God, don't you just hate it when your vagina goes all quiet on you? When your ovaries stop writing, stop calling? It's like they don't even CARE anymore.

Oh wait, no, actually we've never really thought about the possibility of having a convo with our ladyparts – but it's nice to know that's now an option. Kinda. Step forward: the Looncup.

You're probs already familiar with the Mooncup (a reusable menstrual cup you place inside your vagina instead of a tampon), but this new Kickstarter initiative, the Looncup, has taken the idea a step further: it contains a battery-operated sensor that syncs with your phone telling you when it's time to change the cup, and other periody details – such as the colour of your flow, as a change in colour could indicate stress or difficulty sleeping.

The Looncup also has a matching app that tracks your cycle and alerts you to when you're next due a monthly visit from the womb goblins (much like the Period Tracker Lite app, which is actually pretty handy). Plus the makers of the Looncup promise anybody who takes a chance on their new menstrual robot, absolutely won't experience any adverse health effects/be electrocuted (which quite honestly, is our main concern).

The Kickstarter campaign has already raised over half of its $50,000 target, and if it successful in securing the rest of the funding, the Looncup is set to launch in January of next year.

So there you go, the latest must-have vadget (maybe).
