Ok, I’ve been trying to remember just how I stumbled across this one, so please don’t ask. Flojuggler is a new ‘Web 2.0′ app which lets you “Track periods of one or more girls.” As charming as this idea sounds, there might actually be some sort of decent spin off application for such a weird – and kinda gross – idea.
Here’s a video intro which tells you what the site is all about:
Apparently Flojuggler isn’t just for women. To be honest i’m not sure any women would really have to use it – they’re pretty damned aware of when their ‘time of the month’ is, hence products like Feminax existing. But serial daters will certainly find it important to know the details of when every women in their phone book will “see Auntie Flo” – again not my words, but those on the Flojuggler website.
Another wonderful use-case for Flojuggler is for the guy who lives in a “house full of girls ages 10 and up along with mom and Aunt Sue. You want to know when half the house is gonna be ‘edgy’.” (From the wonderful FAQ page right here).
But could an offshoot of this idea actually work and make money? Course it could!
I don’t know if sites like the one i’m about to describe exist – but if they don’t you could be onto a winner if you make it.
As a former contact lens wearer, I used to subscribe to various websites where I could buy my contact lenses automatically. I gave them my credit card details, subscription info, and told them how often i’d need contacts sent out to me – et voila, they’d automatically take money from my credit card and post me out my contact lenses on a set interval date. I never ran short, and never had to waste any time running down to my local opticians.
Could something similar be created for tampons? Maybe a website where you put in your usual cycle times and duration, pre-order six months worth of Always – or whatever you use, pay in advance for the bulk six months supply, get a discount, and get them sent out in the post every month at just the right time.
If you decide to take me up on this great idea, why not tell me about your plans below – if it goes well and you become a multi-millionaire, you can just buy me a Guinness as a ‘thank you’.
