much better.
