I don't know if it works, either. @Chris, I don't think this is related to menstrual extraction, although I suppose it could be. If I understand the proposed device correctly, it's not inserted into the cervix. Doesn't menstrual extraction involve suction through a catheter into the uterus? @Jamie, I'm not sure either. Perhaps because tampons absorb so much more, they create the impression of a longer period. @NakedThoughts, I never heard of the vibrator trick! I don’t know if it works, either.
