Move over tampon earrings, feminist fashion has a new rage!

Via Denver Post:

Colorful and glittery, they dangle from lawmakers’ ears and lobbyists’ lapels, drawing inquisitive looks and plenty of questions.

What is it? The answer usually draws surprise, sometimes a few laughs and often another question. Really?

“It’s fun to see if people notice them or not,” says state Rep. KC Becker, a Boulder Democrat. “Usually it’s the women who can identify what that is. They are most familiar with what it looks like.”

It’s not a fishing lure — the most common guess. It’s an intrauterine device, or IUD.

Not a real one, but a resin replica of the popular birth control device fashioned into jewelry. Women wear a pair as earrings. Men hook one to a lapel as a pin.
