Here’s two things men don’t need — a machine that helps them menstruate and a foot nipple. Fantastic.

Like a Lady
Posted: Friday, July 2nd, 2010Bone Up On Anatomy
Posted: Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Many of you have written in to suggest making some sort of graphic showing where all the guts and glands live in the body, and I’ve finally gotten around to creating one. It’s even got rollovers so you can learn more about, say, your pineal gland, should you have time to squander. For the purposes of simplicity, we’ve made the body a hermaphrodite — she’s got a uterus to go with her prostate and testes! We’ll call her/him Hermie.
Sexy New Undies
Posted: Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
We are extremely excited to introduce our first pair of I Heart Guts underwear! These fancy pants feature the ovary and testicle in a chance encounter on your panties. At first we wanted to call them Reproductive Booty Shorts, for ladies looking for something special to wear while trying to conceive, but let’s be real. You might not want to tangle with the DNA of some of the gentlemen you take home with you. So we thought about The Sexuality Knickers instead, but that sounds so American Apparel. So they’re Sexy Booty Shorts. Do what you will with them, we won’t judge.
Uterine Song + Dance
Posted: Wednesday, October 7th, 2009Can menstruation be cute? We like to think so. Check out this menstruation animation by Koit Studios for a little instruction on what’s going on down there every month. {Thanks, Carolyn!}
Test For Humans
Posted: Thursday, July 30th, 2009
Considering the fact that I look at internal organs all day long for a living, my score on the name all the internal organs in four minutes quiz is shamefully bad. I only got 15 out of 24 total organs, isn’t that pathetic? Granted, it was mainly because I didn’t really read the directions and forgot to pluralize things like parathyroids and ovaries (and jeez, who knew the esophagus would be included, but skin wouldn’t? And they rejected spelling gallbladder as one word. I say, look it up in the dictionary, bitches). Anyway, learn from my mistakes, pluralize, and take the quiz. The clock does start ticking right away, so be ready to go when you click on the link and don’t dawdle like I did.
Pac Man Fever
Posted: Sunday, July 5th, 2009
This fun little video game really puts the Ms. in Ms. Pac Man, where Pac-man is actually an ovum that gobbles down sperm for strength. It’s an “educational game” on Fertility Friend’s website, but really the only education comes at the end, when you get different conception tips. Anybody know what the crossed out “AF” means? And what are the flaming monsters Ms. Pac-Man must avoid? The only thing missing is the “wakka wakka wakka” sound…
Pancreas Gets A Podcast
Posted: Monday, January 26th, 2009
If you’re interested in hearing me yap on and on about guts, this podcast called Serving Donuts did a little interview with me about I Heart Guts, the sad story of the uterus recall, liver ‘n onions, and the least popular organ. I have a cold, so I sound all stuffy, but if you have time to squander, by all means listen away. These guys have really professional-sounding radio voices, so it was kind of bizarre to talk to them — it felt like talking back to A.M. radio, which I do a lot, incidentally.
Shiny Sparkly Guts!
Posted: Wednesday, January 21st, 2009
We’ve got a couple of sparkly new tees coming in today, both with fabulous metallic inks, we hope you’ll like ‘em. The first, barely in time for Valentine’s Day, is a Heart of Gold tee, for ladies only. Quite possibly even more exciting is our new guts and glands shirt, which includes all the guts and glands characters — even testicles! For those of you really wanting to wear your prostate on your sleeve, this is the shirt for you. They are sorta arrayed where they are supposed to go, offering a mini-anatomy refresher when you need it.
Fallopian Utopian
Posted: Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
One of the best things we saw at last weekend’s Bazaar Bizarre — the Miss Fallopia lapel pin. Made by NifNaks, this little lassie is handcrafted from felted wool, and is ridiculously cute, as you can see for yourself.
Guts on the Go
Posted: Friday, November 21st, 2008
We love our guts so much, we even travel with them — take a look at our silly photos of handmade organ plushies on vacation. See uterus and liver at Hollywood and Vine, and heart and stomach in front of the Empire State Building, in Reno, in Tokyo, and a bunch o’ other places. If you look closely, you can see them getting more and more tattered and ratty over time.
