Most women don't use a diaphragm anymore. Last time I checked the statistics, only 3% of women use one. It's really a shame, though, because if you don't want to pump hormones into your body, the diaphragm, used correctly, is an inexpensive, non-interruptive, highly effective method of contraception.
But what do you do with the old ones when it's time to replace them? It seems a shame -- and certainly not "green" -- to just toss it. If you look at it, there ought to be SOMETHING that Heloise could come up with for it -- temporary drain stopper, gravy strainer...something...
The Thompson family of Tennessee thinks they've found a good use for it: teething ring!
Here's the full video:
As someone who used to use one, I can tell you that you're right. That is one mighty HUGE diaphragm.
