I didn't click the link, but I assume you mean the Diva Cup? While I don't use it, I have many friends who do, and apparently, it's really not so strange at all.

Babies who are potty trained? You mean MOMS who are ;)

Orgasm during birth? Only if the orgasm is caused by squeezing Husband's hand so hard he thinks he might have heard a crack :)

I've read about orgasmic labor, never seen it, certainly possible with all the blood engorgement and Why Not?? Nature's little Thank you gift!!
The menstrual cup has been around for awhile, don't sign me up anytime soon, blech!!!
Potty training for infants, Meadowlark nailed it w/the Moms who are trained.

I clikced on the orgasm link cause, hey, let's face it, who among us wouldn't want more of those? Hubs found it creepy but I think it's more about making the birth what it should be. About the mom and dad and putting medical people on the back burner, not the front one. And if you can find an O in there, why the heck not!

Poor baby? I think that kids got a mixing bowl stuck under her butt? I swear my mom has the same one, for mixing that is :) I'm sure the menstrual cup works but it sounds pretty gross. I am a heavier flow and cannot imagine how you deal with that in a public restroom??? Baby's can be trained to read but should they? I think they would have been for centuries if it was a natural thing, ya know? As for the orgasm thing. I had hard labor then a cesarean which was excruciating. I can admit that I have had some very intense O's while Aunt Flow was visiting so I guess it's not that crazy but still??? Cannot imagine it would be happening naturally without a bunch of training. Not what I would want to focus on with all that's going on at such a time. Truly :)
