Ladies only!!!!!

Well, glad someone will. I just talked to my middle child and you should have seen the look on her face. She was fine with the idea of making her own, until I told her she'd have to wash them out to reuse......where, or where did I go wrong??? I told her that I complained that one of my girls uses the most expensive stuff and she started argueing that its not the most expensive. Guilt??? IDK. Well, I did tell her that part about women using about $10,000 in the course of their lifetime on sanitary pads.....that seemed to freak her a bit. Thats a decent second-hand car!!!

That much could get me a new Motorbike quite easily :'l I never actually though about how much money was being put in these darn things. Even if using more expensive cloth for the re-usable kind they pay themselves off in like 1-3 months (the boxes I buy cost about $16-20 since I buy bulk at samsclub)

10 Grand would be almost 1/3 of what it would cost to buy the house we live in

I'd draw the line at washing menstrual products to reuse also. I'm all about saving money an self sustainability but I'm not scrimping on personal monthly products. They dont have to cost the most, but they'll be what works best for me, and disposable.

Well, I no longer have to worry about that. On the other hand, I may become incontinent as I grow older. I would prefer the disposables, but would like to have knowledge and supplies on hand if SHTF to the point where disposables are no longer available. I have enough trouble stocking up food and water without worrying about disposables as well.

Well this site is about preparedness for sure.

If I was still getting my monthly visitor, I'd try this in a heart beat. I always had a heavy flow, and would at times leak. So that would mean I'd have to scrub it out. (I couldn't use tampons.) I can't see a difference between washing these or my clothes.

That video cracked me up!

It's wrong on so many levels, but funny at the same time.

My friend uses a Diva cup and says its probably one of the best choices she's made in quite some time regarding periods.
